It’s National Toast Day, so fire up the haunted toaster! The last Thursday in February is a day to celebrate toast, for some reason. So we’re dusting off this gem of an interview from 1984, featuring a one-of-a-kind haunted toaster! The unassuming appliance allegedly terrorized its owner by speaking satanic messages and burning her bread to a crisp. What could possess a toaster to commit such evil deeds? Well, the Devil, apparently. And nothing thaws a frozen waffle quite like scorching hellfire.

The following written confession was shared via Reader’s Digest from Reddit contributor Zerbo: The ambulance company that I used to work for had a “haunted” ambulance: rig 12.
