Mumbai: If watching Child’s Play and Annabelle wasn’t enough, the internet seems to have become a flourishing market for haunted dolls. People are selling off old toys in hopes of getting a peice of this creepy yet lucrative business.
Online shopping website eBay instructs people how to buy and sell these haunted items. According to Vice.com. one such listing for a “nasty perverse possessed doll” that attracted a final bid of $1,52.
“Some people want to connect solely with the spirit,” Hutchcraft told NPR.org. “Some people buy them just for the doll because they’re doll collectors and the spirited aspect of it is just a secondary thing. I thought it was baffling, really, because I can look past the ghost as long as it’s a cute doll.”
The idea of owning a haunted doll may sound cool to audiences who’ve been raised on haunted doll characters like Chucky, but many are skeptical about the haunted claims.
