00:00Welcome to my channel. This is the Porcelain Doll in the Attic.
00:03This video is based off of a true story from Reddit.
00:06On April 12, 2019, a teenage girl named Maya moved into her grandmother's old farmhouse.
00:13After her parents got divorced, her mom bought the house after her and Maya's father split up,
00:18so now Maya could live with her mom on the weekends.
00:21The house was out in the woods.
00:23It was quiet, and honestly, a little eerie.
00:25It was the kind of place where the floors creak even when no one's walking.
00:30The rooms were dusty, the hallways dim.
00:32It felt like the type of place where ghosts hide.
00:35But there was one room that Maya wasn't allowed to explore, the basement.
00:39And there was one rule in that house that her mother enforced from the very first day,
00:44never open the wooden box in the basement.
00:47Her mother said it was just an old woman being superstitious.
00:50She had locked the box away years ago when she moved in,
00:53because she did unbelieve in whatever nonsense it was her mother believed.
00:57Maya didn't think much of it, so she didn't explore the basement.
01:01She assumed it was just filled with boxes and cobwebs,
01:04but a few weeks in, during a rainy afternoon with nothing to do, she got curious.
01:09So she went down into the basement.
01:11She figured her mom wouldn't mind if she just took a peek.
01:14The box was in the corner.
01:15She slowly opened it, revealing a porcelain doll.
01:18Its face was cracked.
01:20Its eyes were pale blue.
01:21It was wearing a tattered dress.
01:24And the creepiest part, it was sitting perfectly upright, as if it had been waiting.
01:28She brought it upstairs and placed it on the kitchen table.
01:31When she turned around, she noticed a rocking chair moving by itself.
01:36She didn't think much of it.
01:37She assumed it was her cat.
01:39But that night, when she was brushing her hair,
01:41she heard the porcelain doll fall off the table.
01:44She went downstairs to find it.
01:46It was sitting in the corner right where she'd left it.
01:48She didn't think much of it, though.
01:49She just picked it up, dusted it off, and went back to her room.
01:54The next morning, though, she noticed the doll had moved.
01:56It was on her pillow.
01:57She assumed it was her grandmother who had touched it.
02:00But every time she asked, her grandmother either stayed quiet or changed the subject.
02:05The doll, meanwhile, kept turning up in different places.
02:09On the kitchen table, on Maya's pillow at the foot of her bed.
02:13Then things got worse.
02:15Maya started waking up at night,
02:16always around the same time, just after 3 a.m.
02:20She'd wake up, convinced she was being watched.
02:23The air in the room would get cold.
02:25And one night, she woke up and found the doll sitting in her arms.
02:29She had no memory of getting out of bed.
02:31By the end of the week, Maya was terrified.
02:34Her mother was busy working, so she went to her grandmother.
02:37She begged her to tell her what was going on.
02:40Finally, her grandmother sat her down and told her the truth.
02:43According to her, the doll had belonged to an old witch who used to live in that house years ago.
02:49After she died, her family moved in.
02:52But over time, strange things started happening.
02:55People began going missing.
02:57Others had to be sent away for their own safety.
03:00Eventually, her grandmother had locked the box away, warning everyone to not open it.
03:05But clearly, she hadn't warned her mother.
03:07The two of them looked back in the box.
03:10Now, it was empty.
03:11They searched the house, but the doll was nowhere to be found.
03:15Just then, Maya's mother came home.
03:17The three of them searched everywhere.
03:19But by the next morning, the doll was back.
03:21It was sitting in Maya's closet, staring at her with its cracked porcelain face.
03:25Maya begged her parents to come get her.
03:28She left the next morning and never went back.
03:30Her mother sealed the box shut again, but the family refuses to speak about it.
03:35Some say the doll is still awake inside, just watching.
03:38Waiting for someone else to open the box.
03:40Now, it's time to make your voice heard.
