This belongs to Phytolacca genus. For an accurate identification of species belonging to this genus, count the number of stamens and take a close-up picture of one of the fruits. – Alina Sep 22 '17 at 06:42

It appears to be Phytolacca americana, commonly known as Pokeweed, which does pop up all on its own, see the following article for more information: Pokeweed, American (Phytolacca americana): The Jekyll and Hyde Plant.

This is actually the 8th time this plant has been asked about here (closing as duplicate). I think we should propose a pokeweed identification Stack Exchange site – J. Musser Sep 22 '17 at 00:11
