The Lifesized Dolls of New Hamburg

For all those living in the vicinity of the New Hamburg train station in New York, a strange spectacle piques the interest.

Two townhouses before the trains leading south into New York City lies a home whose guests are of an uncanny nature. This mystery involves a porch occupied by a changing number of life-size female dolls dressed in different trends from the twentieth century, whose number, position, and theme vary from day to day.

Neighbors don’t seem to know anything about the current owners of the house, which is one of six properties on the block known as the Main Street Historic District.

About

I design video games for a living, write fiction, political theory and poetry for personal amusement, and train regularly in Western European 16th century swordwork. On frequent occasion I have been known to hunt for and explore abandoned graveyards, train tunnels and other interesting places wherever I may find them, but there is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am preparing to set off a zombie apocalypse. Nothing that will stand up in court, at least. I use paranthesis with distressing frequency, have a deep passion for history, anthropology and sociological theory, and really, really, really hate mayonnaise. But I wash my hands after the writing. Promise.
