DISCLAIMER: The doll we are discussing has been known to influence or affect people all over the world, just from hearing about him or seeing his picture. Please be respectful and DO NOT taunt him. This story can cause headaches, pain, nightmares, anxiety, hauntings, or even death. Listen at your own risk. 

The names were changed in the book, but the story is true. 

Our story begins in 2003 when a doll was listed on Ebay with quite an interesting story. This doll was said to be haunted and could cause people to suffer pain, illness, or even death. Greg’s brother sold items on eBay and Greg just didn’t see the appeal to this, but he figured he could try selling something on there if he gave it a good backstory. He wanted to see what would happen if he got a beat-up composition doll from an antique store to sell.  A composition doll is made of composite materials such as sawdust, glue, and other materials including cornstarch, resin and wood flour. The first composition dolls were made in the 19th century. They were marketed as unbreakable; they weren’t as fragile as the dolls that were previously produced.  

 

The composite materials deteriorated, and the dolls would have small cracks, or they would begin to flake, but some of them were made with a protective coating of varnish to delay this deterioration. Composition was used to make doll bodies in the 1870s, but composition dolls are dolls where only the heads are made of these materials and they were made between 1909 and the early 1950s. Dolls with composition heads and cloth bodies might be referred to as mama dolls and they would often have a voice mechanism that said mama when they were rocked. Greg purchased a doll and listed it on Ebay in 2003 and the original posting was listed in the book. 

“I’m sure it’s happened to us all at least once or twice. You are walking around the flea market or antique mall looking for a treasure or two, and you come upon a beat-up looking doll. You think to yourself, “oh that’s charming, or “the child who owned that doll must have really loved this thig” ...but what I thought after seeing the doll that is offered today, should never, ever be repeated...... 

 

This doll was purchased in a small, dirt lot flea market in the quaint town of Webster, Florida. Webster is a very charming industrious town about 60 miles southwest of Gainesville. They have a weekly flea market offering treasures, bargains, and aisles of kernel corn...anyways I digress...I had arrived at the flea market fairly late in the day, when most people were packing up to go home. That is when I saw an elderly man placing the doll in a box. It looked interesting, so I asked the man if I could see it.....the conversation went something like this... 

Man: you don’t want to see this doll 

Me: sure I do, what do you want for it? 

Man: Well, that’s a good question, because it’s very old.....(the man looked like he was going to begin to cry)….it was my son’s, I bought it for him when he was born, and he passed away a few years after....this doll has sat in my work shed for over 60 years. I wasn’t going to bring it out today, but I figured I just needed to get it out of there....anyways, I want 20 bucks for it. 

 

I gave the guy 20 bucks, put it in a bag, and walked away. When I was halfway down the aisle, the man came running over, visibly out of breath...... 

Man: I have to warn you about something, I can't just let you take him like this....the reason it has been in my shed is that the doll brought an eerie presence into our house after our son died...we would hear crying and singing from his bedroom...when we went to check it out, there was nothing, just the doll. Other things started to happen, and the priest told me I should burn the doll, I tried and tried, but it would barely burn, that’s why his arms and legs are so worn. Anyways I just wanted to let you know.... 

 

I told him ok, and chuckled to myself as I walked away....that was until I got home, and my life has never been the same....two days later my cat died, my girlfriend left me for the pool guy, I began to have chronic migraines, and this is only 2 days after purchasing the doll! A week later, I began to hear children laughing and crying in my basement....Every time I would go to check it out, of course, nothing....This doll has been in an armadillo coffin in my basement for the last year and half, and I need to get rid of it....I really do believe it’s cursed, sometimes I touch it, and it seems like it has a pulse, maybe I’m just paranoid, maybe not..... 

(Side note: I looked up armadillo coffin and found nothing, so I believe it just means small coffin) 

 

The cursed doll measures 21” tall. His/her/its head, arms, and legs are all composition. The eyes are closed when it’s lying down. Please ask any and all questions before you bid on this doll. I have not had it out of the coffin for years, so if anything else happens this week I will be sure to let you know. This auction is sold as is! WITH NO RETURNS! PLEASE! Winner pays exact shipping and optional insurance. Check out my other auctions for more vintage collectibles and other fine antiques. Ask all questions before you bid. Even if you think you are sure about condition, pictures, etc., please ask all SPECIFIC questions, BEFORE BIDDING. Thanks for looking and Good Luck!” 

 

Greg posted a video that shows the doll moving and talking. It can also be heard saying the word “here” or “Harold.” This video captured over 10,000 views and it was talked about on Art Bell’s Coast to Coast radio show, and Paranormal websites were also discussing the doll. The auction ended and the winning bid was $700, but the winner never paid the money, so Greg put the doll up for auction again and he wrote: 

“It’s been over 2 weeks and I am still receiving emails daily about this cursed doll. My life, needless to say, has been fairly hectic. I made an emergency trip to Florida after becoming violently ill after the auction ended. High fever, stomach pains, painful coughs, etc..... I was interviewed by the Long Island Press. (Some people are actually taking this story serious, amiss all the skeptics.) I have also been doing research on ghosts, hauntings, cursed antiques, and other paranormal activity. Oddly enough there have been more supposedly “haunted” dolls on eBay.....some convincing, and completely absurd! 

 

When in Florida this past week, I was able to make it to the webster flea market to see if I could find any more information about the doll or the original owner. I wasn’t able to find the gentleman who sold me the doll, but I did find someone who had said he knew the man, and was a longtime friend of the family. (He was also sure to tell me that the man had passed away some years before....?) 

 

The man, his name was Walter, told me that the gentleman whose name was Harry, did in fact have a son that had passed away only after a year or two of being born. He also told me that the son was severely disfigured. Walter wouldn’t go much further than that, as he began to tremble and sweat profusely. The winner of the original auction has an unrecognizable email, and the phone number I got through eBay is not a working number. I am guessing the winner was either too scared, or maybe even cursed by the doll. Either way they received negative feedback, since this doll has been tormenting me for too long. (If anyone thinks I am making this up they can email me for more details.) 

 

Before the last auction ended, I had set up my video camera in the middle of the night. I put the camera on a bench and used the built in “night vision” feature as my only light. I wasn’t able to add the video footage that I took of the doll originally, since the auction had less than 12 hours left. I want to thank everyone who has contacted me and offered me advice about the doll. I would really like to get this doll to someone who could research it, or contain it. It needs to be either locked away in a controlled environment or destroyed. (Although so far, that seems to be impossible.) Again, the cursed doll measures 21” tall. His/her/its head, arms, and legs are all composition. The eyes are closed when it’s lying down. Please ask any and all questions before you bid on this doll. As you can see I am a very serious eBay power seller, I sell high-end antiques and collectibles. This doll has affected my business tremendously, it has made me severely depressed, and I haven’t been physically able to list anything in the past two weeks because of my sickness, and how weak I have been. This auction is sold as is! WITH NO RETURNS! Please! 

 

Winner Pays exact shipping and optional insurance. Check out my other auctions for more vintage collectibles and other fine antiques. Ask all questions before you bid. Even if you think you are sure about the condition, pictures, etc., please ask all questions, BEFORE BIDDING. Thanks, and God bless!”  

 

Greg posted another update: “The past few days have been pretty quiet actually. I know a lot of people have been checking in to see if any “strange” or “weird” things have been happening. It’s not like the doll is running around and trying to kill me, you would just have to live with this thing to really “get it”. In case you are wondering, this is the doll that we discussed on ‘Coast to Coast AM’, with George Noory. I was not able to hear the show, but this is the doll.  

 

I thought about bringing the doll to the local church, but I am scared to touch the doll or bring it into the presence of the most holy. I have thought about getting an iron ore safe to transport the baby doll I have named “Haunted Harold.” A lot of people have been asking about the armadillo coffin that I had Harold in. After he leaves, I will be offering the coffin on eBay, so please keep looking. I warned people last time, but again, please do not look directly into the doll’s eyes. Some have said, eyes are the window of the soul.....well, some souls are very, very black indeed.....God Bless.” 

 

Next entry from Greg: “I am not sure how true this is, but someone emailed this to me. I guess when the first auction was up, the FBI performed an X-Ray of the doll. Truth be told, I guess they found that a human baby was inside the doll! Also, after waking this morning to strange sounds outside of the window, I received a very disturbing email from an eBay user. It looks like not only did I have the unfortunate luck of purchasing a haunted doll. I guess it has turned me into an “evil doer.” In so much, that after the doll leaves my possession, I guess I am going to still have some very bad luck. Here is the email in its entirety: 

 

You will receive due punishment from the gods. I’ll be there to judge you at cremation day. You are an evil doer. I can see it in your writing. Last night I talked to the lord of lords. When you go to bed (your couch) look around you, look at the ceiling and you’ll see what somebody is about to put on you. Something will come from a light bulb and will wrap around you. I see green and red. That might be the color of the thing coming to wrap you. Turn off the light, avoid looking at the guitar, and do not close your eyes or things will get very very bad for you. Sleep with a cross near you or you will not see daylight anymore. 

 

Soon you will start the dance of the spirits and you are the main sacrifice host. I know alot about you because I feel you. I’m not a pizza girl, I’m the spirit of my god, the lord of the lords. I can read your words before you say them, and I can see a dialogue between you and the lord of the lords about to happen soon. About to happen in your own bedroom right after you ship that doll Greg. I recommend you to keep it and bury it 5 feet underground or your evil ad talk will turn against you.  

I see the following:  

Lord: You have been evil and naughty Greg! 

Greg: Please, please lord of the lords, please don’t kill me....please don’t kill me lord. (He’s begging) I’m scared. Lord. I’m scared, please.  

Lord: Silence picador (pick-a-door)! 

Greg: Well, you better pull the trigger, because I don’t give a fuck (He begins singing) I’m reaeeeddyyyyy, ready for the big ride baaaaabbbyyyy! 

Lord: Silence pidcador! 

Flesh burning.... 

Any suggestions or comments about the eBay user’s “vision” would be greatly appreciated.” 

 

Greg’s next entry: 

“People have been asking me why I canceled the bids and re-listed the auction: THIS IS SIMPLE....this morning after getting that very weird email, I decided to post it, without realizing the F-word was in it. In fear of eBay cancelling the auction, I had to re-list the auction so I could take the word out. The auction is exactly the same. It even ends the same day as the original auction. The first bidder did not pay me, or even contact me. Obviously by cancelling the bids, it gives people a chance to bid again. SO.....good luck, and keep the questions coming.” 

 

“Ok....this is bizarre, “if everything else hasn’t been weird enough)….Someone pointed this to me earlier this afternoon, but hadn’t been able to post about it until now. Here is basically what someone emailed me.......”Hi, I have been watching your auction. Am I seeing things? In one of the pictures the baby’s eye is white clouded and I see a face in it. Do you see it?” I didn’t see it, then...OMG!!! So.....I zoomed into the photo, and here is what I saw....All I can say is wow, any ideas? 

 

Well I think now that it’s pretty obvious that the FIB X-raying the baby article is a fake. Whoever made the gif, has added their own little hidden message. Thanks for all the advice and suggestions. Someone recently emailed me saying that their daughter has seen the doll wink and laugh at her. Anyone with kids see anything like this? I know that they are supposed to be more in touch with the spirit world. 

 

Wow. Well this whirlwind of an auction is finally coming to a close (Well hopefully!) It looks like the curse of “Haunted Harold” has surpassed even the wildest of bizarre occurrences or dreams (but that is another story completely) I have been getting some very interesting emails from many people who are psychics, and have claimed to have studied the supernatural and occult phenomenon for a good part of their life. A few people have said they definitely feel a spirit attached to this doll. They say it’s a “male” spirit and it is very angry. Tey have instructed me to bury the doll, or try to destroy the doll. 

 

I still would rather get this doll into the hands of someone who can control it, or study it. I have had it for too long, and just want it out of my possession. At the same time, I feel that this doll is special, and needs to go to the right person. That is why the criticism about the price doesn’t bother me. Who is to say the price of a tormented spirit? $100? $500? How much to finally put the soul to rest? If the right person is out there, they will pay almost any price, since their good deeds will come back to them many fold. (YEP, ANOTHER UPDATE TO MAKE MY AUCTION EVEN MORE UNBELIEVABLE) Tell that to the people that swear they see the doll’s eyes moving!” 

 

The winner of the auction was Kathy. She was living in Dublin when she won the auction, but she was planning to attend her aunt’s wedding in New York, then she was going on a cruise to Bermuda with her fiancé, Rick. Two weeks prior to her cruise, she met up with Greg in Manhattan to retrieve Harold the doll. Her fiancé wasn’t exactly pleased about this whole thing, and he felt that she paid way too much money for the doll, which she received in a Reade drugstore bag. Kathy had been childhood friends with Greg’s older brother, so they knew each other and that’s why it wasn’t a problem for them to just meet in person. 

 

Kathy didn’t believe that the doll was cursed, but she wanted to use it to learn how to do doll restoration. When Rick actually saw the doll, he agreed that it was in bad shape, Kathy could learn a lot from this one. Shortly after Kathy got the doll, she experienced a few strange things, but she chalked it up to a coincidence. Kathy and Rick originally placed the doll in the trunk of their rental car, and they left it there until Kathy’s aunt asked to see it. She thought the idea of a haunted doll was absolutely hilarious. The next day, her aunt called and asked Kathy if she could pick her up at work. She went to a chiropractor and was diagnosed with a herniated disc, and she would be put on bedrest until her wedding. 

 

The next day, her aunt’s fiancé threw out his back, so he went to the same chiropractor, and he also had a herniated disc. Next, Kathy injured her back. On the day of the wedding, the hairdresser didn’t show up, the wedding cake fell apart, and the groom had to stay in a wheelchair. Kathy and Rick were supposed to go on a cruise with Kathy’s aunt and her new husband a week after their wedding. A few days before the cruise, Kathy’s aunt called her and said they both had strep and bronchitis and on top of that, she also had shingles. 

 

Before Kathy and Rick left for Bermuda, someone told Kathy that it would be super interesting if she brought Harold the doll on the trip. Wouldn’t it be super funny to bring a haunted doll to the Bermuda Triangle? Kathy thought, yea, what a hoot! So, she did it. She placed the doll in the bag she had received it in, and it was checked in with her 3 pieces of luggage when she boarded the cruise. Rick and Kathy went to their room after a long day of traveling and their luggage wasn’t there. Around noon, the crew found two bags. It was the bags with Rick’s clothes, but not his shoes. Kathy’s luggage was all missing. The crew looked everywhere, but they were not able to locate her items, so she only had her small carryon and she had to miss the formal events because she didn’t have proper clothing. She spent the entire trip wearing the only two outfits she had. Ten minutes before they exited the ship, Kathy received a call and surprise, her luggage had been located. A man who shared a small room with three friends said the bag had been in their room the whole time.  

 

After they left the cruise, Kathy and Rick headed back to her aunt’s house. She was feeling much better and she had gone two weeks without any back issues. As soon as they arrived at her house, her back went out again and she ended up in the emergency room. This was the first moment that Kathy began to think that Harold the doll was causing all of these problems. She decided that once the post office opened the next morning, she would ship Harold home because she was scared to fly with him. She never thought that Greg’s stories about the doll were real on eBay, but what if they were?  

 

Rick insisted that Harold get out of their lives, let someone else deal with him. A year later, he was put back up for auction. The first person that won, didn’t pay, so she put him up for auction again. The title said, “eBay’s Most Infamous Haunted Doll.” Anthony Quinata knew nothing about the doll, but the title lured him in, and he found Greg’s original listing. He said it was obvious when he watched Greg’s videos that the parts where the doll was supposedly talking was fake and he could see the doll’s arm moving, but he assumed it was just being pulled with fishing line.  

 

The videos made him laugh and he decided to get the bidding started, so he placed a bid of $300. He thought there was a higher reserve and didn’t think he would be the highest bidder and he hoped that someone would outbid him. Almost immediately after placing the bid, he received an email from Kathy asking why he wanted the doll. He said that he didn’t really want it, he was just curious about the reserve. She sent another email and said, “I don’t believe that this doll is haunted. I do believe it’s cursed.”  

 

He changed his mind, he wanted the doll now. Kathy explained what happened with the wedding and the cruise and Anthony was hooked. Kathy also said, “My fiancé and I knew a couple, John and Veronica, from work. We became friends. John and Veronica liked to travel, and they were going to Amsterdam. The night before they were to leave, they came to our home for dinner. I had just gotten the doll and since Veronica was a collector of antiques, she asked if she could see it. I showed it to her. She made a comment about the bad shape the doll was in and laughed.  

 

A few days later, John called us from Amsterdam. He told us that Veronica had died. She went out on the balcony to have a cigarette and fell down the stairs, hitting her head on the steps. She fractured her skull, had brain injuries, and died as a result. I couldn’t believe it....Just three days before, John and Veronica were at our house eating dinner, and laughing. 

 

After Veronica’s death, John decided to move back to South Africa. They had a boarder named Stephen who was staying with them, but suddenly was without a home. We offered him the extra room we had at our house. I used to keep the doll in a shed in our backyard. The night I showed it to Veronica, I put Harold in the closet of the extra room and forgot about it. That was the same room we would later offer to Stephen. 

 

Stephen was originally from Wales and before he came to live with us, he went back there. While he was there, he had a physical and came back with a clean bill of health. Three months after moving into the room in our home he began to have difficulty swallowing. Then he started losing his voice. He went back to Wales to see what was wrong. He was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer of the larynx, and was given a short time to live.” 

 

Anthony was into the story, but he did decide that if he got outbid, he was out. He wasn’t going any higher for this doll. He did get outbid by $5 by an eBay member whose handle was “Strange Majik.” Anthony received an email from this user, and he was told not to bother bidding because the doll was his. Anthony was like, alright, he can have the doll, but it’s gonna cost him. They got into a bidding war, which he thought was hilarious. Kathy sent Anthony an email to let him know that the other bidder was complaining, and he wanted her to end the auction and sell him the doll for $400, but she said no. 

 

Anthony and Kathy continue to email each other and she enjoyed learning that he was a paranormal investigator. Over the next few days, Strange Majik and Anthony continued their bidding war, and it was finally coming to an end. Anthony bid the doll up to $680 and Majik bid $700. There were four minutes left and Anthony put in a bid for $720 and he couldn’t wait to see how far Majik would go. There was only a few second left, the anticipation was killing him and then, “CONGRATULATIONS! YOU WON!” 

 

Well, shit. Kathy sent Anthony an email and told him that if he didn’t want the doll, he didn’t have to pay for it. He said no, a deal is a deal. He agreed to send her the money. Kathy knew he didn’t really want the doll, so she said she would hold it for 2 weeks and let him decide if he wanted to go through with this. If he decided against it, she would send the money back. If he wanted the doll, she would donate half of the money to a local children’s hospital and the other half would be sent to another charity. 

 

Three weeks after the auction ended, Kathy emailed Anthony and confirmed that the doll had been boxed up, but he could still change his mind if he wanted to. Anthony told her to send the doll. She took Harold to the post office and ten minutes later, as she was driving home, she heard on the radio that the postal workers had gone on strike and she was convinced that this was Harold’s fault. She emailed Anthony to say, “I should have thrown the damned thing in the ocean and given your money back to you.” A few weeks later, the strike was over, and she told him he would receive the doll soon, but she was worried for him. 

 

Anthony Quinata had been bidding on several things from eBay during this timeframe. He was looking for haunted items and he even bought a mirror that had a newspaper article pasted on the back that announced President Lincoln’s assassination. He was getting packages daily and one of them was from Dublin, Ireland. Harold had finally arrived. Before even opening the box, Anthony re-read the emails from Kathy. Once he was done, he carefully opened the box and saw that the doll was inside the Duane Reade drug store bag, the same one Greg had given to Kathy when she won the doll. Even though Anthony didn’t really believe this doll was haunted, he was hesitating. Should he even take it out of the bag? 

 

He whipped out his Tri-Field EMF meter to see if he could detect any electromagnetic fields coming from the doll. He also checked the doll over with his Natural EM meter to measure the natural, direct currents. Both showed nothing. Before touching it, he still sprinkled the doll with holy water, just in case. Anthony took Harold out of the bag, placed it on the couch and snapped a few pictures. He didn’t see anything weird in the digital pictures either. 

 

Even though he wasn’t able to pick up anything with his meters, he wondered if he could capture any EVPs, with his Electronic Voice Phenomena. The voices aren’t heard at the time of the recording, but the device allows you to hear them when you play it back. Anthony didn’t get anything with the EVP session, and this suggested that Harold was not actually haunted, but just to be on the safe side, he placed a bottle of holy water and a crucifix in the bag when he put him back. Maybe Kathy had an overactive imagination? Anthony did know a psychic named April and he wondered if she could do a reading with Harold. 

 

He called her and said hey, I’d loke to do a reading and bring some objects, cool? She said yea, let’s meet up at a bookstore. He didn’t tell her that he would be bringing Harold. First, he showed her some other items he got from eBay, he would show her the doll last. When it was time, he opened the bag and April said, “Is that Harold?” She had seen him all over the internet. Anthony sprinkled the doll with holy water and placed him in April’s hands. She giggled and thought he was being a bit overly cautious. She said, “He’s a composition doll. I think he was made sometime in the 30’s. I’m getting something about the spirit in the doll being a child molester, a molested child, or both.” April began crying and shaking and she said she couldn’t hold the doll anymore because, “He’s just told me he’s going to kill me!” April said she has a heart murmur. After Harold said he would kill her, she felt like someone was grabbing her heart. 

 

Anthony was really disappointed with how the session went and he wasn’t sure he even believed April about what Harold supposedly said, or about her having a heart condition. He turned off the recording equipment and headed home. When he got there, he decided to listen to the recording to see if there were any EVPs. He could hear April laughing when he put holy water on Harold, then he heard it. A male voice angrily and clearly said, “Shut up!” Then, as he sprinkled the holy water on the doll, he heard a scream. When April mentioned that the spirit in the doll was a molested child, a child molester, or both, there was an angry roar and a male voice said, “I’m going to kill you, bitch!” 

 

It was around this time that Anthony decided he was going to write a book about Harold. One of his friends examined the doll and she believed that a spirit was imprisoned inside the doll by some kind of magic. He decided to take the doll on a trip to California. He often visited Venice Beach where his siblings lived, and Anthony knew of a mother and daughter team that did palm and tarot card readings on the sidewalk. He showed the young woman the doll and asked if she could do a reading. She immediately said she couldn’t help him and asked him to go away. The ladies refused to give him any more information. Alright, that clearly wasn’t going to work. Anthony had another idea though. He was like, maybe I should bring Harold to the Whaley house? We covered the Whaley House in episode 78 and it’s known as one of the most haunted houses in America.  

 

Anthony placed Harold and a recorder behind a door while he walked around, and he was able to pick up several EVPs while he was there. He was more convinced than ever that he would need to get a reading from another psychic, but it had to be someone that didn’t have any prior knowledge of Harold. He took the doll to a place called “Celebrations” which is a semiannual psychic fair. He asked three different psychics to do a reading with the doll and they all declined. 

 

He randomly received a call from a woman named Angie. She was a mutual friend of the first psychic who tried to do a reading with Harold. She asked if he wanted to meet up for lunch and he agreed. He was not going to tell her anything about the doll. Anthony waited for her to arrive, but he suddenly felt drained. This happened often when he was around Harold. He fell asleep, but woke up to Angie screaming his name, Anthony!  He ran out of his room and saw her standing with her body flat against the wall and she was pointing towards the kitchen. 

 

She yelled, “Is that Harold?” She said that when she got in the driveway, she felt that she was in danger, but she couldn’t explain why. The feeling got worse the closer she got to the house. She knocked, but Anthony didn’t answer, so she walked in and called his name. She saw the doll in the kitchen, and he was grinning at her. He said, “The carrots were good. Do you have any peas?” She tried to run, but she couldn’t. She felt like something was stopping her.  

 

Anthony tried again to find someone to do a reading with Harold. A friend of his named Diane, offered to help and when he pulled the doll from the bag, she made a comment about a molested child. When listening back to the EVPs during this part, a male voice yelled, Fuck you! There were two marks on Diane’s fingers that looked like she had been bitten and her left eye was red and swollen. Anthony measured the indentations on her fingers against the doll’s teeth and it was an exact match. 

 

When the readings weren’t working, Anthony got another bright idea. He decided to get out the Ouija board. He didn’t want to do it alone, so the newest member of his ghost hunting group, Heather, agreed to help. They didn’t do any protection rituals and they decided to skip the prayers. They placed their fingers on the planchette and asked: 

Is there anyone here? YES  

Are you the one trapped in the doll? YES  

Is your name Harold? NO 

What is your name? A-H-M-E-D 

They listened to the recording and when they said the name Ahmed, a voice corrected them and said, Adam. Suddenly, Heather was gripping her side and said it was burning. She lifted up her shirt and there was a long, red, gash down her right side. That was the last time Anthony ever heard from her. A lot of people were warning Anthony that the doll was dangerous, but he felt that it wouldn’t hurt him, but that all changed. 

 

NEXT WEEK:  

-Harold the Doll is put away in storage for many years and once he was let out, he went right back to his same old tricks. 

-Anthony got a few more psychic readings with Harold and he was being told that there may be more than one spirit attached to the doll 

-Harold begins reading Anthony’s thoughts 

-A child becomes a key source of learning information about Harold, and he is able to provide the name of someone locked inside
