Robert the Doll is one of America’s most infamous haunted objects, housed in the Fort East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida. Gifted to a young boy named Robert Eugene Otto in the early 1900s, the doll quickly became the center of eerie stories—strange voices, shifting expressions, and unexplained movements. Locals claimed the doll was cursed, and even today, museum visitors report misfortunes after disrespecting Robert. Letters of apology surround his display case. Whether a product of superstition or something darker, one thing’s certain—Robert the Doll has a chilling presence that continues to haunt from behind the glass.
