Ep. 70 Haunted Dolls & Cursed Objects Feat Ashley from Ghost Gossip

Are haunted objects real, or are we just attached to the stories? This week on Creepy Shit, a true crime and paranormal podcast, Ashley from Ghost Gossip joins us to talk haunted dolls, cursed objects, and the strange history behind some of the most famous haunted items in the world.

We start with the two most famous haunted dolls ever: Annabelle, the Raggedy Ann doll tied to the Warrens' occult museum, and Robert the Doll of Key West, the doll people still mail apology letters to. Then we dig into the history of real and allegedly cursed objects, from the Hope Diamond to the Dybbuk Box, Busby's Stoop Chair, the Crying Boy paintings, and James Dean's Porsche. We also ask who profits from the haunted object market, from eBay listings to museum tickets.

Then Ashley shares the story of her own haunted doll: where it came from, the moment she knew something was wrong, whether she's tried to get rid of it, and whether she believes a haunted object is truly evil or just attached to someone or something else.
