A man who found a 'creepy' doll under a house has since seen his luck dramatically change. Kerry Walton, from Warwick, Queensland, pulled the doll out of the dirt and estimated it had been there for some 200 years.

He gave the toy the name 'Letta Me Out' and said it had Romani roots. In a 2002 interview, he said: "It frightened me. It put the wind right up me. After I settled down a bit and realised what it was, I thought 'This is a nice find'."

An image of the doll has recently resurfaced on social media in recent days thanks to its creepy appearance. However, it turns out it has brought Kerry a wave of good luck in the years since he found it. In a Reddit post, one person shared a photograph of Letta Me Out sitting upright on a chair.

in response, one user said: "Should have left it there. People need to realise you don't have to take random stuff home." Another user added: "I would not have Letta it into my house." A third user said: "It was left there for a reason. I don't even want to leave this comment."

One more user added: "Are you being haunted now?" However, since welcoming Letta Me Out into his home, Kerry's antique collection has skyrocketed in price. He cashed in on this and went on to buy a house on a luxury estate on the outskirts of Brisbane.

Kerry added: "We were broke all the time, no money at all. Then he [the doll] turned up and things started to change." Following this, Kerry made the doll an honorary family member, vowing to never sell him. He has since created the doll an Instagram page where he posts updates about the impact it has had on his life.

However, unconvinced by the doll's good luck, another Reddit user said: "So, when does filming start for the horror movie?" One more added: "I’ve seen this movie. Something’s are better left alone..." A third user said: "I would punch it and burn it and dance around it while it melts."
