The story with the most sinister Australian doll began in 1970 in the town of Wagga Wagga, New South Wales. A man named Kerry Walton was climbing an abandoned old building and accidentally discovered an antique wooden puppet with glass eyes hidden under the dusty floorboards of the porch.
It seemed that the doll was deliberately hidden in a place where it would be difficult to find. Kerry twirled the doll in his hands and was a little startled by the puppet's frowning expression.
“I cannot explain what it was, but I would not want to see her face in the dark,” Kerry later said.
However, he did not throw the doll away, but took it with him, considering that it was old and very valuable. The doll looked like an evil dwarf with a long nose and hair pulled back into a ponytail. He was dressed in an old green jacket.
Kerry brought the doll straight to his home and left it in the nursery and after that strange things began in his house. Kerry's two children started screaming loudly in the middle of the night, and then they said that the doll, which for some reason Kerry gave the name Letta (Letta), began to talk on its own, and her head and hands were also moving.
In the following days, the Kerry family saw the doll move, and there was such a disgusting atmosphere around it that people felt bad and vomited. In addition, people began to think that the expression on the doll's face was changing every day.

It is not specified where the doll was held after she scared the children, but the doll was kept where the Walton family dogs could see it. And these dogs literally barked at the sight of this doll.
“The dogs absolutely hated Letta. Every time they were near her, they tried to attack the doll and bite it,”said Kerry Walton.
Suspecting that the doll was possessed, Kerry turned to the services of a psychic. He told him that the doll was made 200 years ago by a Romanian gypsy for her son, who drowned. The gypsies believed that the spirit of the child would be transferred to the doll's body and would again be next to the mother.
Later it turned out that the doll's hair is human, and in its head there is also something like a piece of human skin. After that, Kerry appeared along with the doll in many TV shows and talked about her obsession.
In recent years, Kerry has repeatedly tried to sell the cursed doll, but every time something got in the way.
“I was desperate for money and arranged to sell a doll for $ 400 to one woman. But when I brought her, I just couldn't get this damn doll out of the car. I cannot explain it, but some force pushed me away. I can agree to sell it even for a million, but still I cannot physically do it."
Letta is still at Kerry's house. There she is famous as a "doll from Hell".
