Mandy, the Haunted Doll

from Haunted Canada: Ghost stories and the unexplained · host Nadine Bailey / Curiouscast

Deep in the heart of British Columbia's Cariboo Gold Rush country sits a community museum with a sixty-year history — and one very famous resident who has never technically been alive.  Her name is Mandy. She is a cracked-faced composition doll dating back to the early 1900s, and since arriving at the Quesnel Museum and Archives in 1991, she has allegedly made a child faint dead in front of her case, sent a mysterious text message to the museum's new manager on her very first week on the job, and may or may not have burned down the house of a woman who put her magnet in a junk drawer.  In this episode of Haunted Canada, host Nadine Bailey speaks with Elizabeth Hunter, manager of the Quesnel Museum and Archives, about Mandy's haunted history, her national television appearance with psychic Sylvia Brown on the Montel Williams Show, and the night a back emergency door blew open the instant an ex-military investigator told a ghost soldier he was out of uniform.
