Happy Halloween! To keep you in the spooky mood today, we're covering 4 haunted dolls. 

We start with the nice doll and end with the evil one.

Okiku is a Japanese doll whose hair grows, the monks who look after her even cut her hair. 

Mandy is a mischievous doll housed in a museum who throws items around and hides the staff's lunches. 

Robert the doll was a boy's best friend but is now living in a museum. If you visit him you have to say "Hi Robert" and "Bye Robert", if you don't, you can expect bad things to happen. 

Harold the doll is known for causing headaches, back pain, and death, so be careful saying his name or looking at pictures of him. He once had numerous spirits and a demon residing inside him.
