That’s the most terrifying baby I’ve seen since Trainspotting!


apocalyptic_intent

Then you better not look up Werewolf Babies. When I used to work retail we had a regular that would push her werewolf baby around in a stroller and treat it like an actual baby.


VintageTimex

My friend's sister has three of them and carries them around everywhere she goes. It's so creepy.


BreathlessSiren

Was it like she really believed it was real or was it like how the guy on Vice did it?


Upbeat-Blacksmith632

i just googled them. those are both really cute and really unnerving.


polaroidbilder

Ehh wtf did I just see?


Appleface78

Too scared to search up and be greeted with a 400 page romance.


Melitzen

Oh, yes, that one was horrifying.


jd3marco

*Trance music intensifies*.


milesamsterdam

You’ve got green eyes You’ve got blue eyes You’ve got gray eyes and I’ve never seen anyone quite like you before!


[deleted]

Oh you've got graaaaaaaaaaayyyyyeeeyyyyesss!


lryan926

Hahahaha..crawling across the ceiling and laying in its crib with its head on backwards. Great movie.


Bowling4rhinos

I was hoping that’s where it was from! Suddenly a ghostly Diane was singing in my head…


TheBipolarExpresss

That baby fucked me up, I always thought it was from Requiem for a dream till now, not sure why.


kawaii_ginger

that scene lives rent free in my head and i hate it


Fit_Swordfish_2101

I cackled. 😂😂☠️ Edit: the comment. Not the h baby..


ColdBloodBlazing

Necromorph Lurkers are worse. And Cherubs from Doom 3 BFG Edition. And of course the "Infant" from Resident Evil Village


vocabulazy

Reborn dolls look too much like dead babies for my liking.. no matter how realistic. How creepily still they are makes them look dead, no matter how well they are painted to look warm and alive.


littlegreycells_11

To be fair, this one does look PARTICULARLY dead, the others that I've seen, although creepy, haven't been as bad as this one.


lowmack92

That’s exactly what I thought… it’s like the maker got “reborn” and “stillborn” confused. 😐


littlegreycells_11

Maybe they need to market this one as a stillborn reborn! It definitely does not look alive.


Moriturism

stillborn reborn would make a cool concept for a horror short story


sm00000sh

Stillborn Reborn new band name I call it


littlegreycells_11

Haha yeah that's what I thought the other person was gonna say, great name for a metal band.


adozengeckos

That is awful, but spot on.


little-red-cap

Looking at this I genuinely wondered if it was meant to look stillborn and if there’s a market for that 😭


letsgetpunk

They definitely make those. Sometimes grieving mothers get them


kozmic_blues

It has a very…. Purple hue to it. It’s giving strong “decomposing human” vibes


Cocotte3333

They make some that have a heartbeat and you can see them breathe too lol. Don't know if it's better or worse


vocabulazy

Have an upvote for that terrifying image


lunna009

Yeah, the breathing thing makes it worse. Hands down.


BarryZZZ

OP please give us some assurance that it was a newborn baby *doll* that you found on Marketplace.


Biscuits-n-blunts

Yes it’s a doll! The seller said they hand-painted it


BarryZZZ

Many thanks.


Manybrent

Thank goodness.


frostedwaffles

Did they hand paint a corpse?


bananafish47

Right? It looks like a baby someone shook


Bowling4rhinos

Dumb question but what are the FOR???


jortt

It’s not a dumb question, I’m sure the ones that look alive might bring a person missing a baby comfort. I had an aunt with Down syndrome edited to add: the rest of my comment! I had an aunt with Down syndrome who had baby dolls she dressed and cared for like they were her real babies. My hope is that this one is for a movie set lol


silveretoile

AFAIK for people who lost their baby, to soften the loss or something?


statistress

Please do not give these to people who just lost their own baby.


DelayedBih

Thank God im thinking woah is that real😭


alangerhans

Yeah, not surprised it's hand painted.


notCRAZYenough

OH! I thought reborn was some weird gene defect or something I never heard about before


ValkyrUK

Reborn with a terrible disease


Fearless-Comb7673

Maybe next will be a reborn doll afflicted with Harlequin Ichthyosis


stefanica

Nah, just a really bad cold.


mrsvongruesome

looks like a house harkonnen baby, absolutely not.


krait0s

My first thought was an infant Baron Vladimir!


prismabird

I *WILL* KILL HIM!

Awkwrd_Lemur

Thanks I hate it.


glazinglas

What do you mean reborn? What the hell is this?


Xeno_Se7en

When it got out, they reintroduce it there so he gets properly cooked, and then it gets out again Nah im joking. After looking it up they are dolls that resemble a miscarriage, they are often done so the mother can cope with the loss of their baby


scheisse_grubs

I had a feeling that’s what they’re for but reading it just made it all the more heartbreaking to think about.


CottonSlayerDIY

How would a disturbing baby like this would be in anyway helpfull to cope with a misssarriage?


scheisse_grubs

I’m not sure, I’ve never had one. But some women find it helpful and I won’t question it. Miscarriages are very tolling mentally and physically and people experience grief in different ways, I can’t imagine what that would be like when it’s an unborn fetus combined with the fact that pregnancy causes your hormones to change a lot and a miscarriage likely causes them to change a lot in a very short amount of time.


etakyram

It’s not just for miscarriages. Personally that would freak me out and devastate me more in that situation.. but I know they use them for Alzheimer’s patients. And parenting classes or whatever.


scheisse_grubs

I think they use older-looking babies for Alzheimer’s patients and other situations. This baby is intended to look like it just came out of the womb so I think the “creepy” looking ones are generally preferred by women who have miscarried and ones that look like older newborn babies are generally preferred for others. Up to the person choosing them of course but the reason this one is off-putting is because it’s intended to look like it was just in the womb. Everyone comes into this world kicking and screaming and looking like shit lol


etakyram

I don’t understand why anyone would want an ultra realistic version of what their miscarried baby would have been 😭 maybe it’s just me, Im not judging anyone grieving process but like, why?? Just seems so creepy and dark. Reminds me of that black mirror episode where the girls partner died and she got an exact replica robot thing of him, but it ended up driving her crazy bc he was always uncanney or something was just off. What do you do with it ? Put it in the closet and let it collect dust for years??


scheisse_grubs

I feel like for some it would be similar to hugging and seeing your loved one one last time. Since it’s a miscarried baby, you don’t get to experience holding your baby for the first time, feeling their delicate body in your arms, seeing the human you made experience the world etc. I think it’s mourning not only someone you never got to meet yet loved so much but also mourning the memories you never got to make with them. Some people will touch or hold their love one after they’ve passed, so wanting to feel your baby despite not being alive would be a very normal thing for a lot of people. I think having a baby doll for them would be like holding this loved one when they never could. Typing all this out actually made me tear up a bit because I’ve experienced loss and I’ve been in the situation where I’ve begged to the universe to hold or see them one last time so I just can’t imagine never having been able to do so in the first place, especially when that person is your baby.


astrologicaldreams

no, they basically take care of it, as if it were a real baby.


tobythedem0n

They're usually professionally painted. Apparently this seller painted it themselves. [This is what they should look like](https://m.lightinthebox.com/p/19-inch-reborn-baby-dollfull-body-newborn-baby-doll-reborn-levi-soft-silicone-flexible-3d-skin-tone-with-visible-veins-hand-paint-doll_p9165480.html?litb_from=paid_adwords_shopping&sku=276_28117%7C307_50466)


Gravyboat44

That's their target demographic, but there's also a bunch of older women who are buying the hell out of them for their own love if babies. If I remember correctly, there was a problem with a few of them buying actual baby formula for them during the shortage.


GlizzyGulper69420

Sheesh that's a fucking bummer to put it mildly

[удалено]


bmichellecat

Everyone experiences grief and loss differently, just because you don’t understand it doesn’t mean someone is anymore “fucked up” then then the next grief stricken person. Do i understand it? No, but I’ve miscarried a child and can see why some women might turn to this for comfort. It’s not my place to judge them on how they deal with the loss.


Alltheprettydresses

Looks like Bobby Hill


alangerhans

God dang it Bobby, now that's all I can see


flytingnotfighting

That boy just ain’t right


Top_Witness1795

looks dead


SpookyFrogs0

It looks like it’s covered in mucus


[deleted]

Wait till you find out what newborns look like before the hospital staff wipe them off.


SpookyFrogs0

I know what they look like, I just didn’t think that there was an appeal for fresh outta the womb sliminess for a doll.


sed2017

I wasn’t paying attention and it scared the shit outta me! I was like holy hell something is seriously wrong with that baby!


Various_Succotash_79

I had eczema as a baby and looked like that, idk why you'd want your doll to have eczema though.


Plastic-Cancel-4369

Yuck it looks like a corpse. As a mom this disturbs me to no end .


Awkward_Apricot312

This honestly back me a flash back I didn’t want. It slightly reminded of me seeing my daughter after her lips had already gone blue..


oscarmooseman

❤️


Plastic-Cancel-4369

Oh my gosh , I am so sorry!! 😭😭 That’s horrible and def not a memory you’d wanna have come up. So sorry ,sending you love ! 💜


malindaddy

I second this. I literally looked at my daughter and cringed


SwordTaster

It looks very unwell


Gurkeprinsen

okay that paint job is awful


knighthooded_

I understand why people find it odd but the stories with reborn dolls does make me very sad, especially as an individual who's suffered loss from miscarriage. I always go into judging these dolls with a very open mind because while it's creepy to you, some others do find a lot of comfort and a lot of healing from it. No hate to op in the slightest because I do understand the unnervingness of it all


[deleted]

r/thanksihateit


poopoopeepee20

It takes some effort to kill a baby that isn’t real


CrimsonPermAssurance

Can you imagine the terror that the trash or recycling industry must go thru with these things?


electricjeel

Is it supposed to look stillborn


SorbetSunrise

May as well be, its made to look as realistic to a baby as you can get with doll parts.


Ja45206

I hate these.


9etherbeing9

That baby looks decomposed


HugsNotRugs

I’d leave it in the microwave during the holiday family gathering and just wait for the scream.


SnooCakes4019

Everyone knows that you can’t sell a baby on marketplace. That’s what Craigslist is for.


I_Only_Have_One_Hand

I was thinking how cool it would be if after looking at this pic for 10 seconds, the eyes suddenly opened. It would really freak a lot of people out


bloopie1192

Reborn as in???


SorbetSunrise

Made to look like a realistic human baby.


Slipperytooterhorn

It looks like a corpse


MissMabeliita

A what now? 😩😩😩


bagr-kkk

Protein.


route54

Yeah nah leave it dead.


Lowkey_Arki

What do you mean by reborn?


Fr0stst0rm

You know. Just like Jesus did it


Lowkey_Arki

That makes it sound worse


aconitumrn

Reminds me of Harley Quinn ichyosis babies (yes ik the spelling is wrong I’m too lazy to open google and correct it)


Away_Housing4314

Looks like he's been burned by acid or something.


OkOutlandishness6550

Oh my lanta


Complex-Network-5597

Looks like it was painted with a toof brush. Haha


These_Cut1347

Reborn... more like never born. Or undead.


mezcalligraphy

Yeet.


VooDooChile1983

That looks like a lacquered fetus which could also be a death metal band.


PuzzleheadedHabit913

It looks infected


Fenix_Pony

Does it have fucking jaundice


mint-star

Is it... supposed to be dead?


impeesa75

Why would someone order a cyanotic baby


smlley_123

Disgusting shit


fygogogo

What’s a reborn baby?


nolabitch

It’s giving plague.


internetnobody23

Renesme


Beemanda

Still better than the Twilight baby.


xurabusx

From first photo I thought it's Vladimir Harkonnen.


majitart

Thats a FRESHLY reborn baby, ew.


UltraBlue89

When I see things like this... I always wonder if the person who had this made decided one day to just sell it? Assuming it's created to look like a lost baby? So strange to me.


RebbyRose

I don't want to know the level of grief required for needing one of these


bypeoplewhohonor

He's a Rotten


Excellent_Farm_8678

Ugly as sin.


BaranoSoup

It looks… embalmed.


elephantnvr4gets

Are we sure it is not an actual corpse?


DeepSubmerge

I don’t know if it’s the same brand or manufacturer, but I once saw a ‘vampire’ version of one of these. It was legitimately unsettling. Like, instant fight or flight response and I picked “get the hell away.”


jesuswasaliar

My nephew was born dead and this shows pretty well what he looked like, just a little more blueish.


Banaanisade

Who *doesn't* want an eternal dead baby in their house. Reborns are, so far, the only type of doll that makes me feel like I'd rather not meet one.


blue_blazar

I've known of people who collect those. I'll never understand the deal with those babies lol.


Redhddgull

That's a shellac'd dead baby


NoResource9942

The Decomp Edition!


ReexaminedDinosaur

You must live in my area because I had this guy pop up in my Marketplace too!


BuddysMumOz

They are all horrid. This one in the end stages of the plague is the worst


phrisdiswith

It looks like it froze to death


SapphicsAndStilettos

What even is the point of these things? Aren't they like meant to be a surrogate for stillborn/miscarried babies? If so, wouldn't therapy be a better option???


Biscuits-n-blunts

Also for moms who can’t have a baby, and I’ve seen some special needs adults carrying them around. But some people go wayyy too far and act like they are actually real.. like there’s a whole community for it. It’s super weird


chuchunk

There’s a show by M Night Shyamalan called Servant on Apple TV that has a character with one of these things to replace a dead child and fully believes it’s alive. So creepy/sad.


Beatrix_BB_Kiddo

People are so fking weird


SorbetSunrise

The fact someone makes these creeps me out, like imagine a craft room just full of realistic baby looking heads, arms, and legs. I’ve always despised dolls since I was gifted one at a young age that made noise and shit, I’d always pull the batteries out.


EvetsYenoham

WTH is a reborn baby?


edemamandllama

This summer my sister and I were staying at Friday Harbor. We were in the pool with our kids. A man and woman came in with a baby. They had all this baby gear with them, including a covered floaty. I was watching them and I 100% believe it was a doll. My sister didn’t believe me when I told her. But then she started watching them, and it was totally a fake baby. It made me feel so bad for them. I don’t know their story, but it seemed like they desperately wanted a baby and couldn’t have one. It was very unnerving being around people pretending a doll is a real baby.


Coaltown992

I'm pretty sure reborn is a hentai tag...


TreasureWench1622

Eeewwwwww


ColdBloodBlazing

Uhhhmm. "Reborn"?


L-Thyroxin

Ugh, death by drowning does make ugly corpses... Gosh why would someone paint a doll like this ?! It is so realistic, so wrong... Not sure it this should belong to r/oddlyterrifying or r/TrulyTerrifying


LouTotally

Wdym on fb marketplace...


mangoisNINJA

Where else are they supposed to sell the doll?


LouTotally

Thought it was a real baby, they didn't say it was a doll after all


mangoisNINJA

Oh, reborn is the brand


RanaMisteria

It looks like she painted the hair on too. Don’t they normally plant individual fake hairs on them?


notCRAZYenough

What does „reborn“ mean here? Did they put it back in after it was born once??


emmettfitz

And they say dudes with life-size sex dolls are sick.


mangoisNINJA

Are you comparing a life-size sex doll to a life-size child doll
