For centuries, dolls have been the favorite toys of most girls. And sometimes this love of women for these artificial men is preserved for life. But the doll became a toy only in the 15th century. Before that, made of clay, wood, scraps, etc., figurines were used mainly in magical rituals during various rituals, the overwhelming majority of which was aimed at causing evil.
Therefore, the attitude towards dolls among the ministers of the church was extremely negative, especially towards their appearance in the houses of believers. But, despite the prohibitive measures, dolls began to come into fashion more and more confidently. Over time, they began to make them more and more like people, dressing them in the most fashionable outfits.
But at the same time, many stories began to appear in which dolls did not bring joy and happiness to their owners, but, on the contrary, misfortune, suffering and even death.
“… She was lying wrapped in a white towel with embroidery. The package gave off an unpleasant smell of a mixture of naphthalene, cheap perfume, bay leaves and some other spices. From under the edge of the towel protruded two small feet in worn-out silk shoes. As the towel was removed from her, an angry expression flashed through her narrowed eyes. And her prickly gaze rested on me, like a dagger blade on the chest … It's hard to believe, but this small fragment is not about a person, but about … a doll. But the doll is far from ordinary, but has its own biography, in which there is a lot of evil brought to people.
This doll was "born" in 1922 in the provincial American town of Key West, located in Florida. Her "father" is considered to be Charles Wincox, who was one of the members of the secret occult order "Golden Dawn". This community united in its ranks many people who were famous at that time: the rich and noble, who were respected among their compatriots.
Many Golden Dawn members had unusual hobbies. Someone was interested in vampires, someone - werewolves. As for Charles Winkox, he made dolls. Moreover, it was believed that the toy men made by him ward off the spirit of death. And if such a doll is next to a sick child, then he will live in this world for some time.
At the same time, there were rumors that his dolls were very similar to the deceased pupils from the orphanage of St. Augustine. It was also said that he puts hair and shreds of clothes of these unfortunates into dolls made …
A terrible grief fell on the McKee family unexpectedly. Their only daughter Rosie got blood cancer. And in order to somehow alleviate the suffering of the child, wealthy parents ordered a doll for Wincox.

The doll from the master turned out great. She was a pretty young lady with a delicate body, dressed in a dress of Chinese silk. Wincox demanded quite a significant sum for his work, but for the sake of his daughter, the parents did not stint. Without further ado, they paid the required money. But only a few days passed, and Rosie died. Moreover, the girl, as if afraid to part with her pet, tightly pressed the doll to her chest. And they put her in the coffin next to Rosie. True, by some strange accident, the girl did not have time to give the doll a name.
Some time after the funeral of their daughter, her parents accidentally learned that Wincox used magical tricks in making dolls. And they immediately blamed him for Rosie's death. But the police could not understand this case, since the master of the puppetry left the city in an unknown direction.
But since the parents officially blamed Wincox for the death of their daughter, the police had no choice but to open a criminal case. Considering that the girl died of poisoning, it became necessary to conduct appropriate analyzes of her body tissues for the presence of toxins. Therefore, they had to open the grave. In the few days that have passed since the funeral, almost nothing has changed in the coffin. But there was no doll next to Rosie …
But the story of the mysterious doll did not end there. After 12 years, they started talking about her again. Moreover, in connection with the tragedies that followed after its appearance.
It all started with the fact that in 1934 Rosie's mother Mary McKee accidentally stumbled upon a similar doll in an antique store and for some unknown reason acquired it. Although she knew perfectly well that the sudden death of her daughter was connected with this toy.
And the doll carrying mystical evil very soon demonstrated its invisible cunning. And it manifested itself in the fact that after some time Mary McKee showed clear signs of mental illness. In the same period, Mary's husband died under rather strange circumstances. This death finally finished off the woman. She completely lost her mind and in 1952 threw herself out of the window in a state of complete insanity. And at the same time, an insidious doll was clamped in her hands.
When the neighbors ran up to Mary, she was still alive, but I could not hear anything intelligible from her. True, already leaving for another world, she several times uttered three words: "Oh, Beilo-baby!", Which later became the name of the doll …
Several decades have passed. And then one day, when a long train of mysterious stories was already behind the doll, it was opened. And to the great amazement of experts, people far from mysticism, human hair and a piece of tissue with traces of blood, most likely human, were found inside it. X-rays, in turn, showed that there was a tiny piece of paper in the head of the toy man. Most likely, the name of the master is written on it, but it is possible that some kind of spell is written there …
And now a completely logical question: how true can this story be? Or to put it differently: how can dolls affect people's lives? What forces are involved in this?
According to experts on anomalous phenomena, dolls, when interacting with people, acquire some invisible features of a living being. This is due to many reasons.
If you look closely at the girl who is absorbed in playing with the doll, you will notice that she unconsciously endows her favorite toy with the properties of a living person.
In the end, in such a game, the child, absolutely not realizing it, transfers part of his bioenergy to a soulless figure. This leads to the fact that the doll at some point becomes the carrier of the energy of a living being, that is, it itself acquires some of the mental properties of a living being.
It is similar to how an artist, while working on a painting, fills it with a part of his energy - positive or negative. As a result of this "infusion" into the picture of energy, sometimes it begins to show its mystical properties.
"Accustomed" to constant loving self-care, the doll at some point can turn into a real energy vampire, requiring regular feeding.
Another view of the mysticism of dolls was expressed by the American researcher of anomalous phenomena Joanne Pillier. He believes that small entities live in the astral worlds surrounding people, living at the expense of the energy that people waste during joyful or, conversely, sad events. This energy is easiest for them to get from children. Therefore, these invisible creatures settle in dolls and other toys in order to be closer to the child - the source of the energy they need so much. And if the baby has weak protection against energy vampires, then his energy slowly flows to these entities, and he himself loses health, becoming sickly and weak.
Sometimes deadly dolls appear with us in the form of souvenirs that were purchased in Asian countries. In such toys, invisible evil is deliberately contained. And this is mainly due to the beliefs of the peoples of these countries.
The fact is that, according to Buddhism, the space around us is inhabited by a huge number of evil spirits - singdomo. These invisible entities steal their "breath" from people and animals and deliver them to a special sanctuary - the Ugs Khang temple, which is located in the Samye monastery on the banks of the sacred Brahmaputra river that flows through China, India and Bangladesh.
And if Singdomo takes possession of a person's "breath", he becomes seriously ill and may even die. Holy lamas are fighting against evil entities. They catch the spirits and put them in clay figurines. Tourists buy these toys as souvenirs. Thus, from distant eastern countries, a toy enters the house, in which there is a spirit bringing death.
The energy carrying evil can enter the doll in another way. The fact is that in Tibet, in addition to official Buddhism, there is a special cult - Bon, one of the rites of which is the ritual murder of the enemy. Priests usually perform this action.
And so that the spirit of the killed enemy could not take revenge, he is imprisoned in a figurine specially made for this purpose, which looks very attractive. Tourists are happy to buy such trinkets, not knowing at all what is in them.
Once far from the homeland, the spirit of the killed enemy transfers all its anger to the owners of the toy, causing various diseases in them.
Thus, dolls, which in the minds of most people are just soulless objects, in fact can cause a lot of troubles, thus having a certain impact on the fate of their owners.
