Dirtlings, for this episode we both took one for the team. Join your hosts Ellsworth and Big Spoon far inside the Dirtstar and dip your toes into the world of HAUNTED DOLLS. Yup, that's right: Riley braved researching PERGER DA DERL to learn how one of the spirits inhabiting her tries to torment not only the owner, but also anyone viewing Pegs from their computer screen. She’ll also tell you how to snag a meet and greet with this haunted doll who now resides with none other than Zak Bagans at The Haunted Museum in Downtown Las Vegas.

Ellsworth doubles down on why dolls can be absolutely horrifying by diving into the history of America’s most beloved haunted doll, Annabelle, who is the real life scary-as-hell Raggedy Ann Doll from The Conjuring Universe. Ellie will detail the dangerous escalation of Annabelle starting with what seems like odd but harmless mischief, to traumatizing ordeals and eventually the death of someone who dared to mock her at Ed and Lorraine Warren’s Occult Museum in Monroe Connecticut. Don’t worry about their museum being closed to the public; Ellie will tell you how to hunt down Annebelle thanks to Ed and Lorraine’s son in law Tony Spera who takes her to paranormal conventions. Yes, Dirtlings. There’s definitely going to be a waiver for you to sign.
