A doll named ‘Elizabeth’ residing at the Haunted Objects Museum in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, England, has earned the chilling reputation of being the ‘most haunted’ doll in the world. The doll, purchased for £866 (around ₹ 94,000) from eBay by museum owner Lee Steer, has allegedly attacked 17 men, sparking terror among visitors and staff.
Lee Steer, a paranormal investigator, claims to have experienced a burning sensation on his back, which he believes was caused by Elizabeth marking a pentagram on his skin. Other individuals have reported experiencing physical attacks from the doll, including a shirt being pulled by the unseen force of Elizabeth’s spirit. At least 15 men have alleged that they were scratched by the doll, adding to the growing list of unsettling incidents.
Beyond physical attacks, Elizabeth is also believed to be responsible for a range of disturbing phenomena within the museum. The doll has been linked to triggering fire alarms, moving objects, and causing electronic disturbances in videos.
Lee Steer believes that the doll’s actions are fueled by a deep-seated dislike for men, particularly those who are married. He notes that while women are present, the doll’s activity is limited to moving objects and flickering lights. However, the doll’s aggression towards men intensifies, particularly after the addition of items from the popular horror film series ‘The Conjuring’ to the museum’s collection.
Lee recounts a terrifying incident during an investigation with his partner, Sarah, where he felt a burning sensation on his neck, which later shifted to his back, revealing scratches. This further fueled his suspicion of the doll’s animosity towards men. He believes the doll might harbor resentment towards men due to past mistreatment or a tragic wedding, leading to its haunting behavior.
Lee also describes a puzzling incident where a perfume bottle mysteriously flew off a shelf in Sarah’s presence, indicating the doll’s unpredictable and potentially dangerous nature. The exact reason behind Elizabeth’s actions remains shrouded in mystery. However, Lee speculates that the doll’s jealousy could be a contributing factor, as she might be feeling overlooked with the addition of new, popular items from ‘The Conjuring’ to the museum’s collection.
Despite the terrifying incidents, Lee Steer stands by his belief that Elizabeth is the most haunted doll in the world. The museum owner’s chilling account has sparked widespread interest and fascination, leaving many wondering about the true extent of the doll’s powers and the secrets it holds.
