I agree it would be incredibly sad if the doll was a replacement for a lost child. There's a few explanations that preclude being judgemental that have been mentioned in here. That's why I didn't want to phrase my original post in a critical way.
I am curious if I was missing something that is mainstream, like the twitters or google, that would explain this.
If it was a Reborn doll, they are often used in that manner. Wiki link Even when they're not used as replacements, the "movement" is taken very seriously and collectors will treat the Reborn doll much the same as they would a real child.
I don't know if I could have witnessed that without staring like a weirdo.
There was a group of 8 of us that kind of stopped and stared. This led to other passers-by staring as well.
It was one of the oddest things I've ever seen.
Minnie - the doll looked even more life like than those in the video you posted. So life like that you had to be within a few feet of it to tell that it wasn't the real thing.

Taxidermy?
I am going to hell for that....

Some of them are incredibly well done. In the link and video, there's a quick blurb about one left in a car on a hot day, and it looked so real, that police broke into the car to rescue it, only to find out that it was one of the Reborn dolls.
I admit, I absolutely don't understand the whole Reborn craze and sometimes, it kind of disturbs me.
Yup. With our muslim mayor, female premier, and the pride flag flying at city hall. Slow clap, Turner.
Don't be daft. Those are are great things (other than our Premier) but it still doesn't change that we live in an uptight conservative city. Ride the Ctrain in the morning and try to have an open conversation. Dirty looks are shot for disturbing the peace. Pull the rods out of your asses Calgary.
You will have your answers when the doll crawls through your window at 3:20 AM tonight and does the reverse crab walk across your ceiling. You won't need to speak, it will use telepathy.
Thanks, now I am going to have nightmares tonight and it is all your fault.

Maybe you are new to town?
Or maybe no one wants to hear about your stupid night or what you have to do that day early in the morning.

Sounds like a "Reborn" doll. On a phone, can't link but if you google them you can see them.
This is the correct answer.
Creepy and sad all in one big horrifying package.

Yes everyone should be an extrovert at 7 AM, it's totally the city we live in.

I think people in Calgary seem that way to you because of your attitude... which you're proudly displaying online (read: you're a dick). I can't imagine what you're like in real life.

Thanks for outing yourself as one of "those" people.
You know who likes talking to people like you on a short train ride? This guy:
Go find that guy.
How you think not caring about talking to strangers in just a Calgary thing is beyond me, but hey, welcome to the city!
