The Baby Doll
In rural southern Illinois a toy company began selling “realistic” baby dolls to expectant mothers. But apparently after the mother had her child the toy baby would start crying. Eventually the “rocking motion” advertised to calm it down wouldn’t work, and you couldn’t get it to stop without shaking it. Eventually when it started crying the parent would have to beat it, and the beatings and thrashings would have to get harder and harder to get it to be quiet. The only thing that seemed to shut the baby doll up permanently was the bash its head against the wall to destroy whatever mechanism triggered the crying. On more than one occasion though, neighbors called the authorities to report child abuse, and when the police arrived they found the bloody remains of infants smeared across the walls and the floor. In most cases the mother couldn’t understand why the police were there, she just “got rid of the stupid doll” as she rocked a baby-shaped bundle in her arms.

This has always been one of my favorites. <3 Very creepy.

This one was interesting but a bit confusing. Was the doll a live baby and she just got confused? or the doll looked to real that it actually had blood.

@ hippie:
The ambiguity is what makes this creepy. It’s not known whether or not the baby was real, thus the “insanity” tag.

that is very creepy and so cool and yet tells a moral

This one was awesome. Very, very good.

To Hippie:
The mother becomes confused and we are given the impression that she has confused the baby for the doll. Thus the doll becomes the baby and insanity insues.

i love this one so much. theres also a movie about this only the mother burries what she thinks is the doll in the back yard, only she burries her baby instead.

my interpretation was always that the mother killed her real baby because she got it confused with the toy.

Hello.
Fine fiction.

I saw that movie! It’s called first born, right? I watched it with my mom and although I liked it my mom refused to accept that the mom actually burried the baby instead of the doll

This one was actually in a movie. Nice one anyway.

Epic story, made me hide all of my little brother’s baby dolls.
P.s. - good moral as well.

This reminds me of the story that Saya in Underworld once posted (http://sayainunderworld.blogspot.com/2007/09/case-that-chilled-psychiatrist-to-bone.html)
about the woman who couldn’t accept the reality of her recluse son’s death and, subsequently, replaced him with a mannequin doll.
It makes one wonder about the limits of the human mind.

This is actually one of my fears.Sometimes I daydream about beating up my enemies and saving someone I like, but no matter how hard I try I suddenly imagine beating down the person I like too.

I don’t understand what the moral is?
Don’t buy baby dolls if you have a tendency to go insane? o.O

Yeah there are a lot of different interpretations but this creepy pasta does really make me think of a black and white scene, and the song Ave Maria playing in the background xD

That’s not creepy, it’s just sad. T_T
I’ve never been able to stand the thought of child abuse. This has irreparably scarred me. T_T!!
September 12th, 2008 at 2:13 pm
Sad and creepy!
Goooooooood Pasta

Oh man, this totally struck a nerve. I’m a relatively new aunt, and I tell you what, taking care of kids is nothing like they teach you when you’re expecting. Combine that with post-partum depression and you’ve got a real potential problem on your hands.
I can see a depressed mother preferring the doll over the real child. The doll shuts the hell up when you rock it. Wouldn’t it be nice if that worked with real babies? XD
But seriously. Majorly creepy. Oy.
