Harini BhatHOST
But tonight, I've slipped through the walls to leave you a little treat.
Harini BhatHOST
This is Crimes of Reddit, so we brought you the kind of story that would hit the top of every creepy thread on the internet, Robert the Doll.
Harini BhatHOST
For over a century, a 40-inch doll in Key West has been blamed for car crashes, divorces, and streaks of bad luck that only end with a written apology.
Harini BhatHOST
His owner, artist Gene Otto, gave the doll his own name, his own clothes, and eventually his own room.
Harini BhatHOST
He's stuffed with wood shavings and has two black buttons for eyes.
Harini BhatHOST
And he's been blamed for car crashes, divorces, broken bones, and worse.
Harini BhatHOST
His name is Robert.
Harini BhatHOST
People have been afraid of him for a very long time.
JoeHOST
Like you've all heard of Annabelle.

JoeHOST
For example, Annabelle.

The story of this one is a 1970s Raggedy Ann doll given to a nurse.
JoeHOST
Left hand written note, etc.
JoeHOST
Well, they've made movies about this.
JoeHOST
Then there's Robert the doll.
JoeHOST
Of course, Annabelle goes to The Conjuring.
ShaggyHOST
And if you know about Annabelle, there's a good chance you...
ShaggyHOST
And if you're into this kind of shit, then you've definitely heard of Robert the Haunted Doll, but there's many other types of stuff, you know.
J-LoHOST
But if you, if you believe it, though...
ShaggyHOST
See, therein lies the question.
ShaggyHOST
They...
ShaggyHOST
Just the, the list goes on, and on, and on, and on.
ShaggyHOST
And people return the rock with a letter asking for apologies, just like people who will take photos of Robert the Haunted Doll without asking permission.
ShaggyHOST
Same shit.
Jennifer DiBlasioGUEST
