In this case, the presenter Charlie Ross received at Marie Wessonfrom the Nottingham Haunted Museum, to find out more about the old dolls and, above all, about a macabre doll named George.

the cursed doll
The ridiculously sinister aspect of the specimen has to do with the fact that it is made with the glass eyes and hair of a deceased person.
This was confirmed when the host asked Marie “Whose hair and eyes are they?” and she replied, “From the family member who died.”
George, whose body is made of foam rubber, was from Texas and was created to honor a dead person.
During the Victorian era, families used to make a wax effigy of a loved one as a keepsake of a family member who had passed away. They were usually children.
George’s family got rid of the doll because they believed they were experiencing paranormal things because of it..
They attributed headaches and eyes to his presence. As they were able to find out with some mediums, they thought that George wanted to recover his original eyes and hair. “He can’t rest without them,” said Marie.
