The Doll That Scared Children

Tweet

I generally try to post just once a day, but I couldn't resist sharing this one . I have always loved dolls . My favorite had to be the one I named... "Lady" I could never understand why dad took an instant dislike to her lol. If it looked anything like the one I'm about to share with you, I can understand his logic. This particular doll showed up in the 5th book in the series that I'm reading. I won't gush this time because I have done so often in my previous posts but I certainly will share what I learned. Apparently it is real!! Thomas Edison created this particular talking doll somewhere in 1890s and because it scared little kids, was pulled from the market after 6 months. So, of course Karen White had to feature the doll in her novel... and I can see how it would freak out the characters in the book. Technology has obviously come a long way and reproducing the sound has finally gave us this post... Here's what they sounded like... They really are quite creepy!!
