Richmond Haunts long-form
Haunted Dolls, Volume 2: Peggy, the Doll House Ghost and More
Episode notes
About this episode
| Dolls become especially unsettling when an object made to resemble a person appears to act on its own. This second collection examines stories built through personal testimony, online circulation and the reputations of particular objects.
The episode begins in Chesterfield, Virginia, with the Doll House Ghost, then travels to England for Peggy, a doll associated with reported physical and emotional reactions. These accounts are claims and experiences, not established evidence of supernatural activity. The remaining stories consider supposedly haunted dolls offered through eBay and a collection identified in the episode as A House Most Strange. The discussion shows how ownership stories, photographs and internet retellings can give an ordinary object a public supernatural identity. |
