I'm a skeptic to all things supernatural/paranormal, but I would not get anywhere near that doll

It's a tourist trap. There's a french youtube channel called 'Occulture' that did research about it and it's just bullshit all the way down.

Yeah I figured (as is a lot of businesses making a buck off of supernatural/paranormal attractions) but the look of it so off-putting, so mission accomplished with the aesthetic

Yeah, the look is 100% made up. The doll was actually a display doll ( meant to be displayed at the toy store and not intended to be sold. But what rich people want, rich people get ). It was originally a colorful clown and the dog is apparently an addition by the 'museum' since the original story never mentioned any dog.
