Love begets loneliness and loneliness begets hate in Green Hedgehog's origin tale of
the doll...

This is a story of a doll, a doll brought to life by a spell.  It all started with a boy, a
special boy with the power to bring nonliving objects to life. Whenever the boy was
lonely, he would chant a spell and bring one of his toys to life.  His family died in a car
accident.  He learned the spell from his Grandmother, who taught him it so he wouldn't
be lonely. After that she took care of the boy, not knowing what danger she put us all
in.

One day the boy found a doll. Real creepy looking to, small with orange fur, two tails,
and a string coming out of its head, with a small red gem at the end. After examining it,
he chanted the spell, and brought the doll to life. He named it "Tails". He loved that
doll, took it everywhere he went. Then came one day, when the boy went outside to
play with Tails, it went into the street, and got ran over by a car.

The boy found the doll, somehow still alive with its stuffing all over the road.  He
brought Tails to his Grandmother, who then stitched the doll back together. There was
one problem though; the boy hated how the doll looked and didn't want to play with it
anymore. Like every toy/dolls destiny, Tails was thrown out with the rest of the
garbage.

Tails was just a doll.  It didn't have a heart, nor could it feel emotions like anger,
sadness, or hate.

He began to realize that he was nothing more than a mere shell.  He wanted revenge
on the people who shunned him because of his looks. Tails found a knife and went
back to the boys house.  The boy found the doll and ran to his Grandmother. He told
her the story, and they both ran into a bathroom and locked it. The Grandma was
about tell the boy how to change a toy back to normal when suddenly.......

WHAM! the door swung open and the doll stabbed the grandmother in the back and
she fell to the floor.

Tails said,
"You have abandoned me and threw me out like I was some piece of
garbage! I AM MORE THAN A MERE DOLL NOW!"

After that, Tails killed the boy. When the police came - their neighbor apparently
called the cops when she heard the screams for help - all they found was the boy and
the grandmother on the floor, dead. The boy had a familiar knife in his hand. Tails
took the name "Tails Doll" and is now walking the Earth killing and taking souls from
any poor, unsuspecting, human being it can find.


"A MESSAGE FROM THE TAILS DOLL AND HIS FOLLOWERS"

Consider the following:

We have been betrayed by our loved ones and given up on our lives.  We all are
nothing more than mere shells walking the Earth, killing and stealing souls from
people who don't deserve them. Are we really considered evil?  If we can't have
happiness, or souls, why should anyone else?
____________________________________________________________________
There have been many origin stories of the doll, but only Hejjihoggu Doll claims to be
an eye-witness in this fantastic tale...

I must make this quick. If the Tails Doll were to find me still alive…

Well, you know.

I will relate to you as briefly as possible an informative account of beginnings,
betrayal, and darkness. Yes, it all began millennia ago. My recollection has become
somewhat hazy. A thousand years of existence really is hard on the mind, is it not?
However, there are some moments in time of such significance that I can recall them
with crystalline clarity. These memories I often times long to forget, but they have
been hewn into my very soul…

I am the Hejjihoggu Doll, one of the many animal spirit dolls created at the beginning
of time. Indeed, I am not the only one of my kind. Nor am I the only Hejjihoggu doll.
There are many other species of dolls as well. Ekiduna, Usagi, Koumori, Neko,
Kurokodairu, Hachi, Kamereon, Taka, Tsubame, Arubatorosu, Rakun…

Kitsune…

I was the leader of the dolls, blessed with the power of unfathomable speed. Leader
though I was, we had an even more respected and powerful entity, somewhat of a king
to us. He was tall and sinuous, with flowing limbs. Literally. His name was Chaos, a
translucent and insubstantial phantom comprised primarily of a liquidly substance
known as water. His only solid features were his brain and his eyes, glowing green
orbs that were filled to the brim with spirit. Chaos was a benign ruler and was always
fair to all of us. Although he had a personal servant, an Ekiduna, he didn't play
favorites.

Unfortunately for us, the humans did. For the most part, they judged us by our
appearance, which is why, when it came to humans, Kitsune was the most adored. He
had the appearance of a fox, but with two tails, a feature the humans found
endearing. Of course, he thoroughly enjoyed the attention. However, he was not
satisfied. He needed more than simple popularity. He was pampered by the humans.
They fetched him meals, showered him with gifts, and provided his every whim. But it
was still not enough.

He needed something more than fame and objects. He needed something that even
money couldn't buy. He craved power. This is what drove him to do what he did. He
was my best friend at the time, and I knew that he was not capable of doing anything
illegitimate. But the humans' love changed him. It spoiled him.

In the dark of the night, Kitsune made his way into Chaos's dwelling. He approached
Chaos, who was apparently deep in meditation. Kitsune unrolled the scroll he carried,
given to him by a foolish old man as a gift. It contained an incantation for soul
absorption, which he obviously planned to use on Chaos himself. Then, suddenly, one
of Chaos's eyes opened. He saw Kitsune with the scroll and sighed, smiling sadly.

"I knew this day would come." He stated solemnly.

"Your time is up, you dusty old relic. It is time for a new ruler to step forward." Came
the reply.

"I know what is about to happen," Chaos said. "I am resigned to my fate… But first-"

Chaos extended his arm, sending a watery fist rocketing directly into Kitsune's face.
Kitsune laid there for a moment, stunned, before recovering to his feet. He got into a
defensive stance, apparently anticipating another attack, but when none came, he
unrolled the scroll once more and recited the spell. It was a simple spell. Short.
However, it was exceedingly odd, consisting of only one word; one that was completely
foreign to his native language…
"Shlumpy."

Instantly, the light of intelligence in Chaos's eyes was gone, replaced by a dark void.
Of course, this change was externally imperceptible. It could not be seen, only felt. I
and all of the dolls felt it. We felt the sustaining power drain from Chaos and we knew
immediately that something was wrong. Being the fastest, I immediately rushed to our
ruler's quarters to be faced with the sight of my best friend standing triumphantly over
a slumped Chaos.

Though I had tried to enter quietly so as not to alert any potential offenders, Kitsune
turned to me. His eyes, which had once been brimming with life, were now frigid
soulless vacuums.

"Ah… my dear friend…" He mumbled through rough breaths. "Won't you come play
with me? I am oh so lonely…"

Kitsune leapt at me with astounding speed, newly formed fangs bared menacingly. But
I was faster. I darted to the left, avoiding the strike before grabbing Kitsune by the
arms and pinned him against the far wall. I then bore into his abdomen with my knee,
driving the breath out of him, but he merely smiled and shrugged, sending me flying
across the room into a solid stone pillar. I sat dazed as Kitsune approached me.

"That… was not nice." He said with mock indignation. He stood over me, continuing to
deride me. For some reason, I could not move. I could not get up. I could not fight
back.

I was helpless.

Then I heard it. A horrible noise that should never have been muttered.

"Shlu-" I was at the time unaware of what the phrase did, but somehow, I knew that it
wouldn't be good. I waited for the end. For the darkness.

But it didn't come. The immobilization had apparently worn off because I could move
again. I glanced up. Kitsune was no longer standing over me. No, he was at the back
of the room, lying on the ground. Standing near him was another, bright red figure. It
was Ekiduna. He had saved me. Unfortunately, due to the lack of a naming system
back then, I cannot distinguish him from any of the other Ekidunas. And thus, I cannot
repay him the debt that is my life, or even acknowledge him for his deed. The only
thing that I remember about this one in particular is that he was the guardian of the
shrine of the Master Emerald.

The next thing we knew, Kitsune was up again. He dashed toward Chaos, lifted his
limp body and flew off to a destination unknown. We gave chase. Ekiduna quickly fell
behind, and even I had trouble keeping up, but I was just fast enough to see Kitsune's
destination. It was the shrine of the Master Emerald, left unguarded. I watched in
horror as Kitsune hovered above the Emerald, knowing there was nothing I could do.
Kitsune then dropped Chaos's wilted body, which passed into the Master Emerald.
Laughing in triumph, Kitsune flew back toward me, obviously with the intentions of
finishing me off. Then, something surprising happened. He fell. He just… fell. His body
went limp and he plummeted to the ground, all signs of life gone. But I knew he wasn't
dead.

Unfortunately.

Millennia had passed since then, and I was beginning to relax. Kitsune had not yet
resurfaced and I was just starting to hope that he might never do so. You see, shortly
after the incident, we dolls went into hiding. Without the protection of Chaos, we were
very, very vulnerable. From then on, the only mark of our existence was our legend,
tales passed down from generation to generation. Somehow, these tales survived
from the time of our going underground all the way into the twentieth century.

Then… something happened. By this time, technology had advanced far beyond what
it was in our time. Things called "comic books" had been invented and someone got
the idea to use the legends of the dolls as a basis for a comic series. The main
character was a blue hedgehog named Sonic, much resembling me. At first I
panicked. What would happen if we were discovered? Would we be welcomed back?
Destroyed? After a moment of alarm, I calmly told myself that I was simply being
paranoid. The humans would simply take this as fantasy.

Then… I saw it. Sonic… he had a partner named Tails. He much resembled Kitsune,
but what consequences could this possibly have? It didn't really matter. None of the
other characters resembled any of the dolls I knew in any way. I thought it must have
been mere coincidence… but it was not.

Even when a TV show came out, there were still no characters I recognized to be dolls
at one point other than Sonic and Tails…

And Knuckles. His appearance was comparable to that of Ekiduna. The same one who
had saved me from Kitsune so long ago. Now it was apparent. Someone was getting
ideas for some stupid television show from what was still remembered about me and
my kind. I was infuriated, but little did I know that worse was to come.

You see, even though the humans had known about the dolls, we made it a priority to
keep the existence of Chaos strictly secret. Then, the Sonic video game series came
out, beginning with Sonic the Hedgehog. Hedgehog… Was it just me, or did that word
sound vaguely like Hejjihoggu? In any case, this worried me little. I mean, they'd
already made a comic and a television show about this Sonic, so the release of the
video game was not so surprising. The release of Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which
included Tails, did little to unnerve me as well. Then came the one fateful day… the
release of Sonic R for the Genesis, featuring an all new character… the Tails Doll…

Its resemblance to Kitsune was striking. The image completely captured his features,
from the lifeless wavering way he moved to his black, phantasmal eyes. Something
was wrong. Perhaps it was coincidence. At this point, I began to fear the return of
Kitsune, but things still seemed normal. Perhaps at this point, fate was just sending us
a warning…

Still, nothing of real significance happened until years later. The release of Sonic
Adventure and the debut of Chaos. In the game, he appeared exactly as our king did
and had the exact same name. The only problem was that he was featured as a
villain. Just the appearance of Chaos himself was enough to tell me that he had
somehow escaped. He had been known only by my people and so for the humans to
know about him, they would have had to seen him. But to think that he was evil… That
was enough to give me a glimpse of hell.

However, nothing happened. Not yet. It wasn't until six years later that Kitsune
returned. He was hungry, he had a taste for souls, and his memory had been wiped
clean of his past. However, one word had been branded into his mind.

Shlumpy.

What had triggered his awakening, I am not sure, but I theorize that the release of
Chaos had something to do with it. Eventually, after a few days of feasting on the
souls of random people, he discovered the existence of Sonic R, courtesy of a
particularly young victim of his who had said that he looked like the Tails Doll. So he
assumed that name and that is who he is still today. He found that, for some reason,
the soul of this child had tasted particularly appetizing for some reason… He
supposed it must have had something to do with the game Sonic R, so he began
appearing only to people who played it. Eventually, he discovered that it was much
more efficient to recruit people to gather souls for him, so he began doing that as well.

Soon, he had enough souls to last him quite a while, so he came up with a little game.
He would appear only to people who met certain conditions on Sonic R, such as
reaching 100% or tagging Super Sonic with the Tails Doll. Eventually, people became
paranoid about playing Sonic R, which Kitsune found amusing. He continues to play
his little game even today. I must say that it doesn't seem like he has any real purpose
behind his actions other than sating his ravenous hunger, but you can never tell with
Kitsune. That's how it's always been.

I must go now. Heed my warning: the Tails Doll is more cunning than you can imagine.
There is no escape from him. Don't think you'll be safe just because you don't play
Sonic R. If you earn his attention, he'll find you…

Linkandkratosfreak returns with a chilling follow-up to her friend's damnation...

I'm here to give you an update on my friend's living hell... She has yet to get an email
address or meet the doll, but strange things still continue to occur. Shortly after I
submitted the first story about WerehogWatcher, she got a virus on her computer that
killed her parents' email... and they blamed it on YouTube!!  Honestly, why would
YouTube do that?? Well, I think that it was probably the doll warning her, but there's
no way to truly know. And now random things are showing images of the Talls Doll.  
Like, she keeps seeing the red light every night... well, almost always. Later, I put a
protective spell on her to keep the doll away... But I don't think it did much good...

Some time ago, she had a dream that felt pretty real... The phone rang in her dream
house, which mirrored her real house.  She picked up the phone and noticed the
caller I.D. said, "TAILS DOLL!!!" It also had a number, but she can't remember it.  She
pressed the talk button on the phone and heard a dark voice say,
"You're time is
running out..."

I also had a dream... More like a dream within a dream. It was just the doll floating
there, just staring blankly ahead. His eyes were blood red.

And now WerehogWatcher is going to do the worst possible thing ever... SUMMON
THE DOLL!! The one where you play the song in the bathroom backwards. And to
make things more interesting, I am going to help her -- and no I am not on crack. So
for now she is just enjoying her time, I hope she doesn't die. Oh, and we think our
friend Anna died. The doll might have gone after her. We can't get ahold of her or her
family... wait, I'm going to text her right now.

So while linkandkratosfreak is texting, I - WerehogWatcher - will talk.  Yeah, so my
idiot parents won't give me an e-mail account because they say I don't need one.  
Why'd I call my parents idiots?  Eh, I guess I call everyone idiots nowadays.  WHAT
THE HECK IS WRONG WITH ME??? Why did the Japanese create Sonic R? WHY????

That's all for now I guess, I will be sure to update unless I also die...

Ravior was saved by his faith, but do you have faith in his?

One day, while I was reading a few of the stories on this website just for a thrill, I
noticed something out of place... something... very, very odd...

Whenever I tried to exit off the Tails Doll story page... a tab would appear right next to
the Tails Doll story page tab. It was an ad for a download of Sonic R...

Strange... instead of getting freaked out about it, I just decided to exit off the page all
together. And guess what happened after that... nothing... the ad didn't come up.
Good.

So, I opened another page and listened to
Sakura, a song by the Japanese band,
NIRGIRLS. For some reason, when I started listening to it on Windows Media player,
the weird feeling went away. Did I forget to mention how uncomfortable I was feeling
after reading the stories? Maybe it was because the song had the phrase, "Amazing
grace, how sweet, the sound," in it? I don't know, but when the song ended... that
feeling came back and it was a very bad feeling.

Next, I listened to
Ready Steady Go, the second opening theme to "Full Metal
Alchemist." I'm not really an anime addict, although I do like it very much. This song
usually made me feel good whenever I felt uncomfortable... but this time... I felt exactly
the same... that weird feeling didn't go away... it actually... got worse.

I immediately realized that music that was in any way related to God made me feel
better. Anything Holy, really.

Since I'm not a fan of feeling like total crap, I tried to listen to as much holy music as I
possible could... and you know what? I felt great! The only times I would feel
uncomfortable was when the music ended and I had to find another song to listen to.
Those were the only periods I felt that bad feeling.

I finally was brave enough to get off the computer. I was going to bed and you bet
your life I brought my radio with me.

I put it to the "Klove" channel, a music station that only played Christian music. Ah, it
was going to be a nice night... or was it?!

Right in the middle of the night, the power went out. Oh... great... what a freaking
coincidence.

So yeah, you can already guess that feeling was flooding into my dreaming mind. I
started having terrible nightmares. Stuff about death and tortured people. They were
very gory. Oh my gosh, you wouldn't believe the horror. Simply terrible. I saw little kids
with their legs chopped off and everything. Hearts ripped out, rotting flesh,
decapitation, and uh.....men with their "you-know-whats" chopped off. (Thankfully, I
didn't see mine in any damage in those dreams.) It was the most horrible thing since
they canceled the OC.

Of course, I woke up after all of that. What really sucked about those dreams were
that I could remember them vividly, unlike any other dreams I've had in my life.

So now, I have terrible images in my head and I have that uncomfortable feeling. And
then... after a few hours of sitting on my bed feeling horrible... I saw him... I... saw...
him... in the darkness of my room... a very dark, lifeless plushy... cocking his head
while staring at me with his vacant eyes... floating there... doing nothing... at the
moment.

I thought to myself... this was the end. I was going to die... but, in spite of feeling like
that, I said a quick prayer... for this to all end so that I might live... and guess what
happened? The power came back on! My radio was playing that music again... that
little jerk covered his ears in pain... then... he vanished...

That happened almost four years ago... and I haven't seen that fox ever since...

Enigma's tale, like this story's author, comes to an abrupt end.

I saw a video about the Tails Doll curse on YouTube a few weeks back, so I decided to
search it on Google. That's how I found this site. I read the stories and really believed
it was all BS. Even so I decided to try out the curse to prove them all wrong.

I've had a Sonic R CD forever, but never beat it. I finally unlocked everyone and
tagged Super Sonic last with the Tails Doll. Nothing happened. I showed some
believer friends, put it on YouTube, and got a bit too cocky.

Then one day, HE showed up. I was playing as the Tails Doll, doing a plain old race
on Resort Island, wondering why "Sunshine" was his theme when Super Sonic came
out of nowhere and slammed me into the ring door. He stayed in place, blocking me. It
was almost like he WANTED me to lose. The robots were catching up, when I
sidestepped Sonic.

I rushed into the trees with Sonic hot on my trail. I knocked him into the loop-de-loop.
When he came out it was too late, I had won... but something was wrong. The Tails
Doll didn't do his normal little dance, he floated up towards me. The other characters
were looking at me...they seemed angry. Sonic was shaking his head and Robo was
waving his fist at me.

The Tails Doll went through the screen and hovered above my chair in my room. I ran
to the door which suddenly locked --
____________________________________________________________________
In this long tale, KDRSonic chronicles their recent experiences with the curse, hoping
that we may lean from their pain and torment...

First of all, I'll tell you who I am. I was a normal 16 year old enjoying their summer
break when I heard of the Tails Doll curse. The name I use everywhere online is
KRDsonic. I stumbled across the Tails Doll curse one day, and since I'm now a
member of the site that fights off Tails Doll, I figured I would submit my tale of
everything that has happened to me. I may not just be the normal 16 year old, like I
first thought.

I knew of the warnings. They happened every time I would try something Tails Doll
related, but I ignored them. "Tails Doll doesn't exist," I thought. I had read all of the
stories, so I knew Tails Doll always avoided Sonic, so I took that as "Tails Doll is weak
against Sonic." My birthday just happens to be 3 days after Sonic's, so I translated
that to mean "If Tails Doll did exist, then I'm safe anyways." I was only half right.

I had been going to several stores, looking for Sonic Gems Collection for the purpose
of playing Sonic R, but I couldn't find the game anywhere. Even stores that had the
case for it didn't have the game, and the people that worked at those stores were
even confused. I finally found a Gamestop that did have the game, but they didn't
have the case because the game was used. I bought it anyways and was glad to have
my hands on it. I checked the back for scratches and saw that it didn't have any major
ones on it, but it did have some odd sticky stuff on it.

As soon as I got home, I put the game in my Wii to play. I decided to try out Sonic The
Fighters first, so I could keep the excitement of having a new game, Sonic R. I started
playing, but when I got to the third person to fight, my Wii stopped reading the disc. I
figured that I would try Sonic R out to see if it would work, since the other game
messed up.

It turned out that Sonic R worked just fine, and I had a blast playing it. I played through
the game with Tails to get a feel for the game. Once I got used to the controls, I
decided to unlock everyone. After only 2 hours of playing the game, I had everyone
unlocked. After doing that, I had only one thing on my mind. "Tag Super Sonic with
Tails Doll on Resort Island." I set up my capture card to record and then did the tag
mode. I tagged Metal Knuckles, then Metal Sonic, then Egg Robo. All that was left was
Super Sonic. After about a minute he glitched and kept running into a wall, so I easily
tagged him.

Nothing happened. Feeling safe, I saved the game. Afterwards, I played the game
even more, and the next thing I knew, it was 9:00 PM.  I had started playing originally
at 2:00 PM! Tired, I then turned off the game.

Three days later, a branch from a tree fell and landed on our phone line, so there was
no phone or internet for a few days, but the power still worked. I figured I would call my
mom with my cell phone to tell her, since I'm the only one at home during the day
during summer, but my cell phone wouldn't work either for some reason. I had no way
to communicate with anyone. Because there was nothing to do, I played Sonic R. I
played the whole day and beat every level on hard mode with everyone I could. The
only two I couldn't with were Egg Robo and Tails Doll, so I did the few levels I couldn't
beat with them in Normal Mode. Even after having the game only 3 days, I was already
an expert at it. Before I say what happened next, I'll tell you this right now. When I
played through Resort Island with Eggman,
there was fog. That isn't a weather effect
programmed into the game. The next day, I saw fog when I went outside, so I told my
mom and she said she didn't see any out there, so I checked again and the fog was
gone.

Anyways, the night that I did every level, I also did tag mode with Tails Doll again... 3
times. First I did it on Radical City, which took 10 minutes, but Super Sonic ran
towards me and into me at the end for some reason. Next was Regal Ruins. This one
took 20 minutes, but Super Sonic finally slipped up. Then I did tag mode on Reactive
Factory and it took less than 5 minutes. Afterwards, I saved and turned off the game.

That night, there was a red light in my room. It startled me at first, but then I thought,
"If that's Tails Doll, and if he threatens me, then I'll join him and then I'll be ok." I stared
into the light and everything seemed to go from dark to darker, and eventually, pitch
black. I felt like I was about to loose all that was good inside me, and that I would from
then on become evil. This gave me doubt, and as soon as I felt that doubt, I saw a
flash of light in my room. It was only in an instant, but it hurt my eyes so much.
Afterwards, I noticed that the red light was still in my room, so I turned away from it and
went to sleep with my back towards the room. This was my way of saying, "I'll never
join you." The next night, the light came back, but I ignored it. The third night, I took
my digital camera with me and waited for the light to appear again. When it did, I set
my camera up to record.

The next morning, I put the SD card from my camera into my laptop to upload the
video of the red light, but when I looked at the video, it was pitch black. My attempt to
get the red light on camera failed. The light wasn't there the next night, nor the night
after that. It was only there in my room for those three nights.

By this time, I had already joined the Tails Doll Research Lab site, so I did a lot of
talking about Tails Doll for a while, and when I wasn't talking about him, I was playing
Sonic R. The game didn't work for a while, but after a few tries, I got it to work, though.
My game acted... strange though, and it still does. If I play a game other than Sonic R,
my Wii stops reading the disc between 10 and 30 minutes, but Sonic R always runs
fine on it. The sticky stuff has somehow spread to the edges of my Brawl disc, which is
strange because Sonic R on Gems Collection is a Gamecube disc, so it never touches
where the edges of my Brawl disc touches the Wii.

Sonic R itself has acted strange lately too. Whenever I play as Metal Sonic, The Tails
Doll does whatever he can to stop me from winning when I play on Radiant Emerald.
Tails Doll waits by the shortcut door and opens it for Super Sonic every time, so I can't
win. I've finally given up trying to win there with Metal Sonic. Tails Doll also acts
strange on the level Radical City. On that level, he tends to go through walls a lot.

Anyways, I was getting annoyed of not knowing if Tails Doll was real or not.  Things
keep happening to make me believe, then disbelieve, and back in a cycle. Because of
this, I decided to do every Tails Doll curse I could think of at the same time, so I did. I
waited until 11:00 PM, I turned off all of the lights, and then did tag mode with Tails
Doll on Resort Island while listening to "Can You Feel the Sunshine?", "Can You Feel
the Sunshine? ACID Mix" both forwards and backwards, and "Livin' in the City" both
forwards and backwards all at the same time while keeping a hand-drawn picture of
Tails Doll up on my laptop next to me. I tagged Egg Robo, then Metal Sonic, and then
Metal Knuckles with some difficulty because he teleported at one point. All I needed
left was Super Sonic. In my mind, I thought, "Why am I doing this? Nothing good will
come of it," but before I could change my mind and quit, I had already tagged him. I
saved the game and exited to the game selection menu, said a few things into the
camera, since I was recording, then looked back at the TV and saw that it was acting
fine, so I turned away again, but as soon as I did, the Wii showed a message saying
that it couldn't read the disc, so I quickly turned off the camera and Wii.

The red light was in my room again that night. From then on, the red light has been in
my room every night.

Three days later, I decided to try the song in the bathroom curse, and I figured I would
try a couple songs, just in case nothing happened. The first song I tried was "Live and
Learn" because that song hurts my chest whenever I listen to it. That song didn't do
anything, except for making my chest hurt, like normal, so next, I tried "Livin' in the
City" backwards, and that did nothing either. Next I tried "Can You Feel the Sunshine?
ACID Mix", and again, nothing happened. I felt like being silly afterwards, so I did the
curse again, but used Rick Roll instead. This was a mistake. After the song finished, I
left the bathroom and laughed and said, "Silly doll, you don't exist." Just then, the
cable box above my TV started acting strange, and then it turned off on its own. I was
the only one awake, so I was confused. I didn't want to take any risks, so I went to my
room and went straight to bed and tried to ignore the red light in my mirror. That night,
I had some really bad nightmares that I don't want to even talk about.

A few days later, while discussing the Tails Doll at Tails Doll Research Lab, I looked
over at the front room and saw a red light in the sun-shaped mirror we have at home. I
figured I would try taking a picture of it. I brought my laptop with me so I could listen to
the instrumental version of "His World", since that's one of the few Crush 40 songs
that doesn't hurt me. The closer I got to the light, the worse I felt, so I stopped about
15 feet away from the light and took a picture of it, with flash off. I was nervous, so my
hands were shaking. The picture came out a bit blurry because of that, but you can
still see the light in the picture. Anyways, I took my SD card out of my camera to put it
in my laptop to upload the picture, and my SD card was very hot for some reason. It
was so hot that it almost burned my hand. I ignored it anyways and uploaded the
picture to photobucket, and right after it finished uploading, my chest started to hurt
pretty badly, so I looked at my chest and saw that it was red. I tried to ignore it, though
it hurt so bad I almost cried. I tried to go to sleep, but my chest hurt so bad that I
couldn't, so I just laid down in bed awake the whole night.

The next day, I didn't feel any better. My chest stopped hurting, but my back started
hurting. I just tried to ignore it, but I couldn't. I didn't tell anyone about it though, and
sure enough, my back stopped hurting -- only to have my chest hurt again. I couldn't
sleep that night either due to the pain, and the fact that I was worried about one of my
friends, Savannah, who I hadn't heard from in a while. There was something else on
my mind too. A member on the Tails Doll Research Lab site, Chanterla, had decided
that it would be funny to impersonate Tails Doll. At the time, it seemed real though. He
said he would attack one of the member's friends if I didn't apologise for something I
did. I refused to and ignored that the person's friend might have been in danger, so
the impersonator said, "Because of your lack of compassion, I know that you are my
human form." Later on that night, I fount out that it was Chanterla due to "an accident"
I made.

That night, I had a dream that showed me exactly what Tails Doll was thinking about
the people who impersonated him, though I didn't make sense of the dream at the
time. It wasn't until morning that I realized what the dream meant: Chanterla was in
trouble. I wanted to warn him, but he hasn't been online since then. Oh wait, he's
online right now, it looks like I was right about the hurricane avoiding my home to hit
where he was.

Anyways, I have currently been working with the other members of Tails Doll Research
Lab to come up with theories to help fight off Tails Doll. Chanterla swears that he
didn't impersonate Tails Doll, but I'll never believe that, because if it was true that it
wasn't him and that it really was Tails Doll, then that would mean I really am the Tails
Doll's human form. That would also explain my original name, R. J. Davis, being so
close to the name T. J. Davis, who's initials are T. D. would have more meaning than
just a coincidence, and I don't want to believe that.

I also have been uncertain for a while about if I should help or fight against Tails Doll.
Luckily, I met Ray Prower online, and that alone is why I currently want to stop the
Tails Doll no matter what.

A few last things to note: the song "Live and Learn" apparently hurts most of us at
Tails Doll Research Lab. Quite a few of our names at Tails Doll Research Lab have
our names in the song "Livin in the City" when played in reversed. The most
noticeable one is mine, KRDsonic, where at the begining after it finishes saying "He's
listening", it said over and over "KRDsonic. KRDsonic. KRDsonic. KRDsonic." I haven't
had a moment without pain or illness since I took the picture of the red light. One of
my friends recently bought Sonic R and said he wants to try the curse this weekend.

I was never supposed to be born, the chances were less than 1 in 1000, and yet I was
still born.

My Wii has been messing up quite a bit lately, ever since that day I did every Tails Doll
curse at the same time. Multiple games of mine have been messing up, except for
Sonic R. In Sonic R though, Tails Doll has been taking major shortcuts by going
through walls. Also, one day I put in my Brawl disc in my Wii, and instead of it showing
the brawl menu, it showed the Sonic Gems Colleciton menu. Another thing: I've been
getting a longing to want to go home. This feeling has been frustrating me a lot,
because how can I go home when I'm already home? Is this truly my home?

Anyways, everything I have written (I say written because I hand-wrote all of this
before I typed it) is the truth and only the truth, with no exaggerations. My story, here,
took a week and a half to write, and I wrote this to share my information with you
readers. I'll tell you now though, joining the fight against Tails Doll puts the lives of you
and everyone you care about at risk, so if you join, keep that in mind, because I won't
stop my research to save you or your friends, I'll fight the Tails Doll til the end no
matter what. Even if I loose my soul while trying to fight Tails Doll, I'll never give up.

He’ll wait, and he’ll watch
And he’ll drive you insane…
You knew not the Curse
And Now your to blame…

For your own sake, flee now
Get out, buy some time…
He enjoys a good chase
But shortly you’d die…

He knows who you are
Where you are, who your with…
From safe, you are far
You’ll soon be a myth…

You don’t have much time
For this you have read…
So don’t even whine
You know soon you're dead…

He’s coming…he’s coming

Heaven’s not that far…

He’s ready to do it
Time to say good-bye…
Just one question to prove it…
Can you feel the sunshine?

Adam scribes his lengthy, but heart rending tale of the Tails Doll and one of his
games...

Listen friends, I write this as a warning to everyone out there. Don't befall the same
fate I did, avoid the horror of seeing all of your loved ones murdered as I have seen.
Let me start from the beginning.

My name is Adam, I'm 22 and used to live in a house with a few of my friends. We
were your average college kids, drinking, music, and of course, video games were the
highlight of our lives. I had become bored with todays video games, too much flash,
not enough game play and fun, so I pulled out my Game cube and started up Sonic
Mega Collection. I love the old Sonic games back when Sega had control of them.

I was at work one day, really bored since there was nothing left to do. I went on the
internet and was reading the gamefaqs forums on the old Sonic games. I came across
one post that interested me; "tails doll curse." I had never heard of such a thing and
quickly became obsessed with it, I spent the rest of that night reading everything I
could on the subject, people denying it, others saying it happened to them, I couldn't
get enough -- I had to try it for myself. So when I got off work the next day I went to
Gamexchange and got a Sega Saturn and a copy of Sonic R.

Once I got home I showed my roommates the new addition to our gaming system
collection, and they told me I wasted my money, but I was happy with it. Moments later
I was locked inside my room and setting up my new system. I started it up and put
Sonic R in.  I didn't notice at the time, but all of the lights in the house flickered when
the game started up. I was having a great time with the game, though it seemed like a
cheep Mario Kart knock off, but it was fun for the most part. I looked to my left soon
after and noticed that my cat hadn't taken his eyes off of the tv screen since I started
playing. "Kieran?" I said, but got no response. Reaching over to touch him he hissed
at me and ran off to the other side of my room, scratching at the door wanting to be let
out. After he ran off I returned to the game, a little freaked out but "come on" I
thought, "this cannot be real."

An hour or so after that I had beaten the game at 100%, I was excited over my
achievement and decided to tempt fate even more. I loaded up another game, only
this time, I was playing as the Tails Doll. The AI came in and selected Knuckles,
Eggman, and Super Sonic. I was excited, since I could try this curse thing in the first
race. It got going and I had tagged Knuckles and Eggman right off the bat, but
couldn't get Super Sonic for some reason. A few more minutes in and I finally caught
up to him, as soon as I touched him the power went out. "NO!" I screamed, I had got
that far only to lose it to my house's faulty wiring, I thought. Frustrated and angry, I
went to bed hoping the power would be on by morning.

I woke up the next morning and noticed my TV was on and my new Saturn was
running Sonic R, "Shit" I said, "I hope that wasn't running all night." I got up to turn it
off and noticed the screen -- the progress showed 100% on my completion, but for
some reason the Tails Doll was missing from the character selection screen. A little
freaked out about this, I turned off the Saturn and left for work. The day went pretty
normal, besides a few unlucky accidents that occurred, nothing out but of the
ordinary. As the week passed,  things only got worse from there. I got a flat tire on the
highway, I got locked out of my house, I got a ticket, and more. So I was in a really
crappy mood when I came home from work that following Friday.

I pulled into the driveway and noticed my roommates cars were here, but the door was
locked and all of the lights were out. "Someone probably came and took them
somewhere" I thought as I unlocked the door and went inside. The first thing I noticed
was the smell. I couldn't quite describe it, but it was horrible. I tried to turn on the
lights, but again, the power was out. In even more of a foul mood, I stumbled to my
bedroom only to notice that the TV was on in there. "WTF?" I said, as I got closer to
the TV. I noticed the witting on it.

Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll
Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll
Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll
Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll
Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll

Needless to say, I was freaking out. I unplugged the tv, but the image didn't go away,
the words soon turned to blood and actually came off the screen and started running
down onto the floor. I ran from my room as fast as I could, looking around for my
friends. I ran down the hall towards their bedrooms and as I got to Jacob's room, I
threw the door open and almost threw up at the sight. Jacob was in the corner of his
room in a pool of his own blood, white stuffing coming from his mouth, and the words

Tails Doll
written in blood on the walls above. Slamming the door closed, I rushed
towards Matt's room, bursting through the door and preparing myself for what I knew
to be his inevitable fate. It was the same as in Jacob's room, only the words written out
on his wall said
"He's Here." I then heard music playing over the intercom system in
our house.  I recognized the tune from the game.

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?
Reach out for the sunshine.
Forget about the rain.
Just think about the good times, and they will come back again

I turned around ready to flee, and there at the end of the hallway he stood there, his
black, dead eyes staring at me, the red gem atop his head glowing a deep, blood red.

I saw him and was paralyzed, he was staring straight into my very soul. He started
floating closer to me, I got a hold of myself and tried to escape. I ran over to Matt's
window and smashed it with a chair and then climbed through into the back yard. I
hopped the fence and ran as fast as I could to my parent's house a mile away, not
stopping for anything. I got there only to notice the door was wide open and the same
smell that was in my house was coming from inside. I was scared but I had to see if
they were alright.  I entered, only to find my family slaughtered in the same way that
my friends were. I fell to my knees in tears -- whatever fate the Tails Doll had for me I
was willing to accept, I couldn't take any more of this seeing my entire world collapsing
in on itself.  Then, there it was again -- that horribly cheerful music.

Can you feel the sunshine?
Does it brighten up your day?
Don't you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?
Reach out for the sunshine.
Forget about the rain.
Just think about the good times, and they will come back again

"Just kill me already," I told him, "I have nothing left anymore." He just floated there,
expressionless, emotionless, lifeless. He started coming closer, I knew what was
coming so I closed my eyes and waited for it.

I opened them moments later, only I wasn't at my parent's house covered in blood,
and the Tails Doll was nowhere to be seen. I was in a room with padded walls on all
sides and I was bound in a straight jacket. I found out later that the police had found
me passed out in my parent's house, covered in their blood, and grinning. They were
amazed, because up until this point I hadn't said a word to anyone.  No claim of
innocence.  No admission of guilt.  Nothing.  They said it was as if I had become a doll.

So here I am, writing this on the small amount of computer time I get here to warn you
that the Tails Doll curse is real. Please, don't be foolish and release him into this world
like I did.  Don't touch that cursed game.

I only pray that this reaches you in time.

Survivor
Inari no Yoko  gives us this enigmatic chronicle.  Perhaps the monster that
visited her had consumed the soul of someone she held dear?

One night, I was sitting alone in my darkened room, harmlessly watching videos on
Youtube,  while waiting for Sonic R to load on my crappy Saturn, when suddenly I
stumble across a video of something called a Tails Doll.

"Hmmm...What's this?" I clicked on the seemingly harmless link and saw a small,
demented looking plushie of Tails the Fox. "What the..." I looked at the description
and saw that he was an unlockable character in the very game I was playing. "Wow! I
want to get him! He's cute," I said to myself as I started to race on the final level. He
was in that very race. "Hmm...That can't be a coincidence..."

As I continued to race, I had passed everyone except that pesky Tails Doll. I got
frustrated and yelled every curse word conceived by man. Then, as I passed him and
crossed the finish line, I saw that I had beat the game with 100%.

"Cool. Let's see...Maybe I should get some friends over to play a tag match with me?
No that can wait till tomorrow." I said as I completed the game.

All of a sudden, the screen went black, and that damn Doll appeared on the screen.
Then it vanished, and the screen went back to normal.

"What the heck just happened?" I sat nervously in my chair, picking at my cuticles with
my nails. Then my iPod started playing "Can you feel the Sunshine" BACKWARDS.
I started to cry.

"What the Hell is going on!?" I jumped over to the light to turn it on, but it was too late.
HE came. As I saw the crimson light coming out from under my bed, I heard a shrill,
creepy voice talking to me,

"Can you feel the Sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"

I had a strange impulse to reply, yet the words would not form.

The tattered doll crept closer to me and I backed against the wall, staring into his
soulless black eyes. He pulled out a weapon of some sort, and held it against the
glowing, blood red gem that made the blade glisten a deep red. As I began to speak,
the gem turned from red, to light purple for a slight moment until turning blue. He
dropped the blade and turned away from me, looking up at the moonlight pouring in
from my open window, looked back at me with sorrowful eyes, and jumped out. I sat
against the wall, staring at the window for a few moments before finally looking back at
my Saturn.

"I'm never playing Sonic R again."

I raised the Tails Doll's weapon above my head, and stabbed the wires of my
unplugged Saturn, then smashed the machine apart.

This entry comes from KillerKitty, who's obsession will be her downfall...

Hey! Call me KillerKitty, and yes I have heard of the Tails Doll and so has my friend (I
will not mention her name.)

This site has said not to write about the Tails Doll or draw him, but me and my friend
do all that stuff.  I will do anything to summon him -- ANYTHING I TELL YOU!!  

I'm not sure if my friend will want to summon the Tails Doll.  I hope she does.  Just in
case, I will ask her.  I wondering what will happen to us if we summon him?  None of us
own Sonic R, so wish us good luck!

KillerKitty out.

Jared G. sends us this note.  He's been marked, and knows all too well...

Last Night, I had a weird and crazy dream about the Tails Doll.

I was sleeping and I woke up. I looked at my computer and the background showed a
pic of the Tails Doll and It said
"Right Before you Die, You See The Tails Doll!"   I
looked right at the end of my bed (I have a bunk bed) as saw the monster, hovering
there.  He was, like, 7 feet away from me. Him and I were locked in a dead stare. I
wanted to yell for my mom to run. I couldn't even get a gasp of air out. I tried blocking
out the Tails Doll form my mind and concentrated on talking, but I couldn't.

Then he started to come towards me, and then it ended.

It seemed so real though. I woke up from that dream and looked around my room. The
background on my computer was still the Sonic wallpaper I've always had, so I went
back to sleep. But he's back out to get me now, and I know I must fight no matter how
scared I am. Someone has to. I will try my best to succeed. I will keep you updated on
whether I fight him or not.

Or I'll Tell him to write to you and say he has defeated me.

Sadira the Fox recounts a disturbing encounter at her house.

I'm a kid that has specialized in the Tails Doll myth ever since I found interest in
puzzles. One day, I overheard my brother singing "Can You Feel The Sunshine?"
while looking in the mirror, brushing his teeth. I had no clue how he knew the song -- I
did, but we didn't own the game. And don't ask me how, but I thought I saw the Tails
Doll sitting right behind him in the mirror. I refused to believe it, and I was exhausted.
So I went back to bed.

Right before I fell asleep, I heard something whisper in my ear
"Can you feel the
sunshine? Does it lighten up your day?"
I opened my eyes and there was nothing, but
when I looked out my window there he was; the Tails doll was floating outside my
window with a knife. He did not attack me; instead, he attacked a cat, and I saw the
bloody murder. I whimpered and hid under my blankets. The Tails doll disappeared at
dawn.

I'm not saying that means the Tails Doll is good. I saw him kill that cat. I don't know why
he didn't attack me; I guess since I didn't summon him, nor did my brother or family, he
decided not to attack. But that still doesn't explain why he was in our house.

Gothic Snowman is beginning to have eerie encounters with the you know who....

About 3 days ago I was looking around on the Internet and found out about the “Tails
Doll curse”. When I looked a video explaining it, I thought it was totally fake. After
awhile I got curious and searched about the original kid who supposedly committed
suicide. I was stunned to see that it was real. After that, I went to walk my dog (my
brother and I were alone in the house) but I couldn’t find him, I looked everywhere
around my house but he had disappeared.

A couple of minutes later he showed up, his tail between his legs. Ignoring his fear, I
took him for a walk. When I got back I decided to make one of my two Tails Dolls into
the Tails doll from Sonic R. Whenever I put the doll down it would seem to look at me
or my brother. When I went to bed that night (with my dog sleeping at my feet) my dog
started staring at my doll. My dog then began barking at it. I grabbed my dog to make
him quiet, and then I heard footsteps near my room. My dog and I stared at my open
door, waiting for my brother to scare me, as he does from time to time.

He did not jump into my room with a mask on screaming; all he did was whisper
(hiding)
 “Can you feel the sunshine?” in a rough, scratchy voice.

After he said that, I ran out my door and looked down the hall to catch my brother, but
no one was there. I looked in his room and there he was, asleep. For the last two days
many other things have been happening. I have not unlocked tails doll in Sonic R, nor
anything related to ways to obtain the curse.

I didn’t believe in the curse, but now my mind is starting to change.

Do you remember the Sonic Land theme park?  BLiZAGGA sheds some light on why
you might not...

Beware the Tails Doll.  

If they had, then you'd be a Sonic Land right now.  And it'd be better than Disney
World, The Statue of Haichiko, and The Nintendo Center/Pokemon Land COMBINED.  
But anyway....

One day after the success of Sonic Adventure, somebody (
His name is protected by
the M.i.B.
) decided to ask SEGA if the would fund a "Sonic Land" amusement park.
SEGA decided to go ahead after about a week.  So it was built, with press penny
machines, rides and a merchandise shop. Friends and workers from SEGA were
invited to test it out. They got Sonic merch, but more notably, Tails Doll Plushies,
Press Penny Books, Shirts, and even a memory card thingy that let them play as Tails
Doll for Sonic Adventure.  

But then,
it happened...

Everyone started boarding rides, flocking to the Ferris Wheel, Roller Coaster, and the
Merry-Go-Round first.  Then disaster struck.  Everything flashed red, and Tails Dolls
appeared on the Ferris Wheel Carts.  They appeared in the Roller Coaster Cars. The
Assorted Sonic Characters that appeared as Horses for the Merry-Go-Round turned
into Tails Dolls...

The Ferris Wheel Ran Over the Merch shop, killing riders and shoppers as it did so.
The Merry-Go-Round Dolls Rammed into walls. The Roller Coaster was the worst. The
rideds played a game of bumper cars at 3000 mph! When it was all over, the Tails
Dolls opened up a portal to another dimension and dragged the souls of the dead in.

There was just one surviver. He told the president and then died of a heart attack the
next day. This story is kept hidden by the M.I.B., the only copy of this story (other than
this) is in Area 51.  

How do I know this?  Well, who said that they don't have computers in the place you
go to after dieing of a "heart attack?"
____________________________________________________________________
Have you met "Mr. Cheese"?  You'd better hope you don't...

I am a slave.

A slave to the ultimate evil known as the Tails Doll. But at the same time -- I am the
Tails Doll. I consume the souls of those who do the curse, and at the same time, I am
feeding their souls to my dark master.

You may ask, how did I end up with this fate? Well let me tell you...

A few years ago, I got Sonic Gems Collection for my Gamecube. I loved playing every
one of the games on that disc, from Sonic the Fighters to Sonic Drift, but out of all the
games in Sonic Gems, my favorite was Sonic R. I was in love with that cursed game,
just happily racing through the 5 courses collecting rings and Sonic tokens while
upbeat songs played in the background. As I played, I unlocked all the secret
characters one by one. I unlocked Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, Egg Robo, Super
Sonic, and yes, the Tails Doll.  I was so happy with myself after I beat the game 100%.
Nevertheless, I lost interest in Sonic Gems like I did with so many other games, and I
quit playing.

A few years later, I was screwing around on Google when I found Q&B.com. I looked at
most of the Tails Doll stories, and once I read them all, I had one thought: "This is total
BS!" So, I decided to get out my copy of Sonic Gems and prove the curse wrong. I
started to look through my pile of old Gamecube games until I found my copy of Sonic
Gems, opened it up, and shoved the disc into my Wii. I booted up Sonic R, and
selected tag 4 characters. Then I chose to play as the Tails Doll. I started to chase the
other 4 secret characters as "Living in the city" played in the background. First, I
caught Egg Robo, Metal Sonic, and then Metal Knuckles. As I chased Super Sonic, I
began to notice how hard Super Sonic was trying to avoid me. But soon, I caught up
to Super Sonic, and I tagged him. As soon as I touched him, the screen started to
mess up. The screen began to display random colors and graphics and the music
began to get distorted.

I was getting real creeped out. Just as I was about to turn off my Gamecube, the TV
started to play "Can you feel the sunshine" at full volume. Then the screen started to
come into focus. To my horror, the screen slowly began to fade in to show the Tails
Doll floating, holding a knife. I turned around to run but the evil doll was already
behind me. I screamed at it, “What do you want from me?” The demonic plush
responded,
"I wAnT wHaT I wAnT fRoM all oF mY VicTiMs: yOuR sOuL. nOw
pReParE to dIe morTaL!"
With that, he thrust his knife towards my chest.

But he stopped short. After a short pause, he spoke:
"oN sEcOnD tHoUgHt, I wIll
sPaRe yOu, bUt uNdEr oNe cOnDiTiOn. YoU mUsT dO mY bIdDiNg fOr aLL
eTeRnItY aS mY sLaVe. iF yOu rEfUsE, I wIll kIll yOu aNd dEvOuR yOuR sOuL. sO,
wHaT iS yOuR cHoIce mOrtAl?"
After a few seconds of thinking, I chose to be his
slave.
"gOoD. tHeN LeT mE mAkE sOmE... cHaNgEs tO yOuR bOdY." As he said
those words, his knife turned into a metal rod with a red gem attached to it. He
jammed it into my head, and strangely, the rod slid into place with no pain whatsoever.

Then, my body started to change.

My leg started to turn yellow and fuzzy. I touched it and I felt that my leg was no longer
flesh. It was plush. My other leg also had the same transformation. Then it spread to
my stomach. Yellow and fuzzy. My hands turned to white fuzzy spheres. Two plush
tails sprouted out of my backside, and I felt my pupils become large and black. I had
become a clone of the tails doll. Then I started to feel more powerful then I had ever
been. I felt faster, stronger... more evil.

Then I felt the urges.

I felt a urge to cause sadness and misery, a urge to kill, and most of all, an urge to
consume souls. The Tails Doll started to speak again:
"nOw tHaT yOu aRe mE, yOu
wIll nOt oNlY dO mY bIddInG, yOu wIll wAnT tO dO mY bIdDiNg. wHeN yOu cOnSuMe
a sOuL, yOu aRe fEeDiNg mY tHe sOul. wE bOtH bEnIfIt fRoM tHiS. sO wHaT aRe
yOu wAiTiNg fOr? gO SaTisFiY yOuR hUnGeR."
And so with those words, he
disappeared, and I teleported to the house of a 10 year old boy. I stabbed him to
death, and consumed his soul. It was so delectable. But I was still hungry. I consumed
more and more souls, and grew more and more powerful and hungry. So please, do
the curse, so I may consume your soul. Oh, and I have a question for you:

Can you feel the sunshine?
____________________________________________________________________
Lucinda has seen the future, and knows it's dark secret --
hate.

You thought you knew hate?

You thought hate was: "Oh! Cindy is dating Chad. I HATE her!" That's not hate. I'll tell
you hate. Hate is orange. Hate is red.  Hate is a mixture of fear and sorrow and anger.
Hate is life. Hate is death.

Hate is the Tails Doll.

Hate kills you on the inside. Hate rips you apart on the outside. Hate kills your peers.
Hate kills your loved ones.

I always feel hate, now.

Towards myself. Towards my fingers. Towards the boat I'm in whilst lost at sea.
Towards the Tails Doll. It killed my parents. It killed me.  It killed Lucinda. Me. That's
me. But now I'm hate - not Lucinda. Hate said I was the opposite of pure. Hate said I
will take his side, soon. Hate said it loved me and killed for me. Hate said I was hate.
Therefore, I said I was hate.

"Can you feel the sunshine?" Hate asked me.

"No, I can feel the hate."

It laughed. Hate laughed. The Tails Doll laughed. Hate can feel pain. I can feel pain.
But, hate cannot. I loved to sing. Hate loved to sing. Hate took away my voice. The
Tails Doll took away my voice. Hate showed me 2012. Hate showed suffering. Hate
showed blood. Hate showed me, laughing at suffering. Hate showed The Tails Doll, by
my side, slavering for me.

The Tails Doll showed me these things.  He knew I would survive the harsh ocean.
Hate knew this too. I didn't. I'm now on a small island. It has internet connection,
somehow. I saw it. I saw The Tails Doll. It lowered it's head and laughed.
"You win." It
said. There was no sun. No hate. Just blood. The sea was blood. The rain was blood. I
was bleeding. No, I wasn't. I couldn't bleed. I couldn't die. I asked him why, he said
"It's
what you've always wanted. Total control. Suffering. Hate. You can feel hate, hate has
made you immortal."
I smiled, and laughed a little. Thanks, I said. He got meat. I killed
meat. He trained me. I'm still being trained. He dictated me this email. And he left this
message to the Tails Doll Horror.

I'm training this girl. She hates you. You'll die soon unless she has a change of heart,
which she doesn't even have. Good luck. Can you feel the Sunshine? You can, unless
your Lucinda. Which I doubt you are. Good Luck mortals, and Pure Souls, I'm out for
you. And so is hate- Ermm, Lucinda.

This old school tale comes from "Crystal_Bearer" ...

I hail from the long dead Nintendo forums, under the name of "Crystal_Bearer." I have
a very good reason for that name; a story I will now tell.

It was actually on the forums when I first of the name Tails Doll, one I would come to
regard with a mixture of awe and fear. During that time, I still used the name
"Tasontsnagger", and my attempts to change it had failed. One day, I saw a topic
called "The Tails Doll." I was interested; Tails had long been my favorite Sonic
character. I clicked the link and my fate was bound that day. I read stories of the
curse; of the seal and of those who had met the doll...a long list of the cursed graced
the second post.

On the third was several links and in my haste I opened three, eager to learn more.
The screen froze and sound crackled from my speakers. I waved it off; it was an old
computer. Besides, I had only played Sonic R once and failed horribly, not unlocking a
single thing... yet the meager save file was on my computer. Perhaps that was the link,
that allowed the doll to bend the rules.

I IMed my friend and we had a long chat about the doll. She had come to the
conclusion, for her own reasons, she too was cursed...I wasn't sure myself until I was
alerted to a message in my email inbox. Oddly, the address line was blank, which
confused me. I scanned the email and found no viruses, so I opened it. Inside was a
single line

"Don't get too comfortable."

I copied the message to my friend, who said maybe the Tails Doll was watching me. I
glanced behind me instinctively, but seeing nothing, I resumed my research on the
subject, hoping to find a clue. It seemed as if Miyomoto had used crystals in the
Gamecube to make the copy of Sonic R stored in Sonic Gems totally safe. Unless you
tagged Super Sonic, a feat I could never pull off. I leaned back, smiling at my luck -- I
am terrible at racing games -- when a shadow darted across my vision... turning
around, I saw it.

Hovering about three, four feet off the ground. Staring at me. I can see it, vividly, even
now, the image seared into my soul. The Tails Doll had come to collect my soul. There
had to be a way...then I thought if the power of Super Sonic can free it, why can't my
hero, Tails, contain it?

At that thought, IT drew closer. With very little time, I jabbed the power button on my
Gamecube, pulling out the code to trigger Debug mode on the copy of Sonic 3 and
Knuckles that was included in Sonic Mega Collection. Selecting Tails Alone and
beginning a new game, I punched in the code. As I flipped through the power ups
looking for the "Hyper mode" box, I felt weary, as if my soul was being drawn out of
me. Just in time, I found the box, and jumped on it. The flash of light that triggered
Tails' transformation into Hyper Tails drew the cursed doll into the screen, as the ring
count began at 150 and counted down. I began to do battle with the pixelated version
of my foe. As the count hit 100, I felt weaker and weaker. Should Tails revert, I knew I
wouldn't have a second chance. The count hit 50 and my vision blurred. I could only
watch helplessly, calling out to Tails to save me, as I slid to the floor, too weak to
control him.

40, 30, 20...

Tails took a life of his own. Flickies darted around him, pecking at the cursed doll, who
seemed to have grown stronger. 15 rings left and Tails attacked, leaping into the air.
With a mere eight rings to my demise, the Tails Doll fell to the ground and slid out of
the TV. I stood, my strength returned to me, and picked it up, hurling it across the
room. It hit the floor and faded away.

Still, I felt it, somehow. I know it wasn't dead, merely waiting until I let my guard down. I
turned to the computer and logged into the forums to tell my amazing tale. I was met
with an unusual screen: "You're almost ready to post! Select a Screenname..."

But it had been selected. "Crystal_Bearer" filled the field. As I logged in with my new
name, I saw I had a message. Opening the Private Messenger, I saw it was from
"MilesPrower." Eager to read it, I saw it only contained two words: "Be careful." My
attempts to reply failed, no user existed by that name.

I added my new name to the list of the cursed. Now, the forums, as well as the list, is
long gone. But the Tails Doll isn't. On the darkest nights, I can hear faint music and
sometimes, I even see a glowing red light. Even though the orange, two tailed fox
protects me from his evil copy, it can't last forever. I must unravel the meaning behind
that name... what crystals must I find to free myself?

"Wolfking" dreams of the Tails Doll's ultimate wrath...

Hello. Online I go by many names. But you may refer to me as Wolfking. I too have a
story to tell about the dreaded doll. Well, more like three. But they could be possible
signs...

Let me start from the beginning. I used to own Sonic R for the computer many years
ago. But I could not unlock any characters, so I just raced around. However, I began
to have dreams and nightmares about the doll...

The first was a few nights ago. I dreamed I was working in the Museum of Natural
History (Yes, the one from the movie "Night at the Museum"). Anyway, the manager
was reluctant to hire me - being a fifteen year-old and all - but I begged him and he
eventually gave in. It was my first night on security and the new security guard what's-
his-name gave me a tour of the place. I was astonished to find that everything was
coming to life. Anyway, the guy said he needed to check up on a new artifact that was
recovered. I tagged along. We rounded a corner and went into a room. Well, he did. I
said I needed to get a drink from the water fountain so he let me go. I was only gone
for a few minutes and when I returned he was gone. I thought he must have headed
back to the main lobby after he checked on the artifact, so I went to the lobby to see.
A gruesome discovery was waiting for me. I entered the lobby and who should I see
but the Tails Doll hovering in the middle of the room, his back turned to me. He made
an awful sound as he sucked up the dinosaur's soul. I dropped my flashlight and he
turned to me. I caught a glimpse of those eyes... and then I snapped awake. I was
sweating from fear and I realized it was just a dream, so I went back to sleep...

The next night's dream I could not remember that well. All I remember is seeing a
glimpse of the doll, and that's it.

However, the dream I had last night was much more vivid... I woke up in a familiar
place, but I did not recognise it. I began to walk around. There was a yellow path, the
sun was shining brightly, and there was a cliff up ahead. I turned around and realized
where I was when I saw the ramp. I was at the Resort Island stage in Sonic R!

"You're a bit surprised, aren't you?" A voice called out from behind me.

I turned and saw the doll, hovering there, but I did not feel afraid. He just lowered to
the ground. "What do you want?" I asked curiously.

"To talk," the doll answered. "Come, take a walk and talk with me." It was the first time
that I heard the doll speak. Well, he couldn't speak because he had no mouth, but I
heard him. His voice was soft and gentle.

"Uh, okay..." I said as I walked up to him. "What do you want to talk about?"

We walked and talked for what seemed like ages.
"So, you've heard those stories
about me?"
the doll asked as we were walking onto the bridge that connected to the
small island.

"Yeah." I admitted, kind of embarrassed. The doll was so friendly and his voice and
eyes were gentle. It was hard to believe that any of those stories I read on your site
were true.

"Those people are horrible liars," he answered. "I really want to get back at them for
making up such lies about me."

I stopped in my tracks. "You want to get back at them?" I asked.

"Yes," the doll admitted as he stopped as well. "And I need your help."

"My... help?"
I asked, confused by what he was saying.

"Yes." He turned around and looked at me. "So, will you help me?"

The doll extended it's paw out, implying that I should shake it if I agreed. I was about to
shake it, but then I hesitated. "No thanks." I politely rejected as I withdrew my hand.

The doll seemed to snicker and the sky grew darker as he did.
"Heh, you're a lot
smarter than I thought,"
the doll said to me as he began to hover.

"What'ya mean?" I asked. I was beginning to grow fearful.

"I went through all this trouble and you still didn't join me." The doll said menacingly.
His soft voice was now growing harsh and his eyes more hollow and blank.
"I might as
well tell you, seeing how your soul will be mine."

I stepped back a bit, but I couldn't run. My legs were paralysed in fear. "All those
stories you've read are true. I am looking for the last pure soul. I have to say, I've
been studying you for a while now."

"W-What!?" I stammered.

"Yes, you might be the last pure soul I need. But something is odd. I cannot tell if your
soul is normal or if it is pure."

I just stood silently, as the sky grew black.

"Anyway, I might as well show you what I hope to achieve with the pure souls' power.
Seeing as I'm coming after you next,"
the doll said as he hovered higher.

A bright flash engulfed the Tails Doll, and he began to transform. The only way to
describe it would be like Metal Sonic in Sonic Heroes. The doll sprouted nine razor-
sharp tails. But not behind it, all over its body. The doll grew and its plush orange fur
turned blood red and seemed to bulge. The gem dangling from the antenna seemed
to turn a new shade of red. Indescribable was the light it emitted. The blank eyes
turned completely black and carved into his head. The doll continued to grow until it
towered over the area. I just stood in horror and disbelief.

"NoW dO yOu SeE mY tRuE pOwEr!!??" the doll yelled in a monstrous voice which
shook and echoed.

I just continued staring, unable to avert my gaze. The doll looked at me - no. It studied
me. He held up an open paw which was pure yellow and a dark energy seemed to
form within it. He readied it, taking aim, and just as he was about to pelt me with it, I
woke up.

It was too vivid to be just a dream. Far too vivid. I will try and hide from him, but I hope
he won't find me.

Beware of the doll... and don't feel the sunshine...

"Light Winged Angel" checks back in from the front lines...

Hi, it's me, Light Winged Angel. I just realized I had a new power... I can read the Tails
Doll and virtually anyone's mind at will. I realized this when the Tails Doll was speaking
to one of the others. I had heard him say in his mind that he wished to dispose of us
quickly. I was just about to say, "How mean," when I mysteriously came back to earth
and wondered if I could also teleport. But I'll try to see about that. I also realized how
so many mysterious deaths have occurred before I came back. I asked my best friend
and he said some boy had been killed with his video game on. I asked, "What game?
Did they mention it?" He replied, "Yeah. Sonic R or something." That's when I realized
that the Tails Doll left that morning.

Maybe he's not IN the game, but is actually controlling.........

Well, well, well, so you've escaped, have you? I'll teach you to disobey my orders. AS
FOR YOU, READERS, the time will come where you ALL will feel the sunshine! As for
this pure soul, he contains a teleporting power he has not yet realized and I want it.
He'll be coming back with me. Alas, Quacker Duk, your little "army" will do you no
good. Keep them if you must, but be warned.

Oh, and one more thing ... CaN yOu FeEl ThE sUnShInE?

Ember sends us another message from the brink of madness.  Is there hope for her
yet?

I, Ember, have been put in a seemingly endless room. It's hard not to scream. The
darkness here smothers my ability to create flames, and when I walk, I could walk for
hours (I check my laptop's time) and not touch a wall. Occasionally, I feel light, and I
feel like I could drift into the air and escape my worries. Other times I feel heavy as a
rock, and I struggle to move.

I feel no emotion.

I can't exactly feel pain.

I fell on my arm, I heard a crunch, but I felt nothing. Nothing at all. I yell out. Sometimes
I think I hear someone else, but I never hear it again. I wonder if it's my mind, if
someone is actually calling to me, or if I'm going insane.

I talk to myself.

I talk to a man I created in paint to keep myself company. I think I might be dead. That
or locked inside the Doll's non-existent soul. I scream a lot, and I hear something in
the distance. It unnerves me. I'm scared. If I'm not dead, I will be. I feel light again.
Disconnected...

...Oh look -- a light! It's bright. It's not red. I'm safe. It's white. Yellow. Is that someone
carrying a candle? I wonder who it is? I wonder if it's someone from your site? Do they
know me? I hope so. They might help me. Are they seeing the darkness I am? It's a
girl. She's tall.

"Hello!?" She calls. I stare. "...Hello!" I yell back.  She does have a candle. She's
looking my way now.  I hope I haven't made the wrong choice. Maybe someone will
inform you of what is going on, because I have to go. It looks like this girl has a laptop
too, so she might keep you informed.

'Till the next incident...Or death...Ember.

Linkandkratosfreak asks the question -- "Is my friend possessed?"

Hi my name is linkandkratosfreak, and I am here to tell you about my story. Well
actually it is about a friend of mine...Her name is WerehogWatcher, she is my best
friend. She knows a lot of things other people wouldn't even dream about...

She never owned Sonic R or Sonic Gems Collection and neither have I... But that
didn't stop
it from coming.  Shortly after she found out about this accursed doll on
youtube, strange things began to happen to her. Once she was feeding her bird and
she saw something outside.  It appeared to be some sort of a glowing red light that
levitated seemingly right outside of her yard. She quickly ran to get something and ran
back to the yard.  For some reason, it wasn't there anymore...

It happened again some days later, and this time it moved around, proving that this
was in fact, the Tails Doll! So, she ran to the phone to tell me about this demonized
doll that was haunting her.

Then one night -- several nights actually -- she had dreams of something chasing
her.  Then the last dream ended with those words,
" MAYBE YOU ARE ONE OF THE
PUREST SOULS..."
 She woke with a fright and saw it was only 4:09 A.M.

So tell me, is my friend cursed or something?  Is she one of the purest souls?  Or is
she a slave already and doesn't even realize it? I must know...

Troy is resigned to an eternal life of serving the Doll...

Hello, I'm Troy. A new slave to the satanic doll. It started when I actually wanted to try
the curse.

I had just unlocked Super Sonic, the Tails Doll, and the rest of the characters, when I
felt like doing the "Tag 4 characters" as Tails doll. I really never liked playing as the
Tails Doll so I was confused why I felt like it. Anyways, when I tagged Super Sonic all
the lights went out.

I realized the time was 6:66 PM. "I activated the curse," I sighed. "Come out, Tails Doll.
I know you are here." I heard screams and then I quickly ran to my parent's room and
saw that they were killed.

There he was.

"No way," I said. I heard him say something in my mind.
" Be my slave or else you will
end up like these two.
" "Well, I have no choice. so I'll join you," I said with my mind
filled with anger. The next thing I know I fainted.

Uh oh. I hear the Tails Doll coming! Cya.

Straight from Club Rouge comes ShadowedStranger95, with a cryptic call for help...

Hi, this is ShadowedStranger95. Some of you may know me in the Club Rouge
forums.  

This is my first time posting a story and I am very aware of 'him'. No, wait -- Let's call it
the "TD."

Instead of an ordinary tale about my encounters with the "TD," I am going to tell you
something very important.  I just got my own copy of Sonic R for the PC.  The only
problem is when the title comes up and it says "press the start button."

I have tried every button on my keyboard but the game won't start.

I know that I'm probably lucky that it won't start because of the curse, but you don't
understand... IT'S CRUCIAL THAT I PLAY THE GAME! I can't explain the reason to
anyone right now, but I'm serious! Could anyone who reads this PLEASE help me get
the game to work?

When it finally does I promise I'll tell you why I need it to.  But until then I have to lay
low.

Craig L. can no longer trust his own eyes...

Okay, so one day me and my friend were just playing some online games, when he
decided to come over. He had picked out the Sonic Super Collection or something like
that and we got hooked on the classic Sonic games. I thought if there was a better
racing game for Sonic than Sonic Drift.

Big Mistake!! To our misfortune, we had come across Sonic R. Fortunately, I had
heard the rumors of the Tails Doll, so I avoided getting 100% of the game done, or
using the Tails Doll, or even thinking of "Can You Feel the Sunshine." Then my idiotic
friend comes up with an idea. (He doesn't... I mean, didn't believe in the curse) He
suggested we go on YouTube, and at 12:00 midnight listen to "Can You Feel the
Sunshine" backwards while staring into the eyes of a Tails Doll picture.

We started the video. At first nothing went wrong. About halfway through the song
(about the second it turned midnight), we felt cold and surrounded by darkness. I
quickly turned away, but for my friend it was too late. I couldn't watch, but I heard only
screams and squelching noises, as if my friend had his soul cut out with a knife.
Before I could muster the strength to look, the darkness overcame me.

When I woke up from blacking out, I couldn't get the song, "Can You Feel the
Sunshine" out of my head. I assumed it was all just a dream and just went on with the
day. I also tried to call the same friend again to see if he could come over. When I did
call, his parents said "Don't you remember He died about 3 years ago?" I quickly
responded with "But, he was just here yesterday!" I hung up after that.

I asked my parents if they remembered him coming over. They said, "But you haven't
had any friends over in about a month." After hearing that, I was freaked out more
than ever, but I just assumed I was crazy and that I was just imagining things. So as
usual, I got on my computer and was about to play Sonic R. Once I booted up the
game, I felt the coldness -- the same coldness of that awful night. I heard the song.
That dreaded song! I saw the Tails Doll on my computer screen... for about a split
second though. I guess I'm lucky... but not that lucky because after seeing that, every
time I blink, I see that demon, that evil stuffed doll. The T**** D***  (please don't make
me write it again!) Now I sleep with a Sonic and Knuckles plushie in my room. But it still
doesn't take away the curse of the T**** D***!

Fred P. lost everything, but gained a power greater than despair -- hate...

I have faced him again. And this time, I got revenge! My second encounter with the
Tails Doll came out in my favour..

A week since my friend Robert died; I have lost my mum, brother, best friend, three
cousins, and my cat. I was and always will be devastated. One night, I was crying over
the loss of my brother, the last one to die. He was so precious to me and then that
bastard Tails Doll killed him. I hated him more and more. My hate was so great that I
drew pictures of me ripping the Tails Doll to pieces. Last night, I dreamed I was
hunting down the Tails Doll, bent on revenge. As I saw him, he looked at me and said,

“Weee meet agaaain.”

I was shocked. Normally, he would scream and beg for mercy from me, but not this
time. This time, he was bent on sucking my soul.

“Your tiiime has come, Freeed! If youuu dooo not reeesist, It wiiill be painless. But I
much rather tortuuure you fiiirst,”
he said. His tone was blissful. “No…” I whispered.

“What did you saaaay boy?” he asked.  “No,” I repeated louder. He snickered.  He
started to float towards me. I turned around and started to run..

I was now in a forest. Everywhere I turned, I saw the Tails Doll. Soon, he had me
cornered. I looked around for a way to escape, but he had me.

“No wheeeere to run and no wheeere to hide! I am in control of your dream and soon,
I will be in control of you!”
When he said that my dream was his. I stared at him, anger
filled my eyes. He did something I never though he would do; he flinched!

Then I started to sing, “Can you feel the Sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?” I
kept on singing. He growled at me and tried to jump at me, but before he could touch
me, I punched him. The Tails Doll flew through the air. When he landed he shouted at
me,
“How!? How could you stop MEEE!?”

“This is not your dream, but MY DREAM!” I shouted. There was power in my voice. It
blasted the Tails Doll again, and -- I don’t know for sure but -- I think he screamed!

When I woke up, I found these words engraved in my wall:
I will make you pay for the
humiliation you caused me. I will not strike you in your dreams. Instead, when you
have no powers in reality, I will kill you in an agonizing way! Be afraid and despair!

I am a fool to not be afraid, but I saw the Tails Doll as a being with emotions in him. I
looked at the words and then I said: “Yeah! Dream on coward!”

CreamWithGunz of the Sega Forum learned that even Shadow the Hedgehog can
light fools the way to dusty death ...

It was 9:30am. I was completing Shadow The Hedgehog Last Story for the 17th time.
But, at the end of the credits, something was wrong... instead of the Sega logo,
standing there in High Definition, was the Tails Doll.

I knew my friend had been playing Sonic R, but why was the Tails Doll after me?? I
heard a voice that seemed to come from all directions around me... in a dark and
metallic, yet somehow mildly comical voice, like that of an evil clown:
"SHLUMPYYYYY!!"

At once, I was hit on the back of the head with a heavy blunt object. I was immediately
sent into a coma. I could feel movements all around me, the wind howling and the
trickle of my own blood on the back of my neck. I felt heavy breathing behind me and
the faint sound of "Can You Feel The Sunshine?" being hummed out of tune in the
distance... I saw the Tails Doll once more, and by that time I knew my worst nightmares
had become true - my soul belonged to him...

No-one knows who I am now. I live a miserable existence as an invisible lost soul
roaming planet Earth... but that's not the important thing, the important thing is to
avoid this HAPPENING TO YOU!!

"Gavin 2000" finds out the second time that it's not a good idea to taunt the Tails
Doll...

I had just bought Sonic Gems Collection and thought, "Wow! Sonic R is here!" I'd
heard that this version of Sonic R was safe, so I decided to try it out. This time I
unlocked all characters in about 30 minutes. It was pretty easy.

I played as Tails Doll thinking it was safe. I tagged Super Sonic and then the game
mysteriously shut off. I turned it back on. Instead of the Gamecube logo coming up, it
was the Tails Doll sitting on a chair. Just staring.

And staring.

Then he slowly hovered off and came towards the screen. I was starting to hover also.
I hovered closer. And closer. Until the Tails Doll lunged out his hand and grabbed me
by my shirt collar. "Can You Feel The Sunshine ACID mix" started playing.

I was just about to start crying until it said,
"Scrumpchy" very softly. Then louder. Then
it seemed that it was yelling it over and over. The Tails Doll threw me down and
jumped on me. It then started ripping off my hand. I managed to get away, but it still
gave chase.

I ran around the corner and found some scissors. I cut the jewel off of its head and it
fell down lifeless. I now only have one hand. If you ever encounter the- Oh no...It's
under my chair...Help...me......................
"SCRUMPCHY"!

Starman1234 forwards us an email from beyond the veil...

Last night I received am E-mail from one of my friends who has gone missing for a
week... The E-mail said:
Starman1234! Its ME! I don't think that you will believe what I
have to say, but please believe me, you HAVE to!

Remember when I went missing? The Tails Doll got me! Yes! The same monster we
were LAUGHING at! Before I got taken, I thought of his question, "Can You Feel The
Sunshine?" and thought, "Why does everyone who claims to see him say they hear
the song Can You Feel the Sunshine?"

Then it hit me! I found this website that says that he is the abyss where life is
meaningless a.k.a he is darkness. So why does he play, "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" He is waving the one thing he fears in front of all of our frightened and
ignorant faces!

He fears the sunshine in our hearts!

WE CAN FIGHT HIM! That is why he steals our souls and kills us! HE KILLS ALL OF
THOSE WHERE THE SUNSHINE IS STRONGEST IN THEIR HEARTS!  Shortly after
figuring this out, he got me and is now tormenting me with the pain of my loved ones.
Please, forward this e-mail to others so they can stand a fighting chance against him!

I'm counting on you!

Caleb has had a series of troubling dreams that help prove -- there may be more than
one reaper in plush...

Ok, it was like any other day in Dayton, Ohio.   I was playing Sonic R and beat it.  But
then, I saw a red gem in the window.  That's all i could see.   

Not long after, I started to have nightmares about the Tails Doll.  It kept trying to tear
me apart. I tried not to look at him.  It spoke in a scream that made me freeze in fear.  I
tried fighting it.

No use.

Then the strangest thing happen to me.  I saw two red gems in my dreams.  One was
pure and the other evil.  I sometimes see the pure one dance around the evil one,
which keeps trying to kill me.

I do not know if I am safe.  Is there more than one Tails Doll?

ArceusDark sends us a short, but bitter-sweet letter...

Hello.

You're probably expecting a tale of dying Sonic Fan, aren't you? Ha! Well, that's not
what happened to me.

You see, I don't play ANY Sonic Games, so I just thought that these "Curse of Tails
Doll" stories were just phony baloney. I was so off the mark.

I was playing my Pokemon Pearl, then me and my friend started a Pokemon Battle
Revolution Wifi Battle. He sent his Pokemon out, but when I chose my Charizard, my
character said,
"I work for The Tails Doll," and the electricity went out.  Except for the
TV -- but you probably saw that coming. Then My Wii Turned off, and ever since, it
wont turn on.  I tried to shout, but the words would not come.   Me and my friend can't
speak anymore.  We are mute.

My Name is ArceusDark, and I don't play ANY video games now. Take my word, I'll
Probably be dead in 2 mayb...

Death runs in Megan's family.....

This is the story of my half-sister saving me, after a death she suffered long ago, and
how I nearly suffered the same fate.

Well, my half-sister -- who won’t be named -- died in 1997, and at the time, held the
record for the person to live longest with a form of cancer. I was born in 1995 and
from what I remember of her (I was so incredibly young to even remember anything at
all) she was a great person.  I have heard stories of how she always used to care for
me when she had the chance. We were always together. Until she, while crying, was
rushed to the hospital that horrifying and fateful night.

Still, from the time I was 6, up until when I was 10, I could always see her. She would
appear as a ghost, or in a dream, but I thought this was madness and ignored her,
and her words of warning. I told no one since they would have shouted at me -- or
worse.

The Tails Doll.  I heard about it on YouTube and I attempted to prove the curse
wrong.  I was mistaken.

I saw a red light in the mirror of my room and heard screaming and groaning as a
small figure headed to me. Then once more, my half-sister appeared to me. She
faced the doll. I went under my bed and pulled out my mobile, hopping to take some
pictures of a ghost and the Tails Doll!!! But when she turned to me, I saw her face,
and I saw the fear in her eyes looking back at me. I put my phone down instead and
pushed myself further back. As the doll headed towards me she started to shout at
him and he asked if she could feel the sunshine reaching his jewel towards her. She
smiled and said, “I’ve seen the sunshine, and how ungrateful people are about it when
they are alive is none of your concern.”

He twisted his head in a confusing way; his deep black eyes stared at her. But soon
enough, he gazed back towards me and when I looked into those portals of Hell, I was
petrified, froze still. He asked me if I could feel the Sunshine. With a strange urge to
talk, I replied to him.

I answered "no."

He began heading towards me once more I felt a shiver push down my spine.  As he
did, she grabbed him and pushed him to the floor so I could try to escape.  My half-
sister screamed at me to run as fast as I could, and head to our dad for protection.

I’m not sure what happened  in there after I left. I didn’t make it to our dad.  I stopped
outside of my bedroom door and fell to the ground in shock.  When I entered the room
again, there were blood stains over the entire carpet and even on my bed. There was
a knife on the floor, and an axe in the reflection of the mirror that was not there on my
side. When I looked in the mirror again, in place of my refection, my sister stood there
with blood on her hands. She smiled and said “He will not come to harm you again, but
I’m afraid he left before I could finish him. I am only a ghost and you are but a young
child and should not fight him at this moment in time, maybe when you’re older and
ready I will consider challenging him to a fight so we can stop him once and all…”

She vanished, and I found myself staring at my own reflection once more.  Only...

Around my neck was a familiar necklace.   It was the one that my sister was seen
wearing in every picture of her life since she got cancer.  Now, it was slightly different,
though.  It had a red ruby on the end of it, it looks similar to the one of the dolls head.
And that’s why I’ve locked it away somewhere secret until I can figure out what this all
means.  

Until then I’m stuck here.

Oh! She said something about pure souls? Does anyone know what that means?  It
must be linked to the Tails Doll...

In an odd break from tradition, we bring you this... story from "Inspector Todd"...

I'm Inspector Todd. Salutations all around. But I have a very queer tale to tell. I want it
to be told now, while I still live and breathe.

Recently, I was searching the Internet for news about my recent bust of a cult that
worships an entity they call Orihime, the Leek with a Thousand Spins. There were no
stories about it in any newspaper of record. Figures.

However, I came across the phrase, "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Tails Doll R'lyeh wgah'nagl
fhtagn." Puzzled by this phrase, I asked my partner, Inspector Inman, an expert in
dead languages, what it meant. He told me it means, "In his house at R'lyeh, dead
Tails Doll waits dreaming."

A few days later, while investigating a rumor that a new cult had surfaced, I came
across a book labeled, "The Newbcronomicon." I opened it... and immediately closed
it. What I saw were letters I couldn't understand. I gave the ancient tome to Inspector
Inman. I left to get groceries while he worked.

When I returned, Inspector Inman had gone stark raving mad, muttering that, "The
end of man is nigh."

The next day, after returning home from getting Inman institutionalized, I found a rune-
covered dagger embedded in my door and a scroll in my mail slot. When I tried to
remove the dagger, a burning sensation coursed through my being. The dagger
remains there to this day. When I unfurled the scroll, I saw that the seal was of a rune
resembling the letter R on it. Written on the scroll in plain, simple English, was,
"WE'RE WATCHING YOU."

According to the notes Inman took before he went insane, there are four gods, fated
to destroy the world. It turns out Orihime is just one of them. There's also...

Weegee, the Silent One,
Tails Doll, the Sleeping Toy,
Pedobear, the Lurker at the School.

Upon reading that there are four of them, I searched my book of obscure poetry for
"The Quartet for the Dusk of Man." I read the illustrations and saw the forms of a
malformed bear-like humanoid, a mouthless mustached man in overalls, a young girl
with a grotesquely large mouth holding a leek, and a stuffed fox with two tails and a
gem attached by a string to its head.

They matched the drawings of the gods in Inman's notes.

I now fear for the safety of not just myself, but for man as a whole.

"John Smith" brings us a tale about a demented doll and an even more demented man
...

I wander over to my friend Zetsu's house, hoping to play Super Smash Bros. Brawl.  
Little did I know everything is about to take a turn for the worse.  I knock on his door
and his little brother answers.  He lets me in and I head upstairs.  I stop at the doorway
as I see him playing Sonic R.

"What are you doing?!" I ask, trying to take the controller away from him.

"Dude, I need to prove if the rumors are true," he says stopping me.

"If it is, then you know what is going to happen?" I ask, regaining my composure.

"Of course.  And I'm going to prove that the doll is just a little pansy.  Besides, I'm
almost done with the game"

I watch him as he races through each stage and unlocks everything.  It is easy...way
too easy.  Just for the hell of it, he plays the "Can You Feel the Sunshine" song.

"Told you I could beat it," he says, crossing his arms.  Suddenly the room starts to
become dark.  The lights fade away and everything becomes silent. I start to wonder,
but I immediately realize the horror that is to come.  The song started playing again
and a red light begins to glow.

"You, who dare to call me weak, shall now learn the terror many men have faced.  You
shall know to fear of the Tails Doll!!"
the light says in anger.  The Tails Doll comes at
us in full anger and hate.  I expect the worse, but am face so much more.

Zetsu reaches up and grabs the Doll.  He smiles an evil grin and begins to crush the
neck of the Doll.  "You may have had the power before, but you've never faced
something like me, you stupid doll," he says and rips it in half.  Afterwards he rips it to
pieces.

"Dude, you did it!" I say in awe.  I pat him on the back, but he slowly turns to face me.  
His eyes are a blood reddish color, his teeth sharp fangs, and a red crystal forms
above his head.

"I now have his power.  The dark power of that Doll.  You shall be the first to feel my
new ability.  I hope you enjoyed your life,"
he says in a dark low voice.  He raises his
hand and I slowly see my stomach ripping apart.  My body falls to pieces and my soul
is sucked into his body.

And so the reign of a new evil was born that day...the evil of Zetsu and the end of man.

We start off this new volume of Tails Doll stories with the return of Dagdress4 ...

Hey. Dagdress4 again from volume 10, I think. I'm here to tell this true story further.
We moved about 4 months ago and I'm writing this the day before October 31st.
Last night, I came across the ever-cursed Tails Doll site while showing my friend who
lives with me some music. I read all the new stories before I went to bed. It was around
10 o'clock when I heard a noise from the kitchen, like that dreaded
Shlumpy sound!
My friend doesn't believe the Tails Doll -- it sounds like BS to her.

I ran to bed, but I felt watched all night and I kept waking up. Even worse, I saw a red
light on the wall next to me in the pitch dark.

I am writing this story while listening to "Can you Feel The Sunshine" and "Livin' In the
City" backwards. I feel cursed now before Halloween.

I don't want to feel the sunshine.
