One of the most popular haunted dolls in Canada, Mandy’s latest home is in the Quesnel Museum in Quesnel, British Columbia.

Her cracked face is twisted into a sinister-looking half-smile. Her eyes seem to track your movements, and electronics have a habit of acting haywire in Mandy’s presence.

She was donated to the Quesnel Museum back in 1991. Her previous owner said that she was plagued by the sound of a baby crying at night. Following the sound to her basement, she found nothing but the breeze blowing through an open window. After finding Mandy in storage in the basement, she donated the creepy vintage porcelain doll to the Quesnel Museum. Mysteriously, the phantom crying stopped once the doll was gone.

Mandy seems content to creeping out visitors and playing tricks on the staff of the museum. Disembodied footsteps have been heard in the museum, staff’s lunches go missing, only to be found later stuffed into a drawer. Small items go missing and later turn up in strange places.
