Is there anything that causes you to experience the "uncanny valley"? If so, what is it, and to what do you attribute those feelings?

Here’s a brief description from wikipedia:

“The theory holds that when robots and other facsimiles of humans look and act almost like actual humans, it causes a response of revulsion among human observers.”

Uncanny Valley

I don’t have a problem with lifelike robots, zombies, etc. The one thing that really creeps me out, though, is reborn dolls.
