AIBU about creepy doll?

My sisters and I have unfortunately been clearing my nans house ready for sale. We found a very old doll that looks a little creepy, it's a young girl doll in hand knitted clothes and probably was my nan's. Nobody wanted her and I've bought her home. Both my children and husband says she's going to come alive and kill us all. I think she will be okay in the attic.
Have I bought a demon doll home?
She needs a name, I was thinking something of the same vintage so maybe mabel?

We need to see her!

RowboatsinDisguise · 30/08/2020 19:54

If she’s just going to live in the attic, is there really any point in keeping her?

Howcanwehelp · 30/08/2020 19:55

Her eyes are very realistic and she looks around 2 years old. I don't want to put up a photo in case family members spot it. Maybe I'll call her Samantha. Dh say I had to seal her in a bag for the attic so she's in my wardrobe for now.

Howcanwehelp · 30/08/2020 19:55

She's quite realistic, and looks victorian, with a jointed body.

YABU! She is guaranteed to come alive. Creepy dolls eeeeew!

My dad brought the creepiest toy ever out of our nan's house when she died. It was nicotine stained (nan was a smoker) and was winking. It haunts my dreams!

Thisismytimetoshine · 30/08/2020 19:56

What does it matter whether family members spot it?! They know you have it, presumably.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/08/2020 19:56

Is she a porceline

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 30/08/2020 19:56

Picture or it didn't happen

BigBlondeBimbo · 30/08/2020 19:56

Omfg, my porcelain doll when I was little was called Samantha! Spooky!

YoBeaches · 30/08/2020 19:57

Hmmm. She won't kill you on the first night..that never happens.

First, random object yes will be moved to different locations around the house.....

Theelderscrolls · 30/08/2020 19:58

Emmeline. Definitely a creepy doll name.

Mellonsprite · 30/08/2020 19:58

Google ‘haunted dolls’ 😁 if you’re a wimp like me, you won’t sleep at night afterwards!

Yes exactly. It'll be a slow burning thing, where you feel like you're being watched and then you'll see her sitting on the sofa... "Samantha! How did you get here? Someone must have moved you down from the attic ho ho". Then...when your back is turned 😱😱😱
Yankathebear · 30/08/2020 19:58

Dorothy is a good creepy doll name. I would use her to do weird elf on a shelf style stuff while everyone is sleeping. Unless of course she does it herself.......

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 30/08/2020 19:59

I’ve just thought. There’s only one name for her..... Annabelle.🤣🤣🤣

FuzzyPuffling · 30/08/2020 19:59

Damienette.
