Updated: Friday, July 25 2014, 10:10 AM CDT SAN CLEMENTE, Ca.-- Porcelain dolls are being left on doorsteps and outside of homes in San Clemente, California.

Some parents thought it was scary because the dolls resembled their daughters. "We're very unsettled and obviously taking this very seriously as it concerns our daughters and little girls," one woman said. She did not want to have her face shown.

She says when she saw the doll she thought it was a prank. But when she heard more neighbors also got one, she got concerned.

Police officials say as many as 10 dolls were left at different homes who have daughters around 10-years-old.

"It leaves an impression on your kid. Can you imagine your daughter getting that?! It would freak me out too," said Heidi Colburn.

"We're a little concerned. It's creepy!," said Debbie Call.

This mom says it's a good reminder for neighbors to watch over each other.

But police say the mystery has been solved. They say a well meaning woman who knows the families and attends church with them thought leaving the dolls would be a kind gesture of friendship. "Investigators have concluded that [the neighbor's] motivation was out of goodwill and that she intended it as a kind gesture," police said in a statement.

Police solve mystery of porcelain look-alikes left on porches

Families were concerned due to the close resemblance the dolls have with their 10-year-old daughters, KCAL reported. CBS Los Angeles

SAN CLEMENTE, Calif. -- Deputies investigating the appearance of 10 porcelain dolls placed on the front porches of several families in the Talega area found out Thursday evening that the gesture was meant to be nice, not creepy, CBS Los Angeles reported.

According to the Orange County Sheriff's Department, about eight families noticed the dolls over the past week and were concerned due to the close resemblance the dolls have with their 10-year-old daughters.

Officials initially were not sure if this is a prank or something more sinister, but they are addressing the underlying fear that there may be a motive against children in the area.

"People are saying the dolls slightly resemble their daughters, which is creepy," Lt. Jeff Hallock said. "There doesn't appear to be an obvious pattern to who has been targeted either."

Talega is a housing community in the east end of San Clemente, where parents report that some of the girls are connected through school or activities they participate in, authorities said.

KCAL9s Brittney Hopper picked up the story Thursday evening.

She spoke with a mother who received one of the dolls and said her daughter was upset over receiving one.

"We're very unsettled and obviously taking this very seriously as it concerns our daughters and little girls," said the mom who didn't want her face to appear on camera.

Mystery of "creepy" dolls left on California doorsteps solved

by Ryan McKee 2 hours ago

The beginning of this story is straight out of a well-made horror movie. One day, eight families in the same neighborhood of San Clemente, CA found porcelain dolls on their doorsteps. No notes or explanation accompanied them. Right away, thats fking creepy. Imagine opening your door on an average day and seeing the cold stare of an antique doll. But it gets even odder than that. The 11 dolls were all left for families who have a daughter around 10 years oldAND each doll resembled the girls they were left for! What? I know. Wes Craven is stealing this for his next movie as I write.

The families called the cops. Orange County Sheriff Department tweeted the story asking for leads. Everyones skin began crawling. Was it a horrible (kinda genius) prank? They hoped so, because the alternative waswell, I wont spoil the end of Wes Cravens next film.

Within five hours, sheriffs tweeted that the mystery had been solved. A little old lady had done it as a gesture of goodwill. She thought the girls would like the dolls as gifts and saw nothing weird about leaving them on their porches in the middle of the night (actually, I dont know if she did it in the middle of the night, but it makes the story better).

This story is a good reminder for young people to watch horror movies with your grandparents. That way theyll know when theyre doing something that might terrify the entire community. Its not their fault, they just come from a different era. A generation that thought this was a cute advertisement (warning, this video will give you nightmares):
