The doll that aged
Dolls a thing that brings comfort to children all over the world
They are there during a young child's good times and bad,
Yet with the seemingly eerie gleam some can have in there eye they can tend to be horrifying to a lot of people.
Soo What if one happened to age.
Welcome to peculiar occurrences I am your host lilith nova
(Intro)
When dolls age they tend to look quite creepy - hair falls out, color fades, cracks appear and, at times, the eyes or other parts go missing. It is a natural process that comes with time and neglect. This doll is different. It has aged like a person does, though much more rapidly.
Many believe it to be haunted.
Objects age, that is simply a fact, they crack, they peel, they get dusty, they degrade. This being known, there are still many who believe that the way this doll has 'aged' is something more, infinitely creepy – something paranormal.
The family in question has never been named due to wanting anonymity but the story is simple enough. They were an average couple who had children and one birthday or Christmas they bought their young daughter a regular, run of the mill doll with a baby face.
The doll was loved by the young girl but as with most toys and children's possession, the doll was later largely forgotten as the daughter out grew it. Eventually the children moved out of home and the parents rather than throw the toys and memories away decided to store them in the attic.
Although the doll had been well played with it was still in rather good condition when it was placed in a box and forgotten about.
About eleven years later the family decided to move. No one had messed with the doll in the 11 years it had been in the attic. The family went and cleaned out the attic in order to move when they stumbled across a rather odd looking doll. The doll was wrinkled, aged, like that of a very aged person. The arms were stiff and mummified, wrinkles running them. It was when they recognized the clothing and other items in the box that their blood ran cold.
It was their daughters doll, once baby faced, it had now aged.
Incredibly it had aged in much the same way a human does, the wrinkles were all in the right areas but it was the eyes that were most haunting, once those of a dolls they now looked human – looking in them they could almost detect a presence, a wisdom... a spirit?
They family got rid of the doll and the new Owners put it up for auction where they got a hefty amount of money for the doll. It is not known where the doll is today or even what it looks like.
Theories
There is a bit of debate as to how the doll aged. A few people, doll collectors and the like say that the plastic or organic material had degraded, a kind of rot. However many counter those claims with the fact that 'doll rot' generally leaves a doll cracked, brittle but not wrinkled like this.
Those who take the 'paranormal' stance in regards to this curiosity believe it possibly has an attachment, maybe some entity has taken up residence from the doll, possibly way back when the daughter would still play with it.
Another more paranormal theory is that someone out there has put a spell on this doll to retaining their youth and beauty, as the doll bares the burden of age they would be seemingly ageless?
Either way it is a creepy looking doll and an interesting story.
Now I looked pretty deeply into this and I really could not find out the names of the current owners or of the old owners. Tho I did find a news article from 2009 from a UK News site called Express that stated that this story is from the book Ghosts Caught On Film 2. By: Jim Eaton . The Book is available on Amazon and this is the description of the book on Amazon.
It reads:
From shadowy figures, strange mists and apparitions to angels and demons, Ghost Photos is a compendium of extraordinary phenomena caught on film. The author has spent over 10 years studying thousands of photographs and here he presents a collection of the most intriguing in seven enigmatic chapters. This book includes a gallery of explainable photographic effects that are commonly mistaken for pictures of ghosts.
So from what I can tell the author in the book is claiming this to be a very real story with a picture to prove it.
But I don't know What do you think about this Peculiar Occurrence
Could it be Doll rot? Haunted?
Or Something else entirely? Let me know down in the comments below
