Spooky teddy bear who visited Derbyshire castle attracts global attention

Popular Canadian Youtube sensation, Jessie Vee, who looks at paranormal activities and spooky things around the world has recently discovered about Mr Ted, prompting a surge of interest from her followers.

The spooky toy first rose to fame in 2017 when he was taken to the historic Bolsover Castle - known to be one of the country's most haunted castles - where three volunteers agreed to sleep in the same room with the bear for a television show.

During the experiment, a features producer came down with a mystery illness and was rushed to the hospital after spending the night with Mr Ted.

The teddy bear originally belonged to a psychic medium, Debbie Davis, who allowed ITV's This Morning to investigate whether the toy was indeed haunted or not.

She reportedly said the toy animal was known to growl through the night besides causing headaches and nausea.

In fact, Debbie buried the toy 30 miles from her house in Manchester in order to ward off any evil spirits and prevent spooky activities at her home.

But Jessie seemed to get some of her facts mixed up when she said the teddy bear was still located in the castle when in fact, it was only taken there for a filming.

She also said that the teddy is being locked up in a glass case and wrapped in chains.

Her video, which was posted on her Tik Tok account, has so far garnered more than 3 million likes.
