Beachgoers have had “nightmares” after going to a Merseyside beauty spot. Blundellsands<\/a> is usually an idyllic spot to take a Sunday morning stroll, with gorgeous views of the Merseyside coast and miles of sandy beach.<\/a><\/p>\n

However, last week this tranquil part of the northwest coastline<\/a> turned into a scene from a horror movie when a creepy doll appeared on a flight of stairs leading from the beach to the promenade. The scary doll in question is a Baby Annabell-type doll that many of us had as children growing up.<\/p>\n

She’s dressed in pink dungarees and is covered in black and green dirt from the sea. However, it’s the doll’s terrifying eyes that we believe are giving people nightmares.<\/p>\n

Pictures of the freakish toy show her left eye closed while the right eye, in the deepest shade of black, is wide open – and it has reportedly been giving beachgoers who spotted it “nightmares.”<\/p>\n

Jean Kane, who found the doll on the steps and shared a picture of it online, told the ECHO<\/a> she found the “creepy” doll on Sunday (September 28) afternoon, while she was walking her dogs along the beach. She said it had been placed in-between the two ramps at Blundellsands.<\/p>\n

She said: “Whoever left it there put it in the best place to give people a scare, as you spot it staring back just as you start climbing the steps.<\/p>\n

“It’s rather sad that it was lost at sea, which I assume it was, as it’s covered in what could be oil and mud. My granddaughter has a doll very similar to that one and I know she’d be devastated if she lost it, particularly if she’d dropped it into the sea.<\/p>\n

“Sadly we’ll never know how it ended up in the water or where it originally came from and who owned it.” Jean said it gave her “quite a fright.”<\/p>\n

She posted the doll on Facebook<\/a> and many beachgoers have come forward to say it was giving them nightmares. One person said: “This is what nightmares are made of.”<\/p>\n

Another person said: “That doll’s a little bit disturbing,” and another added: “That doll will be in my nightmares tonight.” Others called it “scary” and “creepy”; another called it a “Halloween doll.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It has been haunting themThe ‘creepy doll’ on Crosby beach giving people ‘nightmares'(Image: Jean Kane) Beachgoers have had…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":473442,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8815],"tags":[72974,748,5765,393,4884,179,457,455,456,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-473441","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-liverpool","8":"tag-blundellsands","9":"tag-britain","10":"tag-crosby","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-liverpool","14":"tag-people","15":"tag-real-life","16":"tag-real-lives","17":"tag-uk","18":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115315684755639419","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473441","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=473441"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/473441\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/473442"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=473441"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=473441"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=473441"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
