When we were kids we adored our toys and stuffed animals. We loved them so much that we would take care of them by tucking them in at night and never leaving them alone for too long. Of course that was all play and pretend. However, for one of our toys it may have been more than that. It was Halloween time in 1998 when the first generation of Furby was released since then, urban legends surrounding the toy have circulated and have created a global rumor that these toys have the capability of being controlled by something we can't see.
