Soon, lots of people were commenting online about how terrifying the doll seemed.

One person on Twitter wondered if the doll "comes to life at night". Some even joked about it being part of any "unsolved murders in Morningside".

Someone else added: "Thanks for that - not sure I'll be sleeping tonight. Need to know *where* in Morningside so that I can avoid it." Birthlink Thrift Shops also commented: "Absolutely not. No thanks. That reduction is written in blood, isn't it? ".

Margaret Gray shared: "I saw this today . Creepiest thing ever. Then I saw the price." Jackie Morrison asked: "Any unsolved murders in Morningside? There's your culprit." Barry Turnbull jokingly declared: "So that's where Baby Jane got to." Eileen Findlay had a suggestion and said: "Set fire to it immediately. "
