Robert (doll)

Robert The Doll

Robert, otherwise known as Robert the Doll, Robert the haunted doll, or Robert the Enchanted Doll, is a doll that was once owned by Key West painter and author Robert Eugene Otto. The doll, which is supposedly cursed, has become a fixture of ghost tours in the Key West area. Aesthetically, Robert resembles an early 20th-century American sailor. Contrary to popular belief, the doll's hair is not made of human hair, but rather, it consists of a synthetic material resembling wool yarn.[1][2][3]

Current status

The doll is located at the East Martello Museum in Key West, Florida and annually rotated to the Old Post Office and Customhouse in October.
