The notion that an inanimate object such as a toy, a stuffed animal, a doll, or a ventriloquists dummy can incorporate a human soul or take on human characteristics has been with us for eons. There are people who collect replicas of \"famous\" haunted dolls, and moviemakers have done very well bringing them to life. The second half of this episode covers the career of radio and TV's famous ventriloquist Edgar Bergen and his wooden alter ego Charlie MacArthy, who managed to land a nice inheritance when Bergen died, leaving Bergen's daughter Candice with nothing.
