There once was a little boy who lived in the early 1900s. His name was Robert Eugene Otto, and his family called him Gene. The family maid gave Gene a straw filled doll. Gene named the doll after himself, Robert. He carried the doll everywhere. He was so attached to this doll, but he didn’t realize until he was 10 years old that the doll was possessed.
One night, Gene sat straight up in bed. He didn’t know why he was awake. He wasn’t hungry, nor had to use the bathroom. Then he knew why when he looked into Robert’s glassy eyes. Screams awoke Gene’s mother. They were coming from his room.
She tried to push the door open, but it wouldn’t budge. The screams were interrupted by unearthly giggling. When she finally got the door open, she realized that her son’s room was trashed.
“ROBERT EUGENE OTTO! WHAT ON EARTH DID YOU DO TO YOUR BEDROOM AT THIS UNGODLY HOUR!?” She screamed.
“Robert did it.” Gene said timidly.
Gene’s parents never seemed to believe him, but that have heard wicked giggling and people have told the Otto’s that they’ve seen a straw doll traveling through the house, peeking out different windows
The Otto family decided to put the doll in the attic, so he would never be seen by strangers again. They locked the heavy wooden door and went on with their lives. Gene eventually grew up and moved away, leaving his creepy companion behind.
After Gene’s parents passed away, he inherited the house, also inheriting the doll. One day, he went downstairs and Robert was sitting in the rocking chair. Events like these continued to happen, until the day Gene died.
Robert is now on display in the East Martello Museum in Key West. You can go visit him, but be warned. You may not take pictures of Robert without asking permission. If you do, you will be cursed with bad luck until you write a letter of apology. I got all my information from here:

Hey. I heard the same exact story online! I watched the video on YouTube
You should’ve put a picture of the doll. That would be cool.
Thanks! And I was going to at home, but I forgot:)
