Doll historian and witch Heather Green unpacks the mysterious world of haunted dolls, explaining how they function as portals for spirits rather than becoming possessed objects themselves. She draws on her extensive knowledge of doll history and the occult to help us distinguish between "inspirited" dolls that have absorbed energy over time, and "ensouled" dolls that serve as anchors for specific spirits.
In this interview, Heather teaches us:
• Dolls can be "inspirited" with energy from years of human interaction without being haunted
• Most haunted dolls function as portals rather than possessed objects
• Destroying a haunted doll can make the haunting worse
• Tarot can be an effective tool for communicating with doll-attached spirits
Heather also hosts a weekly podcast called "The Witches Movie Coven," discussing films from a witch's perspective. Learn more about her at https://www.heathergreene.net, or in the show notes for this episode at homespunhaints.com.
And remember, there's no such thing as a free kitten.
The Activity Continues is a podcast where three soul friends talk about all things paranormal. Ghosts, hauntings, psychics, movies and TV shows (especially The Dead Files) and other spooky and spooky-adjacent things as well.
We also like to interview people in the paranormal community as well as past Dead Files clients and other interesting people.
Sometimes we even tell your stories.
So, grab your beverage of choice and join us where… The Activity Continues.
