A haunted doll is a handmade or manufactured doll or stuffed animal that is reported to be cursed or possessed in some way. The earliest report of a haunted doll goes back to Ancient Egypt where the enemies of Ramses III attempted to use wax images of his likeness to bring about his death. The dolls used in this ritual were said to be living and would curse anyone who bore their resemblance. The ancient Egyptian poppet, effigy and voodoo dolls are often said to be cursed because of their long history of being used to place curses on other people and their association with the occult.

The earliest haunted dolls were poppets, effigies and voodoo objects which were created by early peoples for either religious or ceremonial purposes. These traditional objects were later acquired by various civilizations for mystical purposes or the occult. In Rome dolls were used quite often in magical rituals to represent a connection to a god or goddess. Egyptian priests and magicians often used poppets for ceremonial purposes, to rid the body of evil or to place curses on those who went against the will of the Gods.

Poppets have historically been used to place curses on other members of a community for religious or traditional purposes. Some of the earliest effigies were used by African, Native American, and European cultures. The European poppet has its roots in early Germanic and Scandinavian tribes which used them for ceremonial purposes. Modern day Wiccans have adapted this practice for their own uses. Most Wiccans use a poppet as a symbolic representation of a person. Spells and other actions are performed on the poppet to transfer whatever might be affecting the targeted individual out of their body in something like a healing ritual. The nkisi or bocio are traditional effigy-like dolls of West and Central Africa. These dolls were often used in specific ceremonies but could also be used in healing rituals or to bind evil spirits. Voodoo dolls are fairly modern novelty items. Their concept is thought to be based on European poppet dolls.

Haunted dolls are listed for sale on sites like Craigslist and eBay. There are also standalone haunted doll purchasing websites, and sites dedicated to the “adoption” of haunted dolls which allow community members to list haunted dolls and trade them with other members. Haunted dolls are often collected to take on tour as part of cursed object exhibitions. More recently, people have started making YouTube channels about their haunted dolls. There are people who also record the paranormal activity of the haunted dolls they collect and put them online for other people to see.
