Our past experiences and possessions, no matter how seemingly insignificant, can have a profound impact on our present. Maeve, the speaker in this podcast excerpt, shares her personal story about a porcelain doll named Sally that she received as a child. Despite having no recollection of where it came from, the doll became a source of fear and fascination for her. Her skepticism towards religious beliefs and her love for collecting dolls set the stage for this mysterious object to leave a lasting impression. This incident, along with her unconventional upbringing and spiritual inclinations, shaped her into the person she is today. Although she wishes she knew the origin of Sally, she acknowledges that the mystery surrounding her might be a part of what makes her unique.

The speaker had a profound and unexplained fear of getting rid of a doll from her childhood, despite her father dismissing her concerns. This fear persisted throughout her life, even as she grew older and became more skeptical of supernatural beliefs. The speaker's intense feeling that the doll wanted to watch her or be near her led her to carry it with her from room to room, and she refused to get rid of it despite her increasing disbelief in the supernatural. The experience left her with a sense of unease and a feeling that something bad would happen if she disobeyed the doll's unspoken wishes. The speaker's father dismissed her fears, adding to the tension between them. This experience followed her into adulthood and continued until she was in university during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our fears and beliefs shape our experiences: Beliefs and experiences can make irrational fears seem real to others, highlighting the importance of respecting each other's emotions.
Our fears and anxieties can be influenced by our subconscious beliefs and experiences. Maeve's fear of a seemingly haunted doll next to her bed was a source of discomfort for her, leading her to cover its eyes to alleviate her anxiety. However, during a moment of drunken humor, her friend Sania exposed the doll's eyes, causing a reaction from a spiritually-inclined guest. Although Maeve tried to dismiss her fear as a joke, the incident served as a reminder that her fear was real to someone else, adding to her anxiety. This experience highlights the power of our beliefs and how they can shape our experiences, even if they seem irrational to others. It also underscores the importance of understanding and respecting each other's fears and experiences.

Dismissing unexplained experiences can lead to fear and regret. The speaker shares an encounter with a seemingly haunted doll, which she initially dismissed as a coincidence. However, after the doll's light bulb exploded when she texted a friend, she felt a wave of fear and intuition that she tried to ignore. Later, she had a similar conversation with a friend about a haunted doll from their childhood, and the experience sparked her memory. The friend took the situation seriously and suggested cleansing the space. This experience taught the speaker that ignoring intuition and unexplained phenomena can lead to fear and regret, and that taking experiences seriously can lead to growth and understanding.
A haunted doll's persistent presence: Fear can make us cling to objects and despite unsettling experiences, people may resort to spiritual cleansing or occult rituals to resolve the issue.
The speaker's experience with a seemingly haunted doll led her to believe it might be possessed by a spirit or bad energy. She attempted to get rid of it using spiritual cleansing methods, but the doll continued to move back into her line of sight. Despite her growing fear and frustration, she couldn't bring herself to throw it away due to an innate fear of making the situation worse. The speaker's experience highlights the power of fear and the human tendency to cling to objects despite unsettling experiences. It also demonstrates the speaker's resourcefulness and determination to find a solution to the problem. Ultimately, she concluded that the doll might be haunted and sought out occult rituals to resolve the issue.

The speaker's plan to get rid of a spirit involved combining various methods and bringing a skeptical friend for support. However, the day of the ritual was filled with strange occurrences, including a malfunctioning shower and the disappearance of her phone, which she later found under the bed. The feeling of being physically pushed crossed a line for her, making the experience feel more real and less explainable in her head. The ritual did not go as planned, and the strange occurrences added to her belief that there might be some truth to the paranormal. Despite her friend's skepticism, the speaker's experience left her feeling shaken and uncertain.
