FOLKTALE

A YOUNG CHILD WAS RUN OVER BY HER FATHER IN THEIR DRIVEWAY AS THE
CHILD WAS PLAYING BEHIND THE CAR. THE CHILD DIES AND THE FATHER DIES
SHORTLY AFTERWARD FROM GRIEF. THE MOTHER OF THE CHILD GOES INSANE AND
BECOMES OBSESSED WITH A DOLL WHO SHE DRESSES EVERY DAY AND PUTS IT IN
IN THE WINDOW LOOKING OUT ON THE DRIVEWAY.

Submitter comment: HEARD THIRD HAND FROM A FRIEND. WE TRIED TO FIND THE HOUSE WHERE THE
DOLL WAS LOCATED BUT WERE UNABLE TO FIND IT.
FRIENDS CLAIMED TO HAVE SEEN THE DOLL AFTER THIS.
