In 1897, a family named Otto lived in a nearby house in Key West. They owned a plantation and had a lot of servants working for them who they treated very badly. One servant girl gave their son, Gene, a present of a doll. What the Ottos didn't realize was that this servant girl knew voodoo.
Gene's full name was Robert Eugene Otto. His parents had always called him "Gene", so he decided to give the doll his real name, "Robert."
Many strange things began to occur in the Otto household. Many neighbors claimed to see Robert move about from window to window, when the family were out. Gene began to blame Robert for mishaps that would occur. The Otto's claimed to hear the doll giggle, and swear they caught glimpses of the doll running about the house.
Gene began to have nightmares and scream out in the night, when his parents would enter the room, they would find furniture over, their child in fright, and Robert at the foot of the bed, with his glaring gaze! "Robert did it."... The doll was eventually put up into the attic, where he rested for many years.
But Robert had other plans. Visitors that enter the house could here something walking back and forth in the attic, and strange giggling sounds. Guests no longer wanted to visit the Otto home.
Gene Otto died in 1972. The home was sold to a new family, and the tale of Robert had died down... But Robert waited patiently up in the attic to be discovered, once again. The 10 year old daughter of the new owners was quick to find Robert in the attic. It was not long before Robert unleashed is displeasure on the child... The little girl calming that the doll tortured her, and made her life hell... Even after more than thirty years later, she steadfastly claims that "The doll was alive and wanted to kill her."
Robert, still dressed in his white sailor's suite and clutching his stuffed lion, lives quite comfortably, though well guarded, at the Key West Martello Museum. Employs at the museum continue to give accounts of Robert being up to his old tricks still today...
