WATCH: Creepy film of moving puppet proves spooky smash hit on web
A spooky puppet has been filmed apparently moving in a cabinet - and has become an internet hit.
The creepy marionette been captured on film moving inside a sealed cabinet in the dead of night. And it has attracted more than 14,000 likes on YouTube.
Paranormal investigator, Jayne Harris, 32, of Stourbridge, stored it inside a glass container and recorded it every night for three months - after its previous owner claimed it tried to choke him to death.
Finally, last month she was left dumbfounded after her cameras caught the chilling moment the wooden doll appears to come to life.
Night vision footage shows the puppet's operating cross slowly moving upright before crashing into one of the sealed box's glass panes.
It comes after the doll's previous owner claimed to have been choked by a spirit connected to the children's toy and also experiencing haunting nightmares.
Jayne, who specialises in investigations of haunted dolls, said: "I've never had anything as exciting as this. I've caught pictures of mists, orbs and shadows but nothing as physical as this video evidence.
"Normally you expect to see an orb or a shadow, but as soon as I saw a bit of movement and a glint from the metal hooks it made me jump and I knew we'd recorded something important. We've always kept the puppet in a sealed blessed cabinet as it's a safe zone. It also means we can keep our experiments as controlled as possible.
"The cabinet has no doors, so you would have to physically lift all four sides and the base off to move it, there are not any holes or space for anything to sneak in there either."
She acquired it from a man who had cleared out his father's home, but kept the toy.
"Now we're going to keep filming with motion sensors as this is just one video and we want to build a bigger picture currently we don't know the name or anything else about the spirit.
"Our ultimate goal is to find out as much as we can about the spirit and then try to understand why he is still here," she added.
Jayne, a trained psychologist who has been investigating spiritual attachment to haunted puppets for 17-years, said she keeps it inside a container blessed by holy water secluded in her basement.
