Annalise the Haunted Doll
While the HAHA Museum houses many haunted dolls, the most infamous by far is Annalise. Donated by a family of nurses in Tulsa, OK, Annalise was originally a birthday gift. Soon the family started experiencing strange occurrences, often finding the doll out of place nearby. Then came the illness. Each member of the family was stricken with relentless diarrhea. The youngest daughter began finding unexplained notes in a child-like handwriting claiming responsibility for the loose stool. After that. Annalise was passed around the family as a spite gift for generations before finally being reported to paranormal investigators Ken & LeeAnn Hodgeson, who were able to contain the evil in a sealed case, blessed daily by a priest. However, since the HAHA Museum gained an online presence, Annalise has become far more active. As of this writing, Annalise has given over 10 million people diarrhea across social media.
The Alligator’s Claw
This artifact is the museum’s most famous cursed object. As legend goes, those who possess the Alligator’s Claw will be transformed into a Florida Man. Donated by a desperate man in Daytona Beach, the Hodgesons have traced the claw back to countless headlines in the Sunshine State. The only time the Alligator’s Claw was taken from its case for research, LeeAnn found Ken two weeks later trying to open a Surf and Vape shop in Clearwater.
Spirit Boards
The HAHA Museum is home to many spirit boards, witch boards, and talking boards such as this Ouija Board dating back to 1993 midwestern America. Created by known occultists, the Parker Brothers, these boards can serve as a chat room for dangerous entities.
Conjuring Mirror
Mirrors have long been considered portals to other realms. Conjuring mirrors were made for that explicit purpose. Every mirror in the HAHA Museum has been used in some sort of summoning or ritualistic practice. The conjuring mirror displayed at exhibits was recovered from a haunting in which the Hodgesons and museum staff had to defeat it as a family.
Scrying Mirror
Scrying mirrors, often made of obsidian like this one, have been used for centuries to see possible futures and commune with the spirit realm. Some say staring into the dark mirror will show one’s deepest darkest fears. Who knows? You might see your mother-in-law.
Cursed VHS Tapes
The 90’s and 2000’s ushered in a new age of cursed media. The Hondgesons have collected dozens of cursed VHS tapes from found footage of supernatural occurrences to water ghosts on a homicidal deadline.
Witchcraft
While not always used for evil, witchcraft can be a powerful tool for darkness. Ken & LeeAnn discovered many witch totems, spells, and hexes to be the source of a haunting. The Hodgesons find at least a few of these structures under houses a month.
Mr. Bunny
Donated by a haunted doll collector on TikTok, Mr. Bunny is a demonic entity possessing a stuffed mother bunny holding a child, with a music box in its butt.
Blood Glass
This glass is allegedly created by vampires using the blood of their victims. The Hodgeson’s research shows this dinnerware was produced by a vampire known as A’von in the 1970s while active in the Cape Cod area.
Labubu
This anonymously donated toy belongs to the allegedly demonic line known as Labubu. Sound familiar? Like Pazuzu? Or the Zozo demon? Exactly. Though it was once an expensive collector’s item, this Labubu was left on the Hodgeson’s front door step missing an appendage. What could have caused this and why was the owner so desperate to get rid of it?
Dybbuk Boxes
The HAHA museum has come into possession of several infamous Dybbuk Boxes (not from eBay) which allegedly contain evil spirits and possibly demonic entities.
Phelton the Puppet
Meet Phelton, a hand puppet donated to the Hodgesons because of his possessive nature. Phelton’s previous owners reported feeling strange operating the puppet, even some claiming the puppet was trying to control the puppeteer.
Satanic Toaster
While not the same satanic toaster of viral video fame, this one basically does the same thing. After the news shared that sensationalized story, no one wanted to cover toaster hauntings again for fear of ridicule.
