Most of the doll’s history is murky, but it has some great paranormal folklore.<br> <br> <br> <br> The Debate<br> <br> <br> <br> Rebecca and Pat debate if the doll is haunted before looking at stories told about Robert by his second owner, Myrtle Reuter, and those that worked and lived with her. They also look at just a few of the many, many stories from visitors who claim Robert destroyed their images of him and/or caused them bad luck.<br> <br> <br> <br> Poll Results<br> <br> <br> <br> Did listeners think the Queen Mary is haunted?
