  (#5) The Creepy Teddy

  From Redditor/u/Raidenist:

  "My sister had a teddy bear, a scary teddy bear. I do not know why, but it creeped me out. It was just so disturbing to me. The thing had eyes that looked so real. It was as if it was made from a real bear, and its face was just blank and unsettling.

  I first started to get weird feelings about the bear when my sister first got it – she was only a baby at the time, and I was about four... Every time I went up [the] stairs, I saw that creepy bear suddenly glare around the corner at me, as if it was watching me. This wasn't the weird part; it started to get really weird about five years later, at the age of six or seven. My sister had lost interest in the bear, so my mother just threw it in the old toy cupboard. The only problem was that the cupboard was in my room...

  When I needed to yawn, I closed my eyes. I opened them to see the teddy sitting closer to my bed. At this point, I was really freaked out. I started to move back to the wall and looked around to see if there was any sign that anyone had come in. When I looked back to see the teddy on the end of my bed, I was so startled that I almost fainted from fear. When I blinked, it had gone. I looked around. To my relief, I saw no sign of it.

  I sat my head back down on my pillow hoping for some sleep. Then, I opened my eyes. It was above my head, staring straight down. I screamed as it lunged down at me. I will never see a bear the same way again. A few years later, after years of horror, I burned it; I sat in enjoyment as the bear was turned to smoking ashes in my fireplace...

  When I turned 19, I was about to move into my new home... After hours of carrying, I carried the final box from the removal truck into the front door and shut the door behind me. I turned to go into the kitchen and put it on the table. I opened it to see a cabinet. I took it out, walked into my new living room and placed it in the corner, stared at it and thought to myself, 'I don't remember packing this cabinet.' I didn't really care that much as I had just moved into my new home.

  I walked back into the kitchen to grab my television and brought it into the living room when I saw it. The teddy, it just sat there, staring at me."

  (#4) Come Dream With Me Tonight

  From Redditor/u/Creamoclapton:

  "When I was five years old my uncle was watching the movie Child’s Play. I knew this because I was watching it too. That movie had a profound effect on my life and mind for many years...

  At that time, one of my most favorite toys was Teddy Ruxpin. He was an animatronic bear that would read you a story through his speakers. As he read the story he would blink his eyes and move his mouth like he was speaking. He was my best friend and I listened to his stories all the time. I would imagine us going on epic adventures together along with his best friend Grubby. Grubby was an orange caterpillar that could be connected to Teddy and he would also move his mouth and eyes as he spoke his lines. He couldn’t play cassettes himself so you needed to have Teddy for Grubby to work. This would come into play in a different story. His voice was low and slow. Think of Patrick from Spongebob and you are close.

  One night, some time after I had seen Child’s Play, I sat restless in my bed unable to sleep. Teddy was sitting on a shelf overlooking my bed as he always did. Since I couldn’t sleep, I started imagining going on another adventure with Teddy. I didn’t get very far into the story because when I began to stare at Teddy, I swear I saw his eyes blink and his mouth open. I have no idea how long I sat there staring at him in disbelief not sure what I had seen was true or not. But I didn’t have too long to wonder because something even more terrifying happened next.

  When you start a cassette there is a small bit of soft music that plays and he says one of his catch phrases. 'Come dream with me tonight.' Normally it is sung in a light and sweet voice. This time though it came out as something from the exorcist. It had a low, slow, and almost demonic tone as that catch phrase I had heard so many times played from the speakers. 'Cooommmmmme drrrrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaam wiiiiiiiiiittttttthhhhh mmmmmeeeee toooooooooonnnniiiiiiightttt.'

  At this point, I screamed at the top of my lungs for my mom and dad. They bolted out of bed and into my room to find me crying. They asked what was wrong and I told them. They took Teddy out of my room and put him in their closet. I later found out they had to stifle some laughs and curses aimed at my uncle for letting me watch that movie.

  You may chalk it up to a wild imagination from a young child who had watched a scary movie too early in his life but something happened seven years later that leads me to think otherwise. When I was 12 years old I went looking in my parent’s closet looking for something and happened to unearth Teddy inside of a box. I’m almost positive that I saw his eyes move from completely open to an almost sinister look and his mouth opened. And without touching him that slow, deep demonic voice said, 'Cooommmmmme drrrrrrreeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaam wiiiiiiiiiittttttthhhhh mmmmmeeeee toooooooooonnnniiiiiiightttt.'

  (#3) The Possessed Toys

  From Redditor/u/PhantomSlave:

  "When I was younger, I used to own a Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby talking doll set... They were a birthday gift from my parents in 1987 or ‘88, and I really enjoyed having them. But something always felt odd about them, and as the years passed, any children who came near them always said they were scary...

  Fast forward to 1995. My little brother and I are doing some spring cleaning and I’ve been tasked to clean out the closet in the spare room. I’m rummaging around through the closet... I see the forgotten about Teddy Ruxpin doll, smile at it and tap it on the nose. At this point the most terrifying thing that’s ever happened to me (so far) happens. 'Hi,' says the doll. His animatronic mouth opening and closing for a brief moment as it mumbles the word. Out of the room I go, running faster than I’ve ever ran before. My brother hears the commotion and calls out to me.

  Once I got my sh*t together I told my brother what happened. He laughed at me, called me a wuss, and proceeded to go into the spare room and pulls the doll off the shelf. No batteries, cassette tape, nothing. Its eyes just open and blank. 'You’re dumb,' says my brother. He thinks I’m trying to scare him and nothing I say convinces about what just happened. I begin to doubt myself. Maybe it didn’t really happen? Maybe there was some weird malfunction? I don’t know what happened, but I was terrified...

  Other unexplained behavior of those two dolls happened over the course of another couple of years. Every time I had a sleepover, people in random places in the house were waking up to the dolls either in their beds or somewhere in the room with them. Practical jokes are one thing, but whoever was doing this was going too far. One random night during the summer we decide we’ve had it with the practical jokes, if that’s what it was, so we perform a 'Seance' as much as a bunch of young teenagers can. We all hang out in the spare room, which has no furniture in it at all at this point. The Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby dolls sitting firmly in the closet on a shelf. We make sure to close their eyes and mouths, and we all walk to the other side of the room.

  This is where sh*t hits the fan.

  Arms linked, left to right, we all sit down on the floor. Josh closes the door (he was closest) and stretches to shut off the light. We’re all sitting here now in pure darkness. Arm in arm, no way for any of us to move without somebody noticing. It’s also a small room and things echo, so even somebody breathing hard or moving their foot is very prominent. Each of us in turn asks the dolls to show themselves for what they really were. I don’t know what any of us were expecting, but you could sense that a couple of them weren’t taking this seriously.

  Then we heard it. 'Hi,' accompanied by the mechanical sound of Teddy Ruxpin’s jaw as it moved. Everybody freezes and it’s now complete silence. No movement, nobody is even breathing. Something in the closet stirs slightly and then everything is silent again.

  'Who’s there?' somebody asks. Nothing. No words, no sounds, nothing.

  We all sit there in complete silence for hours, too terrified to move. Dawn is approaching now, and the faint bit of light it creates gives us the horrifying realization that both Teddy Ruxpin and Grubby are on the floor just a few feet away from us, eyes and mouths wide open. Again another hour passes, none of us brave enough to move. The sun is out now and the room is beginning to brighten. Josh gets the courage to stand up first, followed quickly by the rest of us. We dart out of the room, slamming the door behind us, locking it, and continuing our quick pace up the stairs and out the front door. Josh’s house is just a couple of houses down.

  Those dolls had to be destroyed, and we’re the ones that are going to have to do it.

  We get back to my place, armed with matches and lighter fluid. There’s a note on the door, 'Jonathan, I saw those dolls you left on the stairwell. Took them with me to donate them at the local shelter.'"

  (#9) The Eyes Glowed Red

  From Redditor/u/farmsfarts: 

  "One of my church elders in the 1980s told us that a girl had one of these, it turned on in the middle of the night and started talking to her, and the eyes of the Teddy Ruxpin were glowing red..."

  (#7) He Fed His Teddy A Penny

  From Redditor/u/Harvest2001:

  "When Teddy Ruxpin came to be I was around the age of four or five. In my infinite wisdom I decided he was hungry. Now, knowing he was a mechanical bear, I thought that he must eat metal. So I fed him a penny. He has a throat that goes somewhere into his body. To where, I do not know. But that night, after I fed him the penny something happened. Whether the penny tripped something, I'm not sure, but he just randomly started talking all demonic at like 2 am while myself and my brother were sleeping. I jumped out of bed and slammed the door shut in my brother's face to die with Teddy Ruxpin. I ran quickly to my parents room.

  I cried and cried. I don't remember seeing him much after that, but to this day I don't care for electronic/mechanical teddy bear-looking devices. They're just creepy."

  (#6) How Is It Still Talking?

  From Redditor/u/robmandu:

  "We thought this Teddy Ruxpin bear was busted. It’s old – dated as 1985 – and we weren’t surprised nothing happened when we put new batteries in.

  We were very surprised when we took the batteries out and then it started talking!

  WTF?"
