Thanks For The Hug

I'm not sure I believe in ghosts. I've never seen one (and would prefer to keep it that way!) but I love to scare the crap out of myself. I normally do this by watching ghost shows on TV. One of my favorites is Celebrity Ghost Stories. The people on the show can very loosely be described as celebrities and are mostly actors. Since pretending is their JOB, it's easier for me to watch and not really believe them than watch some of the other shows where they have video of things being thrown across the room and doors closing on their own.

One day, I was watching while folding laundry and Elisabeth Rhom was on. She was a favorite of mine from Law and Order so I tuned it. She talked about how she collected antique dolls (To me is just asking for some kind of trouble. I am not at all a fan of dolls. I mean really, who needs those creepy things around?) She kept all of these dolls in a room that she used as her office.

Demon Antique Baby is watching you....

Anyway, she had been gone working for several months so her house had been empty. When she came back, the room felt different and her dog wouldn't even go close to the door. A few days later, she held a party and the house was filled with people. Afterwards, she went into the doll room/office to work and one doll said to her, "Thanks for the hug."

Let me write that again in case you missed it. One of her creep-tastic antique dolls turned to her and said "Thanks for the hug."

She explained how the spirit inside the doll had been lonely and was thanking her for filling the house with happiness again. How sweet!

Oh no, wait. It's super CREEPY! And it completely freaked me out.

During the commercial break, I went to the girl's room to put some clothes away and saw this:

If Dora ever talks to me, that explorer is GONE!
