Everyone knows that Elmo dolls are always a popular gift on Christmas, but in 2008, the Bowman family got more than just a laughing Elmo. Two-year-old James Bowman received an Elmo Knows Your Name doll, which had been programmed to recite the childs name. Everything seemed fine until its batteries had to be changed. After the battery exchange, Elmo started repeating Kill James, and asking Who wants to die? Once the boy started to repeat the phrases, his mother took the toy away. Its not know if it was a prank or something more sinister.
