(eerie instrumental music) - Dolls are often something
that we associate with children, something for them
to play with and pass the time, but sometimes
the dolls play back. (television static)
Here are 10 real life haunted dolls you don't
want to play with.
(television static)
(eerie instrumental music) Number 10 is Mandy.
(television static)
Made in Germany between 1910 and 1920 Mandy
is an antique doll that resembles a baby with old clothing,
a torn body, and a cracked head.
Now, she would be just another creepy looking children's toy
if she didn't throw temper tantrums all by herself.
After her owner started experiencing strange occurrences,
such as the sound of a baby crying coming from
an empty basement,
Mandy was given to the Quesnel Museum in Quesnel,
British Columbia, Canada.
Soon after receiving her in 1991 the museum staff
began experiencing strange events on their own.
They found that when Mandy was left overnight in a room
they would find the room a mess the next day,
with papers and other loose items strewn about.
She was apparently responsible for stealing staff lunches
and hiding them in other mischievous things
and could never be left alone with another doll
or she'd tear it apart.
Just one of many reasons you wouldn't wanna be alone
with Mandy.
(television static) Number nine is Okiku.
(thudding of heartbeat)
Almost 100 years ago
in 1918 17 year old Ikichi Suzuki was walking along
Tenukikoji, a famous shopping street in Saporo, Japan,
when he spotted the perfect souvenir gift for
his two year old sister Okiku.
That gift was a 40 centimeter tall kimono-wearing
Japanese doll with short cropped hair
that resembled the young girl.
Okiku loved the doll, playing with it everyday
and even took it with her everywhere she went,
but sadly, she didn't have long to play with it
and passed away due to illness less than a year later.
The Suzuki family prayed to the doll in an effort
to remember Okiku, even giving the doll the girl's name.
However, it wasn't long before they realize
something was odd.
Over time the short black hair the figure originally had
had grown all the way to the doll's knees.
It was revealed that, though not malicious,
the spirit of the young girl somehow possessed the doll
and still does today.
The ever-growing hair has even been tested
and confirmed by scientists to be real human hair.
(television static) Number eight
is The Hands Resist Him.
You would think this doll would be rather difficult
to play with considering its seemingly
just a painting of one.
However, according to witness accounts
and legends surrounding it that 2-D doll
could be playing with you.
Painted in 1972 by artist Bill Stoneham,
The Hands Resist Him shows two figures
standing in front of a glass door,
a young boy and an almost life-size doll.
Behind them on the other side of the glass
several hands appear to be waving, knocking,
or tapping on the pane.
Though Stoneham explained that this was based
on a more positive memory with the glass being
the barrier between waking and dreaming
those who have owned it have another theory.
Some owners have seen the figures in different positions,
even finding the painting empty, while they felt a presence
in the room watching them.
There have even been claims that the doll often
holds a gun and forces the boy from the painting
so he can scare the living.

Number seven is Joliet.
(eerie instrumental music)
Currently owned by a woman simply known as Anna G
this sinister doll is not just haunted, but cursed.
Originally given as a baby gift to Anna's great-grandmother
by a family friend, Joliet contains the souls of, not one,
but four infant boys.
As the story goes each female in the family line
gave birth to two children, a boy and a girl,
but the boy dies after only three days,
his soul absorbed by the evil doll.
At night the doll cries out as if it's a baby itself,
emulating all of the souls within it
and terrifying those who see it.
Truly a horrible curse on the family,
this doll has been passed down from mother to daughter
for four generations with no end in sight.
When asked why they don't simply rid themselves of Joliet,
their reasoning is truly sad.
Each mother appears certain that if anything bad
should happen to the 100 year old doll
their dead son's soul will be damaged as well.
Thus, this twisted doll will continue to take young lives
in infamy forever.
(television static) Number six
is the zombie voodoo doll.
(eerie instrumental music)
Officially known as the Galveston, Texas Zombie Doll,
this haunted voodoo doll has been known to actually
physically attack its owners.
In October of 2004 an unidentified woman from
Galveston, Texas purchased this grotesque doll
from its previous owner in New Orleans.
The handcrafted figure arrived in a metal box,
which was referred to as a coffin.
Thinking nothing of the confinement the woman
took it out and put it on display
only to have the zombie doll attack her at night.
After sealing it back in the box the ghost in the doll
continued to attack her in her nightmares,
so she tried to destroy it only to find that it
wouldn't burn and cutting into it literally broke
her scissors.
Finally, after selling the doll on Ebay,
she was alarmed when the buyer informed her
the shipping box was empty.
She found the doll the next day covered in dirt
laying on her front porch.
(television static) Number five is Sarita.
(eerie instrumental music)
While some dolls appear evil simply by their expressions
and age, others can apparently look like a cute,
charming children's toy while actually possessing
the malicious spirit of something far less adorable.
Such is the case of Sarita, a blue-eyed, blond-haired doll
that was given to Yvonne Nunez of El Callao, Peru,
and her family, by Yvonne's late niece in 2010.
While the doll seems cute and harmless it's earned itself
the title of the Peruvian Annabelle
by those who have witnessed the paranormal events
surrounding it.
The entire family has seen strange lights
and heard bizarre noises in the home ever since
Sarita arrived and they often find the doll
in different places from where they left her.
The toy is most certainly malicious,
as Yvonne has found scratches on her children
after they've slept in the same room Sarita was in.
The children also claim that the doll watches them sleep
and will even chant or knock on walls
to wake them on occasion. (soft knocking)
(television static) Number four is Ledda.
(eerie instrumental music)
Keri Warren was in his early '20s when he reluctantly
returned to his hometown of Wagga Wagga
in New South Wales, Australia in the early 1970s.
Collecting his courage Warren visited the abandoned
haunted house that he grew up near,
but instead of ghosts he found something else.
Ledda.
This haunted, sinister looking marionette doll
is an Eastern European puppet
and has been dated by a museum to be around 250 years old
and is said to contain the spirit of six year old boy
who drowned in the late 1700s.
Multiple people have reported breaking down
into crying hysterics or screamed uncontrollably
when Ledda was close by, even when he's in another room.
Once, while on a paranormal show Ledda moved
all by himself, scaring viewers and sending a cameraman
running out of the room.
Warren is supernaturally unable to part with the doll
and unfortunately still owns it today.
(television static) Number three is Harold.
(eerie instrumental music)
In 2004, author Anthony Quinata was searching
for inspiration for a new book that he was writing
when he came across an ad online for Harold,
a creepy doll from the 1930s whose owner claimed
it was haunted.
After purchasing the toy Anthony was alarmed
to find that Harold wasn't just haunted.
He was cursed and possessed by a powerful demon.
The doll began making people who saw it sick,
even through the Internet,
as people who simply laid eyes on some of the photos
Anthony posted reported having severe headaches
or becoming incredibly dizzy and confused.
Some even woke up after having nightmares
only to feel Harold's presence in their room watching them.
Psychics were ultimately called in and claimed
multiple spirits were attached to the doll.
One of them being a man named Harold,
from whom the toy got its name.
Another, a woman who was mentally unstable
and a demon who announced he'd danced with the devil.
(television static) Number two is Robert the doll.
(eerie instrumental music)
Given to painter and author Robert Eugene Gene Otto
in 1906 when he was only six years old this terrifying toy
already looks creepy enough,
but apparently sounds even creepier.
That's right.
According to Gene's parents the young boy would often
be heard whispering and even giggling with someone
when the only ones in the room were him
and the doll, Robert.
According to Gene's parents the young boy would often
be heard whispering and giggling with someone
when the only ones in the room
were him and the doll, Robert.
Even after they locked the toy in the attic things
in the house would be broken only to have a trembling Gene
claim Robert did it.
When the family was at church or otherwise not home
neighbors would often see a small figure moving inside
and peeking through the windows.
Like many of the dark and twisted toys that have haunted
their owners in the past, Robert can be seen at a museum,
but if you visit be warned that this doll doesn't like
having its picture taken without its permission, seriously.
(television static) And number one is Annabelle.
(eerie instrumental music)
Released on October third, 2014, Annabelle is a sequel
in The Conjuring horror film series,
and although the movie is a work of fiction
it may surprise you to learn that the toy is actually based
on a real doll that tormented a pair of
nursing students in 1970.
Purchased by one of the girl's mothers from a thrift store,
Annabelle was actually a Raggedy Ann doll
and potentially the worst gift
the young woman ever received.
Almost immediately after it entered their home,
both the woman and her roommate began
finding the doll in bizarre places,
though, neither of them ever moved it.
It even attacked a male friend of theirs
scratching him viciously.
The pair brought in paranormal investigators,
Ed and Lorraine Warren, who discovered the doll
had been taken over by a demon bent on stealing
the owner's soul.
The girls gave Annabelle to the Warrens,
who locked her in a box and you can visit her at the museum
today if you have the guts.
(television static) That's all for this episode.
I hope you guys enjoyed it.
