It's a prank:

The mystery of the abandoned dolls found this weekend in Reiswig Regional Park has become less mysterious.

A female caller to Castanet says she held a garage sale and sold the dolls to a group of UBCO students last month.

The caller says the students told her they were planning on pranking one of their friends, and she believes the doll discovery is their way of getting a public reaction.

The dolls came into the caller’s possession from a neighbour who was part of the Red Hat Society.
