But she has also has this teddy bear as well as a bear oven mitt both of which our sitting on top of our fireplace mantle on full display. There isn't inherently anything wrong with that......unless you've read the creepypasta 1999 that is. Both of those bear things look near identical to the evil Mr. Bear, the main antagonist of the story. Being the huge 1999 fanboy I am, it sometimes makes me wonder if the Mr. Bear show actually existed and the two things mom owns were actually intended to be merchandise promoting the series. If that is the case, then I hate to burst her bubble but mom unknowingly owns two pieces of merchandise based off the work of a devil worshipping serial killer in a bear suit who lures kids into his basement. I'm just saying! It's probably just a coincidence but the shocking resemblance to Mr. Bear that both of things items carry is nothing short of uncanny. It doesn't help that the teddy bear was actually a gift given to mom as a souvenire after a friend went to Canada trip. According to the story, Mr. Bear's Cellar was believe it or not, a Canadian local access show so that only makes the chances of this being a silly coincidence even more slim. Another thing that makes this whole situation weirder is that when I was a toddler, my mom would put on these "puppet shows" for me called The George Show where the characters were literally just both of her hands talking to each other while she sat under a table with a red striped cloth on it. Those who are familiar with 1999 will quickly realize the striking resemblance that concept has to Boobie, one of the other shows that allegedly aired on Caledon Local 21. But the similarities don't even end there, there was a recurring character on the "show" titled Mr. Scissors. He was a pair of plastic scissors of course rather than real ones like in the creepypasta, but this definitely sounds way too familiar know that I've read the story. I sometimes wonder if my mom had somehow stumbled upon the shows from Caledon Local and assumed they were just harmless fictional adult animations rather than disturbing kid shows created for nefarious purposes. Plus, guess which year I was born? 1999. Again, that makes me wonder even more if the story was actually inspired by true events that happened. I should probably ask mom about that some time.
