PORCELAIN dolls crafted to resemble eight young girls have been left outside their homes in California, creeping out the girl’s parents.
“As many as eight homes have had porcelain dolls left on their doorsteps over the last week,” a statement from the Orange County Sheriff’s Department said.
“Families in each of the homes where porcelain dolls were left, voiced concern that the dolls resembled their daughters.”
Police are investigating who may be responsible for leaving the toys and whether there is a sinister motive.
The dolls have been left outside homes in Talega community of San Clemente, and a report from KTLA 5 News suggested that some of the girls, who are all aged about 10 years old, attend the same elementary school in the US.
While the anonymous gifts have creeped out some people, others were more generous on Facebook suggesting that their creator could have just been trying to do something nice.
“Why do people tend to gravitate towards creepy? These dolls are beautiful. My grandmother used to make ones just like them. Could this just be a sweet gesture from an elderly lady in your neighbourhood?!
