Five Objects. Five Stories.
House Fire, 1930s / Acquired 2023
Pulled from the ashes of a house fire that claimed everything else, this porcelain doll survived nearly intact — save for the scorch marks that now streak her face. Since being acquired in 2023, her owners have reported objects rearranging themselves, and a particular fixation she seems to have with anything that glitters.
“She has a fascination for jewelry.”
Italy Auction House
SOLD!!
Italy, Late 1800s
An automaton purchased at an Italian auction house, originally built as a stage prop for a magician whose name has been lost to time. The craftsmanship is exquisite, but it is the stories from those who have spent time alone with her that keep people talking. Former owners describe cold spots, the scent of old perfume, and the distinct feeling of being watched.
“Her spirit makes an appearance.”
Jaipur, India / Ancient
Discovered in the estate of a Rajasthani noble family in Jaipur, this mirror carries an age that no one has been able to determine. Those who have gazed into it for too long report seeing things that should not be there — figures standing behind them in empty rooms, faces that are not their own.
“Reflections morphed into demonic entities.”
South America
A hand-carved wooden box from South America, connected to the disappearance of a child whose family kept it as a memorial. The box has changed hands many times since, and each owner describes the same thing: the lid opens on its own, toys inside rearrange themselves, and the sound of a child laughing can sometimes be heard late at night.
“That definitely was not normal.”
Oral Tradition
6000 BC
Oral Tradition / 6000 BC
The oldest artifact in the collection has no physical form. It is a sacred mantra passed down through oral tradition for thousands of years — a sequence of sounds believed to open a doorway between the living and the dead. Raman learned it from a practitioner in India who warned him to use it only on stage, and never alone.
“Some things are older than objects.”
