Haunted Dolls and the Labubu Curse
Episode 217
Tuesday, 9 September, 2025
Guest Co-Host Alert! This week on PNW Haunts & Homicides, Caitlyn is joined by her husband Chris for a spine-tingling dive into haunted dolls—and not just any dolls, but the infamous Labubu phenomenon that blurs the line between pop culture, paranormal, and true crime. First, we share unsettling Reddit tales where haunted dolls seemed to trigger a cascade of terrifying events—from unplugged electronics and wasp swarms to phantom weeping that shook entire households. Could a doll really unleash chaos, or are we just primed to see patterns in the uncanny?Then, we unravel the strange backstory of Labubu: a quirky, elf-like creation rooted in Nordic folklore and catapulted to global fame by Chinese toy giant Pop Mart—with a boost from none other than Lisa of BLACKPINK. What began as “ugly-cute” collectibles has morphed into viral superstition and counterfeit scams—and even sparked smuggling crackdowns and a bizarre brush with demon lore.Along the way, we ask: Why do people project fear onto objects meant to bring joy? What happens when corporate marketing collides with paranormal rumors? And how can a children’s toy spark both midnight terror and costly crime waves? If you love eerie encounters, viral legends, and the darker side of consumer culture, this episode is for you. Grab your sage and salt, because these dolls aren’t playing around. Visit our website!
