1 00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:19,839 Karen is back with another experience surrounding the house that her family has lived in 2 00:00:19,960 --> 00:00:28,480 for years. Get ready for the strange case of a cursed doll. My 3 00:00:28,559 --> 00:00:43,799 name is Edward. Here it's the true scary story. So my grandparents' house 4 00:00:44,399 --> 00:00:47,799 was built in the seventies. It's located in Tijuana, Mexico, about ten 5 00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:56,359 minutes from the border, and a lot of things have been happening at this 6 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:03,319 house ever since they built it. Grandparents and my uncles and aunts all contributed 7 00:01:03,319 --> 00:01:07,120 to building the house. They built it from the ground up, and they 8 00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,920 discovered a lot of things. They discovered some bones I believed to be human 9 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:18,200 bones, and ever since then, back in the seventies, things started happening. 10 00:01:22,599 --> 00:01:26,439 My mom used to be a manager at a very well known store in 11 00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,439 Tijuana. She was young when she started working. She started working there like 12 00:01:30,439 --> 00:01:36,439 at sixteen and worked her way up. For her eighteenth birthday, her coworkers 13 00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:40,400 had like a little party for her at the cafeteria, like at the other 14 00:01:40,560 --> 00:01:42,640 job. And you know, my mom had her close friends there. Some 15 00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,040 of her best friends now were from there, and you know, everybody gave 16 00:01:48,079 --> 00:01:51,719 her little gifts like a perfumes, a necklace, you know, just regular 17 00:01:51,760 --> 00:01:56,000 gifts that you give an eighteen year old. One of her co workers give 18 00:01:56,079 --> 00:02:02,799 to her this doll. It was a rag doll. Later, now recently, 19 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,480 I asked my mom about it because I thought it was really weird if 20 00:02:06,480 --> 00:02:09,159 you think about it. Why is somebody going to give somebody a rack doll 21 00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:13,439 for their eighteenth birthday? I don't know, that's just strange. And so 22 00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:15,360 I asked my mom, like, who was this coworker? Like what friend 23 00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:19,240 was this? And my mom was like, oh, you know, like 24 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:22,560 I don't even know her name. She's like, she wasn't really my friend. 25 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:27,319 And then she said everywhere that she went, she was always wearing all 26 00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:30,560 black. And I was like, and you took this doll from her? 27 00:02:30,680 --> 00:02:32,120 My mom was like, yeah, well, you know, I thought it 28 00:02:32,159 --> 00:02:39,479 was a nice kid, so I took it anyway. So at my grandparents' 29 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:43,599 house that's where my mom lived until she got married at twenty five, she 30 00:02:43,719 --> 00:02:45,879 came home with the doll hanging. Know, everybody's like, oh, you 31 00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,080 know, that's kind of creepy, like she looks kind of weird, but 32 00:02:49,199 --> 00:02:52,520 whatever, and my grandma was like, oh, just sit her up on 33 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:54,560 top of that couch. So my mom did, and she just set her 34 00:02:54,599 --> 00:03:00,159 like on top of the couch in the corner of the couch, and then 35 00:03:00,159 --> 00:03:02,240 I'm pretty sure they had multiple couches, so it was just stuffed away in 36 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:06,400 a corner. And Mom said, it was a pretty pretty big doll. 37 00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,280 It will take up like the whole corner. And then my uncles who were 38 00:03:10,319 --> 00:03:16,919 younger and my youngest aunt would always complain about the doll. They said that 39 00:03:17,039 --> 00:03:21,400 every time they came in through the door, they felt the doll looking at 40 00:03:21,439 --> 00:03:28,400 them. And my grandma Will used to say, oh, you guys are 41 00:03:28,479 --> 00:03:30,439 just you know, being kids, like it's okay, don't worry about it. 42 00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:34,240 You know, it's not going to do anything to you. It's fine, 43 00:03:34,599 --> 00:03:40,800 And then my grandma started feeling it, so then my grandma was like, 44 00:03:40,840 --> 00:03:45,360 oh, you know that dolls like kind of always following me. Mom 45 00:03:45,439 --> 00:03:47,919 says that if you were sitting in the kitchen, it looked like she was 46 00:03:47,919 --> 00:03:51,759 looking at you in the kitchen, If you were sitting next to her, 47 00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:54,039 it looked like she was looking at you next to her. If you were 48 00:03:54,080 --> 00:04:01,400 walking in through the door, it was following you with her eyes. Reminders 49 00:04:01,520 --> 00:04:05,159 just the doll, like the eyes don't move they're like set. But and 50 00:04:05,199 --> 00:04:09,879 Mom said that everybody kind of started getting freaked out by it. And my 51 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,000 grandma one day was like, you know what, I've had it, like 52 00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:15,120 I don't want to look at her anymore because she's really creepy. And so 53 00:04:15,240 --> 00:04:18,000 my grandma what she did is she took out the cotton, because you know, 54 00:04:18,079 --> 00:04:21,279 she was very resourceful, and she took out the cotton and made a 55 00:04:21,319 --> 00:04:25,120 new pillow, like a regular like a pillow, like a sleeping pillow that 56 00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:30,160 goes on the bed. And she made that pillow and just kept it forever, 57 00:04:30,519 --> 00:04:32,439 right, and it was in one of the guest bedrooms, so not 58 00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:36,120 a lot of people used it. She threw away the rest of the doll, 59 00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,560 like the outside of the doll and the hair, everything, she threw 60 00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:47,920 it away, and she just kept the insides. Mind you, this was 61 00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:54,160 years ago, right. One of then one of my cousins is born twenty 62 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:58,720 years later, a long time reminder. That pillow was just kept in the 63 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:00,399 guest room, so it was just like a throw pillow, like a decoration 64 00:05:00,519 --> 00:05:05,639 pillow. When my aunt gives birth to my cousin, she's really little, 65 00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:10,839 less than a month's old. They go stay with my grandma because her husband 66 00:05:10,879 --> 00:05:13,720 was always working and she needed more help with the baby because this was her 67 00:05:13,759 --> 00:05:17,680 second baby. This is one of my cousins, and they're just laying on 68 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,519 the bed. You know, it's she, my my cousin, was gonna 69 00:05:21,519 --> 00:05:26,879 go down for a nap, less than a month old. And my family 70 00:05:27,879 --> 00:05:30,839 tends to wrap babies, so they do like the rapping so that babies don't 71 00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:33,639 move their hands or their feet. They're just wrapped so they can go to 72 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,800 sleep. And so that's how she was. She was wrapped and she had 73 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:41,199 her little hat on, and it was she was born in March, so 74 00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:45,240 it must have been like April springtime. So my you know, my aunt 75 00:05:46,199 --> 00:05:47,439 goes up and you know, she's like, we're gonna take a nap. 76 00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,399 I'm gonna feed her, and I'm gonna put her down for a nap. 77 00:05:49,759 --> 00:05:53,480 My grandma's like, okay, you know, she's downstairs cooking. My aunt 78 00:05:53,759 --> 00:05:57,800 is upstairs with my with my knees, and then all of a sudden, 79 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:00,839 they're laying on the bed and all of a sudden, Knees starts kind of 80 00:06:00,879 --> 00:06:08,399 almost choking, just crying and choking, and my aunt says that she was 81 00:06:08,399 --> 00:06:12,839 turning red. And purple like it looked like she was really struggling. So 82 00:06:12,879 --> 00:06:15,800 my aunt freaked out and she you know, yelled for my grandma, and 83 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,839 my grandma came running, and they're trying to figure out what's wrong with her, 84 00:06:19,279 --> 00:06:21,439 and you know, they're like, is she hungry? They she need 85 00:06:21,439 --> 00:06:25,240 to be burbs, Like what's wrong? So they try everything, and then 86 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:29,079 my Grandma's like, let's take off her clothes. Maybe something's like itching, 87 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:35,439 maybe something's bothering her. So they did. They unwrapped her. They took 88 00:06:35,439 --> 00:06:41,079 off her clothes and they couldn't really find anything, and then my aunt lifted 89 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:45,639 up her head to look on her neck and there was a thread wrapped around 90 00:06:45,639 --> 00:06:49,480 her neck multiple times, and there was a needle poking right here in the 91 00:06:49,519 --> 00:06:55,680 front. You know, needles are very thin and very skinny obviously and little 92 00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:59,399 it wasn't all the way in, but it was poking her like in between 93 00:07:00,879 --> 00:07:05,079 her collarbone. They were freaking out because first of all, this baby doesn't 94 00:07:05,160 --> 00:07:09,399 roll, so there's no way she cut a roll into the thread and you 95 00:07:09,399 --> 00:07:13,480 know, wrapped it around her neck. My aunt had just given her a 96 00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:17,079 bath, so if that thread would have been there, she would have seen 97 00:07:17,120 --> 00:07:27,720 that that thread just came out of nowhere, and they had only my my 98 00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,000 I had already fetter and now they were going down for a nap when it 99 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:35,040 happened that she started going like just you know, crazy because she obviously the 100 00:07:35,079 --> 00:07:41,800 needle was poking her and the thread was choking her. Later we find out 101 00:07:42,839 --> 00:07:46,480 the pillow she was laying on was that pillow that my grandma made into the 102 00:07:46,519 --> 00:07:50,360 doll that she made into a pillow. That's the pillow that they were laying 103 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:58,759 on when that happened, which is just crazy because maybe they're you know, 104 00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:01,360 they were right about the doll being creepy, but the insight still had something 105 00:08:01,519 --> 00:08:09,319 because that happened to my cousin. My cousin is now twenty three, twenty 106 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,560 four, so she's grown and she's good, but yeah, they were really 107 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:22,879 scared. We went camping not too long ago, and we just love to 108 00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:26,160 tell scary stories, and my cousin is the one that's always telling them because 109 00:08:26,160 --> 00:08:30,000 she knows all of them. I went to bed early that night when we 110 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:33,080 were camping, but when they were talking about all these things, all these 111 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:37,000 things that have happened, my aunt looked over at my mom and then she 112 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:41,960 was like, do you think it could have been the doll? Like everything 113 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:48,039 that has happened couldn't have been the doll the whole time. And that's the 114 00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,840 first time that they've ever mentioned anything like that. We've known this story, 115 00:08:52,960 --> 00:08:56,960 but they've never connected anything to that doll. But that day they did. 116 00:08:56,759 --> 00:09:01,320 And shortly after that is when I asked my mom about that friend, and 117 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,799 I was like, you know, like who gave you this doll and why 118 00:09:03,799 --> 00:09:05,679 did you accept it? So when she told me that it was somebody that 119 00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,679 she didn't know and that she was very like secluded and just always wearing black, 120 00:09:11,519 --> 00:09:16,840 I automatically thought that was really weird, because why would you give someone 121 00:09:16,879 --> 00:09:26,360 you don't know a doll? My mom says. She says, she it 122 00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:31,000 was pretty big, like a meter big, like she had really long legs, 123 00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:35,480 she had really long like I think. She said she had two ponytails 124 00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:37,720 or two braids. And she said that the hair was black, really long, 125 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:43,320 and she said that the doll was smiling like a big smile, no 126 00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,799 teeth, just a smile, and her eyes were kind of ovally like not 127 00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,639 circles, but there were long ovals and are really big. Just the eye 128 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:56,679 was just really big, like extremely big for her face, and it was 129 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:03,879 wearing a little dress. No what he really said anything about the doll until 130 00:10:03,039 --> 00:10:07,600 that happened with my cousin in the NY through away the pillow. My grandma 131 00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:13,759 said, we're gonna burn it and throw it away, So maybe it was 132 00:10:13,799 --> 00:10:28,759 an evil doll.
