OK, This Creeped Me Out.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 00:44:56 GMT

I was checking out a house online (still looking). It was on a nice property, price good, and I even looked past the ton of furniture and general stuff that had.

All good until I got to the doll room/nursery. The room had 5 full size real baby strollers with life like looking baby dolls in them. Complete with them tucked in with receiving blankets. On the floor were more real looking baby dolls in little plastic seats. Oh, there was a bassinet too.

I know people collect dolls and had these been on shelves it would have been fine. The whole room as just creepy.

I told DD to check this house out. I scrolled thru the pics and when I got to the doll room her mouth fell open and all she said was, "oh he** no. If you like it go for it but don't expect me to visit." lol

I've seen far too many horror movies regarding dolls. So that house would be a

for me to!

They won't come with the house so just look beyond them. When looking at occupied homes, you have to block out many things.

Why in the world would anyone show that in their home photos on line totally creepy

Those creepy things are a whole collectible genre. I hate them. But would I pass over the house? No.

Consider them a creepy fetish and look at the house. If there were whips and stuff would you pass over the house?

The description of that room reminds me of this commercial for Halo oranges (tangerines?).

I love it when the little girl says to her Mom, "Drive!" .

It always makes me laugh😄

I have seen completely empty houses, homes with unmade beds, staged homes, beautiful on the outside but what the heck happened inside, sparsely decorated homes, decorated so much there was not a bare spot homes. You name it.

One home had so many silk flower arrangements I lost count. Several in each room. One had an average size LR with a full sectional, 3 chairs, coffee table, end tables, a console table, TV stand. You get the idea. It looked like a furniture store.

It is an adventure for sure.

@Anonymous032819 Yup. I told DD maybe ground penetrating radar is in order to check for bodies.

Re: OK, This Creeped Me Out.

Mz iMac — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 01:24:15 GMT

@CrazyKittyLvr2 No. The bodies would be hidden within the walls & their spirits/souls inside the dolls.

it's either the owners, realtors, or whoever set it up, who are creepy. not the house. go see it if you like it

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 01:35:40 GMT

@Mz iMac Oh, geez. Thanks for planting that in my head. lol

Re: OK, This Creeped Me Out.

CrazyKittyLvr2 — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 01:39:18 GMT

@freakygirl I know the house is ok. It was just unexpected and weird.

I don't believe in ghosties and goblins.

The upside is that others will nix it and you might get a great price. Maybe request to see it IF seller cleans out that room!

geegerbee — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 02:12:26 GMT

Can you tell us where we can see the pictures of that room?

They have a few realistic looking baby dolls at my mom's memory care. They can bring great comfort to some and helps to soothe the residents and makes them feel needed and connected.
There are quite a few collectors out there maybe even people you know. It's not my cup of tea but to each his own.

cindyNC — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 06:05:39 GMT

@CrazyKittyLvr2 do you have a link to the house? I'm kind of curious. I love looking at properties online.

Lindsays Grandma — Sun, 23 Aug 2020 09:37:58 GMT

That would be one big turn off for me.

It may be as innocent as can be but

it is definitely creepy.

@GenXmuse I read this thread and my first thought was "wow I hope these people never meet my Mom's family" lol.

My Mom's family and extended family were all very poor sharecroppers that lived in various shacks in the rural southeast growing up. All the families had a large number of kids because frankly it was free labor when working the farms. Forget having toys, they were lucky to have shoes and mostly attended school barefoot. No indoor plumbing, electricity, etc.

The girls would make their own dolls out of corn cobs and tobacco spools. Those homespun dolls couldn't compete with the "real" dolls other girls in their school would play with and show off. My Mom and her sisters talk about how they always felt inferior, and kids being cruel, they had to endure lots of teasing over their homemade toys.

Many of those young girls would later grow up, become a little more financially stable, and collect real dolls. In my immediate family I still have two aunts that have dedicated rooms in their house for their dolls. My own Mom went through that phase, but thankfully it passed.

I always found it creepy too. I do understand though, how at least in my extended family, the urge to have all those dolls has roots in a very poor childhood.
