Haunted Dolls: The Creep Factor


I was watching an episode of Destination Truth last night and they covered this haunted island full of super creepy dolls. I know I have talked about Robert, the Haunted Doll in the past, but this episode got me thinking about dolls and their penchant for getting all hauntified.

The island from Destination Truth was in Mexico, and the story went that a young girl had drowned there, and people began leaving dolls to comfort her. Of course, these dolls are now all battered and decapitated, leading to a spectacular vision of “Yikes.” The “Truth” team did experience some possible paranormal experiences there, including a doll opening her eye. Follow this link to watch the episode about the Haunted Isle of the Dolls.

Robert the Haunted Doll is a creepy tale of a man and his personal doll fixation, blending a traditional haunting with tales of voodoo, and is covered ad nauseam on the internet. Mandy, the haunted doll, however, may be a new story for you.

Mandy is a 100 year old doll that was donated to the Quesnel Museum in British Columbia. A typical tattered doll, the woman who donated her told the museum curator that she was often awoken at night to the sounds of a baby crying. She had no baby, and tracked the sound to the room the doll was in. The noise stopped once she got rid of the doll.

Museum staff have claimed that since the dolls arrival poltergeist type activity has occurred including objects being moved, as well as electronic disturbances, like people’s camera batteries draining. Some even claim that the doll moves and changes positions.

No reason for this dolls haunting has been discovered, so is it just the “old doll creepy factor” or is it the spirit of a past owner come to play with the living? Do you have a creepy haunted doll story? Share it here!

  3. i love this. i have heard of robert and seen robert the doll. i also heard his story. i love haunted dolls. i love hearing the stories. i wish i could own a real haunted doll but the ones i have seen online were fake and had no story. but as for mandy, i wonder perhaps the doll cries because the doll wants company or wants to be cradled. Just because a doll that moves is called haunted doll, it makes people and the doll feel like its scary and evil. but i some are and some arent. i think this one is not. this is just my opinion. i dont like them being in museums, it makes me feel sorry for them because strangers are starring and takeing picutres. think about it imagine you were the doll and placed in a exhibit and strangers you dont know take pictures of you and stare at you so close to you. would you feel uncomfortable? think about it. i love your work and i hope to see more of your work. also i was just wondering how these dolls began? i know perhapes voodoo but i feel its more than that.i am though not sure yet. i thank you again. if you wish to email me i am at santangeloanimallover@hotmail.com

  5. I just saw this episode. i loved the thought of something paranormal actually being able to reach out like that. i do believe that all dolls on the island have some sort of energy within them and that finding the dolls with the strongest enegry would be an amazing yet scary experience to any that explore it. Im someone that loves to learn about ghosts and how they work, why they're here. Not wanting anyone to doubt my power but i do have a small portion of the gift. I can sense and feel and almost see (trying to stregthen my power) ghosts, spirits. I wold like to understand the legend of the little girl and the man drowning in the lake by the dolls. If anyone has anything to say or has any kind of comment, please contact me at crocinus_kasih@hotmail.com

  6. I personally think that people are just paranoid because they see too much haunted creepy dolls on TV and in the movies. As far as I know, spirits have good intentions. And the only reason why they're "stuck" on Earth is that either they're here to help (like they're on a mission) or they need help to move on. Has the museum tried to ask help for psychics to figure out the reason for the doll's haunting?

  7. Creepy. To think that doll would be possessed by invisible entities is spine tingling. I didn't really liked dolls when I was kid, it gives me the creeps and I think this would affirm it.

  8. This past August I was able to see Mandy in the Quesnel Museum. I have never been so unnerved by a doll in all my life. I quickly took a picture with my phone then left. I felt anxious and scared when looking at the doll. I went in there a non believer thinking that it was all just hype but being there in person and seeing the doll I now believe.

  9. As I read in article While the validity of the existence of paranormal phenomena is controversial and debated passionately by both proponents of the paranormal and by skeptics, surveys are useful in determining the beliefs of people in regards to paranormal phenomena, so I believe in many extraordinarily forces that the science cannot explain
