There's definitely some creepy stories!!!
With the doll, she's fine as long as she's happy, we first discovered her hauntedness or whatever back in 2001 when her "actual" owner finally took her out of the box she'd been in for years. She's a bride doll & quite beautiful really. She began by tossing her bouquet regularly every night across the living room & then a few months later turned her head for the first time witnessed by two people who I was sure were seeing things. I make a point of having her in a location where she can "see" the most but once or twice a year she needs a change of scenery and I will find her staring at the wall. I know its not just someone turning her on me because of which shoulder of hers she is facing towards.
Creepiest thing she ever did was back in 2004 I had gotten a logitech quick cam orbit with face tracking and was demonstrating it to a friend of mine when it stopped tracking my face, and moved so it was pointed at her face (she was on the top of a bookshelf at least 4 feet above where my face was)
Im now undecided about baby monitors lol I would probably prefer a video one... That way if I hear voices in with LO I can look and see that nobody is there... Just hearing voices would freak me out
Do you have a picture of this doll? Haha, I want to see it.
As for babies staring past their mom's/dad's, I just think it's a common thing babies do. Like staring into space. I do it a lot, lol. But hey, they could be staring at a loved one or spirit or whatever, who really knows, hmm.
