On the internet, one can attempt to make whatever connection one dreams of. There are women seeking men, men seeking women, aromantics seeking aromantics, and so much more. I suppose there are probably not hermits seeking anything. But thanks to friend-of-the-site Daniel J., I now know that in Stoneham, Massachusetts, we recently had police seeking owner of creepy puppet. You can probably see why:
Thanks, I hate it.

It appears that this horror show is apparently a modified version of a massive “Bobby Strings” animatronic puppet.1 Not long after posting about this, police did indeed hear from the puppet’s previous owner, who had attempted to throw it out.
[The owner] speculated someone fished it out of the trash and left it on a neighbor’s lawn, possibly as a prank.
Sure, maybe. But more likely, the puppet fished itself out and is out for blood.
