Or owned a toy that hosted a spirit?

or the devil's mirror?

Stories about people who have played around
with the supernatural.
Stories about play time gone wrong.
Our first chapter comes from Brooklyn,
who owns a very unique stuffed bear.
When Brooklyn was about three years old,
she was diagnosed with a very serious heart problem.
The doctors were always in a panic,
horrified that her death would come any day.
Brooklyn would constantly overhear nurses talking about
how worried they were about a little girl.
She thought that they might have been talking about her.
But, Brooklyn's mom calmed her down
and reminded her that there were lots of patients
in the hospital.
Though it didn't help that whenever her nurse came into her
room, her eyes were red and wet, like she had
just been crying.
It always made Brooklyn nervous.
What was wrong?
The night before Brooklyn was to undergo surgery,
she asked her nurse, "you're always crying when you come in
"my room, why?"
The nurse froze.
She slowly bent down and whispered in her ear,
"You will understand when you see her."
At the time, Brooklyn didn't know what that meant.
The surgery was a success
and Brooklyn now had a new heart.
Being a young girl, she couldn't quite yet grasp the gravity
of what she had gone through.
It didn't even cross her mind to wonder where
this new heart had come from.
She was just happy to be alive and well.
Before she left the hospital,
her nurse gave her a small stuffed bear
and told her to take good care of it.
Years had passed,
and Brooklyn was now about eight years old.
She loved to draw and would sketch cute and happy
characters like Winnie the Pooh and Dora the Explorer.
But one day, while she was drawing, she heard a voice.
It wasn't malevolent or scary,
but rather calm, and peaceful.
"It makes me happy when you make art."
It was faint, but Brooklyn knew that the voice was
coming from the bear.
She knew how crazy it sounded but there was no doubt in her
mind that there was a spirit living inside of it
that wanted to be her friend.
Her name was Rosalita
and she would talk to Brooklyn all the time.
And Brooklyn would talk back.
The problem was that no one else could hear Rosalita.
Brooklyn's parents became concerned that their daughter
was always locking herself in her room
and talking to herself.
But Brooklyn didn't care.
Rosalita had become her friend.
Brooklyn continued to draw pictures for her
to make her happy.
And Brooklyn believes that Rosalita helped her become
a better artist.
Rosalita would guide Brooklyn's hand on the paper.
It was like she was a part of her.
But Rosalita became tired of the childish drawings.
"You need to make real art," she said.
She told Brooklyn to walk outside into the yard,
where she found the bones of a dead mouse.
"Turn it into art," Rosalita said.
"Bring meaning to its death."
So Brooklyn took the bones and glued them on a piece of
paper with Rosalita instructing her each step of the way.
She hung it on her wall and to this day, it's still there.
It always made her parents uncomfortable
so they would always try and take it down.
But, whenever they would take it down,
they would get sick the next day,
and Brooklyn would hang it back up.
Did Rosalita have something to do with that?
For the most part, Rosalita was always sweet and kind.
But there was something odd that happened a few times
that concerned Brooklyn.
When their first family dog died suddenly,
Brooklyn was heart broken.
Rosalita, however, was the opposite.
"Now we can spend more time together."
And in the span of a few weeks,
her other family members' dogs unexplainably passed away.
Did Rosalita have anything to do with that?
Brooklyn is now 19 years old
and still speaks to the stuffed bear
that hosts Rosalita's spirit.
"Do you remember the nurse who gave this bear to you?"
"Yes, I do."
"She was my mom.
"She was always crying because I wasn't doing well.
"I was staying in the same hospital as you.
"Did anyone ever tell you where your new heart came from?"
"No."
"You are my art.
"Your life brought meaning to my death."
Brooklyn began to cry.
"Thank you so much.
"You're so important to me."
"But," Rosalita continued.
"On your twenty-first birthday, I have to go."
"What do you mean?"
"I have to move on."
"Oh, why?"
Rosalita paused.
"I just have to go,
"and I'm bringing my heart with me."
"Does that mean that I'll..."
Rosalita didn't say another word
and wouldn't answer Brooklyn
whenever she brought it up again.
What did Rosalita mean by that?
Guess she'll find out in two years.

What do you think about Brooklyn's experience?
Do you think by having Rosalita's heart
she somehow became psychically connected with her spirit?
And do you think Rosalita is a good spirit
or a bad one?
