Creepy true story's from Reddit

i had a scary elmo phone

this is a true story. it happened when i was little like 4-5. i had an elmo phone that was passed down to me so like it was missing a button but that was it. it worked perfectly and i had no problems up until that day. at the time my family was 5 people including me, my mom, my dad , and my older brother and sister. my sister was about 15 and that day she stayed over at another house ig (point is that she wasn't at the house at all until the next morning) we were all getting ready for bed and the phone was on my sisters bed. there is only two beds and the other bed is for me, my brother, my mom and dad. we go to sleep like any other night until we were woken up to the sound of elmo going "La la la la, la la la la, elmo's world" ( if you don't know the song, try looking it up ) my parents thought it was my sister coming home like REALLY late so they were mad at first and then we look up ( my sisters bed was a bunk bed and hers was on top) but nobody was there. we weren't honestly scared because we had a lot of toys that went off at night so we just dismissed it as nothing. we went back to sleep but you guessed it, the song went off again. my dad loves his sleep so he was annoyed and took out the batteries while cursing at it. he threw the phone and batteries in my moms closet he came back to bed and we all fell asleep. we go to sleep and i swear to fucking god the song. goes. off. again. okay at this point i'm crying because i'm thinking elmo's gonna fucking kill me and my brothers like yelling at my dad to kill elmo my moms tryna calm us down and my dad is walking to the closet. so my dad ( half asleep and honestly not faded by this maybe because ITS A FUCKING TOY) goes to the toy and just breaks it in half. we kinda fall asleep thirty minutes later and only wake up to the morning. we all wake up and remember what happened so we go and check my moms closet and it's not there. like gone. out of thin air. the batteries the broken phone, everything gone. now maybe my dad threw the phone but he genuinely looked scared like he told my mom "i'm sure i left it here...did you move it?" we ripped apart the closet first then the bedroom and then our whole house. it was no where to be found. my dad first had a dream it was in the mattress. he woke up in sweats and took the day off from work because he was so shook and scared. my mom was second and thought it was still in her closet. my brother had a dream it was in our shower and i thought it was under our stove. my sister didn't have any dreams about the toy. i still feel like i'm gonna hear that stupid song one day when i'm alone in the house. ( we haven't moved).
