Haunted Objects: Pupa The Doll

Pupa the Doll was a doll made for a little Italian girl in the 1920s. She would own the doll up until her death in 2005. Since she was a girl the owner stated that the doll was alive and would talk to her throughout the years. The doll was a friend who helped a little girl grow up and kept her secrets.

Pupa and her owner's family would travel a lot throughout Europe and the U.S. At the end of WWII, her owner's grandmother would pass away and as a memento, they sewed a button from her grandmother's clothes onto Pupas. Pupa and her owner would eventually settle in the U.S. and her owner would start a family. 

Her owner would often tell family members how special Pupa was and it wasn't until after death that they realized it was true. After her owner's death, she was still active. She is now kept in a glass case and isn't happy about it. When someone decided to clean the case they fogged up the window and saw the message Pupa Hate on the glass. Sometimes tapping can be heard on the glass and at times a strange faint laugh can be heard.

On October 25, 1924, an animal was spotted in Margate, South Africa. first seen batteling two killer whales for 3 hours. it reportedly lifted itself  out of the feet 20 ft and used its tail to fight. The creature would lose the fight and washed up on Margate Beach. Where it laid tere for 10 days. 

The creature was given the name Trunko . It appeared to have long white fur, and had an elephant trunk and a lobster like tail. The trunk was said to be attatched directly to the torso and no head was noticable. It was measured to be 14 m (47ft)  in length and 3m (10ft), and the trunk was 1.5 m (5ft) and the diameter was 36cm (14in). It was devoid of  blood.

Though it's unknown what the creature was it's now believed that it may have been a washed up whale carcass. Because the locals or those who've seen it were ignorant of how animal carcass's can decompose. It's possible that it was a globster which made it look as if it has hair.
