Man Walks Across NY With Mannequin Wife

Couple Becomes Internet Sensation

Ned Nefer and his wife Teagan can be seen plodding along the rural highways of upstate New York and are hard to miss.

Nefer's wife is a tall mannequin in a wheelchair.

Motorists driving by have been doing double takes as they pass the couple by. So many people have spotted the duo that they have become an Internet sensation. They have their own Facebook page and countless videos on YouTube. He's even been interviewed from the road by a pair of Iowa DJs.

Plenty of people laugh at the idea and dismiss Nefer as a crazy person, but those who have met him said he seems smart and realizes that his wife is not a living person.

He said, however, that she speaks to him on a daily basis.

"Yeah, I hear her very clear. We love each other. We're just out, just living out our lives," said Nefer.

Or that one movie called 'Mannequins' where the mannequins come to life after the store closes and actually lead complete lives until they are discovered by a human and one mannequin falls in love with the human.

It reminds me of Oskar Kokoschuska. He was one of the most famous artists. He was an Expressionist. He used to be very obsessed with Alma Mahler of the late famous composer, Gustav Mahler. Oskar painted her over and over again. Alma dumped him after she found out that she was pregnant and had an abortion. He still begged to see her, but she refused. He decided he made a doll like resemble Alma Mahler. He used to take the doll everywhere with him to cafe, and even opera. One day, he was so drunk, and broke the Alma Mahler doll's head with his bottle of wine. Apparently, it cured him.

Sure... she speaks to him on a daily basis.
But what we want is the dirt.
Does she speak to him on a nightly basis. ?????
