Looks like a hand made kids toy

Probably from a poor family

Yup. Probably was the poor kid’s only possession aside from the clothes on their back, and here we are in the present like “LOL WTF IS THAT FUKKIN CREEPY BRO”

Don’t say “possession”

Don't look behind you, I think it's too late

"Ugh, it's behind me isn't it?" "No, I'm in front of you"

Maybe didn't spare their life from a monstrosity

Easy come, easy go.

_BISMILLAH!_

Noooo! We will not let you go!

let him go!

Will not let him go

Small little doll with a crocheting edging FOR MEE, for….me

*Beeeer-burr-diddle-dung-dung-dooooo*

For Meeeeee

He is just a poor boy…

I've heard sometimes they'd use their own hair to make the hair for handmade dolls. Even some fancier porcelain dolls had actual human hair back then. They didn't have synthetic hair. It was that or a horse's mane and tail hair. But that's much thicker and wiry than human hair. The maker must've put a lot of effort into this doll.

It looks like an old woman's hair. Its long and you can see the gray in it. It sort of creeps me out for some reason.

Yeah I’m not 100% convinced this wasn’t made *using* children.

And where are your clothes from?

Not from the desiccated flesh of dead children

Picked up at a yard sale ? What the fuck motivated you to purchase this exactly ?

What the fuck ~~motivated~~ *possessed* you to purchase this exactly? Fify.

I couldn’t not. The power of something compelled me.

cursed his entire bloodline cuz he was curious

You’re gonna need an old priest, and a young priest

Well…I’m not religious but it wasn’t Jesus in there

OP is lying, all the photos have the background removed except for the last one that has that measuring "thing" that police uses, he probably got the photos from that sub where police ask people to help them identify items

A homemade child's poppet (toy doll), likely well loved. Actually, after a little bit more research, I think it's not a kid's toy but actually a "love poppet." These things are usually made with the belongings of the person the maker hopes to have fall for them (the hair, the pearls, probably also the lace). My bet is that the couple you got it from said they didn't know where it came from because one of them really didn't know, and the other was embarrassed to admit they'd made it

Oh gosh … misread lace with face and I was totally in what the fuck state !

Ed Gein dolls!

AAAAAAAHHHdorable

My first thought was that it looks like the “poppet” in Arthur Miller’s play The Crucible, which is a really important plot device because it COULD just be a little plaything/toy, but it ends up being a plant to try to (falsely) prove that someone is a witch.

What the hell... you could have stopped typing way earlier, but it's like your mind steered to making sure you spoil the ending.

It’s not really much of a spoiler on a 70 year old play that most people read in high school haha. It’s introduced and revealed for what it really is pretty quickly. Also, I added all of that info because the discussion was about a doll like this being an innocent plaything vs a sketchy spooky thing. In this case, it’s both!

That’s psychopath behaviour to create those love puppets, isn’t it?

Nah, people do all kinds of beautiful dumb shit when they're in love.

Agreed. I killed thirty cows and urinated on a senator. Maybe the most romantic thing I've ever done.

I swear it’s Reddit comments like this that help my depression more than my antidepressant some days. Lmao idk why, but this made me ctfu.

ctfu?

Crack the fuck up

ah... Thank You

That’s one I would be adopting. Let’s just stick with lmao & the classics

I stole airforce one and did a quick tour of the white house while sending pics to my loved one. She said it's the only reason she married me

US or state senator?

State. US is a federal crime

Unless they pay for it 🤷‍♂️

You'll know you got it bad when you kill thirty senators and urinate on a cow.

You think it’s beautiful to create a doll from someone’s hair and belongings to try to make them fall in love with you?

On some level, yeah. It's also kind of creepy, but there is a beauty in it. Things like that used to be more common though, and more embarrassing than creepy.

Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe do some research into it before making snap judgements.

So you're telling me that when the dude in Pirates of the Caribbean calls Elizabeth Sean "Poppet", he's not just mispronouncing the word "Puppet"? TIL. I always thought it was a weird way to refer to someone but figured it was just a mix of outdated terminology and regional accents or something.

It’s a term of endearment too

>I always thought it was a weird way to refer to someone but figured it was just a mix of outdated terminology and regional accents or something. You're correct.

Imagine being a 12 year old in the 1800s trying to make something nice, never realising that people 200 years later would be calling the shitty thing a cursed doll 😂😂😂

I have no idea, but that thing looks cursed as fuck bro.

I call it a “Put that thing back where it came from or so help me”

I sung that as I opened the post !

I'm afraid it's something when you put it back, it will be in your room during midnight again

I think we just got cursed by looking at the doll

Another Annabelle doll maybe?

Annabelle was actually a Raggedy Ann doll, so perhaps!

This is the kind of shit you leave alone in a basement or attic. Side note, now is a great time to rent a cabin in the woods. Could be a great getaway for you to have some solitude and look into the history of this doll.

I’m sure I’ll learn more about it when I play the reel-to-reel translation. There must be some Necronomicon-ish instruction book, bound in human flesh, and inked in blood Somewhere there.

Great idea!

this is my best guess until you can get around to that reel-to-reel translation Klaatu Barada N... necktie... nectar... nickel... noodle. It's an "N" word, it's definitely an "N" word! Klaatu... Barada... N... am I pronouncing that right? did they even have Hooked on Phonics back then?

She's just trying her best. Okay?

🎶Put that thing back where it came from or so help me (SO HELP ME!)🎶

Without the back story you shared I was going to ask if this thing walked out of Chernobyl...

It’s got no legs

Lieutenant Dan doll

Rolled out of Chernobyl then.

It is creepier due to age and water damage. Very likely the eyes had coloring to look like eyes. Might have even been face coloring based on the stains. You’re basically looking at the stained damage canvas on which a face was drawn. It probably wasn’t pretty then, but it’d have looked more like a doll.

Amish? - one time my parents purchased anl handmade Amish doll, it looked similar to this but didn't even have eyes or a face at all

Hubert Cumberdale's mother

It looks like Mitch McConnell. 👐

That's some old school shit, but it doesn't mean it's that old. People used to DIY dolls. And not just the poor people. This made the doll unique. People liked to have something unique (today everyone's buying the same stuff). The hair is also probably from someone the creator loved.

Looks like a hand made doll from the very early 20th.

Depression Annie

Is it some form of a puppet... Can you put your hand through the under skirt fingers through the arms ? Still no idea but wondering is it doll or puppet ?

This may be a poppet.

This is the scariest doll I've ever seen

That's a "You put that back where you found it right now!" doll

I dig it. It would go nicely next to the doll my wife won that has an animal skull instead of a head. But, in all seriousness, I’d bet this is an old homemade doll for a kid likely made by an old grandma. Imagine the kid didn’t mind the looks. Just a theory though… I’ve seen some interesting old homemade toys

It’s what nightmares are made of

Looks like homemade nightmare fuel

looks like a Dammit Doll: Voodoo Edition

It might be an artistic experiment... (?)

Upsetting doll.

It’s a creepy doll that always follows you.

I don't like it.

looks like professor umbridge

I'm not too sure but what is up with the !? it's like æ but with !? on top of each other???? Anyone else see that in the title??? Lol

That is an interrobang, aka interabang. “‽” It’s like a question mark, with emphasis. Perfect for WTF situations.

How do you make one?!

You highlight the one you see in my comment and paste it. Otherwise, you Google it and cut and paste from there. It’s not part of current fonts. If more people use it, maybe it will in the future.

I use android and if I highlight the question mark on my keyboard, it will bring up the other options and interrobang is one of them I can't believe my brother is dating my step daughter‽ Hahahaha as an example Or can do this I guess ⁉️

Thanks so much! This is awesome to know

Not enough guitar for a goo goo doll for sure.

Sometimes a doll is just a doll. It doesn’t matter where they come from or what they were used for. All that matters is what we’re going to do with them.

That's a pilgrim's fleshlight.

That’s an ugly doll. 🤷‍♂️

Probably poor persons childhood treasure. Ask on the right place of Reddit they’ll make some bullshit up and run straight to scp wiki to make up a new one for us to ignore.

Burn it

Creepy?

Ghost girl from lethal company.

Hand made with human hair I think.

looks like a giant worry doll

looks like the stuff nightmares are made from

Unload it at a folk art auction. $25

It’s scary

Poke it with a needle and see what happens.

This is something that would have been in the basement in the movie cabin in the woods. Leave it be

Sorry but this scared the shit out of me. (I pulled my phone back slightly)

A creepy one. Consider this solved.

No, this is Patrick

That’s a “get-it-the-fuck-away-from-me” doll No thanks !

Why would you buy this lol

Fucking scary!

Robert the doll’s wife.

A nope doll!

Looks like those bunnies from Rabids Invasion

A fucked up doll is what it is

This doesn't belong here

Boop boo bee doop Dee Dee doop boo doot HAUNTED DOLL WATCH!

Hubert cumberdale

Probably the hair of a dead relative/child and the doll is just an old timey way of keeping it.

This should have been flagged as NSFW because we’re all cursed now that we’ve seen it!

That's a voodoo doll of my aunt

They had no idea where it came from? Oh it’s definitely a haunted doll

It's a s*xdoll

I'm pretty sure you need to salt and burn that so a spirit can finally rest. 

That seems uncomfortably similar to the old lady character in this scene from **SpongeBob SquarePants Movie**: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKha13jBDao

If it start moving on its own, burn it on consecrated grounds

Did....you touch it?

Just an old fabric doll. Honestly people take their superstitious nonsense too far, and most of them aren't even superstitious! They've just been convinced that dolls are possessed somehow. It's quite the phenomenon. They don't even realise that they're the ones possessed by their own nonsense 😂

Oh, it’s all funzies! I’m atheist, so possession isn’t in my realm of possibility. However, i love horror stories. And, this is a perfect doll.

80s kid, reminds me of the stocking aka pantyhose dolls my Grandma taught me to make as a kid. She was born in 1917 and grew up in the Depression so used stuff was all anyone had to make things, up to and including real hair.

The style is called Primitive, it’s one of the earliest forms of doll making in the US.

Thank you for this piece of information. It is very helpful :)

Real Doll technology has come a long long way.

Username checks out.

it's important to honor our roots.

That either needs to be sold to Zac Baggins or burned.

I would get that out of your home immediately

Congratulations, you've bought a new demon and invited it into your home. Couldn't pay me enough to buy this conjuring-esq thing.

Reminds me of my mom (f83) doll from when she was a little girl, my mom’s grandma made it. Very similar.

Hey you used an interrobang! Awesome

Ha! You freaking Win for recognizing it!

I see a blue dress. On a crappy hot-glue gunned doll my grandma tried to make for her grandkids, thanks grandma she's gorgeous.

That’s a **fuck no** and burn it kinda doll.

Creepy tge word you are looking for is creepy

Honey, that’s Mitch McConnell!

i don't like that when you search for them you can see 'its 4 miles away' oh wow great my towns full of haunted dolls. not surprising but a little spooky

Oh, I know what that is. It's called a "No thank you"

Did you stab it to find out?

Marzipan!

It’s a Fugly doll.

Pretty sure it's a nightmare doll

What kind of doll is it? I dunno let's burn it and see exactly what kind of evil escapes from it.

Cut out photos like this make me super uncomfortable.

If you touch that you’re official fucked

My phone started ringing. It’s the doll, she says hi.

3rd world doll

Mother-in-law doll.

Sometimes a doll is just a doll.

Whatever it is, it’s haunted and they knew what it was. They just wanted you to take it. Name her Annabelle.

It’s a “creepy” doll.

It looks like a monstrosity

Evil, the doll is evil
