Robert The Doll - Spectral

What this episode covers

Meet Robert the Doll. A permanent resident of Florida, Robert has spent over 120 years moving around houses by himself, changing his facial expressions, suddenly appearing in rooms, and cursing those who photograph him without asking for his permission. Though Robert now lives in a Key West museum, paranormal experiences haven’t stopped. If you’re looking to visit Robert the doll, remember: follow the rules. If you don't, maybe your house will get struck by lightning five times or your health will decline rapidly–it’s really a mixed bag of misfortunes.
