Ondine Swimming Dolls

 
 
What Is It?
 
These are French dolls from the mid/late 1800s that have a wind-up key on their stomachs.  When turned, the dolls moved their arms and legs, they were thought to have actually had the ability to swim.
 
What Happened?
 
Think about this for a moment...the horror of one of these twisted and creepy as heck things swimming at you...I'd run! 
 
Aftermath?
 
None that I know of, in fact these are probably creepier now to see because the age makes them more disturbing.
