Australia is home to one of the oldest and creepiest “possessed” toys out there: Letta the Doll (Letta-Me-Out), a doll that was found under a purportedly haunted home and, according to its new owners, has been engaging in hijinks ever since.  Apologies for the pronunciation of Wagga Wagga; we checked this in a professional documentary produced on Letta and one news clip but a kind Australian let us know that it was inaccurate.

The Brown Lady of Raynham Hall—a vast estate that has belonged to the Viscount and Marquess Townshends for hundreds of years—might be one of Britain’s most famous ghosts. She’s rumored to be Dorothy Walpole Townshend, wife to the second Viscount and sister to Robert Walpole, Britain’s first prime minister. And an image of her ghost,  descending the staircase that appeared in Country Life Magazine in December of 1936? That photo is certainly one of most of the most notable examples of spirit photography in existence. Really, this episode has a lot of pedigree.    Hosted and Written by Laurah Norton  Researched by Laurah Norton and Bryan Worters Produced by Maura Currie Engineered by Brandon Schexnayder  Subscribe to our Substack: https://substack.com/@onestrangething   Sources on our website: https://www.onestrangethingpodcast.com/ Join us on Patreon for early release and ad-free episodes, exclusive stories, and bonus episodes: https://www.patreon.com/OneStrangeThing You can also subscribe to premium episodes on Apple Premium and Supercast!
