Multinational toy company Mattel has issued an apology after it was discovered that the packaging for its “Wicked” themed toys directed customers to an explicit pornography site. The doll collection, including fashion dolls, singing figurines, and deluxe collectible models, was pulled from the shelves at Target as of Monday and is in the process of being removed from other major retailers, such as Walmart, Macy’s, Kohl’s, Best Buy, DSW, and Amazon, per The Hollywood Reporter.  The boxes were printed with the address of the website wicked.com, which features graphic adult content, instead of the correct address, which is wickedmovie.com. The outlet noted that the wicked.com domain name has been registered to the owner since 1994. “Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold in the U.S., which intended to direct consumers to the official WickedMovie.com landing page,” a statement from Mattel issued on Sunday said.  “We deeply regret this unfortunate error and are taking immediate action to remedy this. Parents are advised that the misprinted, incorrect website is not appropriate for children. Consumers who already have the product are advised to discard the product packaging or obscure the link and may contact Mattel Customer Service for further information.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+ The “Wicked” movie is a musical based on the popular Broadway show that explores the events before Dorothy arrives in Oz. The film features a high-profile cast, with Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo playing the leading roles of Elphaba and Glinda. It’s scheduled to hit theaters on November 22. Erivo made headlines last month after her strong reaction to a fan-edited version of the movie poster, which was altered to more closely resemble the well-known Broadway poster. The actress was furious to see that her eyes were covered by her hat in the edited version circulating online, as The Daily Wire previously reported. “None of this is funny. None of it is cute. It degrades me. It degrades us,” Erivo said of the altered movie poster. “The original poster is an Illustration,” she continued. “I am a real life human being, who chose to look right down the barrel of the camera to you, the viewer …because, without words we communicate with our eyes. Our poster is an homage not an imitation, to edit my face and hide my eyes is to erase me. And that is just deeply hurtful.”

This little girl and her corgi may not be the best at hiding, but their attempt was so cute that Mom just had to play along! In a precious video on social media, a woman stumbled upon the most hilarious sight in her daughter’s bedroom. A pair of very small legs were sticking out from underneath the child’s bed, and next to them was a pair of doggie paws! Neither the girl nor her pooch seemed to be aware of just how terrible their “hiding spot” really was. Of course, these two looked so adorable that Mom didn’t want to spoil the moment. So, she pretended not to see the troublemakers who were visibly lying beneath the bed. As she called out their names, she had to stifle her giggles. @babieface742 Just a girl and her dog! #corgi #corgipoo #fyp #pollywollydoodle ♬ Mischief – Gold-Tiger “I wonder where Polly and Chip are,” the mom wondered aloud. Just when you thought this little girl and her corgi couldn’t get any worse at hiding, the pup’s tail started wagging at the sound of their name. Meanwhile, the child could clearly be heard laughing while Mom pretended to look for her. Although Polly and Chip may not be the best at camouflage, they’re certainly the perfect partners in crime! Over a million people have watched this hysterical video of the sweet girl and her corgi companion “hiding” under the bed. Commenters couldn’t get over this adorable pair! “So stinkin’ cute,” wrote one user. “This could be a book: ‘The incredible adventures of Polly & Chip.'” Another joked, “Did you ever find them? Try another room bc that one is empty.” Apparently, Polly and Chip aren’t the only mischievous duo in the household. Mom shared another video of her tiny son and the family’s French bulldog sneaking cookies in the pantry! @babieface742 When you cant find the baby or dog… #spoiled #pantry #babiesoftiktok #babyboy #babyfever #frenchbulldog #frenchiesoftiktok #cookies ♬ original sound – babieface742 There’s something truly special about the relationship between kids and their dogs. Polly and her brother are so lucky to have these four-legged friends involved in all their shenanigans! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

One mom decided to turn a popular social media trend into a game she could play with her six-year-old daughter, and it turned out to be the best idea ever! In a hilarious video, Macie and her little girl recreated the “suspect” trend that has been going viral online. This challenge involves two people taking turns saying silly facts about each other while filming one another running. Macie’s daughter couldn’t stop laughing as she heard the goofiest details about herself! Typically, the “suspect” trend is supposed to parody a high-stakes chase scene in which authorities attempt to capture a fugitive on the run. However, instead of providing a physical description of the escapee, those participating in the challenge give embarrassing truths about the person running. You can find an explanation of the trend on Dexerto. @macieabernathy She thought this was the funniest thing #suspect #suspecttrend #girlmom ♬ original sound – macie ☻ Some of this mom’s facts about her kid were pretty savage, but the little girl gave it right back to her throughout this funny game! “Suspect likes to eat her toenails,” Macie revealed about her daughter. Later, she added, “Suspect is six years old and still won’t sleep in her own bed.” Some people might feel ashamed after being called out like this on social media, but this little girl loved playing this ruthless verbal game with her mom. Every time she heard an embarrassing fact about herself, she burst into giggles! “Suspect has smelly breath in the morning,” the kid shot back in the video. On her next turn, she said, “Suspect cusses too much.” People thought this little girl’s game with her mom was too cute! Screengrab from TikTok It’s more common to see couples participating in this trend, but many viewers loved seeing a mom and daughter using it as a fun game. Over 18 million people have watched the adorable clip online. “This is the first one I’ve seen with a kid and this is so cute,” wrote one user. Isn’t it refreshing to see a mom and daughter poking fun at each other in this lighthearted game? Learning to laugh at ourselves is so important, and Macie is teaching her child to cultivate this skill in such a playful way! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

When the elderly woman reached out toward her new friend, the critter didn’t seem spooked. They just stood there, watching the human with interest. “This is my sweet elderly neighbor,” wrote Paige over the footage. “Every night I go on a walk and she always comes out onto her front porch to wave hello to me. Tonight when she came out there was a deer right outside her door and I felt like I was watching Snow White.” Grandma has a new BFF! Screengrab from TikTok Commenters loved seeing this beautiful moment unfold between the deer and the grandma. “The deer didn’t run away this confirms her sweet soul,” wrote one user. Another added, “She looks so precious take the best care of her!” In her caption, Paige described her relationship with her elderly neighbor in a little more detail. “She can’t speak very well anymore but always waves to me and puts her hand on her heart,” she wrote. “What an absolute SWEETIE.” It sounds like this woman has a truly kind heart. Perhaps that’s why the deer was drawn to her! You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.

Back on Friday 9/21/2012, Jc Johnson and his team were contacted about disturbing incidents occurring at a residence in the Four Corners area of New Mexico.The family had experienced loud clawing sounds and indiscernible growls outside their home. The daughter has also endured clawing outside her bedroom window as well as unexplained activity within the home. She woke to claw marks on her back and noticed items moved in her bedroom. There have been several attempts to confront this being but in each instance, it has eluded the efforts.There has been damage to the house and a vehicle as a result of these attacks. Deep claw and chew marks can be seen on the truck headlight housing and grill. There have been a few 3-claw prints left on the side of the house and on the ground around the residence.I talked to Jc through Skype soon after receiving the video. He added a few interesting details.There were two separate descriptions presented to Jc. One depiction was that this being resembled the 'Creeper' from the 'Jeepers Creepers' horror film series. A more detailed summary was offered by a witness who observed this being while it was sitting on the ground. It was covered in gray hair and a 3-clawed appendage was visible. The torso-to-head height of this being was about 5 feet sitting, which would make it approximately 8-9 feet in full height. There is an indication that the being has wings which would explain the odd patches of trampled corn stalks in the field as it would fly and then land indiscriminately.Something else that must be considered is the apparent attacks on the daughter within the home. There seems to be a supernatural aspect to this being, lending some credence that it may be a 'thought form' entity manifesting and creating havoc. At this point, it's impossible to distinguish its intent.Click for the video - "The Night Stalker"NOTE: If you have any information about a similar sighting please contact me. LonNOTE: In March 2016, researcher David Weatherly posted the following information:"I've received a curious report out of the Four Corners region involving a strange creature. I'll be posting more details on the case as they become available, but so far, the bare bones of the account remind me of a previous incident covered by Crypto Four Corners.The crew from C4C dubbed this thing the "Night Stalker" due in part to its nocturnal visits. While many people assumed that this was some type of Sasquatch encounter, there are too many aspects to the case that don't line up with a typical Sasquatch."**********BIGFOOT AGGRESSION! - CHILLING EYEWITNESS ENCOUNTERS | LIVE CHAT | Q & A (EXCLUSIVE REPORTS!)PHANTOMS & MONSTERS VIDEO LIBRARYPOLL: WHAT DO YOU THINK?

A reader contacted me about an unknown entity that continually made its presence known in a family's home in Portland, Oregon. What was this? Why was it there?I received the following account:"Hello, Lon. Many years ago, a couple with 2 young boys moved into a venerable one-story house a few miles outside Portland, Oregon. The property was just down the road from us. We had known the wife through our church. After they had been in the house for a few months, they both began reporting strange activity. They had both heard something large and heavy enough to shake the ground with its footsteps coming from the forest and walking around the outside of their house. In fact, it attempted to get in the house on several occasions. It also made growling and snorting noises. This happened several times, always at night.On one occasion, the older of the two boys, then about 4, was heard talking with someone in his room during the late evening. The parents distinctly heard both the boy and a second, male voice. Both parents hurried into the room, to find the child reaching toward the open window, yelling, "No! No! Don't go! Don't go!" This was at first written off as an "invisible playmate," except that the window had been closed to keep the child warm and that he was not strong enough to open it alone.The unknown being continued to prowl outside the house, and the family became horrified of what might happen if it got inside. They refused to go outside after sundown for any reason. After 6 months of fear and without the means to move, they discussed the situation with us one evening. We decided to try to eliminate it. Since both our husbands hunted deer and elk, they both had rifles if needed.The men rigged spotlights all around the house, which were connected to a single switch inside. Late in the afternoon, they got into an old car that was parked on the property in plain sight of the house and hunkered down out of sight. They remained there with some food, coffee, and a walkie-talkie radio.Shortly after sundown, we were inside the house and began to hear something walking the perimeter of the building. The ground shook with each step. We heard it slamming the walls, doors, and windows. I threw the switch for the lights, and the men stormed out of the car with rifles at the ready. They saw the tall weeds moving as though something large walked through it, but could not see what caused it. I was in contact with my husband by radio while we were inside hearing the sounds. The men heard nothing other than my voice on the radio.We were terrified but, as a result of that night, there were no further disturbances at the house (as far as I know) and the family moved out a few months later. There had been several families in the residence since then, though none had reported any activity. The house was demolished recently to make room for a larger residence.I will never forget the sound and fury we experienced that night. Most times when I mention the incident to others they usually say that it may have been a Sasquatch or another large animal roaming around. I doubt that very much since the men never heard or witnessed anything outside the house.The real reason I am writing you is to get your opinion on a theory I have about this incident.The woman had emotional issues and had several 'episodes' after she had given birth to her boys. I suppose this would be classified as postpartum depression nowadays. She was also very young, aged 16, when she was married to her 32-year-old husband. He was a member of a fundamentalist religious sect that was very strict when it came to family. In particular, she was expected to cater to all his needs - literally. I suspect that there was a lot of abuse, which then resulted in her emotional problems.My question is - could this have been a poltergeist activity? Could she have manifested a dark being or force?I will end this email with one more disturbing detail. After the couple moved away, we rarely communicated again. They had moved to Idaho and lived in a very rural community. I was told later that the woman had died while giving birth to a fifth child - but I discovered soon after that she actually died of unknown circumstances that had never been made public. She was only 27." RNOTE: Though I don't know the full details of what happened in the family home, it is conceivable that this situation could have manifested into a poltergeist. These 'thought-form' entities are rarely benign and become quite strong in light of substantial emotional distress. If this fervent abuse continued after the family moved away, I suspect that the paranormal activity continued at the new location. Unfortunately, this is not an isolated circumstance. Abuse and dysfunction in any household can very easily result in a similar situation.
