I'm starting to think some of Gabe's toys are possessed by demons that think it's funny to scare me. Here's my freaky toy stories.
Case #1: One night John was working late so I was home alone. Gabe was in bed, the house was silent, all the lights were off, doors locked and I was sitting in the front room at the computer when from the kitchen I hear a woman's voice say, "Won't you come play with me?" I freaked out! Someone was in our house! I jumped up and turned on all the lights I could expecting to see someone standing in the kitchen, but no one was there! No, it turned out to be Gabe's toy car that sings songs, recites the alphabet, and apparently now gets lonely late at night in the dark! Freaky little car. While Gabe was playing with the hose this summer he started hosing down the freaky car. At first I stopped him, thinking if you get the car wet . . . it won't work anymore. So, naturally I let him continue to hose down the car. Pretty soon it was making sick computer gurgling garbled death noises and then it quit making noise all together . . . Ding, dong the witch is dead! About a day later, it started talking again.
Case #2: A few months ago John and I were both awoken from a dead sleep by the tune "Here we go Luby Loo, Here we go luby lye, Here we go Luby Loo, all on a Saturday night." We both sat straight up in bed because we knew exactly where that music was coming from! It was one of Gabe's toy cars again. The thing that freaked us out about this car is the fact that it is motion activated. Meaning SOMEONE has to walk past it in order for it to make noise! So we get up and do a search of the house trying to find the car and trying to find whatever made it go off . . . okay, okay, John searched the house, while I stayed where scardy cats stay, in bed. Alas, the search resulted in nothing, not even the car. Hmmmm. Mysterious.
(We found the car the next morning in our closet.)
Case #3: Last night at the lovely hour of 3AM I was again awoken by the sound of one of Gabe's toys! What's going on with the toys in our house??? This time it was his fire truck. Weee wooo weee wooo wee wooo. John slept through this one. Well, he slept through it until I woke him up to search the house! Again, nothing. Just demonic toys. Did I mention you have to push a button to make the fire truck make that noise? Does anyone else ever get freaked out by their kids toys or is it just me?

Ha! yes, we can totally relate! Our toys are finally where they belong, in the basement toy room with all the other scary things-where we can't get spooked by them in the insane nightly hours!
Graysen got a Baby Einstein's puppy one Christmas and it woke us up a couple times. Sheesh! So annoying. I have been hearing things lately (not toys though) and I've made Chad search the house in the middle of the night too!
You guys are all crazy! The only thing that freaked me out in my house was the man in the fruitroom! I still get scared when I think about him...and ironically, he moved with us to our new house! I have my lovely sister, Lynne to thank for this as she was the first to suggest his existence in my childhood home. I wish he would quit following me!
We've had a couple toys sound randomly... but nothing as freaky as your stories. EEk!
Nothing like a good ghost story! Hm, let's see "I'm back". Luv you all and sleep tight tonight.
Dad
Maybe you should try casting out any evil spirits...or just take out the batteries. Sounds like Gabe has too many toys that make noise. We have been lucky to never have this problem. Thanks for sharing! Love ya!
