Toys making noise when nobody is around to play with them is a pretty common “ghost” encounter. We had one ourselves with a Sesame Street Ernie doll that would randomly say “I feel great” in an empty room , in the middle of the night, etc. caught it on video once triggering with the doll just lying on the floor.
Turns out when battery voltage gets low (but not yet dead) this can happen in a circuit. I swapped out the batteries and our ghost never came back. Not surprised to hear it happening in a store where stock just sits there for a long time.
Pretty creepy though to hear that when you are lying in bed
It was Yanni Yonson who got me fired as a Christmas Temp for aligning the plushies to mount each other. It was him, I swear.
17 year old me thought an plushie orgy was hilarious. The manager not so.
I got rehired due to the lack of staff and got put on entertainment. Guitar Hero had just came out and I got called up by their parents complaining for not letting their son win. The store was on the skirts of a rich area which encouraged a lot of entitled parents.
Other antics were in bike isle where I let a kid ride a bike who then rode it in to the board-game shelf. How's that my fault?
The kid should know how to ride a bike excuse didn't get me off the hook so my antics ended me in the warehouse and trolley/shopping cart collection duty's.

Maybe it was the ghost of Toys R Us Future (venture capital)

I didn't get rehired the next Christmas.
Now I want to goto the haunted REI
