Celebrity psychic Deborah Davies, 59, had spent six years collecting the creepy figures, many sent by followers who claimed they had experienced unexplained activity in their homes.

But the mum-of-three finally decided enough was enough after dreaming she had died, only for her daughter to ring the next morning claiming she had suffered a similar nightmare.

Among the collection was a sinister doll called Annabelle, which previously made headlines after reportedly frightening customers at a charity shop in Edinburgh.

Deborah, who appeared on The Real Housewives of Cheshire, had planned to bring some of the dolls out of storage for a Halloween event in Knutsford.

Instead, she claims she heard a mysterious male voice whispering: “Cuddle me and fall asleep” during a disturbing dream.

She said: “I woke up in the morning and I had dreamt that I had died.

“My daughter rang that morning too and said she’d had a dream that I died too. In the dream she said the main doll Annabelle said ‘it thinks that you’re the doll’s mother’.”

Deborah, from Wilmslow, Cheshire, was diagnosed with tonsil cancer in November 2025 but says she is now cancer-free.

She added: “Once you’ve gone through having cancer and then you have a dream that you’re going to die, I just didn’t want to take any chances.”

The grandmother-of-nine contacted ghost hunter Lee Steer, 40, who runs The Haunted Objects Museum in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, and issued an ultimatum.

She told him: “Take my dolls or I’m going to bury them.”

But the spooky story didn't end there.

Lee claims members of his team began feeling ill just minutes after loading the dolls into his Seat Ibiza for the 90-minute journey home.

One reported tingling teeth before feeling sick, while Lee said he also became nauseous.

His girlfriend Sarah Carter, 34, reportedly fell ill after the dolls arrived at the museum.

Lee admitted he could not establish what caused the symptoms but suspects the collection may have played a part.

Deborah has even offered to take the dolls back and bury them should anyone else become ill.

There is no scientific evidence that dolls can be haunted or cause illness through supernatural activity.
