Robert the Doll was the boyhood companion of Robert Eugene (Gene) Otto, a resident of Key West, Florida. Early on, strange things began to happen while Robert the Doll was around: items went missing or were moved around. The Doll was frequently blamed for the mischief, giving rise to the statement 'Robert Did It!'. People who were familiar with Robert believed that the doll changed his facial expressions while neighbors claimed the doll moved from window to window in the family home when the family was out. When Gene Otto died in 1974, Robert was placed in the attic and forgotten about for a number of year until he was donated to the Key West Art & Historical Society and put on display at Fort East Martello Museum
