[@CAmetro_]

Fun fact the screaming that it did is entirely possible in real life if left alone for that long the voicebox could have been damaged and like the animation showed with the battery acid also the eyes rolling back is part of the wake up animation most furbies had where it would roll back its eyes and yawn but instead of yawning it screamed I hope you enjoyed this fun fact so be warned when you leave old toys with batteries alone for years because they can give you a scare later on

[@danielstachowiak568]

They mention its based on a real story that happened to them in the description, so id argue that is what happened

[@witherkilleryeh]

This reminds me of one seahorse toy i had when i was young and it got low batteries. The seahorse toy played music when you pressed its belly, and because the batteries were low, the music was low pitched and freaked young me the frick out. I never touched that again.

[@CyanSoups]

This reminds me of a weird cowboy Mr. Potato Head toy I had as a kid that would talk when you pressed a button. As kids do, I lost it under my bed and forgot about it. Thwn one night I could hear something under my bed which freaked me right out. The damn thing jad damaged itself in such a way all it could do was play a staticy version of a voice clip it had, constant static filled laughter. I still remember it sometimes, probably one of the things that made me scared of the dark as a kid.

[@Matt-td8xw]

Still scary as fuck

[@starlingbaez6681]

Nope, after a while a Furby just stops working. Even if you put batteries in it it would just be a paperweight I left a Furby in a bin for a while. After like a year I looked for it, found it and put batteries in it, and... Nothing. Sometimes I can get the motor to start buzzing but that's it. No demonic screaming. Although it could happen if the batteries die. My Furby's make all kinds of weird sounds when the batteries die.

Not really. I collect them and this is common behavior. The eyes roll up like that, it's part of the Furby bootup. Also, it'll make that noise and freeze on the bootup when something is up with the batteries or when it's broken. As for the Furby still making that noise, it happens all the time. Now for the scratches and the Furby being missing, there's a few scenarios. 1. They made it up. 2. They could have a pet which left the scratches, and someone could have taken the Furby out of the trash since they do have value.

Hey thanks so much mate! This is a lovely compliment and I appreciate it a lot! I'd like to make more of this in the future, my current trajectory is SCP related readings. Depending on how things go I'd love to try doing this with other peoples scary stories, this Furby one made for a good trial as you're right, its an extremely personal one so it was a lot easier for me to recount memories and make it feel natural. I wasn't sure if it would make for enjoyable listening content but I'm glad to hear that it does! The positive receptions been a huge encouragement for me to try more of this type of video ^^

Love it ! An actual good creepy story. I felt really uncomfortable.

[@SparkyCas]

Ah yes, the wonders of electric toys that use sounds. It reminds of this keychain that my mom was given to from her friend and since the batteries were getting tired, and some of the melodies that you could play or sounds that depended on what button you pressed, it has 8 total buttons. And one day, while I was just screwing around with it and pressing the buttons and having it play with these off-key tunes, and since one of my cats were present. Both which are Esma, the tabby and turtle shell hybrid and Sage, the black cat who has a very reminiscent of autistic traits like me. One of them meowed because of the I assume off-tune song that I pressed on the yellow button. So what we learned? Electric toys can be terrifying if left unchecked with the batteries.

[@derangedclownie]

Honestly excepted this to be cheap and one of those “totally true, real story, not clickbait!!” videos, but this is actually really ominous. Good job :) hopefully your furby doesn’t still haunt you lol

[@cryptonaut1435]

1:44 Could you possibly reveal how you created that nightmare inducing sound? I'd like to make a similar audio effect for a game.

[@PrettyFlyForAShyGuy]

Sure! Step 1. get a partner that knows electrical engineering (optional) and owns a function generator (required) step 2. strip down a pair of cheap headphones and remove one of the speakers step 3. connect signal and ground terminals of function generator to wires of speaker, polarity doesnt matter. Can't go wrong with this unless there's not much contact. step 4. turn it on and set some signals, adjust parameters of function generator (shape and frequency) to make a wacky sound, as desired. step 5. record on phone for extra crunchy quality, adjust parameters while recording to get a nice shift in sound midway through step 6. import into software of choice (audacity/sony vegas for me) and add filters, modify and layer multiple different recordings ontop until you have a noise that haunts you at night just right step 7. profit Hope this helps!

Man, I got goosebumps at the end, and this story created such an atmosphere it gave me the chills... Cant quite place what it is that made it so... scary.. perhaps the fact that this whole story has multiple aspects of truth

[@noahduds6579]

I have 1998 furby (and 4 more 98's on the way) I always take out the batteries after every use, since I'd had a similar experience with a 2012 furby.. his batteries were all disgusting and even with a fresh set his voice was tattered.... he'd go in and out of being on and off before completely giving out. It was awful, not as bad as screaming but still-

[@nezuko7645]

Similar thing I had a furby and I forgot it was in my closet and at night it would sit there going “feed meeee” “me sleepy dada” “let me oooooooout” and sometimes it would scream but a quick smack against the bed shut it up and I put it back and the. My dad got sick of it he took it to work and threw it into concrete and now it’s in the foundations of a church and legand has it that it still says “feed me dada” “let me out please” to this day

It started screaming and I nearly pissed my self, but it’s batteries died and it slowed down during the screech which made it sound more demonic and evil. I threw that sucker in the trash and never saw it again.

Great work! Also i don’t have a furby but i used to have a king ghidorah toy that was from a godzilla movie. It’s entire skin was gold. It stands like a human, had no arms, orange eyes, 3 heads, 2 spiky tails and bat-like wings and even has a spiky crest. It had a flying mechanic for its wings so it can fly and flap its wings. I really loved it and it had a remote to control it. Also walks! But sometimes it turns on all by itself (Off and no batteries) and it screamed "BIDIDIDIDIDIDIDIDI" Which was his roar from the movie. It also goes outside and his middle head kept turning and it screamed the same way your furby screamed but it sounded even more demonic. When i played it for the final time it was outraged and nearly tried to attack me in mid-air. I grabbed it off the skies, Stomped on it but the toy still worked. It shot yellow fire at me and almost hit me. I tore both wings off and it flew without its wings. It flew away from my house to find a better owner. Stupid yellow dragon.
