    Description

    ***Recently, I bought this little doll (and 14 others) at an estate sale. As I was purchasing these many dolls, the ladies running the sale made me aware that the home/the dolls within are allegedly haunted. From what I was told, the man who owned the home recently passed. While the dolls weren't his, they were that of his late wife, who collected them for many, many years. Apparently there were noises in the home of little laughs, tiny footsteps and dolls moving from where they were placed. They pointed out one of the dolls I was buying in particular (boy doll wearing blue plaid in photo #2), saying that he doesn't stay where he's put. One of the ladies even said she felt a pull on her dress, just to turn around and see no child, but that he was in the room. They were happy to see him go. I will be listing this doll (who I've been calling Thomas) in a later auction if interested. I will also be listing the other dolls from this same home.
    **I don't know how true any of this is, but I felt the need to be transparent about this right away. The weeks I have had these dollies, I can't say I've noticed anything spookier than normal (I already have A LOT of old, creepy things in my home, so not sure I'd notice anywho).
    Details on this creepy little gal:
    She is 13" tall and made out of composition. She has no marks to indicate her maker. I have been calling her MR (Mister), because this is what is written on both her cloth tummy and back. She has significant crazing on her face and normal wear elsewhere. Her blue sleep eyes still work. She appears to have a crier, though it doesn't work.
    Her cloth body is dirty. Her clothing is vintage, but don't appear original to the doll.
    *Please note that props are not included. This listing is for this doll only.
    ***NOTE: Please look at the photos closely as they are a huge part of the description. I have presented this plush to the best of my ability. I do not alter the photos in any way: What you see is what you get. Thanks for looking :)
