What ‘Human Flesh’ Teddy Bears Mean If You See One In Idaho

A weird, new prank involving a line of morbid teddy bears sold on a popular website appears to be in its infancy and has gotten the attention of United States law enforcement.

Gross-Looking Teddy Bear Created by Artist Sends California Community Into Hysteria

I'll admit it. 'Human flesh teddy bear' are four words I've never spoken together until this week. An arrest was made Monday (July 14) after people in a Southern California community believed they had stumbled across the handy work of a twisted killer the likes of Ed Gein.

The 'Human Skin Teddy Bear' is not your average cuddly plushie. Instead, they feel like plastic and look like a normal teddy bear that fell into a meat grinder and then was stitched back together by Tim Burton. The disgusting looking bears retail for $170 but are currently sold out on Etsy.

People in San Bernardino, California, thought they were really seeing a teddy bear wrapped in human flesh earlier this week when cops were tipped off to one that was left on a sidewalk. One arrest has been made so far.
