Reserved Emily 1/13 Sister Rose Carmel ~ 17" Porcelain Nun Doll ~ Paranormal ~ Comes with Photograph ~ Strange History

Sister Rose Carmel came to us with the photograph you see in her pictures.  A friend of a friend contacted Lisa about 7 years ago, and he had found the doll with his mother's things.  He told us he was related to Elnora, the woman in the photograph, she was an aunt of his.  And there had always been rumors of his aunt Elnora and her friend Rose, that they had "gotten in trouble" (got caught being gay) in high school, and Rose was forced to join the convent.  He and his mother had lived in Aunt Elnora's home ever since Elnora had passed years ago.  He had not been allowed to go into her room, and he had always assumed Aunt Elnora's ghost was in there since he had heard noises as a boy.  He only peeked in one time, and he saw a doll on the dresser who scared the hell out of him.  He moved out as soon as he was 17 and never really went back for more than a daytime visit.  He got the creeps from the house ever since he was little.  When his mother died, he had to go into his aunt's forbidden bedroom.  In it, he found an altar set up, with the doll you see here, roses, candles, and other ephemera, and it made him believe that someone had been caring for that altar for some time.  He thinks it was his aunt's dying wish, and perhaps a condition on inheriting the house, that his mother keeps up the altar on the dresser.   He also thinks that this doll is a more modern version of the one he saw when he was a boy.  He thinks the old one may have disintegrated and this one was put there to replace it, he thinks his aunt and his mother were "up to no good" and "messing with the occult".  He told us that when he cleaned up the altar, he was plagued by "strange visions" and "weird voices" and he thought he was going insane.  He said he felt like he shouldn't have ever touched it, and he thought he could hear both his dead mother, his dead aunt, and another woman screaming at him.  It caused a severe panic attack and he could not catch his breath.  It was days before he could go back into the house. By that time he had researched some things and knew he had to get the doll out of the house.  He contacted a friend who ended up contacting a friend of Lisa's and we got the doll and the photograph.  When we first got her, when we opened the box, we felt a sense of relief, as if she knew why she was here, and she was safe.  Sister Rose has never meant to scare anyone.  She is the epitome of lost love and being born in the wrong generation.  Think about it, she fell in love with a girl before it was socially acceptable to do so.  Not only that, but that girl loved her so much that she made an altar for her.  They visited each other often, as you can see in the photograph, but they were not allowed to be together, there was always a chaperone of some sort.  Sister Rose died of a broken heart, she was only 35 when she passed away in her sleep.  Elnora lived another 30 years pining away for her lost love.  It is devastating.  As for Sister Rose, we have confirmed that it is her inside of the vessel, this is actually the 3rd vessel she has had, and we have confirmed that Elnora gave her the first 2 vessels, and the man's mother offered her the 3rd and final vessel.  Sister Rose is stuck, she is very bound to the vessel.  She doesn't think of it as a bad thing.  She thinks of it as being bound in love.  She can speak to Elnora.  She sometimes feels as if she is 2 people in there because Elnora is with her.  Rose and Elnora are very communicative, we sometimes hear two women talking, chatting for hours.  Sister Rose feels like she is blessed with the ability to be in two realms at once as if she has a message for the world and wants to share it.  She is very joyous.  We have heard weird sounds like faint bells and strange musical notes multiple times in every room she is in.  She uses the PSB7 very easily and always tends to give us positive messages, she will pass along messages from Elnora and others we ask to talk to.  She doesn't like the Ouija, she thinks it's "evil".  She has a thing for religious iconography and trinkets from the church, and she has a thing for all sorts of crystals.  She likes glittery objects and says she is "passing gifts to Elnora". She is a unique spirit, it's like having two in one.  We adore her, we honor her and Elnora's struggle.  She would do well in a home that will give her gifts and talk to her every now and then.  Sister Rose feels like she is here for a reason now, and she has yet to find out what it truly is, but she is ready.  She has been here for about 7 years and I have loved her to pieces, but I feel like she (and Elnora) are ready to find a forever home. 

About the doll, she is a 17" nun doll and she will come with the photograph in the picture and a doll stand.
