"Warning to all parents with children that have any electronics devices," the Facebook post says in all caps. What appears to be a screenshot of a Facebook post was shared on the social media platform on May 7 encouraging parents to "take no chances." So we wondered when we saw a warning about another Internet-based threat. Except it was a hoax - the "Momo challenge" isn’t real. When the girl used the app again a few days later, it remembered that she had a brother.Remember the "Momo challenge"? It stemmed from an unsettling ghoul-like figure known as "Momo" that reportedly appeared online and encouraged unsuspecting children to hurt themselves. When a police officer came to interview the little girl, she told him that she had been using the app with her cousin and Angela asked both girls their names and her brothers name was what school they went to. They called her back an hour later and said, “Something is behind that cat!!!” She was so freaked out that she called the police department and they said they would have their internet investigations unit look into it. The mother said she had heard enough and yelled at her daughter to shut off the app. The mother overheard the conversation and said the cat knew her daughter’s name and asked strange, personal questions. One woman claimed that her daughter stayed home from school and was on her iPod playing with Talking Angela. Some Spanish-language websites claim that a young boy named Eli Morenos, who lived in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, disappeared shortly after his mother downloaded the Talking Angela app. The cat said, Take your goddamn hand off my eye, I can’t see!¨ The boy closed down the app, but later he heard a clicking sound coming from the phone as if it was taking photos of him. In another case, a child was talking to the cat and happened to place his finger over one of Angela’s eyes. Then, as if it could see the expression on the girl’s face, it said, “I know you’re about to delete me. You’re about 11 or 12.” The girl was shocked and stunned. She was horrified when the cat responded, “That’s a lie. Angela asked her age and the girl decided to lie and say she was 30 years old. In one of the more sinister cases, a young girl was talking to Angela and got the scare of her life. Even if you close down the app, it keeps running in the background so he can watch you and take pictures. Sometimes there is just an empty room, but sometimes you can see a creepy guy watching you. The altered app is able to take photos and record video of you through the phone’s camera and if you zoom in and look carefully at the cat’s eyes, you can actually see him. They warn that if you say you are over 18, nothing happens, but if you’re younger, the cat starts asking weird things, like where do you live, what are your parents’ names, what is your phone number, etc. He has managed to hack into the app and uses it to gain access to personal information on people’s phones. Angela is a white cat with blue eyes who has a conversation with you and can answer your questions.Įmails and Facebook posts began to circulate warning people not to use Talking Angela saying the app had been taken over by a someone who uses it to spy on children and possibly kidnap them. Talking Angela started as a mobile phone application for children. Talking Angela is a scary urban legend about a mobile phone app that allows creepy hackers to interact with kids and take pictures of them.
