The Doll House Girl

3rd April 2022

It was Holly’s birthday and she opened her last gift, it was an antique doll house. Holly was so excited. One of her other favourite gifts was a tiny doll that was named annabelle. She would play with the dollhouse non stop. Holly’s parents, whoever they would bump into, would always brag to them how Holly was an angel and she was perfect But Mrs & Mr Mckai was always busy with something. Would describe them as busy bees. One day Holy was playing with annabelle and her mum called her down stairs to go play outside obviously bringing annabelle. But a strange man approached her telling her to go with them, she obviously refused but they put Holly in a plastic bag over her head and ran away. Her mum heard her terrified scream but it was too late. She then immediately phoned the police and a massive search team was set out. The way her mum described her scream was as loud as a set of drum kits. A week later she was found dead with her doll Annabelle still in her hand. People say that Annabelle was haunting her till her death. Her case was named the doll house girl. Her killer was believed to torure her until her death but was still never found…
