~HAUNTED AND POSSESSED OBJECTS!~
AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!

(Above: Annabelle the Doll)

Have you ever had an object that seemed to have had a mind of it's own? Did it disappear and reappear in a different spot? Did it give off a "bad vibe"? Were there strange noises coming from it? Maybe your object was, indeed, possessed!!! Who knows?! I have always found the topic of "Haunted and Possessed Objects" very interesting. When I was a kid, I had this four foot barbie doll that I got one year for Christmas. And I swear it's head would turn at night. Haha, maybe it was just my imagination, being a little kid and all. But still, this subject is very interesting. Here is some information about "Haunted and Possessed Objects"...

WHAT ARE "HAUNTED/POSSESSED OBJECTS"?

Quote:

"Description : inanimate objects that move, make noise or change shape. Sometimes a particular piece of furniture will refuse to change place, even moving in front of the owner's eyes. Other notorious haunted objects are the various means of transport ; phantom ships, ghost trains that rumble through the night on their old runs, even if the railway line has been removed."

"Can a seemingly harmless and inanimate object such as an old doll, watch or piece of furniture contain the psychic energy of its previous owners? Can everyday objects be haunted? In a recent visit to Ebay I happened to find several supposedly haunted items being sold. Everything from old tools and photographs to dolls and jewellery, all of it purportedly haunted. There was even a haunted mansion for sale in Colorado. It seems that there is no shortage of haunted, cursed and generally spooky stuff for sale these days. But do these so-called "haunted" or "cursed" objects really possess the energy of the dead?"

"Some objects are said to be cursed, other seem to be animated by spirits. Other notoriously haunted objects are vehicle; phantom ships, ghost trains that steam through the night air on their old runs, even if the railway line has been long removed. Some famously haunted objects have fascinated the public consciousness for years. We have all heard about The Hope Diamond, the Flying Dutchman and King Tuts tomb, all of which are reportedly cursed or haunted items, which many feel retain the essence of long dead souls."

"Haunted objects or not a common as haunted houses or land, but there have been many stories told about objects that have a spirit attached to them. Some people believe that only antiques can be possessed by a spirit, but newer objects can also be haunted. Antiques have been in existence for a longer period of time, and have probably had more owners, so they have a higher chance of possession. Newer objects haven’t had as many owners and have less chance of being haunted. Items that have been reported as possessed include; paintings, furniture, dolls, tins, tools, photos, and jewelry."

"We know that locations can be haunted, and hold residual energy from the past.Haunted objects can also do exactly the same thing. It can be a piece of antique jewelery furniture,mirrors,pianos,books and even recycled building materials. Often taken from old abandoned buildings,the material has now become very popular with some new construction of homes. Almost anything can have a spirit attachment, good or bad."

"Typically the haunting will start when the object is brought into a home, a ghost may be witnessed lurking close to the object, it can also seem to have a life of its own.such as a piano that plays by itself,or a mirror that reflects an apparition,or ghostly mist.Sometimes the object will bring streaks of bad luck to the home or family. Just as a haunting at a property,the reasons for a haunted object are many and vary. As a scientific paranormal team, we like to have historical data to backup, all our findings, we find it sometimes difficult, to find answers, for haunted objects. Unless of course the object has been with someone who was important to history, not much is recorded on antiques, that have been in the possession of ordinary people."

WHAT ARE SOME "HAUNTED/POSSESSED OBJECTS" THEORIES?

Quote:

"Theory : Some objects are said to be cursed, other would be animated by spirits. Regarded haunted houses, some claims that the former inhabitants are still attached to what belonged to them in their former life on earth. So if a human ghost is not friendly towards you, perhaps it is because you changed something in their house like the carpet in their favorite room or something else that will change and alter the things that belonged to them in life."

Quote:

"One theory of how an object can become possessed by a deceased person is that people human thoughts and emotions contain energy that is absorbed in to the objects that are near us. The items keep the energy that they absorb. It is said that when the bond between the person and the object is strong, the object will have a larger chance of showing ghostlike behaviors. If the previous owner was giving off bad energy to the objects around him, there may be negative energies associated with the object. The hauntings may be scary and/or violent. Many times if there were no negative energies absorbed by the object, the hauntings are friendlier."

HAUNTED/POSSESSED OBJECT EXAMPLE:

~ANNABELLE THE DOLL!!!~

(Above: Annabelle the Doll)

Quote:

"In the 1970's, a mother strolling along the street walked into a hobby store, and purchased a large Raggedy-Anne doll as a present for her daughter's birthday. Recently moved away to college, living away from home wasn't easy and Donna loved the little doll. Every morning she placed AnnaBelle on her bed after making it. But Annabelle didn't stay in bed for very long."

Quote:

"The disturbance began in the home when the girls discovered a piece of chocolate candy mysteriously left on the stereo in the living room. None of the tenants had bought chocolate, and they were perplexed as to how it had gotten there. Strange messages were found written in a child's handwriting scrawled on paper. Objects were often moved about the home, never being found where they had originally been left. It seemed as if somebody... or something was sharing the house with the frightened tenants. After a month of unusual occurrences the girls decided that they needed help. They investigated the history of the property, and also contacted a local medium. They discovered that before the apartments had been built on the land, a young girl named 'AnnaBelle' had died on the property. AnnaBelle used to love playing in the field... they were happy times for her, and her spirit had never left. The medium explained that little AnnaBelle's spirit was still there, and responsible for the occurrences in the Home. AnnaBelle asked if she could stay with them, by moving into the doll that Donna's mom had bought for her birthday. Not knowing what else to do, the girls said yes, and eventually even renamed the doll AnnaBelle."

"In 1970 a mother purchased an antique Raggedy Ann Doll from a hobby store. The doll was a present for her daughter Donna on her birthday. Donna, at the time, was a student in college, preparing to graduate with her nursing degree and resided in a tiny apartment with her room mate Anngie (a nurse as well). Pleased with the doll Donna placed it on her bed as a decoration and didn't give it a second thought until a few days later. With in that time both Donna and Angie noticed that there appeared to be something very strange and creepy about the doll. The doll apparently moved on its own, relatively unnoticeable movements at first, like a change in position, but as time passed the movement became more noticeable. Donna and Angie would come home to find the doll in a completely different room from which they had left it . Sometimes the doll would be found crossed legged on the couch with its arms folded , other times it was found upright, standing on its feet, leaning against a chair in the dining room. Several times Donna, placing the doll on the couch before leaving for work, would return home to find the doll back in her room on the bed with the door closed."

Quote:

"One night Donna came home to find the doll had moved again, this time it was on her bed. Donna had come to find that this was typical of the doll but some how she knew this time it was different, something wasn't right. A sense of fear came over her when she inspected the doll and saw what looked like blood drops on the back of its hands and its chest. Seemingly, from no where, a liquidy red substance had appeared on the doll. Scared and desperate Donna and Angie decide it was time to seek expert advice."

Quote:

"Lou scoured the room for forced entry but nothing was out of place. But as he got close to the doll he got the distinct impression that somebody was behind him. Spinning around he was quick to realize that nobody else was there. Then in flash he found himself grabbing for his chest, doubled over, cut and bleeding. His shirt was stained with blood and upon opening his shirt there on his chest was what looked to be 7 distinct claw marks, three vertically and four horizontally, all were hot like burns. These scratches healed almost immediately, half gone the next day, fully gone by day two."

Quote:

"The spirit or in this case an inhuman demonic spirit, was essentially in the infestation stage of the phenomenon. It first began moving the doll around the apartment by means of teleportation to arouse the occupants curiosity in hopes that they would give it recognition.Then predictably the mistake of bringing a medium into the apartment to communicate with it. The inhuman spirit now able to communicate through the medium, preyed on the girls emotional vulnerabilities by pretending to be a rather harmless, lost young girl with which during the seance, was allowed permission from Donna to haunt the apartment. Insofar as demonic is a negative spirit, it then set about causing patently negative phenomena to occur; it aroused fear through the weird movements of that doll, it brought about the materialization of disturbing handwritten notes, the symbolic drops of blood on the doll, and ultimately it even attacked Lou leaving behind the symbolic mark of the beast. The next stage of the infestation phenomenon would have been complete human possession. Had these experiences lasted another 2 or 3 more weeks the spirit would have completely possessed, if not harmed or killed one or all of the occupants in the house. "
