[Time: 6:05 AM]

Shane: Have you ever heard of a doll that moved?

Ryan: One that had the malice of a murderer?

[Buzzfeed Unsolved: Supernatural Intro plays]

Shane: y'know, I don't think this doll really is alive.

Ryan: Of course it's not alive, it's dead! Possessed!

[Shane and Ryan phase out of the screen, an animation starts highlighting key points mentioned; transcribed below:]

Ryan: This fossil of a doll was found in a decrepit toy shop in 1926 by a gentleman named Alexander Walker, who held significant wealth in his time.

Shane: Gentleman my ass, he stole the doll and used it as a twisted display to show off at properties, in hopes of making more money. However, his selfishness would be his downfall not long after.

Shane: According to numerous eyewitness reports, most of which are from Mr. Walker himself, the doll would slightly twist and turn in the middle of the night, and many members of the family were paranoid that the doll would talk to them...

Ryan: Ugh, just hearing that makes me scared.

Shane: ...this led to many members of the family quickly leaving the house as soon as possible, either by job or by marrying out of the family.

Ryan: It's been said that from what the doll has said, it appears to once be a famous acrobat named Primrose Magnus from the late 1800s to early 1900s.

[Audio recording starts to play in the background, it is said that this is the doll talking but it sounds almost incomprehensible; consists of garbled, high-pitched speech]

Shane: Paranormal investigators and fanatics have tried looking into the doll and the woman connected to it, and while they have found a few diary excerpts and newspapers, the same information remains: a tragic death to sepsis in 1907.

Ryan: To be honest, I don't know how people can make out a thing from the tapes we've heard, or even find some really old dirty documents.

Shane: It's called obsession, Ryan.

Ryan: Despite the fear within the family, Alexander Walker was able to keep the doll in the family, and continue its use as some sort of twisted attraction.

Shane: You think he went insane from that thing?

Ryan: [after a short pause] probably.

Shane: Today, the doll is kept within one of the properties the Walker family owns, and the current head of the family, Jason Walker, has allowed us permission to spend a night at the house, right before he sends it off to an Island for more tourist viewing.

Ryan: Wait so you're saying we're gonna spend the night with a possessed doll that nobody is actually allowed to see?

Shane: Yep! Have fun!

Ryan: God, fuck no.

[The screen cuts into a live video of Shane and Ryan in a car, they are currently driving towards the Walker estate]

[Time: 8:34 PM]

Ryan: It's not even that late and I already hate this.

Shane: Don't say that! The worst that could happen is that we get possessed!
