10 Haunted Dolls That Will Keep You Awake Tonight

3. Letta The Gypsy Doll

Kerry Walton discovered this 200-year-old marionette under the porch of an abandoned (and possibly haunted?) house in Australia in 1972. The grotesque doll sports reall human hair and under its skull is a replica of a human brain. Antiques experts determined the doll was of Eastern European origin. Walton felt a strange connection to the doll and had psychics study it. They determined that it was sculpted in the likeness of a dollmaker€™s son, who drowned at age six. Dolls are believed to be capable of harbouring the souls of the dead and this one has shown even further signs of possession. It seems to move around the house on its own and wiggles when held. Dogs go into hysterics when around the doll and people have broken into tears when seeing it. It causes rain whenever it is taken outside. It even got its name by way of it€™s occasional shouts saying €œLetta me out.€
