Summary

Author, good witch and paranormal TV personality Patti Negri joins us to talk about her lifelong fascination with dolls and her new book Dollcraft: A Witch’s Guide to Poppet Magic and Haunted Dolls. From Hollywood’s obsession with haunted dolls to real-world cases that have left people shaken, Patti shares why these innocent-looking objects capture so much fear and curiosity. We also hear about her personal experiences with infamous dolls like Peggy and Annabelle, and how to tell if an item you’ve brought home might be more than just porcelain and lace. But it’s not all chills. Patti also opens up about the magical side of her work, introducing us to the world of poppets and how they can be used for protection, healing, and positive manifestation. We explore the difference between a haunted doll and a cursed doll, why intention matters, and how working with these vessels taps into something deeply human. It’s a mix of spooky stories and empowering insight you won’t want to miss. You can find Patti's book at Amazon: https://amzn.to/45WiycR Thanks Patti!

1:34.2	subject so popular, do you think? Well, Hollywood, for one, Hollywood has done that, like with the
