It is literally everywhere.

There is, its how you bring you kids up, my 2 lads where never given handguns as toys (and fortunatly never showed an interest in action man) and now have a firm belief that GUNS ARE NOT TOYS, and i sincerely hope they will pass this on to their children.

Pazza when my son was born, I was a firm believer in "no toy guns" in this house. I swore I would never buy him one and I never have. Over the years, he has gotten quite the toy gun collection ( mostly water guns) from various sources, mostly given to him as gifts I guess. He is almost 10 now and has always been taught that guns can hurt and kill people.
My point ( and I do have one) is that even though his father nor I have never given him a toy gun, he still acquired them. But whether a child has them or not is not really the point....you were right when you said it is how you raise your kids. I am willing to bet even if your children had had toy guys, they would grow up with the same attitude they have now towards real guns.
Sorry for the Off Topic input here...but the Gi Joe/gun thing started it. :tongue:
Have they looked for the 666 on her head?
She seems pretty dam scary!I'm not sure if they should get rid of the doll as you don't really know how she'll take it if she is mentally disturbed.
Anyway...back to the thread... Isn't it interesting how claims of haunted toys don't go to teddies or stuffed "cuggily puppies" etc...?
So, two questions, a) how old is your cousin? and b) what was the machine doing that made it seem like"praying"
I hereby nominate the praying washing machine as an instant Fortean classic of high strangeness.

Satanic rumors
During 1983, rumors of the Smurfs' Satanic activities spread across Puerto Rico. Those who believed the theory claimed seeing Smurfs below plants in their houses, next to their beds, dressed as the devil, etc. As Telemundo Puerto Rico had just begun to telecast Smurfs programs that year, a possibility exists that a rival television channel started the rumors.
The rumors spread like wildfire through the religiously conservative Latin America, where people went so far as to claim that small, demon-like Smurfs propagated through their recorded albums and attacked those who would play their music. This was very much in tune with the prevalent belief of the 1980s of satanic propagation through recorded music, as many rock bands made open references to satanism in their work.
Shortly thereafter in the United States various conservative Christian groups also began to label the Smurfs as "Satanic" -- due to the positive light in which their activities portrayed the use of magic and of sorcery.
The Smurfs were at their peak during the mid-'80s and characters such as the evil wizard Gargamel and his cat Azrael, Papa Smurf, Smurfette, Brainy, Grouchy, Baker, and Handy became icons in their own right. Rumors sprung during this time that Smurfs were satanic, despite the release of a Christmas album containing some daringly Christian messages. The Smurfs craze lasted for an entire decade and even though the stories spread in new directions with new characters (Grandpa and Nanny, Sassette, Nat, Snappy, Slouchy, and Baby Smurf), the peak was over and the series ended. In an attempt to bring the Smurfs back into view, a talking Baby Smurf doll was released in the early '90s. Instead of finding a renewed popularity, doll was yanked off the shelves due to the fact that its muddled voice appeared to be saying vulgarities (this did not help the rumors of Satanism).
