We have already written about strange dolls that exist in this world. True or legend - no one will answer for sure, but these stories invariably arouse the interest of our readers. Therefore, we bring to your attention a detailed story about Bylo-Baby - one of the most mystical possible existing dolls!
Doll for a sick girl
Its history began in 1922 in the small American town of Key West, Florida. The doll was made by the master Charles Wincox, a member of the Golden Dawn occult order. There was a legend about Charles Wincox that dolls made by his hands scare away the spirit of death, that a sick child, holding such a doll, could live a little longer. It was rumored that he makes his dolls in the images of dead children from the orphanage of St. Augustine. And that he sews the hair and pieces of clothing of these unfortunates into dolls.
And when it turned out that Rosie McKney - the only daughter of very wealthy parents - was sick with anemia, they ordered a doll for Wincox. Charles made a luxurious young lady with a soft body, wax arms, legs and a head, dressed her in an embroidered dress made of Chinese silk. She was damn good and just as dear to the McKney family, who would do anything to save their daughter. But a few days after receiving the gift, Rosie died in terrible agony, clutching a doll in her hands. She didn't even have time to give her new pet a name.
Death of parents
Rosie's parents blamed the puppet master for the child's death. But Wincox hid from the police and his further fate is unknown. They could not take the doll out of Rosie's hands, they were buried together. After some time, the police opened the grave to check the corpse for poisoning, but the toy was no longer in Rosie's hands.

She appeared again after 12 years. In 1934, Rosie's mother, Mary Vanessa McKney, discovered a similar doll in a junk shop and bought it. Soon thereafter, doctors diagnosed her with signs of mental illness. Then Rosie's father died - under very strange circumstances.
Mother completely fell into madness, the estate fell into desolation. And in 1952, Mary Vanessa threw herself out of the window, clutching a damn doll to her chest. The neighbors found her when she was struggling in her death throes and kept repeating one single phrase: "Oh, Bylo-baby!" This is how the doll got its name.
Where did this name come from?
By the way, the Chaldeans in Babylon had a god of darkness and dawn at the same time, and his name was "Baal". In the Middle Ages, the name "Baal" ("Balu", "Bailu") was called a demon. And the Mexican shamans have the Bai-Loo demon, the keeper of nightmares and the eater of hair.
Why the mother of the deceased Rosie chose such a name for the toy is unknown. Perhaps Bai-Lo is translated as "baby doll".
Fearful and unfortunate
A curse hung over the McKney house for a long time, until 1969 in America there was a "boom in the occult." The house was turned into a museum. But … the builders, who set up the alarm, flatly refused to enter the room where the Beilo-baby was exhibited. The insurance agent, making an inventory of the property, left "her" room, fell down the stairs and broke his leg. The watchman's dogs twisted their tails and ran away.
Twice unknown persons tried to burn the doll, but it barely burned. In 1995, Beilo Baby disappeared (possibly stolen or sold) from a museum in Key West. The owner of the museum promised 1000 dollars to the person who found her, posted ads about the loss on the Internet.
The doll was found in New York - the American journalist Anthony Price bought it from a group of Satanists called The Number of the Beast. Further versions of her future fate are bifurcated. According to one of them, Price in 2003. donated Beilo-baby to the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research, which is considered the think tank of American neoconservatives.
Doll in Moscow
The legendary doll was brought to visit the Moscow Rotary Club on Halloween 2005. She stayed in Moscow for 3 days, and the entire top of the Rotary Club during this time managed to enjoy one of the main occult myths of our century. According to the second version, immediately after the purchase, Anthony Price presented the doll to the Museum of Horror, Witchcraft and Superstition, which opened in 1998 in Moscow. The same one, which once coexisted with the restaurant "Mephisto Castle".
Last owner
The days of favorable interest in such things in Russia quickly passed. Now you will not find this museum in search engines. But on the other hand, according to rumors, the real Beilo-baby is still with the lover of mysticism Vlad Tauneshu. The doll lives near Moscow and is gaining "strength". Domestic cats, also living in the country, feel this and are already shying away from Bylo-baby.
