A spooky piece of security camera footage from England shows a purportedly haunted doll seemingly moving on its own and some suspect that a ghost child could have been playing with the toy. The weird scene reportedly unfolded last week in the town of Rotherham at the home of paranormal enthusiasts Lee and Linzi Steer, who have turned their residence into something of a museum of haunted objects. According to the couple, the doll at the center of the eerie video had recently been sent to them by an anonymous donor who offered no insight as to why they had mailed the creepy doll to them. However, the answer to that question might be found in the footage captured by the camera in their home.
Noticing that something seemed amiss with the newly acquired doll the morning after they placed it with their collection, the Steers checked the security system that watches over their allegedly haunted objects at night and were astounded by what they saw. In the footage, the toy can be seen lurching forward it a series of odd motions as if it is being manipulated by an unseen force. "It's like the joints are physically moving like a human," Linzi observed, "if it was a natural fall it'd have gone on the floor, but it didn't. The way she was positioned defies gravity."
Interestingly, despite being the home of an array of objects suspected of being haunted, she revealed that "this footage is the first time we've caught something moving on camera at the museum" and mused that "it baffles me." As one might imagine, given the nature of where the doll now 'lives,' some have suggested that the toy caught the attention of a ghost child that was intrigued by the new addition to the collection. More skeptical viewers, of course, argue that the video is either a clever hoax or that the object's inexplicable movement was natural event that seems paranormal by virtue of where it happened.
