Edinburgh locals say they will have sleepless nights as creepy doll is spotted in window

A creepy-looking doll in the window of an Edinburgh shop has left locals terrified, with some saying they won’t be able to sleep after seeing it.

The toy, which was spotted at a charity store in Morningside, was photographed by a local and shared on social media.

Ms Marchmont, who posts on X (formerly Twitter), uploaded the eerie images with the simple caption: ‘Doll for Sale. Morningside’. It didn’t take long after the post for followers to reply, with the majority of people suggesting the doll will give them nightmares.

One X user said: “That thing totally comes to life at night, doesn't it?” Another wrote: “Thanks for that – not sure I'll be sleeping tonight. Need to know *where* in Morningside so that I can give it the widest berth.”

A third X user said: “Surely no one is going to have that horror in their home?”, while a fourth person joked: “I saw that the other day and ran away.”

The toy, which was on sale for £180, has now been reduced to £90. It remains to be seen if anyone is brave enough to buy it.
