Can you imagine the presence of spirits in disguise with you, in the same place in which you live? Of course, it may be very imaginative from the point of view of some of us, but the truth is that spirits and ghosts can hide and live with you and even work with you, if they find a place or entity for themselves through which they can hide, and perhaps the dolls of the artist Jules Vernon, were spirits undercover. Jules Vernon is one of the most famous American artists, who specialized in the art of speaking from the belly, this field that gained wide spread, around the world, and Jules was one of the artists who worked in it. Jules Vernon Walter Lester, Pope Knifet, was born on April 2, 1867, in the East India Where his father was an officer in the English army and worked in that region, then Jules traveled when he was a young man, to study at Oxford University. Jules Vernon's job was to hold dolls, and talk through his stomach, so that the dolls seemed to be talking. each other, and also the smoothness with which Vernon moves from one character to another. Vernon's doll idea included characters close to him. The first doll represented a character, his brother George, who was suffering from a stutter, and his sister, Nettie, who was born with a cleft lip, and Sailor Joe, who was the main character among the dolls, and Said, who did not always talk but was content. Listening to the talk of those around him, or just laughing at the jokes, and three other characters, they represented Vernon's friends. Vernon was very proud of these dolls, and considered them the closest members of his family, and they are, as each doll carried a character close to him, and as we said that all the characters had a different voice, and the transition between them took place at a terrible speed, except for the silent doll that remained the same until the day December 25, 1920, when Vernon was suddenly blinded while on stage, without any introduction! Despite this, the characters continued talking, during the theatrical performance as if Vernon had the ability to see, the puppet talking through him! After this day, Vernon's wife began to help him reach the puppets. She tied a thread that Vernon would follow, to reach his seat on the stage, after she worked on coordinating the puppets as he used to, and he followed the string until he reached his place on the stage. And even though Vernon was blinded, each character retained their voice, despite his lack of knowledge of the arrangement of the characters next to him, and most strange and shocking here, is that the silent puppet the entire time began to speak! Immediately after Vernon went blind. Jules Vernon died on May 17, 1937, after he was hit by a speeding passing car, in San Francisco, California, at the age of seventy years, and to this time no one knows what the secret behind Vernon's blindness, and the relationship of that injury to the silent doll talk, and finally The dolls have been deposited in the Museum in Fort Mitchell, USA except for the seventh doll. Why? Because she disappeared and no one knows anything about her.
