The Curse of Robert The Curse of Robert, also known as Robert the Doll, is a spooky legend that originates from Key West, Florida. The story revolves around a haunted doll named Robert, said to be cursed. The doll belonged to a boy named Robert Eugene Otto, who went by the nickname Gene. According to the tale, Gene's parents fired a Bahamian servant for practicing voodoo black magic after the woman gave him the doll. The doll, which had button eyes and straw stuffing, became Gene's constant companion and he named it Robert after himself. Strange occurrences started happening in the Otto household shortly after Gene received the doll.

about

Stepping out of the bedroom & into the Real World, Liverpool’s Strawberry Guy prepares for a string of special shows across the UK & the US by sharing reimagined strings versions of two fan favourites, Mrs Magic & F Song.

Heading down to Peter Gabriel’s idyllic Real World Studios with Manchester’s Northern Session Collective in tow, Stephens set about trying to soften and expose the bare bones of the original tracks. Stripped of drums & synths, the music is pared down to piano & the new strings arrangement, bringing the careful melodies & indrawn lyrics to the fore.

Having recorded the original tracks in his Liverpool bedroom, swapping the originals’ string samples for their real counterparts lends the tracks an even more ethereal quality than the self-produced originals. The trip to Real World marks a first foray into studio recording for Strawberry Guy, and a new high-fidelity direction for the project, as he begins the process of making his sophomore album.

Fans will have the chance to hear both strings versions in the flesh alongside reworkings of the rest of the Strawberry catalogue in two special shows at Liverpool Philharmonic & London’s Kings Place. He then returns to the US for his second headline tour where he’ll be joined by a string quartet for his New York & Los Angeles shows, amidst a run that takes him to both coasts & up into Canada.

The Meaning Behind The Song: Mrs Magic by Strawberry Guy

As Gene grew older, the behavior of Robert became more bizarre. Visitors in the Otto home claimed to see the doll's expression change from playful to sinister. Some even claimed that the doll's expression was alive and that it was filled with evil. The haunting incidents continued even after Gene grew up and left the Key West house. Residents and employees in the house, who were skeptical of the legend of Robert, changed their minds after experiencing the doll's strange powers. They reported seeing the doll move from room to room, hearing footsteps coming from empty hallways, and witnessing objects being thrown by an unseen force. Today, Robert the Doll resides in the East Martello Museum in Key West, securely locked in a glass case. Many visitors come to the museum to catch a glimpse of the infamous doll. It is believed that if you take a photo of Robert without asking for permission first, you will be cursed. There are numerous letters and photographs on display at the museum, sent by previous visitors who experienced misfortunes after disrespecting the doll. Whether you believe in curses or not, the story of Robert the Doll has captured the imaginations of many and has become an iconic part of Key West's spooky folklore..

Reviews for "Psychic Investigations: The Curse of Robert"

1. John - Rating: 1/5

"The Curse of Robert was a complete disaster. The plot was confusing and poorly executed, leaving me with more questions than answers. The acting was mediocre at best, with wooden performances throughout. Additionally, the film relied too heavily on jump scares, which became repetitive and predictable after a while. Save your time and money and skip this one."

2. Emily - Rating: 2/5

I was really disappointed with The Curse of Robert. The story had potential, but it felt rushed and underdeveloped. The characters lacked depth, making it hard to form any emotional connection with them. The scares were cheap and relied on clichéd horror tropes. Overall, it didn't live up to my expectations and I wouldn't recommend it to fans of the genre.

3. Sarah - Rating: 3/5

While The Curse of Robert had some interesting moments, it ultimately fell flat for me. The pacing was uneven, with moments of intense action followed by prolonged periods of boredom. The script lacked originality and failed to bring anything new to the horror genre. The ending was particularly disappointing, leaving loose ends and unresolved plot points. It had potential, but it just didn't deliver.
