A woman who lives with dozens of ‘haunted’ dolls says Halloween is the craziest time of year in her house, with mischievous activity ramping up.
Teej, a collector who also works as a paranormal investigator, has more than 90 dolls living in her home – all of which she claims are inhabited by a spirit.
The US-based ghost hunter has 62,000 followers on TikTok, where she posts regular updates about life with her unusual brood.

Day-to-day shenanigans include hacking her Amazon Alexa, inexplicable flashes of light, banging noises and objects falling to the ground seemingly unprompted – all of which she puts down to paranormal activity.
And it ramps up more than ever come Halloween.
“We notice a higher level of paranormal activity around Halloween,” Teej told What’s The Jam.
“I believe this happens because of the heightened excitement and emotion that surround these times of year.
“When people come together to celebrate, there’s naturally more energy, both emotional and environmental, which can make it easier for paranormal activity to occur or be perceived.
“We make sure to give our haunted dolls a Halloween experience of their own each year.
“We dress them up in costumes, include them in our movie nights, and even set out candy for them on Halloween as offerings.
“Their room gets fully decorated for the season too.”
Teej and her partner communicate with their dolls via a ‘Spirit Wave’ – a tool that purports to generate a range of frequencies form radio signals, which spirits can interact with.
She recently used the device to ask some of her dolls what they think of modern Halloween celebrations – with many of them hailing from historic generations.
Deanna, a brunette doll with a red gingham dress and donning a festive Batman mask, gave her seal of approval, saying it was “pretty good” and she “loves it” because it “can give kids a good day”.
Meanwhile Sandy, another doll dressed up for Halloween with a pumpkin romper, called it “great”.
Lizzie, a dated china doll, said she was “nervous” but that “it’s good”.
Last year, Teej celebrated the holiday by setting her dolls up to watch Halloween films including Hocus Pocus and Practical Magic.
She started her creepy collection back in 2020, and only works with “positive” spirits – describing most of their interactions as “lighthearted” and “playful”.
She said: “My home is my safe space, and I won’t risk inviting in any spirit that could bring harm or disruption to me or my family.
“By setting clear boundaries, I’m able to stay open to paranormal experiences while still protecting the comfort and peace of our home.
“So far, I haven’t had any negative experiences with the haunted dolls in my collection.”
