		<description>I read the full story for the rag doll (I can&#039;t even type out the name)... the-doll-who-must-not-be-named, and I am TOTALLY freaked out!  Holy crap!

Spoiler Alert:
Is this where they got the idea for Paranormal Activity?</description>

		<description>The Hands Resist Him is a hoax.  The painting is no more haunted than the footage in The Fourth Kind is real.</description>

		<description>My friends and I had a furby experience that was definately frightening. We kept messing with it and it was getting aggrivated at us, so my friend turned it off... well, then it started speaking, with the switch off, so we took the batteries out... and I swear, it started talking again... so we put it in the freezer and went to sleep... and the next morning it was sitting right outside of her door. LOL.</description>

		<description>I&#039;ve been to Belcourt! My family went on a Halloween-y tour of the Newport Mansions, and this bit was included (I recognized the room instantly, even though I was maybe 10 when we went?). I think my mom sat in the chair, but I don&#039;t remember if she felt anything. I was probably too terrified to really ask-I still get freaked out by the paranormal.

I thought my stereo was haunted one time when I was in high school because it kept turning itself on and off, but then I realized the Power button was partially pushed. 

The candle in my bedroom that one time decided to start burning again (brightly, suddenly) three hours after I put it out one night, however, was very real. Possibly related to the footsteps my mom hears upstairs when she&#039;s the only one home.</description>

		<description>My dad told me a story from when he was a teenager about a haunted table. I&#039;m not sure of the details about where it was located in Louisiana, but apparently it was in a back woods bar. He said that he and his friends were about 17 or 18 and they had heard stories about it and finally went to see it. Dad said that he and three other friends sat around the table which would move to answer your questions. He said that it would tap its leg once for yes and twice for no. He thought that his friends were lifting up the table and they were having fun, but then, they asked the table to dance and turned on some music. Dad said that it started dancing so wildy that they all jumped up and backed against the walls as the table would jump into the air and spin. He said it was like fear swept through the room and he was very disturbed by this. They left and never went back. I&#039;ll see if I can get details from him regarding where this was/is.</description>

		<description>I have seen Robert in person and took his picture. They say that his hair was blond when it was first made. It is now turning white. The owner of the museum said they think the soul which is in him is dying?!?</description>

		<description>I remember watching some TV program, when I was about eight, about haunted things and that Raggedy Anne doll was on it. I was so freaked out that to this day I cannot stand those dolls.</description>

		<description>In my own house we have the ghost of an abused teenager that commited suicide on the front stoop.  Occasionally, odd things will happen in the house.  And frequestly the cat (and sometimes the dog) will sit in the hallway playing with &quot;someone&quot;.  The cat is more noticible because he lifts his butt in the air like someone was stratching him.  I found a picture of a previous owner (original owner) in the army in the rafters in the eves - i believe this to be our ghost&#039;s father. I made the mistake of moving it while cleaning and the supernatural activity indreased - sinks would turn on, lights on, doors slamming, items going missing.  I replaced the picture and everything calmed down again.  We had an addition put onto the house and i insisted that the picture be kept in the attic area then placed under the floorboards of the second story.

		<description>OK So it&#039;s not a haunted Barney, but just as bad- I did have a haunted Teddy Ruxpin doll. I got it as a present for my who-knows-which birthday, but never really liked it. It had a battery pack in it, and when you squeezed him somewhere (wrist?) it would speak to you. &quot;I&#039;m Teddy Ruxpin.&quot; &quot;I would like to play with you.&quot; Creepy stuff like that. So it wound up on the top of my bookshelf where it sat for several years. Once or twice I got freaked out by it looking at me, so I wound up putting my Babar in front of it.
I swear to God- many years later (I believe I was mid-way through high school), I was falling asleep one night and the damn thing said &quot;I would like to play with you.&quot; I nearly fell out of my bunk bed. That thing wound up in the trash that night. OOOOOOHOoooooohhooooo</description>
