If you think a Toy Storyesque escape can only happen in the movies, think again! Recently the owner of the Penny Lane bar in Nottingham believes that a creepy "Toy Story" moment occurred when a plush doll made a daring escape from a crane machine at the bar.

The bizarre footage was caught on CCTV Tuesday afternoon after the bar staff of Penny Lane, in Fletcher Gate, came across a bunch of game prizes scattered on the floor. The short clip starts to show the plush flamingo toy dropping out of the machine and walking across the dance floor. Confused, they reviewed the CCTV to find paranormal activity.

In a scene straight out of the Toy Story franchise, teddies have been caught escaping from an arcade crane machine in a Nottingham bar... apparently.

In a report by Nottinghamshire Live, the bar's general manager, Tomas Vanek, said that what happened was "so spooky, like a real-life Toy Story moment... the flamingos wanted to go on an adventure."

The whole thing could be a marketing gimmick to bring customers to the bar or could have been a real paranormal activity. Meanwhile, another Nottingham bar has also claimed to have experienced "paranormal activity."

CCTV footage from the Pryzm nightclub revealed a fridge that opened by itself while four bottles literally "flew" out of with reckless abandon, bouncing on the floor several times.

It's almost Halloween, and the spirits seem to be restless these days.
