I have had this haunted doll that I don't even remember how I got it, but her name I guess is Penny, and her eyes will follow me when I walk into my room and I have nightmares with her being close to me at night. Sometimes, I hear a child's voice. What should I do?! Please respond..

For starters, I would seriously consider throwing the doll away.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!BUSYMOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I can't believe I'm back to being a junior member though.

Haunted dolls . . . hummm . . . brings back so many memories.

My sister bought a weird clown doll (it was actually a marionette) in Mexico when she went down there with some friends from church. She bought it not long after she and her friends started messing with a ouji board and before our dad found out about it. Anyway, I went into her room a couple of times when she was away and I SWEAR that doll's eyes followed me when I walked across the room. I got out of there quick! After the ouji board came to a quick demise thanks to our dad's axe, I noticed the doll disappeared not long after. When we became adults I asked her about that doll and she said she noticed some weird things about it, including: she would leave it in one position on her bed and depart the room to get a drink of water and two minutes later she would return and the doll was moved to a different position or the head would be turned a different way, etc. She said she burned it after about the third time it happened.

So, to make a long answer a little longer, I suggest you burn it, if possible.

Are Your Christmas Toys Haunted?

By Nick Redfern

DALLAS (TNA) As children, all of us had our favorite playthings: dolls, teddy bears, toy soldiers; the list goes on. But how many of us ever suspected that those same toys might have been haunted?

According to paranormal expert Gina Lanier, a surprising number of American toys have ghostly connections. Indeed, she estimates that no less than three percent of all teddy bears in the country may be haunted by spirits of the dead.
This allegedly haunted doll reportedly brings bad luck to its owners.

Lanier, who lives in New Orleans, is a lead investigator for the website HauntedAmericaTours.com and knows this firsthand.

I have a teddy bear, one that the original owners dont want back, who sits on a shelf in my house, she said. And no matter where I position him, I always find him later looking out of the window.

She speculates that the child who owned him long ago used to like playing outside, and now that persons energy is in the teddy bear and making him want to be outside.

But Laniers teddy bear isnt the only haunted toy in New Orleans. She says the Big Easy is a big place for other ghostly toys.

A lady here in the city has a doll that she likes to dress up, but when she puts a certain hat on the doll, it always throws it off, Lanier said. For whatever reason, it doesnt seem to like it. These are not like a poltergeist that comes in at random and picks a person.

So far, Lanier hasnt found any cases where the toys have been haunted by anything other than the original owner. Dolls are passed down from generation to generation, and so its the beat up ones with the chewed up noses and a lot of history that tend to be haunted. She says lots of times, but not always, there is a tragic event involved.

Without doubt, the most famous story of a ghostly toy is that of Robert, the haunted doll of Key West, Fla.

Robert was the lifelong companion of a local painter named Robert Eugene Otto, whose nanny had given him the doll as a child in 1896. Initially, all was normal and young Gene (as Otto was known) played blissfully and contentedly with his new friend.

Over time, however, the doll began to take on sly and even malevolent characteristics.

Objects would be found broken in the dolls presence, the pitter-pattering of tiny feet could be heard around the family home, and there was even talk of the family finding Gene cowering in the corner of his bedroom while Robert the doll sat towering over him in a high chair with an evil stare in his eye.

Even in adulthood, Gene was never free of the demon doll. After inheriting the family home upon the death of his parents and marrying a local socialite, Gene continued to hold on to Robert, keeping him stored in the attic.

To her horror, Mrs. Otto would begin to hear Roberts small doll feet walking around the house, and she even heard the sound of sinister singing emanating from the attic.

When Gene died in 1972, it was widely believed by the locals that Robert would die too. That was not the case, however.

After Gene passed away, the old house stood empty for some time. As a result the grounds of the large home quickly became a play area for the local children. That is, until the dolls face was seen at the attic window peering menacingly down at them.

Finally, after the house was sold, the new owners donated Robert to the nearby East Martello Museum, where he still resides to this day. Not surprisingly, rumors that Robert restlessly wanders the museum by night continue to circulate.

Full-time author and investigator of the unknown Joshua P. Warren has crossed paths with haunted dolls, too. He even owns one a cursed doll given to him by a friend.

The demonic doll is made of hard resin, has long stringy hair, and is hunched over like a witch. It also has one bright, prominent eye, while the other was squinted shut.

The doll was supposedly the cause of a lot of bad luck, such as financial problems, car accidents and ill health to its owners. Now it sits in Warrens paranormal museum in Asheville, N.C., where it seems happy with its new digs.

I havent had any problems with it; at least, not yet, Warren said.

Kenneth Mayence, a writer and researcher of the paranormal, has also studied a wealth of incidents suggesting that specters are often attracted to childrens toys.

One case he investigated involved a haunted rocking horse that would rock on its own for no reason.

The horse had originally belonged to a little boy in another family who would constantly rock on it until one day, about five years ago, when the boy fell off and got jammed between the wall and the rocking horse.

Mayence says the boy broke his neck and died. The boys family gave the horse to another family and they called Mayence in when strange things began to occur.

They told me how you could put the horse in the center of a room and nothing would happen, Mayence said. If you put it near to a wall, it would start rocking; slowly at first. But over an hour it would start rocking more furiously. This may be due to residual thoughts: The last dying thoughts of the boy were of rocking on the horse, so his spirit stayed associated with it.

There was nothing malicious about the haunting, but it was enough to unnerve the family who asked me to investigate it.

Mayence had another X-Files-type experience involving a young boy around 10 years old who liked to play with toy soldiers.

The kid suffered from leukemia and eventually was put into the hospital, and Mayence says his toys were brought in so that he could play with them.

He ended up dying and the mother buried his favorite two toy soldiers with him, Mayence said. But they apparently came back and appeared several times to the mother: in her car, and on her nightstand. I would have to say that this was a case of the ghost of the child moving them.

Electronic toys can also apparently attract the dead, says Mayence, who once investigated a case involving a guy who was a fanatic of the 1960s science fiction TV series Lost in Space.

He owned an original, remote-controlled toy robot like the one in the show, Mayence said. After he died, his wife told me how the robot would suddenly turn itself on and move around the room. She would turn it off and it would turn itself back on again.

This robotic haunting went on regularly for at least 10 months after he passed away, then began to decrease, and finally stopped after about two years.

I have found that usually its a case of the toys being haunted by someone else, rather than the toys themselves actually being haunted, Mayence said. I suspect that after someone dies, it may be a strong memory, or a strong connection that they had with the toy, that survives and causes these effects to happen.

Amateur ghost-hunter Bob Shaw offers a cautionary note to anyone who suspects they may be in possession of a haunted toy.

Most haunted toys cause no harm other than spooking people by moving around, moving objects or making noises, but a few are without a doubt malevolent, like Robert [the haunted doll], Shaw said. If you have a haunted toy Id suggest you get rid of it. Haunted toys might sound like fun and a bit of excitement, but sometimes they can be a nightmare.

Wow Sodie this is really interesting. Thank you for sharing it with us. I am happy to say that I have never had a haunted toy. Might leave one or two behind..lol.. but never had one.

Haunted dolls huh? listen to this one. My wife has a bunch of native american dolls that she collects and she used to keep them in our room we had one doll sitting on the stereo speaker facing our bed. well one day we had went to the store,we got home and we noticed one small detail,the doll was no longer facing our bed. It was facing the closet door which I Had shut before we left to go to the store. Heres the thing No one else was home and the house was locked up like fort knox!And as far as paranormal exp goes thats just the tip of the iceberg!

I know it sounds crazy, but I have always wanted one ever since I became interested in the supernatural and I want to experience what's it's like to be in the presence of one. Kind of a life long dream I guess you could say. Weird I know. :\

When I was little I had a porcelain doll collection and I enjoyed playing with them a lot. Then I got this ballerina doll for a present, and ever since I recieved her I felt like all of them were watching me. I eventually put them in my closet, and now they are in a box in the garage.
I think haunted toys may be fun when your an adult, but when your a child it can be pretty frightening!

I guess to each their own, but I think that might be asking for trouble. If you get one, be careful. I'm not sure if a haunted doll can actually harm anyone, but they sure give me the creeps.

I think haunted dolls give me the creeps.

My parents use to live in an old orphanage, once home to hundreds of children and even abortions were performed there. Each night in order to use the bathroom my dad had to go downstairs in the basement.. There were a lot of dolls sitting on the shelves all you could see was there eyes glowing in pitch dark. Everywhere my dad went there eyes followed...He heard children's noises like crying and giggling. He said it was the creepiest thing ever. (he seen ghost, and red burning orbs before) my mom went downstairs to use the bathroom and she heard a children's giggle. The noise came from the dolls and there eyes were staring at her.. Sometimes she would have to hold out on goin to the bathroom, because she was scared to go downstairs. later during daylight my dad went downstairs and put all of the dolls in a trash bag then thew it out. He said those dolls were possess.

I believe in haunted dolls...There is a website where you can watch for paranormal activity surrounding 4 dolls. http://ghostwalklive.com/dollcam.html It is really interesting

Isn't it the same thing as pictures or portraits? When you walk past it the pictures eye's will look like it is following you. That is a bit creepy though. i would put it in the attic or in a box away from the house. I am a skeptic and I have yet to see a ghost or any type of orb but I am interested in paranormal things. I want to see a ghost but not in my home!

Hi victorialovesyou
Just by you wanting to see a ghost, that alone will attract them to you. Unfortunately you never know if some might follow you home.
I use to think spirits or ghosts were only seen or felt in old buildings or old homes, that was the farthest from the truth. I had purchased a two story home that sat empty for one year it was only four years old. My family moved in and everything was great untill my daughter became very ill with stomach problems. It seemed at that time strange things started happening in our house. Furniture was being placed on an angle, chairs, coffee table. Footsteps on the stairs and landing day and night these and more unexplainable things would occur. We lived a total of 12 years there before selling the house. I was told by psychics that the open staircase was a portal where spirits could come and go.

I recently bought an old doll on ebay that was in need of TLC. She was dirty and needing desperate repair. After cleaning her up and repair work was done, I displayed her in my glass bookcase. I swear there are times when I pass by her that she is smiling as though she is happy. Maybe its just my imagination after working so hard on restoring her back to her beauty.
