In the decade of the 80’s, the community of Franquez in the town of Morovis experienced a series of paranormal events. It all started when a young man from the neighboring neighborhood, along with another member of the church, was visiting one of the grounds where the Easter Youth was celebrated. It was there that they saw, in the shade of a tree, a lady who had her back to them. They associated her with the Virgin Mary since she asked them to pray there.

According to history the doll was manufactured by the Steiff Company of Germany and sold to the grandfather of the first owner of the doll in 1904. It was gifted as a birthday present to Robert Eugene Otto in Key West. It’s thought that the clothes the toy have were an outfit that Eugene has worn as a child. Another legend says that was a voodoo doll gifted as retaliation to the family.
