Livestream of ‘Haunted’ Doll May Possess Your Soul — Or Bore You to Death (Video)

A supposedly haunted doll is waiting to meet you on YouTube — or maybe just sit there doing nothing for a marathon, two-week live stream.

Meet “Ann,”  named after the dead girl whose spirit allegedly makes the doll cry out in loneliness with a shaky voice in the dark of night. Discovery Communications’ Destination America network and The Lineup — a site dedicated to paranormal activity and true-crime coverage — are live-streaming a camera set up to watch Ann 24-hours a day for two weeks.

The doll once belonged to a caregiver at a tuberculosis sanatarium. The woman, which The Lineup identifies as Lois, was so beloved by her patients that when they died their spirits followed her home.

So Lois naturally started a creepy doll collection so all these ghosts would have vessels to inhabit. Ann is possessed by the spirit of a 13-year-old girl of the same name, who died at the sanatarium in the early 1900s.

According to her journals, Ann was terrified of the dark and so her spirit lives on this doll, making it cry out for help. Lois’ daughter said the Ann doll once cried, with a single tear running down her cheek. Her right arm once moved up and down, as if she was waving, according to the site.
