‘Possessed Doll’ Bought On eBay For $1100 Reportedly ‘Attacks’ It's New Owner

The doll hit headlines a few weeks ago, after its owner, Debbie Merrick, said the item had begun attacking her husband, scratching him in the night, as well as setting off fire-alarms and taking off its necklace.

Poor Debbie and hubby Cameron, both 50, had to lock the doll in the shed after its night-time antics.

But even that wasn't enough and she ended up putting the creepy bugger on eBay.

Debbie Merrick's creepy figure appeared on ITV's This Morning after she revealed its spooky antics, which included setting off fire alarms and removing its own necklace.

Lee's father Paul, 54, discovered scratches on his arm - mimicking those supposedly inflicted on Debbie's partner that was thought to be the same size as a doll's hand.

Lee Steer, a paranormal investigator from Rotherham in the UK, paid an insane $1,100 for the doll after a bidding war broke out between multiple interested ghost fans.

Quite why you would want a paranormal doll in your house is beyond me, and unsurprisingly, Lee’s dad Paul has been subject to the same treatment as the previous owners. Paul says that he has woken up with scratches all over his arms, but the family says they’re not sure if it’s the doll who is to blame.

Thirty-year-old Lee said: "My dad was downstairs in the morning, at this point the doll was still packed away, and he heard a tapping noise on wood. He said it was a bit unusual.

"Later that day he was watching the repeat of one of our live streams with the doll. I was doing a live stream upstairs in my room.

"Then he said to my mum, 'My arm's hurting'. He lifted up his sleeve and he had six scratches on his arm.

And it's not just scratched, the family has noticed a number of weird goings on, including flickering lights, weird noises and stuff getting broken.

He said:

"We did a live stream opening of the doll that 35,000 people watched, and a light I use was flickering, it was like a strobe. It was the first time that had ever happened. And people contacted me saying they could see the doll's eyes moving"

"I've used a random words app that some people believe spirits can manipulate, and when I've asked it it's named it's said "Samantha."

"When I said I really wanted to piss it off, it said, 'Strike Lee'. If it's random words, then it shouldn't be making sense."

Fuck that. Burn it.

Lee said:

"People say I've got a death wish. I need to see something to believe it. I don't believe in ghosts as such but I do believe in paranormal activity. I want to experience the ultimate.

I've been losing my faith recently, nothing's happened for months, but then this doll came along. This is the first time I've seen this kind of activity in 15 years."
