In Indonesia, a 21-year old fisherman found a life-size doll while walking on the beach. The fisherman believed the doll was an angel who came down from heaven just after a recent solar eclipse.
The fisherman took the doll home and dressed it up in traditional Muslim garb complete with a hijab. He then presented the doll to his parents, telling them that it was an angel. The parents believed their son and began to care for the doll, dressing it up in different clothes each day.
Word began to spread around the village about the family’s “angel.” Soon rumor spread, grossly exaggerating the story of how the fisherman found the doll. In one version, the fisherman found the doll on the beach scared and weeping.
Soon local police went to the home to investigate and discovered that the “angel” was, in fact, a blow-up sex doll. Officers took the doll away to avoid any further confusion or controversy.

Angel sightings are very common around the world. Each year people post videos and pictures of angelic cloud formations and mysterious figures. Many religions and cultures describe angels as divine figures sent by God to protect humans.
In 2011, a Associated Press-GfK poll found that about 77 percent of respondents said they believe angels are real. The poll also showed that women were more likely to believe in angels than men, and those over 30 were more likely to believe than younger adults.
Interestingly enough, a previous Gallup poll that year found that 92 percent of the respondents said they believed in God, but in an AP-Ipsos poll in 2007 only 34 percent of those polled said they believed in ghosts or UFOs.
