Meet Peggy: On the surface, she looks like your average doll with your standard issue glassy blue eyes and cute Doris Day bob. But Peggy isn’t so innocent. She’s actually possessed by an impish spirit.
Now before you cry poppycock and click away, here are the (alleged) facts.
British Paranormal investigator Jayne Harris reported over eighty cases of people having chest pains, nausea, and debilitating headaches after looking at photos or videos of Peggy. Have we mentioned we’re sorry?
Some even recalled they saw visions of mental institutions combined with intense anxiety and one claimed Peggy gave her a heart attack, according to the Daily Mail.
Are you still there?
Harris, who runs an organization called Haunted Dolls, was sent Peggy by her previous owner who claimed the doll was haunting her dreams. “She’d wake feeling hot and shaken,” Harris said. “No matter where she moved the doll to in her home, the nightmares persisted. She apparently sought the help of a local priest but two visits later, there was no change.”
After the woman suffered from fever and hallucinations she ultimately stumbled across Harris’s website on good ol’ Google, as you do when you’re looking for illogical answers to mystery ailments.
“When she recovered, she saw no other option but to get rid of the doll as she was convinced it was at the center of all that had been happening.
Harris’ crack team along with the highly specialized members of the Haunted Doll’s social media group, have deduced that Peggy is possessed by the spirit of a woman born in 1946 in London, who died of a chest-condition—possibly asthma. Oh, and she hated clowns, presumably because clowns are the only thing creepier than a doll inhabited by a dead chick.
The four different psychic mediums who have studied Peggy all say that she is “restless, frustrated, and previously persecuted, possibly with ties to the Holocaust.”
Peggy’s original owner isn’t the only woman who has reported being tormented by the doll.
Harris says that droves of people have come forward with similar accounts ranging from their computer freezing when they looked at Peggy’s picture to the room going cold and lightbulbs blowing out whenever they mentioned the doll. But Harris says when people contact her about these incidents, taking Peggy into an isolation area, and kindly asking her to stop tormenting strangers usually does the trick. See? Peggy is perfectly reasonable.
“With Peggy, it’s not only while people are looking at her or watching her, it seems to be afterwards too.”
“We have been told she can affect people’s dreams,” Harris said. “She recently visited a lady in her dreams, warning her about one of her cats. The next morning, the lady found her cat very ill and he sadly died that day.”
Although Harris has had many offers from other psychics to take Peggy off her hands, Harris and her pals at Haunted Dolls are hanging onto her for research.
“In order to do the work I do well, I have to approach each case as a skeptic initially and look for ‘normal’ explanations for things. If it were one or two occasions that things were happening on, I could do that, but with Peggy I just know there’s something more.”
“Just the other night we held a session with her and I made lots of notes as the pendulum was going crazy. The next morning I couldn’t find my notepad anywhere, and when I did find it, I couldn’t even reach it.”
The notebook was later found on the beams of her basement ceiling. “My husband had to use a ladder to get it. Many people who saw the picture felt that she did not want me to tell people the information I had gained.”
If you’ve made it this far into Peggy’s warped saga then please allow us to apologize in advance if this article brings you nightmares, headaches, or overall frustration that you somehow committed two minutes to reading a story that you probably think is total bull. Or is it?
If you do experience any faintness of breath, please let us know. You could be the 81st person struck by Peggy’s wrath. Dun dun dun…Or just the millionth person who finds dolls inherently eerie.
For your own “safety,” we’ve left out the most twisted of Peggy’s tales, but feel free to hop on over here if you dare.
