Episode 56: Robert The Doll

Don’t Scare Claire

Robert the Doll is one of the most famous paranormal artefacts in the world, with stories of his strict rules and warnings of a potential curse being drilled into any visitor who takes a chance at the Fort East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida.

But how did Robert the Doll end up in a display case over 100 years after his creation? And why is he surrounded by letters of apology, with more arriving every single day?
