Maybe it was the ghost of Toys R Us Future (venture capital)
Toys making noise when nobody is around to play with them is a pretty common “ghost” encounter. We had one ourselves with a Sesame Street Ernie doll that would randomly say “I feel great” in an empty room , in the middle of the night, etc. caught it on video once triggering with the doll just lying on the floor.<p>Turns out when battery voltage gets low (but not yet dead) this can happen in a circuit. I swapped out the batteries and our ghost never came back. Not surprised to hear it happening in a store where stock just sits there for a long time.<p>Pretty creepy though to hear that when you are lying in bed
It was Yanni Yonson who got me fired as a Christmas Temp for aligning the plushies to mount each other. It was him, I swear.<p>17 year old me thought an plushie orgy was hilarious. The manager not so.<p>I got rehired due to the lack of staff and got put on entertainment. Guitar Hero had just came out and I got called up by their parents complaining for not letting their son win.<p>The store was in the skirts of a rich area with lots of entitled parents.<p>Other antics were in bike isle where I let a kid ride a bike who then rode it in to the board-game shelf.<p>How's that my fault? The kid should know how to ride a bike didn't get me off the hook so my antics ended me in the warehouse playing cricket with the plastic cricket sets and I didn't get rehired the next Christmas.<p>Toys-R-Us was rad for an ADHD kid like me.
Now I want to goto the haunted REI
