I have one of these toys, Mr. Squiggles..it’s a battery-operated hamster that makes noises, laughs, talks and moves around in different directions. I had put it in a cabinet with the doors closed. Heard it laughing and talking a couple hours ago. No one turned it on or anything and it kept doing it randomly. I don’t know how it happened but it is very strange.

If you leave batteries inside toys, they will randomly turn the toy on when they start to die. Replace the batteries, and turn Mr. Squiggles off, and you should be all set.
I had a "haunted" night while working at the Homeless Shelter once, and learned that the "London Bridges Falling Down" toy, (which I had to carry down the hall and lock in the office), had dying batteries, and that is why it kept doing that.
@4meAndyou I think I bought it at a garage sale several years ago and it may have the same batteries in it that it had when I got it. Anyway I put it out in the sun room so the birds would be entertained or spooked when it randomly came on today.
