Finedon's Charity Girls School may seem like an unlikely hotbed of paranormal activity, but the story of the Dutch Doll has been sending shivers down the spines of locals for centuries.

They began to whisper about seeing and hearing the doll move around at night, and it's little wonder they were terrified.
