Return of the Haunted Dolls...

Hey everyone, look who's back from the dead! It's Gavin, the Museum's former summer student. Hopefully you didn't miss me too much over last two months!

I'm here on Halloween for a quick blog post on the Museum's so-called "haunted" dolls.

The dolls on display upstairs
So the dolls. We have multiple dolls from a range of time periods from early settler families. They "live" on exhibit to represent the toys of the time so that visitors can imagine what play looked like 100 years ago. The dolls are also used as a fun point of comparison to modern dolls. 

The rumour about them being haunted doesn't have an exact start date. There have always been claims that they are haunted but I don't believe that, and I'll prove it here today. In my two Summers working at the Museum I've seen nothing supernatur ...  Just one second, I thought I heard something upstairs.

Anyway where was I... oh yeah the dolls. There is no evidence of them doing haunted things. *Crash* I will be right back I think a visitor knocked something over I'm going to go check it out.

In conclusion the dolls are definitely not haunted. Send more victims... I mean VISITORS and we WILL be seeing you SOON...😈

​Happy Halloween!
