nying persona and props.

The possessed doll has been a feature in the haunted house for the past two years. The doll herself nurtures her own baby doll, who has a few injuries from a mysterious accident. The possessed doll finds tour guests on the second floor and begs them to stay and play with her. Before you see her skipping down the hallway, you can hear the echo

of her eerie voice singing “Ring Around the Rosie�. The doll has a fuzzy friend she plays with too.

When she was younger she played with her stuffed baby bunny, but as they grew up he became the bloody bunny. Together, they roam the house and taunt the guests in hopes that maybe one day someone will chose to stay and play with them forever.
