A Creepypasta Story:Barney

How it all starts

Hello there. I am a single father of two three-year old boys. Their favorite show is Barney and Friends.

...well, it used to be...until last night.

Yesterday, I was looking at my TV Guide when I saw something that caught my eye:

Tonight ONLY!
A LOST EPISODE OF BARNEY AND FRIENDS
FIRST AND ONLY CHANCE TO SEE IT!
AIRS AT 7:00!

Naturally, I asked my kids if they wanted to see it. Obviously, they said, "Yes." I got the popcorn ready. (They love to eat popcorn while watching Barney.)
When the time finally arrived, they ran into the living room, turned on the TV, and sat down on the couch with me. It started, and the familiar theme music began playing.

However, something wasn't right.

For starters, I could vaguely hear whispering during the music, and it sounded creepy. I shrugged it off, assuring myself that it was just my imagination. Anyway, the episode began like all of them do; the kids talked about something while holding a doll version of Barney.

Then, POOF! He comes to life, giggling like an idiot. He started speaking, and I turned it up slightly so we could hear it.

Barney sounded slightly weird, as if two people were talking at once - one with his normal voice, and another that sounded...demonic, to say the least. I tried to ignore it...but that's when I heard Barney say, "Hi, kids. (childish giggling) Today, I'm going to teach you about...DEATH!"

I nearly fell out of my seat when I heard that. I wanted to turn it off, but for some reason, I...I couldn't. The show kept going.
