The number of hits for each entry is incorrect as well as extremely high - why is this happening?

Hello! So my company's tech blog has been doing well for itself lately - or so we thought!! Some entries have as many as 25,000 hits, but we found this a bit odd as no one was leaving comments or engaging us over social media, and the entries weren't turning up under relevant search terms either. So we checked google analytics, and sadly we've only had visitors into the double digits. So why is the counter so inflated? Has this happened to anyone else? Any idea of why this might be happening? Any insight would be greatly appreciated
