to think these dolls are going to kill me?

[NotAnotherNameChangeAgain]

I'm working away in Switzerland at the moment. This afternoon I take baby (Nanny) for a nice peaceful stroll through the streets of the quaint Swiss city.
We walk down one of the dodgier streets that connects the park to the town centre, I'm pretty sure it's the red light district judging by the shop fronts but during the day it's perfectly safe if a bit vomit inducing.
Tucked into the corner of a window ledge there's a sign that reads "Free" (in German) and a collection of the creepiest fricking dolls I've ever seen.
Now I'm not stupid, I know that if I'd taken them they'd murder me in my sleep at 33 minutes past 3 in the morning. I couldn't help but take a photo though.

AIBU to think I've witnessed the start of a horror film? Or that perhaps even taking a photo has got me caught up in one?

I'll add the photonion here for the rest of you sharing is caring and all that!

Ps. I also happen to be the Nanny that survived the Bloodman in Colorado a few years back, if anyone remembers that...

Check under your bed Not. That's where they are hiding

NO! Dont do it, if you prek under there they will attack! They always do!

Peek*

I really wish I could un-see these dolls. Before I read your post I assumed that sign said 'death' or similar - clearly I have a ridiculous imagination and can't speak any German

I was mildly preturbed by the efficient nature of the sign tbh. Considering it was down a dodgy street, away from public view - it was a very neat typed sign, stuck meticulously straight and all the dolls was sat up beautifully.

I'm not sure why that bothers me. Obviously it would be worse if it was scrawled in blood next to them or something (though at least that'd be honest advertising...)

*perturbed

I would never ever let those dolls into my house. Not even if they paid me. Remind me of IT. And I hate clowns. They freak me out.

You'll turn your back on your little charge/s one day and when you turn round, they will be playing with the creepy little demon clowns. (that have appeared out of nowhere)

Yes I think the sign makes it worse. Like someone is so desperate to get rid of them as quickly as possible because the dolls tried to kill them that they have gone to great lengths to make them look as normal as possible.

Maybe that's the curse! Once you have taken possession (ha!) of them then you can't just burn them. (other ways to destroy them are available) You have to give them away or terrible things will happen!

That made sense in my head.

The Bloodman thread is a delight. Thanks for that. I particularly enjoyed St Peter's TripAdvisor of Hell...

The DeathDolls are disturbing. And much worse than axe murderers in the woods - they could squeeze in when you're not looking, or through mouse holes and god knows what. You will never be safe. Every time you look over your shoulder, there could be one ducking down your back behind your shoulder. Ugh.

And again, nice reassuring messages to read before bedtime. Thanks all!

I once made my mother (with hysterical sobbing and refusal to sleep) wrap a doll in two carrier bags, tie it up, put it in the freezer, chain the freezer shut, then lock the conservatory door where the freezer was so that a doll couldn't kill me. All of these things were offered individually but was still convinced it wouldn't help. Didn't want to get rid of the doll because it was a special gift from a special relative, didn't want it anywhere near me.

Sleep well

I really want to go find the OP and position the dolls in threatening poses around her general vicinity. Perhaps one sitting on her window sill, staring in, in the middle of the night...

Haha diseases yes, and leave those chairs empty and rocking in her hallway.

That little guy on the left with the dodgy hat is clearly the one in charge.

OP I loved your Colorado thread! Those dolls are just a horror film waiting to start.

Back in Germany now.
They can't find me here.
Right? Right????

They were in your suitcase. They've nkw climbed out and are hiding under your bed ready to attack

Now*

Sorry OP. In the EU, dolls can travel freely between countries. We must protect Britain from the DeathDolls. Vote to leave the EU, and force dolls to produce passports at borderchecks, or be murdered in your beds... It's your choice...

I stayed in a hotel last night so hopefully I'm moving around too much for them to track me down...

They will find you.

And they will kill you.
