While we usually think of toys as fun things to play with, sometimes they can be a bit creepy. Just think of dolls—their vacant stares and uncanny smiles can feel eerie, making us wonder if there’s a spirit trapped behind those beaded eyes.
Whether dolls can truly be haunted is up for debate, but there’s an entire community on Facebook dedicated to sharing them. From stiff porcelain figures to beat-up rag dolls, this group has it all. We’ve combed through their collection (at a safe distance, of course) and picked out the most chilling ones we could find. If you’re brave enough to take a look, keep reading!

Kevin Cain, a paranormal investigator in Alabama, thinks that just because a doll is haunted doesn’t necessarily mean it’s evil. He suggests that there are good spirits out there, too. “If a ghost can haunt a house, building, or ship, why can’t it linger around an item it once owned or that reminds them of something from their past?” Cain theorizes that spirits may be drawn to dolls and other toys because of their familiarity and a strong emotional connection.

Cain has a collection of hundreds of haunted dolls, but warns those who’d like to own one. “I tell them it’s not for everybody. You don’t know what you’re getting into,” he says. “These dolls aren’t for entertainment or amusement. They are genuine haunted items with attached spirits that deserve respect.”

So whether or not you believe haunted dolls are real, people’s fascination with them is sure to continue.So if you ever want to see more of them—you know where to look.
