"Vincent" A victim of Harold's attacks 2014-2015 What is the truth behind this seemingly harmless doll? Is it haunted? Is it cursed? Possessed? Or are the stories about it nothing more than a hoax? After winning the doll on eBay in 2004, Anthony Quinata decided to search for the answer to these questions. Starting from scratch, he described it as a "1,000 piece puzzle with 1,000 pieces missing and no picture to go on." In 2005, convinced that something diabolical was going on with the doll, he took it out of the public eye, hiding it in a storage unit.
