Suspects & Spirits
In 2014, British paranormal investigator Jayne Harris acquired a doll from a woman who claimed it had caused terrifying nightmares, sleepless nights, and unexplained activity in her home. The doll, later named Peggy, quickly gained international attention after photographs and videos of her circulated online, prompting reports of headaches, nausea, disturbing dreams, and even serious medical emergencies.
As Harris and her team investigated, they began to suspect that more than one spirit might be attached to Peggy, raising questions about whether the doll herself was responsible for the reported activity. The case eventually caught the attention of Zak Bagans, who featured Peggy on his television series Deadly Possessions.
This week, we're examining Peggy's history, the experiences reported by those who encountered her (including my own) and the evidence behind her unsettling reputation.
