When it comes to her daughter’s Elsa doll, one mother is desperately trying to “let it go.”
The incident began during a phone conversation between Sarah and her sister when her 6-year-old niece, Emily, interrupted with a story of her own. After explaining that one of her dolls “wouldn’t stop moving on its own,” Emily had taken matters into her own hands, trapping the doll inside a Barbie camper. They laughed it off, thinking it was just kid imagination. Little did they know, a tale of a seemingly haunted Frozen doll would soon surface, sending chills through the internet.
The now-famous post by a woman named Sarah Thompson about her daughter’s Elsa doll is indeed spine-tingling. The crux of the story is this: Sarah and her family from Texas attempted to dispose of the doll, but it returned to them—not once, but twice.
Initially, Sarah’s decision to discard the Elsa doll was practical. “We wanted to clear out old toys before Christmas to make space for new ones. I hadn’t even thought about the Elsa doll. My daughter said she was over it, so it was easy to toss. It was germy and old, and she had already drawn on it, so donating it didn’t seem right,” Sarah explained.
However, after two weeks, the family discovered the doll hidden in a wooden bench in their living room, a bench they rarely opened. “My husband found it and screamed. He put on rubber gloves and double-bagged it before taking it out to the curb,” she recounted. Yet, the story didn’t end there. Just two weeks later, the doll resurfaced—this time in their backyard.
When asked if her family might be playing a prank on her, Sarah had compelling arguments. The ongoing situation has caused her “a lot of stress.” If this were just a joke, surely her children would have stopped by now. They were merely excited to see if Elsa would make another appearance, akin to Santa or the Tooth Fairy. Sarah’s husband also shared her concern, losing sleep over the bizarre occurrences.
Moreover, the alternative explanation—that someone might be sneaking into their home—was even more unsettling. “Rationally, I wanted to believe it was a person doing this, but how frightening is that? It would have been nearly impossible for anyone to find it in the garbage that had been collected. The thought of someone entering my house is terrifying,” she said.
Since sharing their chilling tale online, Sarah has received a flood of opinions, with many pointing out a peculiar detail: the doll—originally marketed as a bilingual toy—had only spoken English for the first two years. Then it began speaking Spanish randomly and eventually only communicated in Spanish, ceasing to sing entirely. “Before we got rid of it, it was just talking, whether we pressed the button or not,” Sarah noted.
Initially, this didn’t raise any red flags for her—after all, toy malfunctions are common in #momlife. However, one particular incident sent chills down her spine. “The creepiest thing I witnessed was when I packed it up to send to a friend in another state; it laughed non-stop for about 30 seconds. It had never done that before. My husband and I stared at it in horror before sealing the box and mailing it off,” she shared.
As for who received the doll next, a man named Jake Anderson is now in possession of the haunted Elsa. “I think he’s skeptical about its paranormal status, but he took it for fun. I’m a skeptic too, but I just can’t explain the occurrences,” Sarah concluded. “I’ll feel better if it doesn’t come back after a couple of weeks, especially since it’s now 1500 miles away.”
To ensure the doll couldn’t be returned, she sent it with no return address, opting for a P.O. box. If it does reappear, it might be time for the family to consider moving, hiring a paranormal investigator, or perhaps both. For updates, Jake has promised to share any developments on his Twitter account @JakeAnderson.
