Haunted doll

Oh, yeah.

Haunted Doll.

Love it.

Lovely.

Well, going back to the museum, what are some of the key items in the museum that you love to show people?

There are a ton of haunted dolls in that museum.

Yeah.

And when you walk into the gift shops, the first room you go into where you buy your tickets and everything, we have some dolls there for sale that may or may not be haunted.

And I said, well, you're going to have a very bad time because there's more in the museum.

Oh, God.

So we already have a ton of haunted dolls.

There's one particular doll named Charlotte who was, I don't know if she's been donated to the museum or if she's just on temporary loan.

safe.

Now, Roz, you host a show on YouTube called Roz Hernandez, The Haunted Doll.

That's true, yes.

Where you investigate hotel rooms that are allegedly haunted.

And then a lot of stuff that we couldn't use because it was filthy.

Well, Roz Hernandez, you have starred in the series Living for the Dead on Hulu, which was produced by Kristen Stewart.

You host Roz Hernandez, The Haunted Doll, on YouTube, and your podcast, Ghosted by Roz Hernandez, has been a pick of the month from Apple Podcasts.

Woo! Yes, thank you.

There's a lot

of haunted dolls out

there.

On eBay?

Yeah.

Have you ever done this? Yes.

Back in the day at BuzzFeed, we ordered some allegedly haunted dolls.

It's a booming market.

We'll just call her Spooky Steph.

So tonight we are talking about haunted dolls and objects.

Chewy is a collector.

Stephanie is a collector.

Stephanie is going to do it.

I just want everybody out there.

I'm not here to debunk haunted dolls or haunted objects.

I do have my beliefs in them.

She's a psychic medium, an author, a paranormal investigator, a TV star, and a witch of many hats.

And today she's here to talk to us about her book, Dollcraft: A Witch's Guide to Puppet Magic and Haunted Dolls.

And I'm Chelle, and I've gotta say everything that Patty does is everything that Layla and I love, and I have been looking forward to this conversation since I first saw this book, like, in the fall.

So Patty, we welcome you to the show, and we are so glad you're here today.

'Cause they cross over, you guys cross over, my, our witchy world, our spiritual world, our magical world, and then there's that ghosty paranormal world.

Absolutely.

My one thing that crosses over, so I did the book that half of it is about magical poppets and how to make them for all those things we use our spell crafting for, and the other half, the proper care and feeding of haunted dolls.

Because, you know, dolls have never been more popular.

Neither were any of the dolls that came to life on shows like The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

But that doesn't mean real haunted dolls don't exist.

And it's not just Annabelle and Robert on the list.

Ilse Koch was a female concentration camp guard, and she was so ruthless and evil even the Nazis had her arrested.

[eerie music] When Weird Darkness returns, Chucky the Doll isn't real.

Neither were any of the dolls that came to life on shows like The Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.

But that doesn't mean real haunted dolls don't exist, and it's not just Annabelle and Robert on the list.

But first, after picking up a sex worker to assault and murder, a serial killer made the mistake of underestimating the determination of his victim to stay alive and lost his own life in the process.

I don't remember if it was last week or the week before we were talking about those haunted dolls.

Remember we-

It was last week

I re-watched that.

That one's pretty fucked up.

But anyway, we don't have to talk about haunted dolls again.

I'll tell you what freaks me the fuck out even more than these dolls are these fucking balloons.

Okay, looking at our chat log here, I see they released something that I'm not going to say out loud because I'm probably getting it for Matt for Christmas.

And then I had a Haunted Doll update.

But that was just about a real

haunted doll.

All right, let's hear the haunted doll update.

Yeah, so this is at the Roten's Museum, maybe Routen.

I don't know.

[laughs]

Every possessed doll must go.

Every crappy doll must go.

Uh, and so he gets Karishma to cough up 100 rupees, and they are one possessed doll richer at this point.

Um, and Karishma just cannot let it go that Raju is playing with a doll.

It's like, "Oh, you should've been born a girl." It's like, no, he just, he likes this doll.

... that's, they decide that's the way to go.

And-
