Episode Summary: Creepy Dolls – From Childhood Toys to Haunted Horrors
In this spine-chilling episode, Christine and Kim dive into the eerie world of creepy dolls. They kick things off by exploring the origins of dolls, from ancient artifacts to beloved childhood toys. Then, the conversation takes a darker turn with stories of infamous haunted dolls hanging from trees south of Mexico, Robert the Doll, the mischievous figure behind countless cursed tales; Annabelle, the supposedly demon-possessed Raggedy Ann locked away by paranormal investigators; and Chucky, the fictional killer doll who became a horror icon. Along the way, Christine and Kim share their own unsettling experiences and personal histories with dolls—some nostalgic, others downright unnerving.
Whether you’re fascinated by the supernatural or just creeped out by porcelain eyes that follow you across the room, this episode is not for the faint of heart.
