Reserved Kayla 7/9 Florence Haunted Doll ~ 19" Antique Kid Leather Body "Minerva" Reproduction Doll ~Paranormal ~ OLD Soul ~ Self-Aware ~ Intelligent Responses

Florence is one of my favorite vessels because she has really stumped us for sooooo long, and we only just figured her out. We KNEW she was older than she appeared, and we knew we all felt as if she had passed on right before the turn of the century, but something was not right.  It felt as if there was something she wanted us to know, and we were just not getting it.  Not until this morning.  I was planning to find her some clothes that perfectly matches her personality, and when I undressed her, I discovered this VERY OLD, kid leather, wood-jointed body.  I was truly shocked.  All other "clues" pointed to a 1950s-made cotton dress and a 1970s-era painted bisque head and limbs.  But I was very wrong!  It looks like someone painted OVER her metal Minerva head! Underneath that paint, is a 100+ year old doll! Maybe even older! Her body is certainly older.  Florence has details that are so beautiful.  She is truly an amazing vessel.  And seeing how old she is underneath her clothes is actually amazing.  KNOWING that she is an ancient Minerva doll from so long ago makes SO much sense after her weird evaluations.  I swear it took us YEARS to come to a conclusion on her because we felt something was missing from our info.  Florence is as beautiful and weird as any one of us.  We originally got her from her previous caregiver, a woman in San Fransisco who "knew" she was haunted, but never tried to figure her all the way out.  The woman had assumed that the doll was haunted by her sister, who had died in the 1970s.  The whole time she was caring for this vessel, she thought the ghost inside might have been her own dead sister.  She cared for her for decades, talking to her, but never "hearing her" back, feeling emotional connections, but never trying to confirm who she was.  She told us she was scared to find out.  She was not a "haunted doll" person and she was scared of what she might learn.  I feel like she was afraid to find out that this spirit was NOT her sister.  She ended up giving the doll to us.  For the first few months, we kept finding out tidbits of her life, but they were not matching up to what we had been told of the vessel.  We all felt the spirit was WAY older than what she wanted us to know.  I finally confirmed that this morning, and saved us from many more months of trying to figure her out.  Finally!  Florence was a young woman who lived in the San Fransisco area at the turn of the century.  She died of cholera at the age of 24, after having just lost her husband to "fevers" and her infant son as well.  She had lived a hard life, but it did not phase her.  She had come from a good family, and she had been happy.  She might have owned this vessel!  Florence has no regrets about her life or her death.  She is extremely self-aware and can talk to us about everything she ever went through.  What I appreciate most about her, is her knowledge of local events, which are basically "historical facts" at this point  She is highly telepathic and can really push her message right into your head.  She has highly intelligent responses on the spirit box, and with EVPS.  She talks to herself and to the other spirits here.  We heard her voice gently singing "cowboy songs" into the night.  We get a lot of activity from this girl, hot and cold spots, the sounds of bare feet on the wood floor.  We hear her name as if other spirits are calling for her.  She has a thing for bells, she rings them if they are near.  She will rearrange books on the shelf next to her.  She has moved small items and messed with my knick-knacks.  I adore her.  She is a one-of-a-kind vessel and a very intelligent, self-aware woman.  Florence knows she is dead.  She knows she is a ghost. She uses every tool we give her, and she loves the pendulum too.  I hope she finds the perfect home.

IMPORTANT - If you look at a spirit doll and feel a tug in your heart, that is how you know the doll is meant for you. You will feel it in your soul. I can reserve a doll for you for up to 2 weeks while you decide. Email me with any questions you have regarding this doll, or haunted dolls in general. 

 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!
