Did anyone watch that 2-hr documentary about it on the Travel Channel? That doll's really something. just as bad or worse than Annabelle. Now I like museums, but I wouldn't even want to take a chance & visit that museum in Kew West, FL.
So the legend or rumor says that the Otto family nanny put a curse on the doll, yet the son (Robert aka Gene) seemed mesmerized by it from the very moment he opened it as a gift from his parents (before the nanny got ahold of it).
It's really something how people live their life & pass away, yet this doll made of fabric, maybe some wood, etc. keeps living on.

So they stick around maybe? Humans send out a lot of unintentional energy which if not directed can be used for whatever purposes. I dont think we know how 'powerful' we are.

BTW, there is a couple in the US that collects haunted items and stores it in a section (basement?) of their home. It's fascinating but also kinda not smart of them lol. Basically people learn that they do it and ask if they can send their cursed / haunted items to them.

I think more people do this than we probably think. I sure wouldn't want to be the next homeowner of that place! But, will I know when I start house hunting? I'm sure the real estate agent sure won't tell me IF they even know either. They just want to make the sale.

How long ago were those episodes? I must have missed them & was thinking why Zak never did anything w/ this doll.

Reviews for "The Hidden Curses of Robert the Doll: A Revealing Documentary"
1. Samantha - 1 star
This documentary was a complete waste of time. I was expecting to learn about the history and legend behind Robert the Doll, but instead, it was just a bunch of reenactments and cheesy jump scares. The whole thing felt more like a low-budget horror film than an informative documentary. I was left feeling disappointed and unsatisfied with the lack of depth and substance.
2. Michael - 2 stars
I found "The Curse of Robert the Doll" to be quite underwhelming. The filmmakers seemed more interested in creating suspenseful moments for entertainment value rather than delving into the history and significance of Robert the Doll. The interviews were poorly conducted and felt scripted, making it difficult to connect with the individuals involved. Overall, it lacked the authenticity and credibility I was hoping for in a documentary.
3. Jane - 2 stars
I had high hopes for this documentary, but it ultimately failed to live up to my expectations. The reenactments were poorly executed, and the pacing was all over the place. The filmmakers tried too hard to make it scary, resulting in a disjointed and chaotic narrative. Moreover, there was a lack of thorough research and analysis, leaving many unanswered questions. Overall, I found "The Curse of Robert the Doll" to be a mediocre and forgettable documentary experience.
4. Mark - 1 star
I was highly disappointed with this documentary. It felt more like a cheap attempt at cashing in on a horror legend than a genuine effort to explore the folklore surrounding Robert the Doll. The production quality was poor, and the acting in the reenactments was cringe-worthy. The film failed to deliver any real scares or provide any new insights into the story. If you're looking for a captivating and informative documentary, I suggest looking elsewhere.
5. Lisa - 1 star
"The Curse of Robert the Doll" was a complete letdown. The whole documentary felt like a cheap knock-off of other paranormal investigation shows. There was an abundance of jump scares and exaggerated reactions that made it difficult to take the content seriously. The lack of substantial evidence and research only added to the disappointment. I wouldn't recommend wasting your time on this poorly made documentary.
