Hide AdMs 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.
