Ever Been Spooked (Directly or Indirectly) By Your Doll?

Oh, yes. I have a new boy who spooks me just a teeny bit. He's a fallen angel and is modded to have a second set of eyes in his forehead, which is awesome and looks great...except when I have him sitting next to me and I look over and the one pair of eyes is looking straight ahead and the other is staring up at me. It's a really, really creepy/disconcerting effect. The difference in angle is due to the placement of the eyes and the way the eye wells are drilled. The bottom set of eyes sort of pushes the top set up so that I have to tilt them to have them sit properly. I love the effect, but when I forget and then suddenly have those pupilless red eyes glaring up at me from below the black hair, red skin and horns...it's definitely spooky. He's one of the creepiest of my crew.

 

I'm jumpy, so when I do get a doll. I bet he/she will scare me.

 

I'm a bit jumpy, too, BirdyRaven, LOL.

Anyway, I don't think any bjd would scare me. I had a huge collection of porcelain dolls when I was a kid (Always into the Victorian thing, and had to have those as a kid - ya see?) They'd "watch" me while I slept. Now, most of those have gotten water damage from moving and stays in the basement, but I have a large Grecian-style bust on my tele that "watches" me sleep, too. I have my bjd covered right now to keep him safe from my spring cleaning - but . . . I dunno. I guess I've built up a resistance? -shrugs- We'll see if he freaks me out in the future.

 

I'm not freaked out by dolls of any kind really. My gram collects just about every type you can think of, so I've gotten used to them. The only ones that kind of creep me out are damaged/broken ones... they always look unhappy/angry somehow.

 

When I first got Deirdre She had a particular pose she would always move back into no matter how much I adjusted her. I did not find it creepy though BJD's have always given me a good vibe. My mothers dolls however CREEEEEPY!!

 

Well...cold hands by right should spook me. But knowing that resin is cool, I won't get spooked by a cool touch from my kids.

But Ed spooked me a few weeks ago when he suddenly fell on top of me when I tried to do an up-shot of him. His body was warm, not cool. And I didn't hold him enough to allow him to warm up so much.

Then again, he's a tan doll wearing a black yukata. Maybe he had trapped some heat from the afternoon(does photoshoots in the dead of the night) or something...

 

Today two of my dolls freaked me out a little bit.
Earlier today I set my Girl Ren next to Daigo on my dresser. I had just received new hands for Ren so I posed her with her one hand messing with her hair and the other hand holding Daigo's where the hands rested between each doll. I left the room to do something with my DOI and came back no longer then 15mins. Well I walk back pass them to go sit on my bed when I noticed they weren't posed the same way. Daigo's hands were perfectly in his lap and Ren's also were in her lap. I was the only one home, so I guess this is just a case of wacky elastic. I wasn't surprised that her hand would fall from her hair, but the hands moving horizontally away from each other to sit perfectly naturally in their laps was just weird. Guess they won't be holding hands anytime soon...

 

never. not at all. though i am always terrified by those doll horry japanese movies.

 

Yeah. Those are pretty creepy. Especially if they're missing an eye. o.o


I haven't come across Jaszi talking to me other than it being in my head and imagining what she would say. Though there was this one time were I keep meaning to do her faceup and she just had this evil look in her eyes like she was mad that I haven't made her face yet. The look on her face was as if she was saying "If you don't fix my face, just remember that I know where you sleep." It was creepy and I had to set her aside.

Other than that, nothing really spooks me about her. ^^;

 

I have a theory as to why people find porcelain dolls creepy when BJDs are seen as adorable... See, porcelain dolls tend to be placed on a shelf and admired and are very rarely played with... making them seem kinda lifeless... in a creepy dolly way... BJDs on the other hand, tend to be played with and loved so even when they kick or do strange things, it's all part of their character... I have a fair few porcelain dolls, including a fairly old one with slightly damaged face paint (which could make her seem creepy)... however, I've always played with them every so often so I don't find them threatening... On the other hand, my friend has a large collection of them in her room but they are never played with... and they seem so blank to me... and can creep me out a little sometimes...

 

Yeah xD But then again, i like creepy, eerie things. And i think what flowerfangirl said was right about porcelain dolls being lifeless while bjds are played with often.

 

Well still saving for my BJD but I have been spooked many times by a porcelain doll my grandma gave to me when I was a kid.

Shes never had a happy face to begin with, it was always a sort of "Im better than you" expression.
Once I was playing with her (she wasnt as scary when I gave her attention but yes I was afraid of her from the day I got her) as if she was Cinderella and her foot accidentally broke (Irony?) so I told my mom and she said we would get it fixed later. So I put the doll in a wicker basket I had filled with stuffed toys and beanie babies (I collected the dog ones) and I put her broken shoe/foot on my jewelery box next to this really pretty music box another grandmother had given me, the music box was another porcelain girl but she was in a pink dress sitting at a piano and when you turned the little disk stand she stood on she would turn around a play a really sweet song, I loved her to death and I always used to wind her up and listen to her song when I was sad (it was so cheery ) The next day I went to school and I came home normal but when I opened the door to my room I saw my music box had crashed on the floor and the head had broken off. I remember I cried and grabbed her head and ran downstairs to tell my mom and she said to put it with the other dolls foot and we would take them both to be fixed. When I got up there I got a closer look around my room and saw the porcelain doll had fallen out of the basket some how, I chocked it up to just I must have slammed my door to hard on my way out that morning but when I looked at the doll I could have sworn she was glaring at me.

I got her feet fixed later but she just has this odd habit of getting out of where ever Ive stashed her, be it in the basket under plush toys, on a shelf in my closet that sort of thing. I believe in the paranormal but Im always skeptic of it since I think people to often think things are possessed or there's a ghost when their isnt (and people are more likely to believe you when you see a ghost if you dont claim that every damn thing is possessed and show logical truth behind some scary storys, just some odd things Ive picked up since I inherited my moms ability to sense things that others dont always get)

Either way the doll scares me a lot and I just notice the few times she doesnt seem to have moved while I'm out or asleep is when I put her on a shelf where I can see her every time I open the room, so I keep her up there even if I hate her. She still falls occasionally and I know that can easily be explained by just bumping the bookshelf or closing my door to hard but she still gives me the heebee jeebees so even though I dont want to believe shes haunted or what not I still dont like her and sometimes her "habits" seem like to many coincidences to me.

 

Once. It was dark, I was intentionally going for a creepy shot... And my one-side-too-loose/one-side-too-tight doll decided to creep and lean forward with his hands oustretched on the ground instead of the air where I'd posed them. I saw this through my camera lense after watching Shutter, and... I screamed and jumped back about 20 feet, even though his body was allowing for the strings again. I'm such a wuss. =/

 

The other day I woke up to find one of the dolls pointing at me. He hadn't been the last time I'd looked at him so that was kind of creepy XD

 

I've been spooked a few times the short time ive had my lovelies. The first time was late at night, and of COURSE i was the only one up. But I was surfing DoA (as usual) and I had my three dolls sitting in the rocking chair behind me, and all of a sudden i hear the distinct creak of my boy's wrist joint moving. So i basically froze, then whipped around to look at the dolls. It really spooked me because the ONLY way to make that sound is to physically twist his wrist, still dont know how it made that sound 0_o.... and then the second time was I finally decided to move my dolls to my room. I'd been too afraid to keep them in there with me, but I got up an ounce of courage and brought them to my room and sat them on my dresser. But when that night came it just felt like their eyes were on my back, and when i was looking at them, it looked like they were looking at me... So needless to say, I had to move them to the spare bedroom and give them back their rocking chair. I hate being spooked by my lovelies :'(

 

I've always been a doll person but I never knew I'd soon become obsessed with expensive and realistic BJDs. It took about a year of looking at other peoples' dolls to convince myself I finally wanted some of my own.

When I ordered my first BJD I was just sooo excited to get it in the mail and begin working on it. I got a phone call from my friend when I was at work the day my doll arrived in the mail. I was sooo excited to go home that I started telling my co-workers my doll had arrived and showing them pictures.

This one jerk started saying that my doll was so scary (as if a Leekeworld Mabel would eat your face off...)! He wouldn't stop talking about how he'd never keep that sort of thing in his house and how it would probably come to life and kill me at night...

I started getting nervous about the whole thing since it was my first doll and I still wasn't used to how they looked in person. When I got home I wasn't sure if I wanted to even open the box. Sure enough I worked up the bravery to unpackage the box and reveal my Leekedoll. As many of you know, Leekeworld dolls tend to buckle, so as soon as I opened the box her arm and hand shot up in my face as if she was trying to grab me. Initially I was alarmed but then I burst out laughing.

I had a similar fear the day I opened the box for my 60cm doll since people told me he was probably big enough to do some damage if he ever gets demon possessed...

Anyway, my dolls still buckle uncontrollably but have been great company. They haven't misbehaved or walked on their own once XD I don't believe in supernatural stories and am not afraid of my dolls...but some nights my imagination might convince me that I saw an evil twinkle in their eye....

Have any of you ever been afraid of your dolls at one point or another? Have you had any weird or alarming situations like the silly one I had?

Sorry if this intro was a bit long, but now I think that story is pretty funny and thought this would make an interesting thread...

(By the way...I'm interested in horror movies so that doesn't really help ease the paranoia i get every so often XD)

 

I am more willing to believe in the possibility of various supernatural goings on, and they've still never scared me. I wasn't even into dolls prior to bjds so I can't really claim that I was desensitized to dolls much as a child. At this point, I associate dolls with happy positive feelings, so being afraid of them just doesn't compute for me personally. I can see where someone could find them spooky -- they have a spark to them, but that to me is what makes them fascinating and appealing.

I've had some weird situations, but they were all funny rather than scary -- like the time Frank (my SoulDoll Paris) cracked my then roommate across the face after she had been teasing him. He then doubled over as if in laughter. Me and my roommate both cracked up -- it was hilarious and so very Frank.

Besides...if my dolls took me out, they'd have nobody to buy them stuff anymore

 

I haven't been but when I first got Nyn my friends were scared of him. And they still look at him oddly >_>

 

Here's an existing General Discussion thread on this topic: http://www.denofangels.com/forums/s...Spooked-(Directly-or-Indirectly)-By-Your-Doll

 

nope. since i was a kid, i told myself that toys were protector for the kids against evil monsters in the closet of under the bed xD and as i grew up, i sorta kept that way of thinking.
so if i feel to scared, i take my doll to sleep with me and tell myself he'll protect me!
AAAAND, my dolls are way to cute to be scary! x'3
