Another haunted doll of Etsy

I bring forth Annie for your consideration.
Your response may not be one of entire happiness to see her, but nonetheless, she will bring forth an emotive response.
It is up to you to decide if you wish to confront your response to her, to delve deeper into what she shows you, to acknowledge what you are shown and given…
Annie will not be for all, she will be challenging and intimidating to some, to others, she will instantly resonate... for that, simply put, is Annie's way…
Annie is a challenge. Her will is strong, and she is very much one who will make herself known within the space she is in.
My source contacted me and discussed Annie at some length, with regards to his partner wanting the vessel removed from his home as he believes the spirit had become "fixated" on one of his children, citing various incidents in his home.
In the most recent confronting episode, he reported his partner stating that their child had recently taken to speaking intently in an odd flattened tone of voice to "empty space", (the child is 3) and also humming a strange tune never heard before, when questioned as to the song, the child stated "Annie likes it"... (Annie being the vessels' name, and not the name of any other friend/family member...)
This incident appears to be the final moment when the source's partner decided that Annie must leave, as the child did not know the vessel's name, so to bring it forth completely and without prior knowledge, has convinced my source that spirit was indeed interacting with the child.
The child's mother wanted the vessel removed immediately, having not wanted Annie in the home to begin with) and reported seeing shadows and movement in the child's bedroom, and was no longer prepared to have the vessel in the home.
My source had obtained Annie through his grandmother, who had an extensive collection of both spirited vessels and normal dolls, and was adamant that Annie was not to be discarded after her passing.
As the source's siblings refused to take Annie, my source took her, having a deep interest in the paranormal, he stated clearly to me that "it was always obvious to me Annie was haunted”…
She wears her age and scars with pride, and is cracked about the face,
and wears clothing made for her by the source's grandmother, including hand knitted items made especially for her alone.
She is watchful, and calculating.
Spirit here is very drawn to my old mirrored antique apothecary cabinet which I obtained from the UK, and in which I store many curiosity pieces, many from the 1930s and I have seen her near this piece many times…
There is an element of what I call trickery with Annie which can be disturbing. She does tend to come right up behind you and this can be disconcerting for one who is not experienced. You have a definite sense of a presence standing right behind you.
Annie appears intrigued by children...which to me validates the appearing deep interest she showed in the young child of my source, appearing to this child many times…
I have a collection of images of children, including Victorian mourning and memento mori pieces, and Annie is very frequently noted around these images…
Shadows and movement are common with this spirit. She does not give me a show of darkness and negative energy; however, she has knowledge of it.
She is quite the force to be reckoned with, and does not like to be ignored, be very aware that Annie has a way of ensuring that you keep her very foremost in your attention, and will make sure that you keep her this way.
She is not happy to be "stuck away" in a spare room, so please do not consider her if you do not wish to commit to her. The previous source stated expressly he "does not feel Annie is aggressive or negative, but just does not like to be alone." I can agree with this, Annie likes to be in the heart of the home.
The previous source speaks clearly of those within the family who disliked her, and who felt that Annie was "manipulative" and too knowing. I can see how they can say this, as she is very much a spirit who makes you aware of her, and at times you do catch her watching you very intently.
I have no doubt that this is a spirit who has an awareness of the energies which play between light and the darkness. However, she is not entrenched in the darkness; rather, she is recognisant of each. To many, Annie can be rather an enigma for there can at times be a sense of heaviness with her that she brings through.
The spirit I feel is feminine, very strong, and wants to be heard.
She is not happy she was abandoned, I get the sense of abandonment and being "left behind".
There is a sense of secrets and of hiding away, it is almost like a game to her.
I ask her to show me the darkness, but she continually brings me back towards the light and away from this darker time. She keeps the sadness and darkness very close to her.
Annie most certainly gives me feel of keeping something withheld, or a hiding of something. A secret, or of something that someone is not being told. I sense a "don't tell" with this spirit. I sense a hiding from someone, like it's a game, and a jumping out at someone.
This will be disturbing for some.
I can attest that Annie is certainly a vessel who is very interactive. She listens intently to you, and Is always watching you. Do not underestimate her and what she sees. She is always watching, make no mistake. What she reveals to you, you must be ready to see.
Again, for this reason, I recommend an experienced guardian.

Editor's note: As of this writing, Annie is still available for $697.39, so if you are a rich and unflappable guardian, why not give her a home?
