Haunted Dolls: Ghosts and Spirits that Haunt Us

I am one of those people that believe in the paranormal, and think that there are some things in this world that cannot be easily explained away with science. I started believing when I was only eight years old and saw a ghost. I was just sitting at the family kitchen table and a transparent looking male figure came into the room. We both exchanged glances for what seemed to be an eternity, and then he left the room. He had a paint palette in one hand and a brush in the other. Knowing first hand that ghosts do exist, I am interested in learning more about places and items that are claimed to be haunted.

Dolls seem to be a fairly common item to be haunted, and I do believe that ghosts or spirits seem to be attracted to them. When I was a little girl, I used to have a lot of dolls and I just loved to play with them. One day my mother brought a used doll home for me as a surprise. I noticed that she was different almost immediately. I could feel some kind of intense energy coming from her and it actually frightened me. No matter where she was in my bedroom it seemed as though she was watching me. Sometimes she would not be in the same position as I left her, and at times she would be in a different location altogether. I began having nightmares about her, and finally told my mother about it. Happily, we got rid of the doll on that very day, and everything went back to normal. As a child, I had no idea that haunted dolls even existed. Yet, when I read about haunted dolls as an adult it looks like my experience was pretty standard.
