点评:This is one review I've been looking forward to writing.
I made sure we visited this place on our Northumberland holiday and I'm so glad I did.
Due to it being paranormal I went with my oldest two children and my wife and twins elsewhere.
It's a tiny place but that adds to the charm.
Firstly let's discuss the dolls, there is a room full of dolls upstairs, now this building is eerie enough, then you enter this small back bedroom full of dolls and they have stories.
The staff have written a handy guide which tells you about the spirits residing in each one so you know which ones are likely to brutally murder you if you look at them the wrong way.
Now I'm not going to spoil which ones are which I advise you to bring something from whatever religion you belong to and hold it close and don't turn your back on them.
Next room upstairs has a single doll in it because apparently it doesn't wish yo be moved, can't say I blame him I wouldn't want to be in doll room with that lot either over night, so he sits alone on a chair near the fireplace.
This room had lots of paranormal paraphernalia, such as antique vampire hunting kits.(Yes these were a thing, 70s Highgate Cemetery is a good example)
This room has a coffin in the room which the dolls in the adjacent room probably intend to put one unfortunate visitor into after dismembering them.
Many ouija boards should any of the dolls want to summon their demonic pals and tarot cards to confirm that you have no future when the dolls tear you limb from limb.
Now downstairs is very small however has a glass cabinet with some great things in it including very macabre pictures, which you can't view the originals but they do have scans you can view.
All in all I love this place, it is free and all they ask is a donation if you can, which we did as its already amazing but with a bit of backing and publicity could become even better.
They have a gift shop which I think was very fairly priced.
Good luck and remember to check in your back seat before driving away incase one of the dolls is back there with a pickaxe ready to hack you to pieces.
翻译:这是我一直期待着要写的评论。
在诺森伯兰郡度假时,我特意安排我们去这个地方参观,真庆幸自己这么做了。
由于这里涉及超自然现象,我只带了两个大孩子去,妻子和双胞胎则去了别的地方。
这个地方虽小,却更显迷人。
首先来聊聊那些玩偶吧:楼上有个房间摆满了玩偶。这座建筑本身就已足够阴森了,而当你走进那个摆满玩偶的小卧室时,那些玩偶仿佛都有自己的故事。工作人员编写了一本实用的指南,介绍了存在于每个玩偶身上的“灵体”,这样你就能知道:要是用不当的眼神去看它们,哪些玩偶可能会残忍地杀掉你。
我就不剧透哪些玩偶是那种“危险分子”了;我建议各位带上自己宗教信仰中的相关物品,紧紧握在手里,并且千万别背对着它们。
楼上的下一个房间里只有一个玩偶,据说它不愿被人挪动呢。我也说不上来该不该责怪他——换作是我,也绝不想和那一群玩偶在房间里共度一夜。所以他就独自坐在壁炉旁的椅子上。
这个房间里有很多与超自然现象相关的物品,比如古老的吸血鬼猎杀工具套装。(没错,这种东西确实存在,70年代的海格特公墓就是个很好的例子。)房间里还有一口棺材,隔壁房间的那些玩偶估计打算把某个倒霉的访客肢解后塞进棺材里去吧。如果那些玩偶想要召唤它们的小恶魔伙伴的话,有很多通灵板可以使用;而塔罗牌则能证实:当这些玩偶把你撕成碎片后,你将毫无生还的可能。
楼下空间虽然很小,但有个玻璃柜,里面陈列着一些很棒的藏品,其中包括一些极为恐怖的图片。虽然无法看到原图,但馆方提供了扫描件供人观赏。
总的来说,我喜欢这个地方。它是免费开放的,他们只期望有能力的参观者能慷慨捐款而已。我们确实这么做了——它本来已经很棒了,但在一些支持与宣传的助力下,它有望变得更出色。
他们有个礼品店,我觉得那里的商品定价相当合理。
祝好运吧!不过开车离开前别忘了检查一下后座,以防有某个玩偶正拿着镐头,准备把你砍成碎片呢。
