Living with Haunted Dolls: Fiona Dodwell and Knock Knock Harry

Fiona Dodwell is a freelance writer and published author whose work spans film, music, and theatre, but her lifelong passion has always been the study of the paranormal. That passion took an unexpected turn while she was researching her book, A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls: From Real Life to Literature and Movies.

During the process, Fiona adopted one of the very objects she was writing about, a haunted doll named Knock Knock Harry. She makes a brief reference to Harry in the book and that is the hook for this interview. Harry, as it turns out, had no intention of remaining a background character.

With a bold personality and a noticeable attitude, Knock Knock Harry has made his presence known in unmistakable ways, even during Fiona’s interviews. You'll find multiple social media interviews and posts. What began as research quickly evolved into an ongoing, very active paranormal partnership. He clearly enjoys an audience. And Fiona's collection is expanding.

My personal read? Harry carries a trickster-performer energy, more Houdini than horror. A born entertainer. And, for the record, he is very clear on one point: he is not a ghost.

Those who know say the doll chooses you. I have to agree, if only for the learning curve. I've had my own haunted doll experience and opted not to keep the doll.
