The Toys 'R' Us toys store where strange paranormal activity happens,
is located at 13O El Camino Real, at the corner of El Camino Real and
the Sunnyvale-Saratoga Road in Sunnyvale, California.
"Murphy's Ghost" has been a U.S. national story many times, including
the television program "That's Incredible", also there was a special
done for the CBS Network on poltergeist activity, and the innumberable
news stories (a synopsis is included below).

The ghostly games at the Toys "R" Us store include:

1.  Dolls that aren't supposed to talk, and then start talking.
2.  An employee was sitting alone in the employee lounge - Suddenly a
    large bulleting board secured to the wall began to swing back and
    forth.  Then a stack of papers on top of the refrigerator fluttered
    to the floor, one by one.  There was no fan or ventilator system
    that could account for this.
3.  Charlie Brown another Toys 'R' Us employee, had a brush with the
    supernatural one evening while closing up.  He had just locked the
    door when he heard a banging sound from inside.  Brown returned to
    the building, unlocked the door and entered - there was no-one
    inside.  He closed and locked the door and the banging started
    once more.  The pattern continued several times until he finally
    gave up and walked away.
4.  Regina Gibson, a clerk, tells of hearing her name called again
    and again while she was alone in the Customer Service Area and of
    feeling someone running its fingers through her long hair while
    she was perched on a high ladder stocking shelves.
5.  Judy Jackson, the store manager, was recently confronted by a
    customer who complained, "There's something strange going on in the
    women's bathroom."  Jackson listened in amazement as she explained,
    "I turned off the water faucet, but by the time I reached the door
    it had turned itself on again.  I went back and turned it off, only
    to have it turn on again.  This happened three times and now it's
    on again."
6.  One evening just before closing time, Bill Peevan, another employee,
    carefully stacked a group of shoe skates on a shelf.  He was the
    last one out of the building.  The next morning he returned to find
    them rearranged in an intricate pattern, on the floor.
7.  Another employee stated, that "You hear your name called when you
    know nobody else is in the store.  Walk up aisle 4A to 4B and you'll
    feel the air change, like he's breathing on you.  Stuff will fall
    off shelves for no reason, and toys that you put in one place will
    turn up in another.
8.  Another employee, who didn't wish to be interviewed, said she saw
    him (the ghost) two weeks ago. (as reported in news clippings).
9.  Another employee Putt-Putt O'Brien, who has spent 18 years stacking
    toys at the store, stated also of the change of air, and also
    hearing his name many times.
1O. A former employee, Margie Honey stated that she is not entireley
    sure the ghost is completely friendly.  She recalled a time when
    a clerk picked up a box of baby products for a customer, felt
    something hot, and found three long scratches down her face.
    Honey, who started working there even before the store was
    completed, said someone used to come up and tap people on the
    shoulder, and no one was there.
11. As of 12 July, 1995, another case has come to the attention of the
    investigator of these occurances.  An individual who resides very
    close to the Toys 'R' Us store, while knowlegable of the case
    history, brought her husband to the store recently.  Her husband
    started to say the name, "Murphy", and in a feeling of dread.
    He complained wishing for the couple to leave the store immediately.
    Reportedly the husband did not know anything about the particulars
    of the haunting, nor anything about Murphy, nor even his name
    prior to the incident.
12. Also another individual which remained anonymous in a news story
    has stated that some toys did in fact leap out at him while in the
    store, and for no apparent reason whatsoever.
13. Coincidentally and strangely after the first publishing of this
    investigation in the fall of 1994 a former long time employee of
    the Sunnyvale Toys R Us store happened to arrive at the employment
    location of the author of this investigation, as a contractor
    employee.  Statements were made that long time store manager,
    Stephanie Lewis who's offices are on the second story level of
    the store, is irrational beyond belief, to the point of flying
    off the handle in most unique and frightening ways.
14. The paranormal occurances continue to this day.  There
    are inumerable other stories that are not included in this
    investigation, which can be found in the Sunnyvale Public
    Library.

In hopes of meeting the ghost "Martin Murphy", a group of psychic
researchers, spent a long night in the store.

1.  During the night, a giant bean bag set well back on the shelf
    tumbled to the floor - seemingly of its own volition.
2.  Several balls belonging on the shelves on aisle 1O7 appeared on the
    floor of aisle 2O6.  Later that night a weighted ball was found in
    the center of a corridor and was put back on its shelf and
    barricaded in place by a box.  Within a hour the ball was back on
    the floor again - the box pushed to one side.
3.  Possibly the most startling thing to come out of the toy shop
    seance that was conducted was the weird light show of dancing
    blobs captured on film by Oakland photographer Bill Tidwell.

The star of the research team was Sylvia Brown, co-founder of the
Campbell based Nirvana Foundation (very near Sunnyvale), who
attempted to physically "tune in" to the store.  Sylvia Brown
claims that she is possessed by a spirit who goes by the name
"Francine", when she is delivering psychic readings.  Sylvia Brown
said and claims that the spirit is actually a one time farm worker,
named Yonny Johnson, who boarded with residents on the exact spot
of the present Toys 'R' Us store in the 18OO's.  Yonny (Yonni) was
apparently courting one of Martin Murphy's daughters, and planned to
ask Elizabeth Murphy to marry him.  However, Johnson later found out
that Elizabeth was engaged to another man.  Shortly afterward, Johnson
was found dead in the orchard (exactly where the Toys 'R' Us store
is now), with an axe wound to the neck.
