How did such an innocent looking doll become the source of terror around the world? "It's not a real doll, mummy. It wants you to think it's a girl's doll, but it's not. It has a black heart." "Vincent" A victim of Harold's attacks 2014-2015 What is the truth behind this seemingly harmless doll? Is it haunted? Is it cursed? Possessed? Or are the stories about it nothing more than a hoax? After winning the doll on eBay in 2004, Anthony Quinata decided to search for the answer to these questions. Starting from scratch, he described it as a "1,000 piece puzzle with 1,000 pieces missing and no picture to go on." In 2005, convinced that something diabolical was going on with the doll, he took it out of the public eye, hiding it in a storage unit. In 2013, realizing that interest in the doll was still high, he decided to resume his investigation, and his quest to find the truth; no matter where it led him. Determined to separate fact from fiction, his search ultimately led him to a confrontation with Evil itself and the discovery of who really owns the doll. "Extremely creepy and unsettling.

"In 1904, a doll was given as a gift to a young boy in Key West, Florida. The boy gave the doll his own name - Robert - and the two became inseparable. The doll was blamed for many things, and "I didn't do it - Robert did it" became a catchphrase in Key West. People heard the doll giggle and saw the doll move without help from any human. Voodoo was suspected. Today Robert resides in a protective case at a Key West museum where hundreds of visitors each year experience things not normally associated with dolls. The doll's origins have been questioned for years. This book reveals Robert's true origins: legends surrounding the doll are traced back to their original sources, and the true story of Robert the Doll is revealed."--Amazon.
