USA - A woman amazed the Internet with this curious find from a second-hand store.

The woman with the username macuercollinsart shared her mysterious find on Reddit. She wrote that her sister found a black, cat-like object in the garbage can of a second-hand store, took it with her and hung it on her bedroom door.

Since then, they have been puzzling over what the strange figure, which has a long tail and looks mummified, is all about. They gave it the fitting name "Voodoo Mummy Cat."

The curious find quickly sparked fascination online and the Reddit thread was filled with theories and enthusiasm. Some suspected that the "mummy cat" was an abstract work of art and felt inspired to create something similar.

Others, on the other hand, believed in the spiritual power of the object. "The little thing protects you, it absorbs all bad feelings," commented one. Another was certain that it was a spirit doll. According to the user, it brings security and healing, but can also transmit curses.

Before the theories could boil over any further, the sister spoke up online and commented that she had owned the doll for more than a year and had never felt any negative energy from it.

So whatever is behind it, a handmade ghost doll or a strange work of art - it is definitely a mysterious find that is now being offered on eBay for around 100 euros.
