Ian Rogers owns nine haunted dolls all of which he says contain their own personality . Ian's favourite doll is Annabel, who he thinks is haunted by a seven-year-old girl who drowned . Ian, who is single, and a vehicle image inspector, from Leicester, says that his obsession with the supernatural began at a very young age. 'It started when I was a kid and I was looking into the Loch Ness Monster and ghosts. 'I went on a couple of ghost walks and then went on a hunt. It got me hooked.' The £50 haunted dolls, which Ian gets from Jayne Harris, a professional in paranormal activity, are said to contain the spirits of people who have passed on. Jayne keeps the dolls for around six months to get an idea of their personalities before selling them on. Ian says that he always goes to Jayne for the dolls because that way he can be sure of their authenticity. 'I know that I can trust her,' he says. 'If I bought them from eBay then there's no guarantee that they're actually haunted and I could just be being ripped off. 'Jayne is able to give me a bit of background about the dolls but I enjoy learning about them myself.

Ian used to share his collection with his sister but she found the dolls too mischievous . Ian is pictured with the puppet, little is known about him other than he likes jazz and may be from Belgium . Although he is fond of his whole collection Ian definitely has a favourite: Annabel, a doll who he believes is haunted by the spirit of a seven-year-old girl who drowned while playing with her brother. Ian says that each of his dolls has their own story and he often asks others to try and figure out what might have happened to them. Ian said: 'I take the dolls with me to events that I host and get people to guess their stories. 'If someone guesses three things that we already know correctly then they get some money off. 'One lady said she could sense an 'Annie' so I went to get Annabel. She said she'd died and felt trapped. 'As soon as she picked up the doll she said she felt soaking wet, and that she knew Annabel had drowned.' Ian holds sessions with the dolls where guests interested in the paranormal can undertake a variety of activities.
