The Haunted Doll
A little girl brings home an antique doll she finds at a yard sale. Her mother says, “That thing looks cursed. You shouldn’t have bought it.”
That night, the mother hears whispers coming from the girl’s room. She bursts in and finds the doll sitting upright on the bed.
The girl says, “It’s talking to me!”
The mother grabs the doll and shakes it, saying, “You’re not haunted! You’re battery-operated!”
The doll replies, “I run on fear, not batteries.”
