Headless

what's more disturbing: that it's headless, or that it's got glass shards up its ass?

Somebody got inspired by the Beatles 'butcher' cover???

garth - the chopped-off hand isn't an issue for you? ;-)

Those are cute little dimpled knees, I must say . . .

Golly, for a period of time (in the olden days before the waters of the Great Flood covered all the earth) all our doll-babies had that horrid thing on the neck to hold the head on. First time us little girls ever had the head of one of our beloved dolls fall off we were more scared about that bizarre protruding neck than the fact that our l'il childrens were decapitated. 8`-)

I could never get the heads back on that darned thing.

It WAS a bitch, wasn't it? You had to squeeze the doll's head flat and try to slip it over that damned cuff, and it took a l-o-t of work.

But the restored structural integrity of our beauteous childrens was worth it, wouldn't you say? :-)

Oh yes, because you sure as heck can't have a headless baby lying around, most of the time you would get in trouble for tearing up your toys. So you had to either hide it or fix it.

Jo, I just re-read your first comment and see where you prolly went wrong. You were only supposed to put ONE head on each body.

Is this the fate of that damned dancing internet baby??? I hope...

Playing with that doll is always a good time at Met State. It's as iconic as the A Ward chair in Danvers.

LOL Lynne and Jo wanted to fix their dolls. When me and my friends were wee ones we used to destroy them. Once we had this huge Barbie doll concentration camp going in my friends basement. We would rip up their limps and tie them to the ceiling with shoe laces, put their heads on a mantle like head hunters and once we even got a robotics set and made "mutant zombie limbless robots" out of mutaliated Barbies (relax we got the idea off of Tales From The Crypt episodes. We weren't quite nuts enough to think of it ourselves). It was alot of fun. Used to scare the hell out of all the boys though. LOL we were very dark children with blond hair and blue eyes. We were only six when we did all this. It went on for a few months and then one of my friends mom found a closet full of Barbie victims and we had to clean the whole place up. It was dissappointing but okay because about a year later I got a movie camera and we used to film Barbie suicides. Like Barbies jumping out windows and drowing themselves in puddles. There's nothing quite like tormenting a Barbie doll. We must have wacked 50 or more of them. We also got ideas from movies like "Good Fellas." LOL we watched alot of movies very young. :D
Just felt like typing, thought I should share.

It looks like it's hovering.It also scared the crap outta me when i first saw it.

Oh, that is seriously creepy. I love it!

Mr. Motts, was the doll like that when you found it, or did you put it there before photographing it?

my question is, who put it there and why?

It's a girl!!!

Oh man! I hate when my head is ripped off and I get glass shards up my ass!

Peaches-

It **could** have been a boy...we won't get into that though...


:0)

there's just something inherently creepy about old dolls...

Is that a hook coming through 'its' neck?

this is more disturbing than that scene with the baby crawling on the ceiling in Trainspotting!

Take back my last comment. This freaks me out more than anything. I am scared and hate dolls. I need to stop here try to get this image out of my mind before bed. Yep I'm WIGGIN........

It might fetch a fair price on ebay :D

haha Garth..

Pics like these really creep me out, ones with dolls....this is awsome

The are two possibilities of who has done this - either a little girl who does not like her dollie anymore or an average goth on his/her daily routine.

:O im shocked that none of you have taken note of the fact that baby is very close to a potentially fatal fall! headless or not!!! hmm....kinda reminds me of my baby ...ill have to post that.

Um, dude, your baby has broken glass shards up its butt? Might wanna take care of that...

run run its infected with bird fluuuu

wow this is a great pic i used to have a doll like tht most of time with no head lol my sister kept pulling it of guess she hated it lol

OOOOH Marie Antoinette

thats just not right.....

Hmmm...decapitated infants being sodomized by shards of glass. Overprotective soccer-moms, start your engines.

I happen to be rather Gothic... and all I can say is that imagery is morbidly sweet! The dust on the body almost resembles blood splatters... but who's?

Wowza...

I think I just shit myself.

It begs the question -who put it there and why? I highly doubt it was put there by a patient...

Egads! I done found the rest of it!

Can we say disturbing? Kind of creeps me out a little bit

The thing holding it up looks like a bird's wishbone.

this is awesome!

i hope no one actually thinks this has anything to do with the ghosts at met state. it was either put there by people recently or maybe even by the photographer himself. if you ask me, this takes away from the true haunting going on at met state.

i used to work there, and that doll is still their. you should put more pics of the Gabler building

Ok, that creeps me out just a little bit.

creepy..and I love it..good one Mr. Motts

you guys are just silly, THERE IS NO HUNTINGS at Met State, i walk around there at like 2 in the morning ALONE and ive never seen/heard nada!

It was clearly left there for none other than the curios person to find in the future. But it strikes me as the remains of the Chernobyl incident when many personal items were left behind and abandoned to only collect dust.

O_O well, that's rather disturbing.... one of the vistors had an interesting sense of humor...

This should be a wallpaper Motts. Or is that just my opinion?

it would probably look more freaki with the head on

OMG Chucky is finally dead!!!! haha

*gasping for breath* that,....was tooo good for the first comment *laughs some more*

someone's pretty f**ked up! who would want to do that?

I looked at the picture and thought over the last child who could have played with this doll. What was this place like for them: a safe haven or a prison?

That's just.... pretty creepy but a great pic

Ummm...Has anyone noticed that not only is the baby missing a head and has glass up it's bum but it's hand (possibly both) is cut off?

i guess thats why its in a mental aslym!

"Used to scare the hell out of all the boys though" -Long Island, wow, that's a definite role reversal! Brava.

that crazy

WOW:O

Long Island, thats really funny, we kinda did the same thing, but we would tie them to bricks and sink them in the harbor or rip of their limbs, chew the ends and leave them around the house for our mom to find. she was under the impression that the house was haunted for like, 10 years. Im not saying how old I was when I did this though

It's always good to lend a hand but don't lose your head over it.
