The famous Toys R Us ghost picture shows a young man leaning on shelves in the background during a séance. The ghost photograph was taken with an Infrared camera. To the surprise of the photographer and others, the ghost did not show up in other pictures of the same area taken at the same moment with high speed film. Only the Infrared film captured the male figure ghost photo!

The story about the haunting made its way onto a television show in 1978 called, That's Incredible. Famed medium Sylvia Brown joined hosts Fran Tarkenton, John Davidson and Kathy Lee Crosby to investigate the store and conduct the seance while being photographed by professional photographers. According to employees at the time of the Sunnyvale, California Toys 'R' Us store, the ghost haunted the aisles and was known to toss toys from shelves, create cold spots, and make his presence known in other ways. He was often felt like a breeze behind workers and patrons. The ghost was believed to be that of a man from the 1880s with the last name of Johnson or Johnston, a ranch hand and preacher who farmed where the store sits today. The young man, while in his twenties or early thirties, bled to death. Does the man still haunt the Toys R Us store? You decide...
