14 Most Haunted Objects From Around The World

9. Robert The Doll

Not only does he look creepy, he is creepy. The doll belonged to Robert Otto in 1896 and it was apparently gifted to him by a servant who practiced black magic and possessed a strong dislike for his family. However, it wasn't until people could hear the doll talk back to Robert that they started to get a little concerned... STARTED to!? The doll then became active. Neighbours would see it appear in windows when no one was in the house, it would vandalise rooms, break objects and of course, poor Robert got the blame, despite how openly terrified he was of this doll. After Robert died, another family bought the house and upon finding the doll in the attic, a little girl was just as terrified as poor Robert and said that the doll wanted to kill her and do terrible things. Although it is now on display in a museum in Key West, it is still cursing people. The legend is that you have to ask for its permission to take a photo of the doll and if you don't, you're simply cursed. Surrounding the doll are letters of forgiveness from people who have taken photographs without its permission, asking for him to lift the curse. What?
