Story Of Pupa The Doll

In the past, dolls were often replicas of the children they were intended for and they looked like them in every way. Sometimes the child's hair was even implanted on the doll's head to make the resemblance even more striking. When the child's hair was not used, as in Pupa's case, hair that a stranger had sold to a doll maker was used.

For some obscure reason, these ancient dolls attract spirits. It would even seem that they sometimes become reflections of the children who loved them so much.

Pupa is a doll about 35 cm tall, her arms, legs and head are made of felt and her hair is made of real human hair. In 1920, Pupa had been given to a little girl of five or six years old who lived in Italy and she quickly became her favorite doll. She cherished her, she took her everywhere with her and in her eyes there was no doubt: the doll was alive and she had her own mind. Pupa would stay close to her throughout her life, following her on her various trips to Europe and the United States. She was his closest friend and favorite confidante. Towards the end of her life, the old lady she had become would tell her grandchildren that Pupa had spoken to her throughout the years, and that she had even saved her life.

Since the death of her former owner in 2005, Pupa has been living with a new family in the United States and she is said to have become particularly active. She really wouldn't like the little glass box it's kept in and she'd let people know. Sometimes, inside the box, the glass is covered with a strange white vapor and one discovers on the misted glass these few words which seem to be written with the fingertip of a small child: "Pupa Hates " .

Her new owners claim that Pupa can move around on her own. Sometimes when they walk past her they hear her banging on the glass and when they turn around they find the doll's hand leaning against the box, or that she has changed her position and her legs are now crossed whereas they were not before, for example. Events that are reminiscent of those of the famous haunted dolls Robert and Mandy. They also report that his facial expressions change with his moods and that his painted eyes sometimes seem to open wide and follow you as you walk past.

A member of her new family reportedly even managed to record the doll as she hoisted herself to her feet and began to walk. But when he tried to upload the video to Youtube, it was obscured by a thick whitish veil on which was scribbled childish writing: “Pupa Hates! “.

Of course, this story should be taken with due caution. There is no name, no place, no reference, just an old photo which is supposed to represent Pupa, the little girl in the story and her brother. But, anyway, it's a nice little story of friendship between a haunted doll and its owner.
