The story was posted on Twitter by the woman's sister, who shared some images of the creepy decorative doll's face sticking out of the wall in her basement.

She wrote on the social media site: "My sister moved into a new house and found this in the wall of her basement."

The tweet went viral as it racked up half a million likes as users attempted to get their heads around the spooky sight.

One person replied: "Nah. It ain't her house no more. Move. Why didn't she check the basement before?! (sic)"

Another user took a light-hearted approach to the situation, writing: "OK, first of all, I understand that we're all going to go to the 'holy c*** that's creepy' place. I'm actually thinking that it was somebody with a sense of humor and it's funny. I would put a frame around it and keep it on the wall just like that.' (sic)"
