Cavemen used to fashion dolls out of sticks and rocks. They would play with them for hours, pretending that they were going on epic hunting trips and fighting off saber-toothed tigers.\nFast forward a few thousand years, and dolls became all the rage in ancient Egypt. People would bury them in tombs with their deceased loved ones, probably as a way to keep them company in the afterlife. Kind of like a creepy little buddy system.\nDuring the Middle Ages, dolls were mostly used as religious objects. But then the Renaissance came along, and artists started making fancy dolls for rich people to show off their wealth. "Look at me, I have a doll with a velvet gown and real human hair!" they would exclaim, as the peasants rolled their eyes.\nIn the 20th century, dolls became even more popular, thanks to the rise of mass production. Barbie dolls were created, and girls everywhere were suddenly obsessed with having the perfect body, dream house, and wardrobe. Meanwhile, boys were busy playing with G.I. Joes and action figures, pretending to save the world one plastic battle at a time.\nBut what about the outliers? The ones that seem... off. The ones that capture our attention for all the wrong reasons, and people can\u2019t stop talking about them. That is what we are focusing on today as we tackle Creepy Dolls here on Hysteria 51. \n\n\nOur Sponsors:\n* Check out Factor 75 and use my code hysteria50 for a great deal: https://www.factor75.com/\n* Check out Rosetta Stone and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.rosettastone.com/ \n\nAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands\n\nPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
