Robert The Doll is an allegedly haunted doll that is housed at the East Martello Museum, in Key West, Florida.

He was once owned by a painter and author Robert Egeune Otto, who went by Gene. It’s generally thought that Robert was given to Otto as a present from his grandfather following a trip to Germany. He gave the doll his first name, Robert.

Gene would take the doll everywhere, as he traveled the world with his parents.
