The Dutch Doll of Finedon

By Crusader1307

An interesting ‘’Urban Legend’’, The ‘’Dutch Doll’’ was said to be an early 18th Century AD wooden ‘’Peg Doll’’, brought Home to Finedon, Northhamptonshire, England. The Doll, dressed in then ‘’traditional Dutch Dress’’, found it’s way as a gift, to a Girls School there. The Doll was placed over the Main Entrance Door. Well until 1981, The Doll was said to ‘’move it’s arms and legs around’’ – when someone knocked or gained entry thru The Door. This led to many tales of ‘’supernatural phenomenon’’ regarding The Doll. Most assumed that ‘’The Doll’’ was attached to some sort of mechanism which ‘’activated’’ when The Door ‘’opened’’ (but no proof of this exists either). In 1981, when The School closed and moved, someone stole the long lasting fixture, leading most to assume some sort of ‘’curse’’ would befall the new School. To date, nothing has ''happened'' and the whereabouts of The ‘’Dutch Doll’’ is currently unknown.
