The Dutch Doll of Finedon!


Some people report in the dead of night of hearing footsteps behind them. Be very afraid if they sound like wood, as it might be the Dutch Doll of Finedon!
The Dutch Doll of Finedon was a wooden figure, originally housed at the girls school in Finedon. It was rumoured that the doll had supernatural powers which allowed the doll to walk at night. Reports had it that at one point it's feet had been removed to stop the doll wandering off! The doll was often used as a threat of punishment! The poor girl as punishment would be locked in the cellar with the creepy three foot wooden doll!
It was relocated to the Church of St Mary the Virgin in 1961 after the school moved. In 1981, the doll mysteriously dissappeared, presumed stolen, from the church! The doll has never been found! Though in the dead of night if you listen you might just hear the sound of tiny wooden feet tap tap tapping along the road!
