When I was a child in the 80s, I collected porcelain dolls AND BOUGHT THEM NEW FROM THE STORE and never previously owned/antique stores, etc. Back then, haunted dolls weren't even talked about & I sure never thought about it back then. Heck no would I buy anything that is known to be haunted! I'll never buy anything known to be previously owned anyway & I hate antiques.

i remember haunted dolls being talked about in the 80's, second half of it anyway with movies like 'Dolls' and 'Child's Play', it became popular refrence material. Everyone was talking about Chucky!

'Hate antiques'....that amusing and bewildering at the same time.

I used to buy a lot of art off ebay. there was a seller on there years ago who had a crazy disabled brother who lived in a cabin behind his home. I guess he was too nuts to live in the house with the rest of the family. His brother heard voices, paced and could not coexists with society. He stayed locked up in this cabin 24/7 drawing art. His drawings were amazing, creative beyond belief and extraordinarily demonic in nature. He would break into sweats drawing them and often convulse. The story prompted on ebay was he had direct communication with demons and with some drawings even the devil.

This seller sold 10-15 drawings a week for no less then $300 each to his cult like followers. I never bought one, but followed the auctions for years and it was quite interesting.

Interesting,, thanks for sharing that. I've always been interested in the story of that doll.

A lot of people don't know this but The Chucky movies were actually based off of Robert the Doll.

I remember I went to see Robert the Doll at the museum myself and couldn't bring myself to look at him straight in the eyes... I was scared he was going to start doing evil things to me.

I'll stick to buying "weapons" that supposedly have some "paranormal activity" attached to them recently or in the past. Dolls might be "cute" but I would prefer having a sidearm supposedly carried by "Stonewall Jackson", and wearing when he was mortally wounded, if some uninvited character decides to make a late night visit. Doubt a doll aiming a "doll" at him/her would would have the same effect as a gun. Hell, now how would they know it wasn't loaded nor ever will be. I rest my case.
