"I Bought an Animatronic Doll from a Garage Sale. I Think Its Jealous of My Other Toys" | CLANCYPASTA

[00:00:00] All right folks, I hope you're settled in because I've got a story that's gonna sound

[00:00:13] like it's straight out of a horror movie.

[00:00:16] But I swear, it's 100% true.

[00:00:22] I've been meaning to share this somewhere and after browsing around this form a while

[00:00:26] it looks like I found the right crowd.

[00:00:30] I'm a garage sale junkie, have been since I was a kid.

[00:00:35] There's something about hunting through other people's stuff and finding hidden gems

[00:00:39] that just feels magical.

[00:00:41] Plus, it's a great way to find killer deals on things that would otherwise drain the

[00:00:46] bank.

[00:00:48] Anyway, last week I'm driving home from work thinking about what I was gonna make for

[00:00:54] dinner that night when I spot this sign.

[00:00:59] Garage sale at, and then enlisted the address.

[00:01:05] Surprisingly, it's right outside my neighborhood.

[00:01:09] On a whim I decide to check it out.

[00:01:14] This sale spread out in the garage all the way to the driveway.

[00:01:18] Nothing too fancy but pretty packed.

[00:01:21] I start digging through the usual suspects.

[00:01:25] Old DVDs, books, some rusty old garden tools, and a tub full of ancient trinkets.

[00:01:33] And then I see it.

[00:01:36] Hidden behind a stack of old board games is this massive animatronic puppy doll.

[00:01:42] We're talking six feet tall, the kind of thing you'd see outside a toy store and a mall

[00:01:47] back in the day.

[00:01:50] The dog looked like it was going for a big golden retriever look, and it wore a big blue

[00:01:55] t-shirt and no pants.

[00:01:58] Now that it needed any, it was a dog after all.

[00:02:03] It was in surprisingly good shape, considering it looks like it was from the 90s.

[00:02:09] Without a second thought, I bought it.

[00:02:12] The price was a steel.

[00:02:15] I'm thinking it'll make a cool, and it'll be a quirky addition to my collection of oddities.

[00:02:23] My place is already overflowing with collectibles.

[00:02:28] So the garage is where this giant puppy ends up until I can reorganize and find a permanent

[00:02:34] home for the thing.

[00:02:36] I set it up in a corner next to an old bug spunny plushie I've had since childhood.

[00:02:42] Now I love that bug stalled.

[00:02:44] It was my all time favorite when I was a little kid, but that plushie has seen better days.

[00:02:52] It's pretty stained and gross, so it's been relegated to the garage for a while now.

[00:03:00] Cut to the next morning.

[00:03:03] I head into the garage to grab something from a little mini-fritch I keep by the door

[00:03:09] and I freeze.

[00:03:13] The bug spunny plushie is torn to shreds.

[00:03:18] I mean, it looks like a wild animal went to town on the thing.

[00:03:25] My heart started beating a mile a minute.

[00:03:29] My first thought was did someone break in?

[00:03:34] When scanning around, the garage is still locked up tight.

[00:03:39] No signs of forced entry whatsoever.

[00:03:45] I'm rattled.

[00:03:47] Very rattled.

[00:03:49] But I was running late for work as it was so I decided to chalk it up to some freak

[00:03:54] accident or a really determined rodent who managed to scurry on back out of the place.

[00:04:03] I go about my day trying to shake off the weirdness.

[00:04:06] It was a bit hard, I'll admit.

[00:04:10] Not used to having that intense of an adrenaline spike that early in the morning.

[00:04:18] So I come back home in the evening and to my horror.

[00:04:24] The garage looks like a scene from a horror movie.

[00:04:30] Every single toy, every doll I had in the garage is destroyed.

[00:04:35] I had probably about 50 in there.

[00:04:39] They were ripped apart, somehow the fluff completely removed and stuffed into random storage

[00:04:44] boxes, leaving the skin of the poor things laying there on the floor in a million pieces.

[00:04:51] And some even looked like they'd been torched.

[00:04:54] Literally, some were charred.

[00:04:58] That was absolute chaos.

[00:05:01] Except for the animatronic puppy, however, it's standing there completely untouched amidst

[00:05:11] the destruction.

[00:05:14] Not a scratch on the thing.

[00:05:17] It looked exactly like it had when I bought it.

[00:05:24] Now, I'm not one to jump to conclusions.

[00:05:31] But the evidence, which largely makes no sense whatsoever, seems to only be explained

[00:05:37] with one possibility.

[00:05:40] And it's pointing to something I can barely admit to myself.

[00:05:46] It's like there's a circuit in my brain refusing to accept the possibility that this animatronic

[00:05:52] canine is somehow, in some way, alive and wreaking havoc in my garage whenever I'm out,

[00:06:02] apparently.

[00:06:04] Specifically, the other stuffed animals.

[00:06:11] I had to get to the bottom of this.

[00:06:16] So after much brain storming, I set up a little experiment.

[00:06:21] I bought a few new plushies and placed one right next to the animatronic, right where

[00:06:26] that poor bug's bunny was.

[00:06:29] And then for two whole nights, I camped out right outside the garage in my house from

[00:06:36] the doorway.

[00:06:38] I was sitting in a little fold-out chair and had coffee, snacks, my phone to listen to

[00:06:44] music on.

[00:06:45] The works.

[00:06:48] So I'm watching this thing like a hawk all night.

[00:06:52] I'm talking a full eight hours here.

[00:06:56] Nothing.

[00:06:57] It doesn't move an inch.

[00:07:00] In my disappointment, it was only outweighed by my utter confusion.

[00:07:07] I decided to hit the hay for a few hours before I had to get up to work.

[00:07:12] And when I went to leave and enter the garage just a few hours later, I found the new plushie

[00:07:19] torn apart, completely destroyed.

[00:07:25] I froze again for a moment but then let out a long sigh.

[00:07:31] At this point, I'm beyond freaked out but also very tired.

[00:07:38] I'm questioning my sanity, wondering if I'm caught up in some twisted episode of the

[00:07:43] twilight zone.

[00:07:45] None of this made any sense.

[00:07:48] Not at all.

[00:07:52] The next night, I decided to set up a camera to roll the entire time to see if it would

[00:07:58] be tempted with another one of the new plushies.

[00:08:02] But unfortunately, on reviewing the footage, it didn't move an inch.

[00:08:10] It knew I was recording.

[00:08:15] Knowing what would have happened if I left it in there, I decided to just remove the plushie.

[00:08:26] That's when the idea hit me.

[00:08:30] It's a wild idea, but at this point I'm quite desperate.

[00:08:37] Very desperate for answers.

[00:08:42] I suddenly remembered this old werewolf costume I had from a few Halloween's back.

[00:08:49] It's pretty convincing for a Halloween costume.

[00:08:52] Old body suit, mask, the works.

[00:08:57] I figured if I'm right about all this and this thing really is alive.

[00:09:04] And if there's a chance this animatronic puppy is only active when it thinks it's alone

[00:09:11] then maybe just maybe.

[00:09:15] If I'm in the costume, it'll overlook me.

[00:09:21] It might think I'm just another one of the dolls.

[00:09:25] As far as I can figure, this is the only way I'll ever figure out for sure if this is

[00:09:32] really happening.

[00:09:37] So here I am.

[00:09:41] All suited up in my werewolf get up about to spend my night in the garage playing the

[00:09:47] world's weirdest game of hide and seek with a seemingly cursed animatronic dog.

[00:09:55] I've got my phone with me at the moment, fully charged.

[00:10:01] And I'm typing this out as my last act before the stakeout begins, then I'll switch it

[00:10:06] to airplane mode and leave it here on the kitchen counter until I return in the morning.

[00:10:15] And I've told a couple of friends what I'm up to, just in case things go south and as

[00:10:21] I expected they think I finally lost it.

[00:10:26] And you know I just went along with it, laughing with them and trying to convince them best

[00:10:31] I can that I'm not a head case but this is all kind of a game.

[00:10:37] And away I think I'm trying to convince myself because this is all just too weird.

[00:10:47] But one thing I know is that this has got to happen.

[00:10:53] I need to know, I need to see this through for myself.

[00:11:02] I just peeked into the garage as I finish up this post.

[00:11:10] The animatronic is right where it's been since I picked it up, but a small little nightlight

[00:11:15] in the corner of the garage earlier so I wouldn't be immersed in complete darkness.

[00:11:22] So I could see if and when the dog moves.

[00:11:29] I will admit I'm a bit nervous, but this is the only way.

[00:11:33] This is the only plan I can come up with.

[00:11:37] Looking at myself in the mirror.

[00:11:40] I really do look like a big doll.

[00:11:44] A big scary doll, but a doll nonetheless.

[00:11:52] I guess there's nothing left to say.

[00:11:55] Perhaps I'm stalling now.

[00:11:58] Well, wish me luck.

[00:12:01] I'll see you all on the other side.

[00:12:25] Okay.
