A husband and wife have revealed footage of a 'haunted' doll moving on its own in the dead of night - with people claiming its the 'ghost of a child playing with it'. Lee and Linzi Steer collect spooky dolls but claim this one is a 'mystery' that was sent to them with no note explaining its background - leaving the duo uncertain what could be lurking in its history.
The couple were stunned to return to their haunted objects museum in Rotherham last Friday to find the donated Victorian doll had inexplicably moved positions on its shelf. Lee, 36, claims the 'baffling' CCTV footage shows the toy slowly lean forward in a controlled motion before its head tilts slightly - even suggesting claiming he has never seen anything like it in 20 years as a real-life ghost hunter.
When the duo shared the footage on the doll 'moving like a human' on social media, other paranormal fans claimed it looks like a 'child is hugging it'. Linzi, from Rotherham, said: "This particular doll didn't come to us as haunted. People sent it but didn't particularly tell us what (had happened with her).
