00:00This children's pizza place was hiding something far worse than moldy arcades.
00:04Back in 1992, in a sleepy Ohio suburb, a family-run pizzeria suddenly reopened
00:10after years of being closed. Locals were thrilled, but something wasn't right.
00:16The new star attraction wasn't the pizza. It was a towering animatronic bear named Benny.
00:22His fur was patchy, his eyes clicked when they moved, and his smile never shut off.
00:27No one ever saw the staff fix him, but every night Benny was back on stage.
00:32They said the games were better, the prizes too. But then, children started vanishing.
00:38A little girl disappeared inside the tunnel slide. A delivery driver never came home
00:42after dropping off supplies. Police called it bad luck. Until one night, a worker unlocked a
00:50maintenance hatch behind the arcade cabinets. A staircase led down. What they found in the
00:55basement froze the officers in place. Stacks of shredded costumes, shelves lined with glass jars,
01:01each holding tiny toys and teeth. In the corner, a mechanical frame of Benny without its fur,
01:08still twitching, as if waiting to be worn. Benny was never dismantled. The pizzeria was boarded up.
01:16And even now, neighbors swear they hear faint music at night, like a bear singing in the dark.
