Haunted Isles -in the company of Grace Clairmont

  Hello I'm Grace Clairmont, as a result of my post about a haunted doll (here) I was given the opportunity to visit the home of a collector named Vanessa, I've written about this here: Interview with a Haunted Doll Collector Part 1 and here: Interview with a Haunted Doll Collector Part 2 Questions and Answers. This is Part 3 which has morphed from an interview with a collector to an interview with a haunted doll seller as it turns out that Vanessa sells some conduit vessels, the ones that don't fit in well with her "haunted family" and home life. So here we go:  Part 3 of an Interview with a Haunted Doll Collector and Seller of Haunted Dolls   Question 1:  When did you first decide to sell a doll from your collection and why? Answer:  I'd bought a doll from a seller on Etsy, her personality description had made her sound like a good fit with my other spirit vessels.

I was invited to see them and as they say after that the rest is history. Question 2: How long have you been collecting haunted dolls? Answer: About 10 years. My fi...

  As a result of my Haunted EBay Doll post here  , I was invited into the home of Vanessa, a haunted doll collector. I felt slightly unnerved sitting in Vanessa's living room surrounded by porcelain dolls whilst she made us a pot of tea. There seemed to be a hundred eyes watching me, glass eyes, the room was filled with Vanessa's collection of porcelain dolls. I could hear Vanessa in the kitchen, she was talking to the resident kitchen cat, it wasn't a live cat. It was a spirit cat whose conduit vessel, a large china cat figurine, sat on the work surface. Casting my eyes around the living room I noted several cat ornaments amongst the dolls. Were they ornaments or were they also conduit vessels? And what about the soft toy cat draped across the back of an armchair?   When Vanessa returned to the living room I asked her if her cat collection were also conduit vessels,  "Oh yes," she replied, "I love cats, I'd be a mad cat lady if I wasn't allergic to t...
