More Haunted Dolls

Here is a link from my Friend, Rose on haunted dolls:  http://www.mediacomtoday.com/tv/3/player/vendor/GeoBeats/player/fiveminute/asset/geobeats-burmese_pythons_eating_everglades_rabbits_faster_t-5min/source/auto


Last week, my friend Amy sent me the link to the NPR story.


One of hte dolls in the Mediacom Today story above is a Greek doll featured on ebay, going for $2500.  I have the same doll; we bought her there when I was 9.  No strange hauntings that I can report.




 I personally do not believe in haunted anything, but I do think that dolls tell stories, and I try to document the stories of mine very carefully.


My book of essays and poems on the subject should be out by April;  It's called "Creepy A** Humans:  The Dolls Reply." 


There is no such thing as bad publicity, but if you read my "Free the Talega 11!" post on About.com Doll Collecting, you'll see what I think.  Dolls are a wonderul hobby, and they are the educational and cultural portraits of humanity.  I'm not sure if this rubbish hurts or helps our hobby, but in some ways, I feel it is an attack on the doll and toy industry.   With so few young collectors our there, and the aging population in the Antiques Industry in general, I get concerned.


As for me, I had a great time finding Monster High dolls and antiques at recent antique shows and stores.  I am finding that the MH dolls are making their way to Goodwill, and I am on the lookout.  I am still restoring my Figure A Steiner, and couldn't be happier.


Once again, I state that if anyone out there needs a home for Haunte Dolls, even for Annabelle herself, they are welcome at Dr. E's Doll Museum, where we've all learned to get along.
