I have noticed some postings dealing with dolls. I have never had anything out of the ordinary happen with dolls, but my son did at one time have a toy truck which behaved strangely. It was a large yellow electronic truck which had some kind of silly name that I can't remember. What it did was it had wheels which were very wide, but had a small radius. When it encountered an object blocking its path it stopped and made the wheel's radius larger then proceeded over the thing blocking its path.

This toy had the most odd habit of turning itself on, and making turns and such by itself. I would be sitting in my living room when I would hear it fire up and proceed out my son's room and directly into the room in which I was sitting. My son lives with his mother except for every other weekend which he spends with me so it wasn't because he had been playing with it recently. I picked the truck up, made sure the gear shift was in the off position and placed it back in the boy's room. Just moments after returning to the living room, you got it here came the yellow truck happily chugging into the middle of the room. It not only came on but had preformed a 60 degree turn all by itself. This toy was not designed to turn.

This strange behavior continued for around a couple of months until one night when a lady friend and I returned to my house late in the evening. We had just entered the house and were greeted by the electronic whirring of the truck which this time had been stowed in the toy box for safe keeping. We entered my son's room and hit the lights. The lid to the toy box was heaving up and down. I lifted the top and there with his wheels fully extended was the truck fighting its way to the top of the toy pile. When I explained the trucks behavior to my friend it upset her a little. I removed the toys batteries and put it away in the garage with the threat that if it ever moved again on its own it was being trashed. My son dug this truck out of the garage not too long ago. We put fresh batteries in it but it refused to work. The toy was thrown away.
