A “creepy” doll that spooked shoppers after it went on display in an Edinburgh charity shop has been snapped up by a celebrity psychic.<\/p>\n

Deborah Davies, star of Unexplained: Caught on Camera, has added “Annabelle” to her collection of around 60 “haunted dolls”.<\/p>\n

Ms Davies paid \u00a3220 in total for the toy, which has been sent from St Columba’s Hospice charity shop in Morningside to her home in Cheshire<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The former Real Housewives of Cheshire star told Sky News: “I’ll have CCTV cameras on it 24\/7 and for now I’ll keep it at my home, which is breaking my own rules.<\/p>\n

“I keep the rest of my collection a few miles away, as many of them were sent to me by followers following serious poltergeist activity.”<\/p>\n

A picture of Annabelle went viral online after the Ashton-Drake Galleries doll was displayed in the store window with a note saying “I am not creepy”.<\/p>\n

‘Somebody said they felt the doll’s eyes were following them’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Simone Varga, St Columba’s Hospice charity shop manager, said a former volunteer donated the doll as she was moving away from Edinburgh<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Ms Varga said when she opened the box, she was taken aback by how lifelike the doll looked.<\/p>\n

She told Sky News: “When I took it out and saw the legs and all that, I was like ‘these do look like human legs to me’.<\/p>\n

“It had the little shoes on, which was quite creepy, and the white bits on the nails. And the feel of it, it’s a plastic but a funny kind of plastic – a rubbery plastic.<\/p>\n

“It went viral after somebody said they felt the doll’s eyes were following them when they walked past the shop window and then that was it.”<\/p>\n

Ms Varga said she was delighted Annabelle was going to Ms Davies and thanked the TV personality for the generous donation.<\/p>\n

She said: “She will be going to a good home because Deborah obviously collects dolls.<\/p>\n

“That’s an amazing donation she’s given us. It’ll go to the good work of the hospice.”<\/p>\n

‘There may well be a soul attached to it’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms Davies said one of her social media followers alerted her to Annabelle and she believes the doll may have a “soul attached to it”.<\/p>\n

Ms Davies said: “As Edinburgh is one of the most haunted places in the UK with a wealth of history and this doll was causing people to not be able to sleep at night etc, I felt there may well be a soul attached to it.<\/p>\n

“Especially as it was in Morningside, which is well documented to be haunted.<\/p>\n

“I personally feel that the soul attached to this doll lost a child that looked very much the same as this doll. I feel it’s an old earthbound soul from that area.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n[ad_2]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
