Shoppers at a Spirit Halloween store in Plano, Texas, got an unexpected fright when a monkey in a diaper broke free from its owner and ran wild through the aisles on Monday night. The chaos began when the pet primate was apparently spooked by one of the store’s moving Halloween animatronic displays, sending it leaping onto shelves and swinging from the rafters for nearly 30 minutes. Videos shared online show the monkey scaling pillars and darting across decorations as stunned customers watched in disbelief. “It was like animal kingdom live,” said shopper Arlene Pinkston, who filmed the incident. “My daughter looked up and said, ‘Is that a real monkey?’ and I said, ‘Well, it’s got a diaper on, so I guess it is!’” Employees and kids tried to catch the mischievous animal as police arrived. The chase finally ended when the monkey’s owner managed to coax it down - with a cookie.
