Two Eerie #Dolls Are Walking Around #London Taunting Commuters [#geekgirl]

Victorian dolls creep out London

If you’re anywhere near central London (in Dec) you may notice two life-sized Victorian dolls wandering around freaking out commuters – and probably petrifying the elderly.

The two 10-year-old sisters have been spotted causing a scene in various locations across the capital, including Charing Cross Tube Station, Oxford Street, Regent’s Street and Hamleys.

They’ve been pushing around an empty antique pram and playing with an assortment or toys dressed in period costumes reminiscent of The Grady sisters from Stephen King’s The Shining.

Commuters have already taken to Twitter to tell of their harrowing experience. One person said: “Creepy dolls spotted at Oxford circus tube. And they move. My nightmares have become a reality”.

The chilling figures form part of a week-long marketing ploy by illusionist Derren Brown for his forthcoming, psychological attraction at Thorpe Park.

Derren said: ”The theme of Victoriana is ever present in my work. [The dolls] are just a taster of what my new attraction has in store for visitors to Thorpe Park next Spring.”

(sic) Derren said:

 “I believe we are moving toward a future where theme park attractions not only give you a physical experience but also play with your mind and the concept of what is real.”
