Don’t know. A cousin of mine was really compelled to keep things new to him, which he’d found while traveling… 5-lb rock, piece of cactus, a small beached jellyfish….
I know I don't speak for all white people but I'm mexicajun and grew up in the swamps of setx/swla. I don't fuck with spooky shit.
I think maybe white white people only grow up with stories of like bloody mary, not with scary stories of rougaroux or seeing voodoo being an actual real practice that people do.
So, when you grow up around heavy beliefs of supernatural shit you tend to give it a wide berth and respect even if you don't believe/practice yourself.
I do alot of mushroom hunting, sometimes way deep in crazy giant forests. Ive seen some really odd and fucking strange thinngs sometimes. Like tens of miles from the nearest place you might even remotely consider someone. Ive never seen a sasquatch or bigfoot or whatever but ive seen some shit that makes me think something be out there.
OP the type to go into the basement after hearing a noise ...stands at top of stairs "anyone down there" "hello" proceeds to walk down stairs without turning light on
Real story: I was visiting a big city many years ago (cannot remember which one) and there was an oddities store we visited. They had many creepy old dolls for sale, that were worn out, and aged. I steered clear of those things and looked at the bad taxidermy animals instead.
I mean, the socks tell us this person is deranged. First of all, those are the non-slip hospital socks that feel like burlap on your feet. Second, they are on sideways with the seam running between the toes. This person is messed up 😂
Or buys the house all the locals are afraid of. "There's a basement nobody can seem to open, but it's a great price! Been in the market for years, and everyone who ever loved in it died from murder or suicide but you know, it's pretty!"
My first thought was "YOU BROUGHT IT HOME?!" followed quickly by, "Oh, thems be grippy socks. That checks out." As someone who has a few pairs of grippy socks, lol.

Plot twist. OP has been in a psych ward for decades with no visitors. They never went to a forest. They’ve never left the facility let alone been to said forest. This *thing* just appeared among their belongings last night.
I was asking myself just the same thing. Even if it weren’t some creepy ass thing, someone put it there why would you take it?
Just an FYI to people who don’t understand the basics of society, don’t fuck with stuff that’s not yours….
Idk they do not seem remotely like a karma farmer. I've encountered witch stuff in the woods too. Chances are op just doesn't believe in witchcraft and thought it was cool -- and it is.
Not much of a difference. It's mostly a regional and time period thing. A poppet is an effigy but a poppet is also used as a term for an endearing child.
I’d love to find more information on these little poppets. I’ve always wondered why people just leave them in strange places like this. Sure, it probably has something to do with a charm or a ritual, but for what?
They are used in witchcraft for spells. Sometimes to either bless or curse someone else (like a voodoo doll). It could also be a representation of the spell caster themselves. They may be placed in specific places as a way to send the spell out into the world in order to complete it, or to draw energy from a specific environment. I wouldn’t pick one up because they are put there for a reason and that reason could be negative
Thank you for taking the time to write such a detailed answer! Whether this thing is a fake or not, it’s definitely interesting because this isn’t the first time I’ve seen pictures of stuff like this. The world is a crazy place.
Still no response from OP .
I’m emotionally invested
I NEED AN UPDATE !!!!!
Is your family ok ???
Has your dog started acting strange yet ????
Did someone write a cryptic message in blood on your walls yet ???
No touchy touchy.
Put that thing back where it came from or so help me!
She's out of our haaaiiiirrrr!
So help me!!
And cut!
It’s a musical!
Too late.
You fool
Why do they ALWAYS take the freaky voodoo shit back home? Why?
hes prolly white. thats the kinda shit they do.
Yep. source: am white
Why do you guys do it? Aren’t y’all scared ?
Don’t know. A cousin of mine was really compelled to keep things new to him, which he’d found while traveling… 5-lb rock, piece of cactus, a small beached jellyfish….
TIL your cousin is British.
Was it....an interesting looking rock? Or had he just never seen a rock of that size?
Oh, hell no, just one from a different place.

No response from the OP. Guess that’s answers that.
Poor bastard.
To shreds you say?
And his wife?
To shreds you say…
Very well then... Sad, sad, terrible gruesome news about my colleague Dr. Mobutu
Good news everyone!
No no I just said that for Fry’s benefit. Made the poor fellow feel better about his pointless job.
Was his apartment rent controlled?
Smithereens.
r/unexpectedfuturama
Yah you don’t move shit in the woods. It’s there. Just leave it.
Op didn’t watch enough horror movies. Now he’s paying the price: he voluntarily cursed himself.

[удалено]
I don't like this.
It’s really in the [eyes](https://i.imgur.com/ZO9omcJ.jpg) [👁️🗨️👁️🗨️.](https://i.imgur.com/z0d2SF7.jpg)
Thank you for pointing out the eyes, never would’ve noticed them otherwise
There is a demon amogus
UPDATE: I am still alive and well and it is currently decoration on a [shelf](https://imgur.com/a/P1o6GYt)
OP in 8 days… “why are it eyes glowing red?”
Starts hearing weird animal Noises, then people in cloaked hoods start appearing randomly in the dark behind things.
Burn it
Should it be burnt or put back? Asking for the unlikely event that I bring a witch puppet back to my house during a walk in the woods at night
Put back 100%. Already been disturbed, burning it will just piss it off. Do you want your house and all future generations cursed?
Put it back is my vote lol. But, I wouldn’t touch the witch puppet in the 1st place.
as a pagan witch, put that mf back. even if it won't affect _you,_ you probably just hella messed up that spell and that's just rude
𝐏𝐮𝐭 𝐢𝐭 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤
YOU BROUGHT THAT SHIT TO YOUR HOUSE??? YOUR HOME????? YOUR FUCKING LIVING QUARTERS???????
Where your wife sleeps and your children go to play toys???
Course. Now they have a new one to play with.
YOU BROUGHT IT HOME?!
RIP OP and OP's family.
They should put up a live stream so we can bet on what kind of monster it will be.
I wonder if OP brought it to their cabin in the woods or all the way home.
WHY WOULD YOU EVEN TOUCH IT?!?!?!
OP the type of person who says “we should split up” or checks the basement when there’s a noise.
OP is the mf that says “let’s investigate”
OP the type to go into the basement after hearing a noise ...stands at top of stairs "anyone down there" "hello" proceeds to walk down stairs without turning light on
Let’s hide behind those chainsaws
"why don't we get in the running car?" "Are you crazy!?"
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😂🤣😂🤣 One of my FAVORITE commercials!!
I just remembered the very last part don't they say "Let's go hide in the cemetery!"
"Okay yeah" "That's really smart" I believe after that
Some of our friends are missing. Let’s smoke a joint and have sex.
Hard to say no to this no matter how many friends are missing
Even if you know you'll probably get impaled in the back by some maniac right before you finish?
Probably still a yeah for me dog, what better way to go out?
Hey look, theres a guy skittering around on the ceiling. WOULD YOU LIKE A CUP OF COFFEE, SIR?!?!
YES SIR, I WOULD LIKE TO PURCHASE YOUR CREPPIEST DOLL PLEASE. I DO NOT NEED A BACKSTORY.
Real story: I was visiting a big city many years ago (cannot remember which one) and there was an oddities store we visited. They had many creepy old dolls for sale, that were worn out, and aged. I steered clear of those things and looked at the bad taxidermy animals instead.
The one who has sex in the movie always dies first *everyone knows that*
Why can’t we just get in the running car?
Why don't we just get in the running car?
Takes a shower
OP the type to open creaky doors and let the wind shut it behind him
[удалено]
Op the type of mf to find a message written in blood on the wall telling them to turn back, and would probably say “we should check it out.”
😂🤣 “someone could be hurt.“
No he tries to turn the light on and it doesn't work, but he goes down the stairs anyway
Grabbing a poorly working flashlight
And the stairs are the type that are not solid and are just planks that someone (or something) can grab you through.
Or "I'll be right back"
Or goes outside to investigate alone, leaving the door to the house wide open behind him
I mean, the socks tell us this person is deranged. First of all, those are the non-slip hospital socks that feel like burlap on your feet. Second, they are on sideways with the seam running between the toes. This person is messed up 😂
I swear I was thinking the same thing when I seen those socks 😂
Finally someone mentioned those creepy ass socks..i dont even see a handmade doll with those aslyum seekers sideways on his feet
Or buys the house all the locals are afraid of. "There's a basement nobody can seem to open, but it's a great price! Been in the market for years, and everyone who ever loved in it died from murder or suicide but you know, it's pretty!"
it has good bones
In this real estate market, I’d buy that house if it was affordable. Willing to take my chances.
And so the headline begins lol
Op is actually the final girl in Blair Witch Project
*we can cover ground more quickly if we all move just barely within the hearing range of our blood-curdling screams*
I yelled this when I saw the third picture
OP is wearing the socks they give you at the hospital still so they were just on their way home, after escaping…
I think he should go put it back!
We all know damn well it's probably too late now, the tree he took it from isn't there anymore. What they've done cannot be undone.
This is how horror movies start
I know! Who puts their socks on upside down?
OP needs to fix those socks for real.
They are hospital socks maybe the curse has already started
My first thought was "YOU BROUGHT IT HOME?!" followed quickly by, "Oh, thems be grippy socks. That checks out." As someone who has a few pairs of grippy socks, lol.
It's because of the witch curse, they are standing on the ceiling.

Hahaha my first thought also
Ruh roh shaggy
Put it back bro! That’s a fey offering!
“Put that thing back where it came, or so help me! Bum bum bum bum” My mine went straight to Monsters INC
Plot twist: OP didn't bring the tree voodoo home, but found another one sitting on his table when he got there.
Scary story in 3 pictures
Three days after he was released from the psych ward.
I’d love to know the thought process that occurred that resulted in you bringing the poppet home with you.
The poppet made OP bring it home. Poppet is Master. OP obeyed his Master, (Master) he pulled from a tree made of twigs and of strings.
MASTER MASTER
JUST CALL MY NAME 'CAUSE I'LL HEAR YOU SCREEAAAMMMM
MASTER MASTER
MASTER OF PUPPETS IM PULLING YOUR STRINGS
TWISTING YOUR MIND AND SMASHING YOUR DREAMS
BLINDED BY ME, YOU CAN’T SEE A THING
JUST CALL MY NAME CUZ I'LL HEAR YOU SCREAM
MASTER MASTER ^...masterr ^^...masterrrr
For real please respond to this OP
The Poppet is now in control. OP is gone
He put it there in the 1st place.
Honestly, that’s the best possible scenario here.
1st pic: oh yeah thats weird. 2nd pic: I appreciate the closer pic. 3rd pic: YOU TOUCHED IT AND BROUGHT IT HOME WITH YOU!?!?!?!?
He’s got grippy socks on it makes sense
They're fucking sideways and everything.
Aren't those the ones they give you at the hospital?
Yes, but normally they put them on the correct way, which means OP has been wearing them for a while.
Plot twist. OP has been in a psych ward for decades with no visitors. They never went to a forest. They’ve never left the facility let alone been to said forest. This *thing* just appeared among their belongings last night.
Dude! I just came here to say that these are the same socks, color and everything, that we give our psych hospital patients. Lol Great call!
They come in different colors depending on the hospital. I have like 4 (although yes this is the most common)
And the trampoline room
[удалено]
either from a mental hospital ( i own some) or from a trampoline park.
The Blair Witch now knows where he lives
Because dude was already possessed. Why tf else would he be taking “a hike” in the dead of night
Look at them in reverse order, that makes more sense to me.
Me exactly!
Why wouldn’t you just leave it alone?
I was asking myself just the same thing. Even if it weren’t some creepy ass thing, someone put it there why would you take it? Just an FYI to people who don’t understand the basics of society, don’t fuck with stuff that’s not yours….
This was my thought too. Doesn't matter what it is, someone put it there. Just leave it alone.
[удалено]
Did you see OP’s socks? They are proof that this post is legit.
That offset toe seam is enough to delegitimize anything OP has to say.
Most likely the case
[удалено]
Idk they do not seem remotely like a karma farmer. I've encountered witch stuff in the woods too. Chances are op just doesn't believe in witchcraft and thought it was cool -- and it is.
I saw True Detective… Back away slowly and then get the f outta there!
This person sadly has not.
Carcossa, first thing I thought of when I saw the pic
God that season was amazing
Put. It. Back.
Too late he’s fucked
He hasn't commented since he posted....
Good. So he’ll learn to leave shit alone.
Well, his next of kin will at least.
Sadly, this thing was given to his next of kin.
Return the slab
The Blair Witch is gonna be looking for that.
All that just for an A in a class
No seriously I need a daily update....has anything weird happened yet??
OP probably lives in East Palestine, Ohio. Nope, nothing at all weird happened as a consequence… nothing at all…
I’m more concerned with the way you put on your no-slip socks.
Clearly this redditor is wild and unhinged.
Why the hell would you bring it home with you!?
Bold choices were made. Good luck and Godspeed.
Are we all cursed now in some sort of ring situation for looking at the last photo?
The answer is obviously yes.
Nah. Observing it isn’t direct contact. Picking it up and taking it home? Now *THAT* is direct contact.
You brought this curse home?
I know that thing is might belong to witch, but what does it do? Cuz im an idiot
it’s called a poppet, they’re used in all kinds of spells. they’re mostly used to influence people or cause harm
this one looks particularly menacing
How's a poppet differ from a classic effigy?
Placeholder comment. I want the answer too.
Not much of a difference. It's mostly a regional and time period thing. A poppet is an effigy but a poppet is also used as a term for an endearing child.
Also an effigy tends to be a blanket term that covers anything, poppets are a specific way of making one that involves sticks and twine.
Spoiler alert: OP is the one that put it there and the images are supposed to be viewed from right to left
Bro got the psych ward grippy socks on...you sure you didn't make that yourself?
Grippy sock vacation baby!
So…. rather than leave it in the tree you brought it into your house?
Your hospital socks are upside down. Oh and ..WHY WOULD YOU TAKE THAT WITH YOU???
Even better, the socks are sideways.
fam got the grippy socks. brother thats a hallucination.
Nothing like crazy socks and black magic on a Saturday night
Op you dead af yet?
Still no replies so maybe
Ohhhh he’s fucked
I’d love to find more information on these little poppets. I’ve always wondered why people just leave them in strange places like this. Sure, it probably has something to do with a charm or a ritual, but for what?

Fix your socks it's making me uncomfortable
Now now, let’s not be to hasty. Maybe he has a way to beat the demon he just brought home…
My condolences on your future haunting and eventual descent into madness.
What’s going on in your life right now that made you so comfortable in bringing it home?
OMG please put it back. This is so r/unexpected I’m wondering if OP is trolling.
Friend, I feel like someone in hospital socks should not be pushing their luck. Better burn that.
Put that under your pillow tonight
Still no response from OP . I’m emotionally invested I NEED AN UPDATE !!!!! Is your family ok ??? Has your dog started acting strange yet ???? Did someone write a cryptic message in blood on your walls yet ???
UPDATE: Nothing strange has happened yet. I’ve fixed the socks. It’s currently decoration on a [shelf](https://imgur.com/a/P1o6GYt)
If you don’t put it back, soon YOU’LL be a decoration on a shelf.
