Battery-powered kids' toys that go off by themselves in the middle of the night

It’s 3:00 AM, the house is dead quiet, and suddenly a battery-powered toy truck or talking doll starts singing from deep inside a dark closet. You pull the toy out, take the batteries completely out of the plastic casing, and twenty minutes later it makes noise again.
People love blaming dying capacitors or sticky circuit switches, but it still makes your blood run cold when it wakes you up out of a dead sleep. What’s the creepiest thing in your house that ever turned on by itself?
