A TikTok creator has an important message for the people who stole some items out of her yard recently.
In the now-viral video with more than 9.3 million views and 14,000 comments, the creator shares the scary reason the thief will soon regret taking what they did from her yard sale.
TikToker Has Terrifying Message For The Thieves That Stole Dolls From Her Yard
When someone went into this content creator's yard and took some old dolls, they probably had no idea what they were actually taking.
"To the thief that stole these dolls at a yard sale at 3 o'clock this morning, you're going to regret it," TikTok creator who goes by @lenduhandearry on the app said.
"They're haunted. Had you waited til sunlight, you would have seen the sign that was under them that said 'Haunted dolls. If you have children, please don't buy.'"
She then explained that she put these dolls in a "glass hutch" and it got so cold that it fogged up.
"Enjoy. No takesies-backsies," she continued. "And not to mention, the only reason why I even had a yard sale to sell them is because they threw a toy behind my baby and missed her head like that much."
She said no one wanted to buy them because she warned them about "what these dolls do when they're in your vicinity."
She even said they would move right in front of people.
The Comment Section Of The Viral Video Didn't Disappoint!
Thousands of thoughts poured into the comment section to discuss the "karma" that is coming the thief's way, as well as tons of humor.
"I’m cackling, that’s karma," one person noted. Another said, "Jokes on you they got out on their own."
Another viewer added, "Make sure you’re checking your basement, shed or garage. I had haunted dolls I found again years later in my cellar."
Some viewers suggest that the dolls chose their new owner.
"Ohhh girl they picked that new owner they knew what they were doing," one person said.
And then there was someone who said what many were probably thinking, "This is literally the start to like 6 different horror movies."
A Follow-Up Video Explains The Backstory
The TikToker explained a little of the backstory of the haunted dolls in a follow-up video.
"I collect dolls, so I just bought them," she said, before pointing out some of the dolls in her collection.
"So I was just scrolling on Facebook Marketplace and I saw a woman that put an ad for four antique dolls for free," she said. "One of them had a tag pinned to the chest saying it was appraised at $70, and I collect antique dolls."
She then revealed the "red flags" that she ignored. The first, when she got to the house to pick them up, they were sitting at the mailbox in a box, and the person giving the dolls away wouldn't go anywhere near the box.
"Soon as I get home, I put the dolls on my bed and I'm taking pictures, and I noticed I'm looking through the camera and I noticed that one's blinking an eye," she continued. "And I'm looking through the camera so I'm assuming it's just like a camera glitch or something."
She then noticed that one of the dolls moved on its own. But because they are a bit heavy, she just chalked it up to that. But then it leaned back up.
She Pretended To Continue Taking Pictures But Was Actually Recording The Dolls
She decided that she should try to catch this on video, and the dolls "just moved." She then made sure that they weren't the type of dolls that you can "wind up" and spin.
"I'm trying to find out any excuse of why they would move like what they're doing and their eyes blinking," she said. "There's no way to explain it."
So she then decided to send the lady on Facebook Marketplace a message asking for specifics about the dolls, but she blocked her and deleted the original ad.
The TikToker explained that the dolls kept her and her husband up at night with knocking and scratching noises, which only got worse.
"I would just sit around and just watch them because it was so bizarre to just see that type of activity all the time," she continued. "Just so nonchalantly just move all the time."
She shared that the worst thing that ever happened was when all four of her stove burners were on high when she got home from being out.
"And one time we had to call the cops because we thought someone was breaking in because they were banging on either the front door or the living room wall, something so hard it sounded like someone's kicking in our door," she said. "So we were barricaded in the bedroom calling the cops."

The Yard Sale Thief Didn't Take All The Haunted Dolls
While the thief got away with some dolls, they didn't take them all. The TikTok creator shared that she's got one left and she's making it stay outside.
"There's one left and it's outside over by the trash," she said. "And it looks creepy as f-ck."
She explained that this doll came in the box with the other haunted dolls that were taken from the yard.
Another follow-up video explained that the dolls were out in the yard for three nights and it apparently angered them. She said the first night they were outside, there was nothing but banging all night long. She also said despite having two cameras outside, she can't find any footage of anyone stealing them or "them walking off."
One viewer wrote in the comment section, "I am fully invested in your story. This is crazy." Another added, "I'm just hoping the doll's new owner has a Tiktok because I'm dying to see that POV."
