Late Halloween Special

Welcome horror and halloween lovers! If you haven't been spooked or creeped out this season, you're in for a treat 'cause this post may just do the trick. And while you're at it, watch the movie Annabelle if you haven't already. Why? Cause it's just that good. 

This halloween, I took some pictures at a nearby untroubled farm. I've also included some doll pictures and the story behind them (my favorite part). 

Warning: the following post contains creepy images and may trigger shrieks :)

The corn maze on the farm welcomed my sister and I with open arms. Thank goodness it didn't say "enter at your own risk" or "caution: zombies inside". Although... it did have a "do not enter" tape along the path of the maze. 

Word of advice... it's more fun if you don't use a map in a corn maze. Be adventurous! Get lost in there! But as your parents have taught you, don't talk to strangers...it maaay get sketchy.

These corn stalks were intimidating, so I made this picture intimidating as well. It's overflowing with contrast and so much detail, I can't look at it for too long. 

Don't laugh at this scarecrow, it's a little funny lookin' and it may attract the crows instead of scaring them, but look at how charming and tough it looks.  

And by any corn field is a pumpkin patch stocked with fresh pumpkins to grow old together. 

After picking the plumpest pumpkin available, my sister carved the usual jack-o-lantern face. 

I took the following doll pictures at a museum a while ago, and I've been waiting 'til halloween to post them. What better occasion to show dolls than this holiday?

So the story of Annabelle, a supposedly possessed doll, has been featured in many movies and even has a movie of its own. If you know the story of the freakish doll, kudos to you. But you're about to read the real stories behind these haunted dolls. 

This doll was once a part of an orphanage on a farm in West Virginia. This doll was loved and played with for generations on the farm, until a young girl was pushed off the swing and died quickly from a broken neck. Since then, the doll has been witnessed to release chilling sounds and whispers, as well as alarming apparitions at night. It's also been known to harm other dolls, hence the one-eyed-bear in the mirror. The farm has been abandoned now, and the doll has been roaming from family to family... being passed off as demonic. 

This doll is one of many dimensions; its first owner and doll-maker remains unknown. However, this doll's story was investigated in the 70's after its second owner, a girl in her teens, complained of hearing moans and grunts at night. Terrified, her friend called her a fool and took the doll to prove her wrong. This friend complained of hearing the moans as well as scratching sounds on the floor boards at 3am every night. 

The friend immediately got rid of it, and the doll appeared 5 years later in the house of a woman, who was in her twenties. She recalled the doll giving moans & scratches, and even claimed that the doll could fall to the ground on it's own, as shown in the picture. She said she picked up the doll from the floor multiple times even though no one said to have touched the doll. She got rid of the doll as well.

  The doll's investigation by the local police came to no conclusion. 3 years later, after being found in a girls school, paranormal hunters claimed this doll to be "possessed". This is another photograph of that haunted doll.

This doll, along with Annabelle and many others, have been the subject of nightmares for many young girls. These girls have stayed up hiding under bedsheets and screaming at night, too terrified to turn off the light. 

Disclaimer: no dolls were harmed in the making of this post. 

P.s. I hope the dolls and grim stories didn't spook y'all too much! Funny story, I was super creeped out by the dollies for a day or two after I took the pics, but now I just laugh and gaze at them. Happy halloween! :)

P.s.s.  JK! These are all my dolls, not a museum's, creepy right? And the doll stories are fake.. I made them up! Or did I? :)
