A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls - The Paranormal Podcast 927
from The Paranormal Podcast · host Jim Harold
Fiona Dodwell joins us from the UK to explore one of the most unsettling corners of the paranormal: haunted dolls. Drawing from her book A Cursed Collection of Haunted Dolls, Fiona shares how a research project turned personal when she adopted a clown doll said to carry its own energy! We discuss famous cases like Robert the Doll and Peggy, but also dig into lesser-known stories that are just as disturbing. Along the way, Fiona explains why dolls, with their human likeness and emotional resonance, may be uniquely suited to becoming vessels for unexplained phenomena. From a Japanese doll whose hair reportedly continued to grow after its young owner’s death, to firsthand accounts from collectors who actively seek out haunted objects, this conversation examines whether spirits can truly attach themselves to physical items. Fiona also reflects on whether our own energy can imprint onto cherished belongings, blurring the line between memory and manifestation. Whether you are a skeptic or a believer, this episode invites you to reconsider the objects sitting quietly on your shelves and what they might be holding onto.
