Dolly (Dorothea) Haunted Doll ~ 17" Contemporary Porcelain Vessel ~ Paranormal ~ Died in 1929 (Murder/Suicide)

Dorothea prefers to be called Dolly.  She has ALWAYS gone by Dolly.  She came to us from her previous caregiver in Chicago a few years back.  Her vessel was found in an apartment clean out after the renter moved away.  Dolly had lived in the same building back in the 1920s.  She had been a newlywed back then, recently married to a banker.  She was GOING PLACES.  She had come from a small town, her parents were wealthy, but she really had not dreamed of moving to the big city.  She just wanted kids and a house.  The apartment was supposed to be temporary.  Dolly was spoiled, sheltered, and bratty.  She has a HUGE attitude.  She never talked to her husband the way she spoke to her parents.  But I think she would have eventually.  Her husband was a decent man, there had been no real sparks and no special love story, and the marriage was somewhat arranged by her politician father.  Dolly knew she could make it work.  She was NOT going to disappoint her father.  Dolly's husband worked a lot of hours.  Which she felt was strange because banks closed at 5 pm.  He would not come home until the early morning hours most days.  She chalked it up to him working so hard.  She was young and naive.  Then the crash of 29 hit.  Her husband Michael came home early that day in a panic.  He looked really terrible, she thought he might be sick.  She had not heard anything because she did not have the radio on that day.  Michael went into the bedroom and was rustling around in there for a long time.  She made him a sandwich and went into the bedroom.  Michael had been putting his shotgun together, loading it, and crying.  She was now officially scared out of her mind.  She had NEVER seen a man cry before.  She begged him to tell her what was going on, and he did not say a word.  He pointed the gun at her and fired.  Then he pointed it at himself.  She died in a panic, which anchored her to this realm.  And to the building.  She remembers watching HIS body be carried away by medics but can not recall seeing her own.  She remembers SCREAMING at the people and them not hearing her.  We think it is possible she went into shock and denial for a few decades before realizing she was stuck.  She vaguely recalls other people living in the apartment and her just "being there" but not really noticing them.  As time went on, she began to notice how lonely she was.  Dolly doesn't like to be alone.  At all.  I mean, would YOU after going through all that? She needs to be in the same room as a living person as often as possible.  I totally get it.  She is rather stuck in her trauma, first from the shock of the murder-suicide and then the decades of being a ghost in a constantly changing apartment building.  I can imagine how weird and strange that would be to a naive spoiled Southern girl.  Dolly has a weird sassy attitude and a quick mouth.  It's funny because we KNOW she never spoke to her father or her hubby the way she speaks to us.  She is shocked by the rate of change she has witnessed in present times.  She can not believe how FREE women are compared to her day.  She finds it fascinating that women can just BE SINGLE and NOT have kids.  She really thought that was the ONLY way to be a woman because that was how it was taught back then.  I am reminded of Emma Frances Angell Drake in 1902's What a Young Wife Ought to Know: "From the wedding day, the young matron should shape her life to the probable and desired contingency of conception and maternity. Otherwise, she has no right or title to wifehood."  CAN YOU IMAGINE?!?!  We have come a long way.  Poor Dolly.  I feel bad for her.  Oh, I almost forgot, she is so fascinated with our modern times that she loves to "borrow" things.  Makeup, lipsticks, perfume samples, candies, anything she can take, she will take it.  It wont be hard to find because she keeps it all around her vessel.  We do not think she has a stealing problem, we think she is just SO fascinated by modern things that she likes to mess with them.  She does it A LOT.  She does it so often that it would not surprise me if someone caught it on camera.  When you call her out on the stealing she gets REALLY prissy and her attitude goes off the rails.  But then she snaps back to reality.  I think she realizes that her spoiled bratness is showing.  She could do her own YouTube channel.  Dolly is very active in terms of talking to us, hearing us, and using telepathy to reply to us.  She HAS to hear us talking to her or she thinks we forgot about her.  She moves things rings bells and presses buttons to get our attention.  She is quite needy in this respect.  Dolly needs a friend who will understand that she really HATES to be left alone and wants to be in the same room as her caregiver as often as possible. Dolly likes music and radio shows from the 1920s era,  She would do well with a history buff.  She knows quite a bit about politics and girly things from the 20s.   Dolly has used every communication tool we have offered her.  She is an impressive Dreamweaver and likes to share music and memories.  She really feels more like a teenager with an attitude than a young adult because of her sheltered childhood.  Being the Mayor's daughter does that to a girl.  You can tell she was probably a bully in her girl's school.

 FYI:  In my old shop, we had to have a disclaimer explaining that haunted items were "for entertainment purposes only" and this disclaimer is needed for some credit card processors as well - However, you need to know, as a potential buyer/adopter that I am NOT responsible for any paranormal activity that you might experience in your home once you adopt a spirit.  This is serious and many people who do not know what they are doing have had some pretty overwhelming experiences usually due to their own lack of knowledge or understanding about what it means to be a spirit keeper.  If you are under the age of 18, please do some research before trying to adopt a spirit.  As a seller, I will repeat, there are NO REFUNDS on haunted dolls - I will not guarantee that you will have the same experiences as I have had.  but if you know your stuff, do your research, and are prepared for anything, then you will!
