DO NOT PLAY WITH DOLLS

And now you will learn about the most terrible doll in the world and why it is not scary at all. Hello everyone! Are you afraid of dolls? This one is sweet of course, but believe me, when you are alone in a dark room and she is looking at you, this is not the most pleasant feeling. Fearfully. Of course I could have thrown her away a long time ago, but she is very, very expensive, do not be offended. Even if it was cheap, I wouldn’t throw it away anyway, because I like to collect all kinds of junk at home until the apartment, in principle, ends, so this is what I’m afraid of dolls about. Psychology professor Frank McAndrew said that picking up dolls and for good reason is considered to be one of the most terrible hobbies. Again, I tell me one is sometimes scary to look at. Katherine Ridick buys all the dolls in which the demon allegedly moved. She is chatting with them and maybe they even answer her. Tell me why she does it? Maybe you know? It's me on camera so brave. I would never be able to approach her and speak in a dark room for example, because if she answers, my mind can no longer be saved. This was an introductory lecture, but today we will talk about only one doll. She is very famous and probably the worst. Just the other day, I watched the new movie, “The Curse of Annabelle.” In principle, a good comedy, but the first mention of this doll was in the movie “The Spell”.

*"She wanted to live with us, having settled in a doll and we allowed her,"*

*"But then it got worse."*

We love movies based on real events. This one is just that. That is, we are told that this really all happened. But before we figure it out, I want to tell you what exactly happened. In 1970, mom gave her daughter a doll bought at a used goods store. Over time, the doll began to be found in different places around the house. We found notes left in the corridors. One medium said that this doll is obsessed with a past mistress, a girl named Annabel Higgins. This sinister doll was soon given to the famous paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren. They, in turn, claimed that the doll crippled and killed people. Since I am afraid of dolls, I even felt uneasy to read this text. I must say on the Internet there is only this story. There is absolutely no refutation, nothing at all. However, this often happens, but I assure you, we will deal with this. Let me tell you where the legs grow from all this. It is believed that the very first doll was found somewhere 26 thousand years ago in the Czech Republic and was made from a mammoth tusk. Then, of course, many dolls were found all over the world and it turned out that very often they were made for some ritual rites. For example, shapti dolls. These are funeral dolls. It was believed that they accompany the deceased in the afterlife. Well, you all heard about voodoo dolls. That is, it has long been believed that the soul can inhabit a doll and all that. And children with dolls generally talk and even want them to come to life. Who knows, maybe they really come to life. Is she in place? The whole story with Annabelle, in principle, became known, because the people who kept this doll were famous. This is the famous family of demonologists Ed and Lorraine Warren. This doll was given to them, because she allegedly created all kinds of game and understandably, falling into the hands of these demonologists, a demon was discovered there. I know you love unexpected twists, but this one isn’t like that. He simply could not show up there, because these people see demons even where they do not exist at all. Our issue about Amityville does not need to go far. Ed and Lorraine Warren claimed that everything was in demons. Everywhere evil spirits and all this is paranormal.

*"Ed walked in front of Lorraine with a crucifix in his hands, suddenly he stopped, as if a gust of wind had thrown him back. He later said that he was attacked by demons."*

*"I was thrown back like a powerful stream of water and hit me in the chest."*

Agree that it’s funny to hear it after the main characters of this story admitted that all this is just fiction.

*"Yes, of course, at that time we had very serious financial problems, we tried to earn as much as we could. Yes, we are not proud of this and have long since told the whole truth. You know. Lorraine, watch the demon from the underworld right next to you, near the window. She just doesn't know. We constantly laugh at her."*

This family has a paranormal museum where you can look at all sorts of witchcraft little things and indeed Annabelle’s doll is sitting in a glass box and it says “under no circumstances open”. I was always touched by this naivety. The demon means from Hell he made a difficult journey here, moved into a doll, killed people, and then he was caught and he is such a glass? Of course I can do everything, but glass. Let's see how she looked in a film based on real events. Dumb, huh? And here is how she really looks. And now everyone is like that .. How can this be done from this? I personally do not understand. I directly imagine how this doll strangles you at night, and you even like it, because softly. This is a classic rag Annie. A character from books, which over time has become very popular. She is not at all scary and could not be used in horror films. This is understandable, so the directors replaced it with a terrible and porcelain one. But that means absolutely nothing. These grief demonologists claim that once a tourist began to mock a doll until no one saw it and crashed on the way home in a car accident. Fearfully? Of course. There is absolutely no evidence of this, just the words of the Warrens who profit as much as possible from this story. And in general, all of their paranormalism is not completely confirmed by anyone, I'm not even talking about any scientists. Let me tell you about the fear of dolls. This is called pediophobia, it is an offshoot of automatophobia when you are afraid of not only dolls, but also humanoid figures, for example mannequins. So why are we afraid of something that cannot harm us. Suppose you heard a knock in the next room, you go in, and there the doll sits and looks at you. She always sat there, but you are uncomfortable with the uncertainty. In 2013, Francis McAndrew and Sarah Cuenca published a study on this topic. It says that fear is a natural reaction of the body when we do not know where the threat comes from, where the knock or creak comes from. Completely ordinary things begin to seem very creepy, especially those that look like a small child. But this is already called the ominous valley. This is a term for fear of something inanimate, but very reminiscent of us. Look at this robot. You get creepy, mechanical movements, a frightening look. Everything makes us think that someday she might start moving on us with a frozen smile on her face. Again, all this fear is probably inspired by pop culture, there are too many books and films on this subject. By the way, I’m afraid of clowns, even the cutest ones. But after Stephen King’s book “It,” they no longer seem so harmless. That's exactly how it works. But still, how to expose this story with the Annabelle doll? Joseph Lacock of the University of California points out that this phenomenon of scary dolls has a logical explanation. I will show it to you. 1970, the Annabelle doll appears, and at the same time, another demon doll, Robert, appeared in Florida. Such tourist demons from Hell came to America, such aha we have a settlement of 12, then you are in this doll, and me in this one. And here I have a different opinion on this matter. 1963 “Twilight Zone” - one of the most popular mystical series, which is watched by everyone, releases a series called “Living Doll”. Find 10 differences called. There, mom gives her daughter a doll, which begins to move around the rooms, talks and drives people crazy. Everything is exactly as in our history. Yes, this is Annabelle at the minimum. Do not believe? Guess what the name of this girl’s mother was in this series. Her name was Annabelle. What does all this mean? The doll forced the directors to shoot the series. I'm genius. In fact, the whole story was not even invented, but copied. This is another hype of their nothing. You can believe me. Ed and Lorraine Warren all too often fell for lies. Not a single word is confirmed. They have demons flying around the house of Amityville, they have a doll flying and kills everyone. Too many oddities in one place. Only for some reason only these two see them. So what is it? Mental abnormality or maybe craving for money? Or maybe they actually see something? We will definitely talk about them again.

*"Let's play."*

Of course, no demons were instilled in dolls, and all cases are nothing more than fiction, and of course no one died from this. But who am I to trust you? Please think for yourself. All links in the description. Thanks for watching, like if you watched the issue with your doll. Of course it sounds so-so. Unfortunately, my story will not be able to affect the fear of dolls, because it is so stuck in our heads that walking through a dark room, catching the eyes of a cute doll on you, you will catch yourself thinking that you really feel uneasy. Or are they really alive? I would like to believe, but hard to believe.
