I'm not talking about the way some people think it's creepy to have so many dolls sitting around staring at you. I'm talking legit creepy times. I started thinking about something that happened to me when I was about five years old, and then I wondered if anyone else had similar experiences.
When I was little, my parents went out of town. They had to leave me and my siblings with our grandmother. When they came back, they brought us gifts (my mom loves to find any excuse to give gifts!) My gift was a beautiful bride doll, the kind that's made to look like a child, with the glued-on hair and all that, you know? The most striking thing about this doll was its eyes. They were clear glass, and had an interesting swirling pattern in them. I was really happy and spent the rest of the day playing with her.
I remember waking up later that night in my bed, feeling terrible. I was running a fever and felt so sick. I rolled over and looked down at the floor...right into the doll's strange eyes. I immediately got up and went into the living room where my parents were watching TV. I told them I didn't feel well, then I mentioned that my new doll scared me. My dad took it and got rid of it the next day. I still don't know what he did with it, but I remember my mom saying that, if there really was something wrong...I mean, way wrong...with the doll, they wanted to be sure no other kid could get it. That was a looong time ago, but it still creeps me out to think about it. It could have just been coincidence, and maybe I was coming down with something all along and just didn't realize it, but all I know for sure is I was very afraid of that doll and her weird eyes. After that, I slept only with stuffed animals, and put them all over my bed to protect me while I slept at night.
Anybody else have a weird doll story?
