Creepy moment woman finds 'possessed' laughing toy at abandoned mental institution

This is the spooky moment a woman finds a "possessed" toy in an abandoned mental institution.

Urban explorer Gabby, 24, found the property online and decided to go with her boyfriend Sonny, 25, and her friend Dan.

She filmed the terrifying experience and shared it on TikTok.

Gabby did not disclose the location in the US, but said the institution was opened in the 1800s as a state-run facility for those with mental disorders, with the school accepting patients of all ages.

The school was allegedly shut down after multiple lawsuits due to negligent care and mistreatment of patients.

The location was the first that Gabby ever visited, and she decided to revisit it recently, where she found it in a state of “severe decay”, with peeling paint, debris on the floor, and powdered asbestos covering the basement, and vandalism from its years of abandonment.

However, one room contained a small pink horse toy called Pinkie Pie from the My Little Pony franchise.

In a clip that Gabby filmed, the toy can be seen sitting on a red table in the middle of one of the rooms.

It then shakes its head rapidly while emitting a laughing sound.

Gabby says: “It just started and we did not touch anything. It’s been sitting here for years, so how the hell did that battery last?”

Gabby shared the eerie footage on TikTok with her 1.5 million followers with the caption “I don’t think we were alone”, where the post racked up 690,000 likes.

One person said: “Poor pinkie pie is being possessed.”

Another added: "Just grab it and throw it so hard at the wall."

Someone else said: "I do not claim this negative energy.”

One said: "This gave me really bad vibes make sure ur protected! oh god."

Another user commented: “Why are you just waiting there to get in your car and hit the gas pedal in the zoom zoom.”

Another agreed: "I would have burned the place."

Other viewers dubbed it “Ghost Pinkie” and “possessed”.

Gabby said going to the institution was “anxiety-inducing” and said she found items including patient files with personal medical documents inside the institution.

She found one file with a young girl’s photograph on it, showing that she had been admitted to the facility more than 50 years ago – and Gabby believes the child may have been responsible for the pony toy.

Gabby said: "I didn't think much of this discovery at the time. We ended up making our way to a different building and upon our entry, we came across an eerie-looking My Little Pony doll.

“All three of us walked right by it and continued through the rest of the building. Once we decided we were ready to leave, we walked by the doll again – except this time, it began to move and laugh hysterically.

“We were immediately terrified and I decided to capture it on my phone since we were struggling to debunk what was occurring.

“If the doll had motion sensors then it should have gone off when we entered the building and walked by it earlier, yet it didn't.

“I had also decided to hold on to the girl's patient file that we had discovered earlier since I knew it was one of the last documents present in this location that deserved to be preserved.

“This made me question if there was possibly a connection between me making contact with a young girl's file and then being interacted with by a toy that she likely would have loved to play with.

“Regardless, I am uncertain of what we experienced and only know that it terrified us at the moment and leaves me wondering if it was simply a malfunctioning toy or something indicative of the paranormal.”
