The world is full of mysteries, and among the most eerie are haunted objects. From dolls to mirrors, these items are said to carry spirits, curses, or paranormal energy. The stories surrounding them can send chills down your spine. Letās delve deeper into the chilling world of haunted objects, exploring their backgrounds, peculiar experiences, and notable examples.
Haunted Objects:
A Cause for Concern
Haunted objects have intrigued people for centuries. The story often begins with an item that has a history of misfortune or tragedy. These objects absorb negative energies, according to enthusiasts, and can cause paranormal happenings. Some claim to experience strange noises, feelings of unease, or even sightings of spirits when in the presence of such items.
Historically, many cultures have expressed belief in haunted objects. Ancient civilizations often regarded certain artifacts as vessels for both good and evil. In some cases, they believed that an object's origin could directly influence its energy. For example, an item owned by a person of ill will might carry a curse, while one belonging to a benevolent figure could bless its owner.
The Most Infamous Haunted Objects
The Annabelle Doll
One of the most famous haunted objects is the Annabelle Doll. This sinister-looking doll, housed in the Warren Occult Museum in Connecticut, is said to be possessed by a malevolent spirit. According to Ed and Lorraine Warren, paranormal investigators who took a keen interest in the doll, many reported terrifying experiences after coming into contact with it. It became the inspiration for movies, further popularizing the belief in its haunting.
The Crying Boy Painting
Another notoriously haunted object is The Crying Boy painting. Originating from the 1950s, this artwork became infamous in the UK after a series of house fires were allegedly linked to it. Survivors claimed that even with the fire raging, the painting remained untouched. The legend suggests that owning the painting may bring misfortune, leading many to dispose of it in fear.
The Haunted Mirror of Myrtle's Plantation
Mirrors have long held a fascination with the supernatural, and the haunted mirror at Myrtle's Plantation is no exception. Located in Louisiana, this historic site is known for ghost sightings and experiences. It is said that the mirror reflects not only the physical world but also spirits trapped within. Visitors have reported seeing ghostly figures in the reflection, leading to an increased interest in the paranormal aspects of mirrors.
The Science Behind Haunted Objects
The belief in haunted objects often falls into a gray area between science and the supernatural. While many enthusiasts share anecdotal accounts, scientific explanations can shed light on why certain objects seem haunted.
For instance, the phenomenon of "infrasound" has been studied by scientists. Infrasound refers to sound waves below the frequency of human hearing. Certain low-frequency sounds can induce feelings of anxiety or unease, possibly mimicking the sensations often associated with hauntings. If a space containing an object has these sound waves present, they may contribute to the belief that the object is haunted.
Additionally, through some of my own research I have found the electromagnetic fields (EMF) as potential causes of paranormal experiences. High levels of EMF can lead to feelings of unease, making individuals perceive unusual occurrences as supernatural. This brings a more scientific lens to the experience of haunted objects. Itās important to rule out what might be a fault in a device before giving certainty to it being paranormal.
This can also be connected to Leylines in the conjunction of two lay lines crossing one another creating an energy well which can produce some huge EMF spikes. Energy wells often create portals where spirits can come through however from my own experience I have seen spirits manifest through areas that donāt contain any detectable portal.
Protective Measures for the Curious
If you find yourself drawn to haunted objects, it's essential to approach them with caution.
Itās important not to get scammed as there are too many especially on places like eBay and other websites where they sell items where they claim them to be haunted and theyāre not. Sure they will give you a great and exciting backstory but be careful because once youāve bought the item You canāt return it because they will say the ghost mustāve transferred during transit or make up some other BS.
I have seen people who have rooms filled with what they claim to be haunted dolls, and itās amazing how many weāll see an old shabby doll and just because it is either antique or looks a mess, people call it haunted. Thereās one particular video where there is a doll on a shelf and this is a particular type of doll sold back in the day where when you moved its arm itās facial expressions changed. Whatthey didnāt show in the video was the fact that the arm had been moved. What they were trying to sell to the audience was the fact the stalls expressions were changing however after I debunked that suddenly their video disappeared.
It took me a long time in my own experience to actually find anything haunted in dolls until one evening. I heard this clicking noise coming from my daughterās bedroom as I walked past her door.
I went in and found her sound asleep, the clicking noise seemed to be coming from an old toybox at the foot of her bed, so as not to wake her I turned the flashlight on my mobile and opened the toybox, to search for the culprit. I couldnāt see anything in unusual and was about to close the lid when all of a sudden, I heard the clicking noise and now a whirring sound.
My curiosity got the better of me and eager to find this annoying sound, I pulled many of the toys out mind you she was now at that age of 15/16 years old or thereabouts so many of these toys were simply memorabilia. I finally got to the bottom of the toybox and found what I assumed was a Baby Alive doll it hadnāt been used for well over a good 10 years or more.
I took it out of her room because of the fact that I didnāt want it waking her up and by now I was curious about this doll that suddenly decided to come to life. As I said previously, I wasnāt one for haunted dolls but in this particular instance I decided to record this doll. I guess if anything out of sheer curiosity to see if anything would happen if I asked it some questions and given the fact that it had not been used for so long, it shouldnāt have been working.
So I began asking if there was anyone playing with the doll because I donāt believe that a doll can fully possess the soul of a spirit. But I do believe that spirits can manipulate things and have had many experiences with them doing so, maybe this was my chance to get evidence encapsulated on video if it was, letās just say that it didnāt disappoint.
I asked if I could do anything like lift up its arms?. All of a sudden it began to raise its arms. Then I said can you produce an orb?
And to my surprise an orb did briefly appear which to be honest, since I was using the flashlight on my mobile phone, it could very well have been illuminated dust because normally I donāt put any light on my phone when filming because I was once told by spirit it hurts their eyes. So ever since then I respected them and have not put on the light, but as stated in this instance I had it on because my room was dark apart from my laptop sitting on my bed as I was watching some kind of horror movie earlier about a some scarecrow that happened to be killing people. I had it on pause and as you know the only way to unpause a video is to click on the play button.
Anyway, when I finished asking if they could create an orb, I could have sworn this doll said in an eerie voice āOooorrrbā as it raised its tiny arms.
Finally, I said is that all you can do? I said can you tilt your head side to side? It did it then when I started saying what else can you do? Can you spin your head around? It was then I was caught unawares that the movie I had on pause suddenly began playing even though no one was near it. Fortunately for me it was all caught on video.

Getting back to what to do when looking to purchase a haunted object, Iāve put together some practical recommendations to keep in mind:
Research Thoroughly: Before acquiring any object labeled as haunted, investigate its history. Understanding its background can offer insights into potential risks. Sadly, there are too many who claim an item to be haunted purely with the intention to rake in big dollars by creating fictitious stories that make it seem as though it is haunted when it in fact isnāt. (Make sure thereās no strings attached).
Set Intentions: Before bringing a haunted item into your home, set clear intentions. State your desire for peace and protection. Whilst it may seem exciting to have the potential haunted object in your home, if it is truly haunted you donāt know what it can harbour and what may seem fun may turn into the biggest regret your face. Especially if you exploite it and turn it into shits and giggles or something overly dramatic.
Cleansing Rituals: Consider performing cleansing rituals to help negate any negative energy. This could involve using sage, crystals, or specific prayers and affirmations. Keep in mind if you donāt have any faith in God the chances of truly clearing any negative energy is going to be extremely difficult. It would be like walking through a house with perfume and spraying it. The room will smell pretty but itās not going to make anything leave Especially if youāre saying things but you donāt have any faith behind it, because they know. Believe it or not, itās not a bad idea to get toys that are gifted to your children blessed even if they are straight from the store. Why? Because you donāt know who has been touching them and what maybe attached to that person and being transferred to that object. So it doesnāt hurt to keep some holy water handy. This also goes for when youāre buying clothes garments in particular carry a great deal of energy and if someone has been trying on that garment in a change room prior to you purchasing it you may be carrying some bad luck that has rubbed off that person onto the clothing.
Monitor Your Experiences: Once an object is in your possession, pay attention to any experiences you encounter. Keep a journal to track changes in your environment or mood.
Once again be careful that you havenāt been sucked into the backstory of the object that may have been fictitious as merely a means of having people bid on a item that is not haunted.
Know When to Let Go: If a haunted object disrupts your life, consider removing it from your space. It may be wise to let go of objects that do not align with your well-being. If the object has caused a great deal of harm since it had come into your possession, consider what you may be passing on to somebody else by selling it. Do you really want to have that on your conscience or is the money more important.??
Many who own haunted items share stories of sleep disturbances, strange sounds, and emotions tied strongly to the object.
The Cultural Impact of Haunted Objects
Haunted objects have influenced literature, film, and folklore for generations. They tap into the fears of the unknown and challenge our understanding of reality. Books like "The Amityville Horror" and movies such as "The Conjuring" have portrayed haunted objects in ways that keep viewers on the edge of their seat.
And keep in mind whilst they may have been certain activities for movies in particular they can be overly traumatised to please the audience.
Cultural folklore often ties into local legends, such as the legend of Robert the Doll in Key West, Florida. This doll, believed to be possessed, attracts tourists and paranormal enthusiasts alike, cementing its status in local lore.
A Noteworthy Example: Robert the Doll
Robert the Doll is another chilling example of a haunted object. The doll, known for its unsettling history, has been reported to engage in various sinister acts. According to the tales, Robert was gifted to a boy named Gene, who became obsessed with it. As he grew older, he reported hearing the doll speak to him and even blamed it for misfortunes in his life.
Visitors to the East Martello Museum in Key West, where Robert resides, are warned to ask permission before taking pictures. Those who ignore this advice often report experiencing bad luck or strange occurrences soon after.
The Thrill of Haunted Objects
Exploring haunted objects can be thrilling and spine-chilling at the same time. Whether you're a skeptic or a believer, the stories surrounding these items ignite curiosity and adventure. From museum exhibits to private collections, the allure of paranormal storytelling fulfills a deep-seated need for mystery in our lives.
These objects teach us to appreciate the unknown and explore our fears. They connect us to history, stories, and superstitions, bringing a shared sense of wonder about what lies beyond the physical realm.
As you engage with the chilling world of haunted objects, remember to approach them with respect, an open mind, and perhaps a spark of caution. Your curiosity could lead to captivating stories and experiences that linger long after the encounter.
But bottom line
āKeep It Realā thereās nothing more offensive to the paranormal community than someone who is faking evidence for likes, subscribers and views.
