Initial data

Initial information from sources or from an eyewitness
Incident date:

Location: 
Brazil

A resident of Brazil at one of the cemeteries found doll with teeth in the form of pointed fangs. Kind of creepy toy sat on the tombstone next to the children's bottle with blood-red liquid.

Telling about the discovery, Mexican media compared this creepy doll with a doll-killer named Chucky from the movies, horror movies "child's play." Indeed, all dressed in white doll seems alive because of the moving black eyes following the camera, and a sinister smile.

In just four days the video has been viewed more than three hundred thousand social media users. One of them called terrible toy "doll of the devil." However, many viewers believe that movable eyes dolls are just the trick:

"It's an optical illusion, but it does not prevent it from being haunting."

In Mexico, the creepy doll is not new. Near Mexico city between the canals of Xochimilco there is even an island with doll heads hanging from the branches of trees.

According to local legend, the dolls started to appear after the caretaker of the island, Julian Santana Barrera found the body of a dead girl. Soon after, he came across a doll that apparently belonged to the dead girl. In her memory he hung the doll on a tree. He was never able to forget about the dead kid, so the rest of my life continued to hang dolls on the trees to protect the island from the spirit of the girl.

Hypotheses

List of versions containing features matching the eyewitness descriptions or material evidence

Deliberate falsification

This version includes any falsifications that imitate unexplained phenomena both from the outside: practical jokes, flash mobs, fake news, witness fraud, staging, etc.

There are many ways to make something similar to a ghost or a flying saucer from improvised materials, without using video and photomontage.

Many homemade things made for the sake of a joke, a practical joke or a direct imitation of a mystical being or event can be taken as unexplained not only in photos and videos, but also in reality.

Witness the picture

The illusion of tracking a human or animal (it could be an inanimate object such as a gun barrel) is the result of properties of the brain see and perceive things as he used to. If, for example, the eyes in the picture are drawn that are directed straight forward, when viewed from a different angle for looking nothing will change, because it is a flat image. The brain perceives this image as a three-dimensional, why there is the illusion that the gaze is directed at the viewer.

Investigation

Versions testing, their confirmation or refutation. Additional information, notes during the study of materials

This doll is a vampire was made by Julie lane. On the facebook page even has a note that it works not recommended for anyone under 14, as well as art objects and are meant for collectors.

This photo shoot with a doll in the cemetery were made specifically for advertising. Apparently it worked, because the doll already purchased.

Overall, this is not the only doll vampire baby among her works.

In this case, the illusion of camera tracking is also achieved as in the "witness paintings": the special structure of the eye. Privedem photo from instagram page of a girl doll, where they are well visible:
