Allegedly true horror stories.
What happens when the scary stories you tell on Halloween become too real?
These stories are beyond your wildest dreams...or should I say nightmares.
Here's a whole bunch of allegedly true doll stories. Personally, I am terrified of dolls and I absolutely can't stand them. So this chapter is extra scary for me.

The innocent looking Okiku lives at the Mannenji temple in Iwamizawa, Japan, but her butter wouldn't melt appearance belies her creepy little secret.
According to the temple, the doll's hair was originally cut into a short bob, but it has grown down to her knees over time. The pampered doll is treated to regular hair cuts, but it just keeps growing back.
According to local legend, Okiku's origins can be traced back to a young boy who bought this doll for his sick little sister, who died from her illness.

Mandy:
This antique porcelain doll was donated to the Quesnel museum in British Columbia after her previous owner was so creeped out by the strange things that happened in Mandy's presence that she could no longer bear to have the doll in her home.
According to the previous owner, whenever Mandy was in the house, she would hear a screaming baby in the basement, but upon inspection the room was empty and silent.
After Mandy joined the museum, the crying in the basement ceased, but staff lunches started mysteriously disappearing from the fridge and being found in drawers with items such as books and pictures going missing, sometimes never to be seen again.
Most disturbingly, rumor has it that Mandy is in a case on her own because she can't be placed with other dolls because she will harm them.

This unidentified toy belonged to one of the children who was on the Titanic when it sank, and it's quite possible it was the treasure possession of one of the 49 children who lost their lives.

The island of the dolls is probably the creepiest location in Mexico City (and, quite possibly the world), but it's back story is actually a very sad one.
Don Julian who was a hermit who lived in a shack on a island in Xochimilco claimed he was haunted by a young girl who drowned in the canal and was desperate to appease her restless spirit.
The outcast began to collect dolls and hung them from the trees for the young girl's spirit to play with until his death in 2001, when he drowned in the very same canal as the tragic girl.
Visitors who flock to the island today claim they can hear the dolls whispering and opening and shutting their eyes and the paranormal investigation team from Destination Truth saw apparitions and were flooded with indescribably paranoia on the island.
