Searching for Agnes: Poughkeepsie shop owner looks for the special, creepy doll she accidentally sold

A Poughkeepsie Novelty Shop owner needs your help finding a special creepy doll that was accidentally sold. Ben Nandy visited the shop to learn more about the legend of Agnes and the quest to now find her. She was here since the beginning. Laura Bell, owner of Curio Cabinet of the Hudson Valley, is hoping someone sees this story and calls her with news about Agnes the doll. Since Bell opened the shop two years ago, Agnes had always been here by the register with her partner Stuart. She's like the Curio Cabinet mascot. She's got a mug only a shop owner could love. Someone else loved her enough to buy her for $65. It was my mistake, I didn't look closely, I didn't slow down. Bell tells me she was out prepping for the city's monthly festival downtown when her employee texted her a photo of Agnes that Bell thought was a different creepy doll. And I didn't see it head on and she asked for a price and I gave her a price because I was carrying a box of t-shirts for the first Friday event and didn't think about it twice until she was like I'm really gonna miss that mean mug and baby by the counter. I was like you sold Agnes? What? Bell started out selling crystals in parking lots outside concerts. She's expanded to sell preserved animal organs she got from local veterinarians, other creepy dolls she finds at estate sales, and local art. Our ham rat, so it's a muskrat doing hamlet and that's his own skull. Agnes though, Agnes is Agnes. Would you buy it back? Oh absolutely and we probably throw some other cool stuff at them just as a thank you for bringing her back and if you know if she's meant to be with someone else then she's meant to be with somebody else and like I said we'll get Stewart a new girlfriend he's just not ready yet.
