Aly is responsible for this brief, but chilling tale...
It all started when I was at the boardwalk with my friend. There is a local legend that if
you ride the roller coaster "Wipe Out" at night, you might see a small floating figure
bathed in orange light. If you do, it will haunt you FOREVER!!!! Well, I believed it was
the Tails Doll and I was one of those people who saw him.
I sat in the blue car -- supposedly the fastest. I saw a glowing red light. Then I saw a
figure of a small fox-like thing. It had to be the Tails Doll! After the ride was over I
asked my friend if she saw it. She thought I was crazy or something. But I swore I saw
him.
Three weeks later I was sitting at my desk and a note appeared. On it was, "Can you
feel the sunshine? Can you feel it?" It was signed, "The Tails Doll." The curse is
TRUE!!!!!!!!! Don't believe me? Well, you could be next....

Tragically, Lordlyhour has met his final hour, but not before sending us a possible
weakness of the Doll...
Hi all, this is Lordlyhour here, and I have some disturbing news to report. I only
recently discovered this site, and have been reading about the Tails Doll myth. Since
then I have suffered insomnia to the highest degree. Why, even during my brief
moments of sleep, I have retained some consciousness. Anyway, to lay my fears to
rest, I recently beat Sonic R with 100% on the Gems Collection and then proceeded to
try the tag 4 characters with Tails Doll to dispel the myth and give myself rest.
More fool, me.
The instant I beat it, the character select screen appeared, and lo and behold the
Tails Doll disappeared from "his" rightful place. Then the power went out and I soiled
myself after realizing that the curse was indeed true.
Then "he" appeared.
"He" spoke to me and said "Lordlyhour, I am disappointed with you for not trying this
earlier." I asked him why and he told me "you have gone without sleep for several days
and that damages the state of and, therefore, ruins the taste of your soul"
I (as so many others who have told their tales have also done) passed out,
or should I say I would have passed out if not for my insomnia which let me stay
semiconscious while the ordeal I witnessed played itself out.
"He" walked over to my body and touched it with his antennae and I felt a sliver of pain
pass through me he then got a knife out of the kitchen and set about carving
HIMSELF up which greatly confused me at the time.
Until it happened.
I felt an odd feeling and set about moving my head from its position slumped on my
shoulder to slumped onto my chest (which is no mean feat if you are only
semiconscious and have nearly no control of your muscles). When I managed this, I
was shocked to see that my stomach was made of some plush material which was
slowly encroaching over my real flesh from the point "his" vile jewel touched me. This
sight alone jerked me back to full consciousness. I snuck a glimpse at the Tails Doll
and saw that "he" was undergoing a similar transformation to mine except that while I
was transforming into "him", "he" was transforming into me and the wounds "he" had
inflicted on "himself" carried over to my body!
Luckily for me. "he" had his back turned to me so I grabbed a large book that was
close at hand (was it coincidence it was the bible?) and thumped "him" over the head
rendering "him" unconscious. This slowed, but did not stop, the transformation
considerably whereupon I started to write this to warn those who are dedicated to
stopping "him" NOT to fall unconscious. Take some sort of wake up drug or
something, because to absorb your soul, he must drain your body of energy by
transforming into your body so your soul will recognize the energies and not rebel. I
know this because the transformation has spread enough to let me see his memories.
Oh God, he has just woken up and the transformation is nearly complete all that’s left
is the antennae oh godohgodohgod im having trouble controlling him enough to type
oh god it complete and im not in my body im stuck in his mind ohgod please hel-
Heh, Heh ,Heh.
I have decided to post this for the mortal that wrote it because he amuses me -- trying
to escape the prison I have created in my mind for him, whilst he knows it is futile
trying to flee from the visions of the mortals whose souls I have taken that I constantly
bombard him with. I know the above post does hold a new weakness of mine not yet
mentioned BUT, this weakness will exist no longer once I have figured out how to take
the 7 purest souls for my own. I will have no weaknesses what-so-ever and then I can
eviscerate the human race from the Earth in one fell swoop.
Can you feel the sunshine?
You will soon...

Dim McGraw asks... Can You Defeat The Tails Doll?
I was walking my dog in the early morning and saw a box lying in the snow. I picked it
up and it was Sonic R. I knew about the Tails Doll. I had encountered it before. If it
weren't for my dog, I would be dead right now...
I started up my PC and played for a bit and unlocked Tails Doll. He came out of the
screen and injected me with a needle as another victim had described.... I was slowly
being turned into a Tails Doll. I was yelling for help when my good old dog came and
bit the Tails Doll. He distracted him long enough for my nephew to come and rip the
diamond off his head.
I got up and flipped off the Tails Doll. I grabbed my dad's pistol and fired... the bullet
pierced through the diamond. It turned into a human being.. it was my missing little
sister who was missing for years... I hugged her and we all had a nice meal of warm
soup... but he will return that's why we must prepare...

"Doth those that master the End die?" Our friend Kaz is learning the answer...
I am an old school Sonic fanatic. I love playing Sonic CD and Sonic R. I thought it was
a legend, but it was true. Here is my story...
Back about a year ago, I was playing Sonic R. I loved the characters like Tails Doll
and Metal Sonic. I usually played as Metal Sonic, but was feeling zesty and started
playing as Tails Doll. Something came over me and I felt the need to play a tag match
with the Tails Doll. I started zipping around the course, tagging everyone. Finally it
was me and Super Sonic. And, alas, I tagged him too.
I saw a light. It was a red light. And I heard a peculiar voice. "Doth those that master
the End die?"
I turned, but saw nothing. I wanted to talk to this character speaking through a doll.
"What is your name?" I asked. "I have no name. I have no beginning or end. I have no
soul," and with that I awoke in a circle of blood. Something was blocking the light
shining on me. It was a small body that resembled Tails.
"What do you want from me?!" I cried. "That which lies in the very essence of man.
Your soul. Your life. Your love."
"Why are you doing this?!" I shrieked
"I have no reason to be here. And yet you still persist on calling upon me." Soon after
that I fainted.
I woke up with a bright light on me. "Oh thank God he's awake!" I heard. "Why'd ya do
it, son?" a man dressed in white asked.
"Do what?"
"Why, try to... er, um... kill yourself."
I was utterly SHOCKED by this! "I didn't!" I yelled.
"But we found you in a circle made of your own blood, with a knife in you. Who else
could have done it?"
I've been attending therapy ever since. But I'm still convinced I didn't do it. I know what
I heard. And I know what I'll do. I would seek my revenge on the Tails Doll, but as he
has said, he "has no beginning or end" so I guess I'll have to steer clear of Sonic
games for a while.
I hope he doesn't come back to finish off my soul.

Ever notice that the Tails Doll's personality and diction changes from story to story?
Inferno blows the lid off this mystery at great personal cost to himself...
Hi, my name is… well, you can call me Inferno, but now my flame’s going out. I’m not
rich, and don’t have many systems, much less Sonic games. I love Sonic, he’s
awesome. I think Tails is just awesome too.
BUT NOT THE TAILS DOLL.
I’ve read probably all the stories, but I’ve got one that explains the unknown.
My parents were going out to dinner and left me and my little brother at my friend’s
house. My friend (let’s call him Chris) used to have a copy of Sonic R, 100% and
everything on his PC, but when I got there, no Sonic R.
“Where is it?” I asked. He didn’t answer. He didn’t say a word the whole night. But the
funny thing was, when I started to leave, I thought I saw a Tails Doll out of the corner
of my eye motion for him to come. I KNOW I was hallucinating there, but strangely,
Chris’ arm joint appeared to be connected by a fabric stitch. I immediately ran outside
to my parent’s car to leave.
It was midnight when I got home. When I walked inside my room, I saw something blue
and green swirling. “YoUr NeXt,” something screamed. I passed out.
The next day was Saturday, so I got up, ate breakfast, and watched a little TV. But
when I saw a Wii with a Sonic Gems Collection box beside it on the floor, I was in
shock. I didn’t even own a Wii! Taking advantage of my video game cravings, I turned
on the unexpected Wii, popped in Gems, and grabbed the Wiimote.
“Strange,” I said. ”Sonic R is the only game on this dang disc!” I was mad, but
something in my head told me to play R. I continued. “Huh? The Tails Doll is the only
playable character?” I knew all the stories about the curse, so I turned off the Wii.
The Wii didn’t shut down and the Tails Doll was selected. “Augh!” I yelled. It was the
Tails Doll Curse! “ThAt’S rIgHt.” A blue and green portal came out of the TV screen
and the Tails Doll came out! I screamed for my life! It grabbed my neck and held me
tight. “NoT sO fAsT,” it screamed. It took out something that looked like a dart and
pinned it in my arm. I yelled from the exhilarating pain and clutched my arm. It was
yellow.
Like Tails.
I ran from the TV, but the Tails Doll clung to me and said, “NoT sO fAsT. tHe
TrAnSfOrMaTiOn Is NoT cOmPlEtE.” I didn’t even want to know what that meant. I ran
for my life, but the room suddenly grew and the Tails Doll got bigger. I turned all yellow
and two things grew out of my rear. I didn’t want to believe it.
I became a Tails Doll.
He sent me through the portal. Once I went in, I saw the unthinkable. Millions of Tails
Dolls going into portals, more coming out. The Tails Doll that imprisoned me stuck the
red jewel on my head. “ThErE,” he said. ”NoW ThE TrAnSfOrMaTiOn Is pErMaNeNt
As LoNg As YoU WeAr ThIs JeWeL.” I tried to take it off, but it wouldn’t budge.
Another doll forced me into another portal. I came out in Chris’s house. He was
already a doll. He went in the portal and I got sucked in. Some Dolls assigned me to
kill some people. As soon as I got to a house, I started writing this. DON’T PLAY
SONIC R EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU OR YOU’LL KILL YOURSELF! Millions of people are
being turned into dolls daily! Why do people disappear? They were turned into dolls.
Why were the bodies never found? They became dolls!
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS FOR A HUMAN TO TAKE OFF THE JEWEL ON A DOLL’S
HEAD! PLEASE, I AM BEGGING YOU! STOP THIS CRISIS!!
Now, I’ve gotta go before the actual Tails Doll figures out I’m doing this. I’ll try to post
more before I get the urge to kill.

Kikari lost her friend and her eyesight...
I'm going to tell you how my chase started.
It was sunny, but too cold to go outside. So me and my friend Jace (the Tails Doll
might remember me / him now...) decided to play some games. We played until
sundown (it was kinda like a sleep over) and we started playing a board game. I rolled
a 666...
"The sign of the devil," Jace joked.
How wrong we were not to trust the signs. After finishing, Jace and I decided to play
Sonic R. I went outside for a bit for some fresh air. "A red moon..." I said looking up as
the earth passed between the sun and the moon. I watered the flowers in the small
patch I planted. (I'm a nature LOVER.) I went back inside and Jace wanted to play tag
as the Tails Doll in Sonic Gems.
Something held me back at that point. I had NO idea of the curse, but my mind kept
saying, "DON'T! DON'T!"
"I don't want to. If you wanna play tag though, be Super Sonic. I'll be Tails." I said. "But
I WANNA be The Tails Doll." At that moment, The room seemed quieter, darker...
more demonic. I ignored it and gave in. "Fine..." I muttered, picking up the Game Cube
controller. We played and I got tagged next to last. Super Sonic seemed to be going
faster than ever. "What's his problem?" I asked. "He don't wanna lose to me." Jace
laughed and turned a corner to make a short cut toward Super Sonic. After about 3
hours, he finally tagged him.
THAT is when the Tails Doll filled the screen. The power went out and "Can You Feel
The Sunshine" was playing on my STILL ON T.V. We took turns watching what
happened on the screen until the power came back on about 12 minutes later.
"What's going on...? I'm going to go look on the computer for the Tails Doll." I said.
That's when I found your site. I was so scared, my eyes hurt so bad, and I THOUGHT I
felt tears...Then I realized it was BLOOD... I lost all grip on reality and started throwing
things at the T.V, breaking it.
"THE HECK?!" Jace yelled at me. "Come see for yourself," I muttered with crimson
tears streaming down my cheeks. I led him toward the computer. His angry face
started turning into that of a scared child's. We both looked at each other and didn't
sleep a wink.
The next morning, I held my Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles plushie tight as I headed over
to the library. That day was normal, but I didn't get a phone call from Jace.
Next day I went over to his house and I THOUGHT I found him dead... It's confusing. I
saw his body, the writing on the wall which said "TAILSDOLL TAILSDOLL" over and
over until finally it ended in "Forever"...
Oh yeah. Jace's parents don't remember him. They say they never had a son. The
confusing thing? He's sitting next to me now, watching me write this... always watching.
He'll never leave me alone.

Dope Boy brings us a grave warning. The purest souls have nearly all been collected
-- but wait, how do these numbers add up? Perhaps that means some of the previous
souls have been reaped and reincarnated...
Hello, I would like to talk about the Tails Doll. It seems that this site is endangering
every one of its readers. You all probably know that by now, but I thought it would be a
good idea to notify everyone anyways. In the back of my mind, I adore the Tails Doll,
yet for some reason I fear him at the same time. You see, I find murder very
entertaining, however, I also find it bad. Therefore, I use fire to entertain my "lust" for
death. I do not know why I am sending this, but I would like to say one thing: this is my
story.
I was searching on Google for more info on the Tails Doll when I came across your
site. In 4 days, I had read every one of the stories and I finished today, October 10,
2008. At first, I rather liked his lust for death, but as I read more, I began to fear him
more. I will never show my fear, however, when he appears. I will not scream. I will not
show my fear. I will only try to defeat him. Yet, if he offers me a choice of death or
becoming his slave, I shall pick slave.
Wait a minute, what was that? OH SHIT, HE'S HERE, wish me luck.
Wait, he's not moving....
Ah, I see, the Tails Doll would like me to say something.
He says that he is coming for all of you. Few will be spared. He also says that I am a
purest soul for I entertain myself with fire. Ok, he is gone, he gave me some of his
powers and he will watch over me for awhile. I believe I will meet Celebaby very soon.
And as for the final pure soul, don't get caught, whatever you do. Dope Boy out.

Katsu Eclipse hopes to arm us with the greatest weapon of all...
Hello. I have many names. I am called Katsu, Eclipse, and even Katan but you, my
fellows in torment, may call me "friend."
I've been living in anonymity for many years, not actually knowing of this website. As of
most of you, I am quite a big fan of the Sonic series and only scoffed at the thought of
a curse. How wrong was I?
I guess I should start out by explaining my story like the rest of you, but I have an idea
-- Did you ever think that he might remember who you are by your stories? Tracking
you through the internet even if you are under a false name? He has the power; with
him, anything is possible. He might try to track me, too, but that is why I am not using
my own computer.
What I will explain is my email: the Feasting. It's not really that difficult to explain. The
feasting that the Tails Doll does to us is nothing more than what a succubus does to
its victims; to make himself stronger by adding legions of underlings to his army.
Pardon if I don't make that much sense, I've been reading on mythology and religion
to find out if there's any actual myth about him. Anything that might explain where he
came from. Any clue to how to destroy him. Anything... because knowledge is our
greatest weapon.
Please don't let the feasting continue. Don't feel the sunshine.

Chaosarrow gives us a disjointed story about his descent into madness. The Tails Doll
consumes souls, but he also wrecks minds...
Well, I first heard of the evil doll back sometime in March. I had been scanning videos
on YouTube for the last few hours. The usual boredom, though I was happy it was
spring break. Then I came across a video entitled “Curse of the Tails Doll.” I’d seen it
in the related videos list before. Hmmmm.
"Well, being as bored as I a,m it should be fun watching it!” I said to no one in
particular. These were the last partially sane words I would speak. I watched the video.
I spoke nothing for the next eleven minutes of my life. When the video ended, I was
twitching. I was scared; very, very scared. I stood up shakily and knocked over the
chair. My heart was pounding. My breathing was shallow. As soon as the twitching
stopped, I screamed -- it was more of a loud screech, though.
I sprinted out of my room in absolute fear to get something to protect myself. I ran into
the living room and climbed onto the couch. I jumped for one of the blades on display
mounted behind it. Instead of grabbing a battle weapon, I grabbed a small display
hook, making them all fall down. My mom wasn’t home and wouldn’t be for the next few
hours. I unsheathed the weapons for the first time in a century or more.
I dashed back to my room and dropped my two blades. There were three blue jays
dead on my floor! Inscribed on the wooden floor were the words CAN YOU FEEL THE
SUNSHINE. Another scream took the exit door from my mouth. I quickly dashed to the
kitchen to grab something to clean up the bloody jays. After cleaning up the spew of
blood and throwing the birds in the back yard, I returned to my computer. I read my e-
mails to see if the Tails Doll had tried to haunt me over the Internet.
I opened a search for “The Tails Doll” on YouTube hoping to find written and video
information. I found a few useful tips: if you do not fear him, no harm will come to you.
Worthless to me, though a very calm person may benefit from this tip. A Sonic or
Shadow plushy will neutralize him. Normal slashes from a blade won’t work, only
paralyze him. It said to look up "The Tails Doll” with Google, arm yourself with
information. I’d read the first two volumes when my mom came home.
She didn’t notice any of the damage I’d done to the house in her absence. I told her
about the Tails Doll. She laughed and said it was only a silly rumor. I looked at her
with an expression of pure evil and growled loudly. She became very scared and her
tone was very shrill when she yelled at me. When she went to her and my dad’s room,
she slammed the door. I happily walked back to my room only to find a glittering red
jewel placed on my computer desk. Well, for me, it was only a shiny, ruby-like gem.
For others, though, it’s the true meaning of evil. I thought that my mom had left me a
beautiful ruby.
(I wasn't thinking at the moment, due to my idiotic interest in anything that sparkles
and shines.)
I picked up the shining sparkly and tossed it to my pillow. I had a nasty feeling inside
of me, but I shrugged it off. It was only 7pm, so I decided to play SA2B; I picked the
level “White Jungle”. I dashed through the level in a little over three minutes and with a
total of 666 rings.
Wait.
There’s only four-hundred something rings in the level, oh crap. I looked outside. It
was dark and the moon was emitting a white-yellow glow. I heard a scream and then I
knew things had gone from bad to deadly. I ran up to where I had put the ruby and it
was gone... Shocked, I threw the pillows and plushes around on my bed. I still didn't
find it. I destroyed the entire room to find it, but it wasn't there... "Ugh... jewels don't
just vanish...." I decided to go to bed and give into the nightmare.

Clonan hand delivered this tale -- through the internet...
Hello, my name is Clonan.
I had a friend.
I don't anymore.
It was a Tuesday morning and my friend (let's call her A.B.) and I went to the game
store close to her apartment. She loved anything Sonic the Hedgehog related. She
even had a shrine to him in her apartment that included anything Sonic: plushies,
games, books, you name it. On that fateful Tuesday morning, we saw it: Sonic Gems
Collection. At the time, we were quite happy. What excited us so much was that we
couldn't get our hands on many of the consoles that the games were on (plus, the
arcade games were an added bonus.) We bought it and immediately ran to her
apartment and ran all the way up to the fourth floor. We went in and put the game in
the Gamecube and loaded it up. There were many games on there, but I barely
scrolled down when I saw it.
Sonic R.
I had heard the rumors about the Tails Doll and it scared me a little to know that if the
rumors were true, we had the means to summon the Tails Doll. My friend, A.B., was
ecstatic, though. One of the reasons she liked Sonic so much was the racing part of
the games. She too had heard the rumors, but the thought of a Sonic game that
completely focused on racing was too much for her to even think about him. I decided
to go ahead and play the game with her, even with my fears.
We played for two and a half hours and beat most of it. We unlocked the Tails Doll,
and weren't quite finished, but I was starving, since I didn't eat breakfast and it was
eleven o' clock. I decided to go get something to eat and asked A.B. if she wanted to
come. She told me that she couldn't eat now since she was so close to beating the
game.
It was the last time I saw her alive.
When I came back, I could still hear the TV but the lights were out and A.B. didn't say
"hi" (she said that even if she was about to die on a boss battle and almost was
finished with him.) I walked into the room and saw her just staring at the TV. When I
got closer, I saw that her face was white and her eyes were glazed over. I looked back
at the screen and realized that the Tails Doll was missing from the screen.
“…Can You Feel the Sunshine?…”
I heard a song over the menu music, but I couldn’t make it out so I turned up the TV
and listened closer.
“…Can you feel the sunshine…”
I felt the blood rush from my face as I heard the accursed song. I knew then that I had
to leave, without A.B. I ran to the door, but I was too late.
The Tails Doll materialized in front of the door.
“There’s nowhere to run, Clonan. You friend was doomed when you left and, now that
you’re here, you’re doomed as well! Mwahahaha!”
The Tails Doll started to move closer.
I was trapped, no where to run except within the confines of the apartment. So I ran. I
ran to the back of the apartment, trying to delay my death for as long as possible to
perhaps think of an idea to escape. I couldn’t think, though; not with the evil,
bloodthirsty Tails Doll after me.
The Tails Doll moved slowly closer and closer.
I ran behind A.B.’s Sonic shrine in an attempt to hide, although I knew quite well that it
was a futile effort. When the Tails Doll got close enough, I pelted him with everything I
could find on the shrine. Nothing worked until I threw A.B.’s prized Sonic plushie at him.
The Tails Doll froze, and dropped to the ground.
With the Tails Doll not chasing me anymore, I thought of an idea. If the Tails Doll could
materialize from a game, could it go into a computer? At the time, I was only thinking
about getting rid of it so it wouldn’t kill me and not about the havoc it could cause on
the internet. I picked up the Tails Doll and hurled him at A.B.’s computer.
He latched onto my arm.
I was pulled by the weight and strength of the Tails Doll and tumbled towards the
computer. I prepared for the worst as I hit the computer. Then I blacked out.
When I awoke, I was surprised to be alive. I studied my surroundings and realized that
I was on the desktop of A.B.’s computer. After awhile I got the hang of moving in the
computer and vowed to find and kill the Tails Doll.
I’ve been trapped in Cyberspace for nearly four years; all that time gathering strength
and knowledge for my eventual fight with the Tails Doll. That is how I stumbled across
your site. I will continue to update my progress in hunting the Tails Doll when I can.

Perhaps Fede has discovered an eerie link between the Tails Doll and the nightmares
of Olde England...
I intend to keep sending my story until it’s posted and people know the truth of my
horror. I’ll try and keep it short though.
My elvish name is Fede and that’s what you can call me. IT already knows me by that
name. I of course mean the demon we all know as the Tails Doll. My curse started a
year ago when I found your site and read the stories. That’s how it gets the ones that
never play Sonic R; by having them find out about the curse through other means. It’s
always been said that the Internet was the tool of the devil.
When I had first found out about this demon in orange plush that was somehow tied to
a video game, I told my best friend "Star" about it. She’s one of the few people other
than the Pope who would be able to battle a demon. She told me to stop reading the
stories, but I didn’t listen; I was already under the Tails Doll’s spell.
One day a few months after the curse began, my boyfriend offered to buy me a gift.
After a minute of consideration, I asked for a Tails plushie. It was only after I had said
it and after he went to buy it for me that I realized something. The desire to own a
Tails plushie came not from myself, but from somewhere OUTSIDE myself. As if
someone else wanted me to have a plush of Tails. And I had a sneaking suspicion as
to who that someone was.
Many times I caught myself wanting to listen to the songs “Can you feel the
Sunshine?” and “Living in the City” that I had downloaded. I fought the desire, finally
realizing that I was cursed. I even managed to stop reading the stories. My obsession
had stopped until the Tails plush came. It looked cute and innocent, even though one
eye was slightly higher than the other and crooked. That should have been a hint
right there that something was wrong with it, but I just thought it was the fault of
shipping. (My boyfriend had ordered it off E-bay.)
A few weeks passed uneventfully while the doll was with me. Then my mom and I went
to a video game store. And there it was; a used copy of Sonic Gems Collection. Used,
but it looked brand new. That should have been another hint that something wasn’t
right. The game was purchased and as soon as I got home, I started playing what else
but Sonic R.
The first character I unlocked after beating the game was Tails Doll. I played as him. I
didn’t unlock any more characters that night and when I went to bed IT appeared in a
dream. I was in a place that looked like Resort Island. I was holding a plush that
looked like the Tails Doll, or it might have ACTUALLY been the Tails Doll - I’m not sure
- and I was playing with it. The doll was innocent and almost cute. And I was happy in
the dream. I was holding the doll in my arms and looking into its eyes, when suddenly I
got a weird feeling. I woke up before anything could happen.
That dream should have been my last hint, yet once again I didn’t get it. Looking back
it’s all painfully obvious. Every night before I went to bed, I set up protective wards
about my room to prevent anything evil from directly entering.
It found a loop-hole. The plushie.
The Tails Doll made sure I’d get one so it could use it as a vessel to get past my
barriers. Then all it needed to do was make sure that I had the game. It seems I must
be one of the “pure souls” the demon is hunting for.
The day after my first dream with the Tails Doll in it, I set out to finish the game 100%.
I was having trouble finding all the tokens, so I went on the Internet to look up the
locations of where each token was in each area. During my research, I found the
release date of Sonic R when it originally came out back in the 90's. It was released
October, 31. Halloween. The day when spirits - both good and evil - are at their
strongest.
I started to get a little bit worried then, but I kept on playing anyway. Then I had only
one last character to unlock: Metal Knuckles. I just couldn't find the last token no
matter how hard I tried. So I got bored and decided to play Tag 4 characters. And of
course I played as the demon doll in Radical City.
All was fine at first. I had managed to tag everyone but Metal Sonic. He was never
where he was shown to be on the map. He was somehow faster than he should have
been. I even spotted him running OUTSIDE the area. He shouldn't have been able to
do that.
I figured it was a glitch and quit without finishing it. Nothing happened that night. The
next day I remembered that I had read in one of the stories that all glitches in Sonic R
revolve around the Tails Doll. I began to be afraid. That night I had another dream
with the Tails Doll in it. This time, though, it was a nightmare.
I dreamed I was in a creepy looking forest that was dying at sunset. I walked deep into
the forest trying to find the way out. I found a lake in the heart of the forest. The water
was very dark blue in colour. Suddenly the lake started to fill with blood as the sound
of anguished screams rang throughout the forest from every direction.
I turned to run and found myself back in my home. It was daytime and it was bright and
very sunny. Perhaps TOO sunny. The phone rang and I was afraid, though I didn't
know why. I went to grab the phone, but what I picked up was the Tails Doll. I tossed
the doll aside without thinking and got the phone. I checked the caller ID like I always
did, and it was an unfamiliar number and name. The name faded away and left behind
two words.
I can't remember what those words are though.
When I saw that name and number I became afraid again. I answered and my voice
shook as I spoke, "H-hello?" A creepy, demonic voice that I knew belonged to IT
answered. It answered in high olde English, "Dost thou remember when thou first
heard of the Tails Doll?" Then there was evil laughter and, though I'm no longer
certain, I think I heard music in the background.
I woke up in a cold sweat. I knew that I was in danger. The first thing that I did was
delete my save file of Sonic R. I then e-mailed Star about my nightmare.
I'll finish my story some other time. I need to go and reinforce the protective barriers
surrounding certain rooms in the house. Until next time. IF there is a next time.

Katlyn joined her friend Tekla as a servant of the doll. Here she imparts with us a little
slice of life with a side of evil...
Hello, I am Katlyn and I'm here to tell you that the potential he was talking about was
nothing, but more ways to benefit him and to harm others.
Now I can tell you one thing: my master is not one to be tampered with. I have gotten
him angry and - trust me - regretted it terribly. And yet other times, my master has
been kind, as kind as a soulless demon plush can be, and given me amazing things.
One of the more amazing things he has given me is an emerald. Not just any emerald,
a Chaos Emerald.
A white Chaos Emerald.
He also given me a room. A most glorious room, fit for royalty. A room of mirrors and
white marble columns with a four poster bed and a desk with a computer and books.
The ceiling is painted with exquisite detail. During the day the white emerald (which is
set in the middle of the ceiling and yet somehow still connected to me at the same
time) glows brilliantly like the sun. The paint is a brilliant sky blue with clouds all
around. Near the edges are cherubs playing instruments of days of old. Lyres, flutes
and harps are just a few that I can actually recognize. At night the glow of my emerald
softens to the glow of the full moon. The clouds move to the sides and the cherubs fall
asleep. The stars shine brightly; you can even see the different constellations such as
Capricorn and Pisces. It's amazing and it even changes according to the weather, for
this is what my emerald allows me to do: change. My shape, my size, and even
sometimes my abilities.
Tekla's room I cannot describe in such detail, for it takes after my master's quarters in
such that it is dark, depressing and I hate it. Though, I hate my master's room even
more, for the stench of rotting carcases is enough to make me puke.
I can tell you what I look like now, too. I am a purple mobian cat and I can change into
mobian doll-form at any moment. I have some of my master's powers in that form but
not as many as Tekla. (I hate her some times. She's all freakin black and she is
telekinetic and has an emerald. I swear, she's spoiled.) We are kinda like henchmen.
We do the deeds too big for the soul gatherers and too petty for Him.
But most of the time we're stuck wandering about the castle. I don't think Master has
complete faith in Tekla and me yet. I can't honestly say I blame him. You all know what
purest souls are like. We wish for freedom and what makes us so happy in the first
place. For some it's happiness, for others it's death, for Tekla it's intelligence, for me
it's... well... I don't know. He hasn't told me yet.
But I've heard him talk to some of the others... I don't think I'm like the other purest
souls. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know. But I do know that I can feel
the sunshine... And I wish the moon would come...

Josh brings us a story that has only just begun...
Hello, My name is Josh and the date is 9-21-08 and I just downloaded Sonic R off the
web yesterday. I was crazy about that game cause I am a Sonic fanatic. I was told
about the curse a long time ago so I wanted to test that. I just beat the game and
tagged SS. Now I am awaiting The Tails Doll's appearance. I hope to meet him.
Josh
P.S. May God be with you all...before he comes.
Second letter, dated 9-22-08
Hi, it's Josh again. Ever since I tagged Super Sonic, I've been having a feeling that
The Tails Doll is watching me. I do wish to meet him, but ever since I turned 10 (I'm 13
right now) I've felt that my soul is darker and more evil than anything in your stories. I
don't want to die, just meet him and talk.
Josh out
I hope he comes...
As of 10-08-2008, Josh has not written back. We hope he is safe -- or at least his soul
is...

SuperGamecube64 claims the Tails Doll is not dangerous if properly handled. I'd say
the bloody trail of bodies says otherwise...
I've been reading about this curse for quite a while now... I find the site very
interesting. Now, I've never owned a copy of Sonic R, or Gems Collection, although
Gems Collection is coming in the mail shortly. However, my friend owned Gems
Collection about a year ago and we played Sonic R quite a bit... I played as the Tails
Doll on occasion, totally unaware of this curse. Until recently, I've been unaffected.
My friend sent me a link to a YTMND image, featuring a bloody Tails Doll, in what
appears to be a weird cult church or something... and there was odd carnival-like
music playing in the background, that soon changes over to a heavy metal horror type
theme played to the same melody. I laughed till it hurt. I found it quite hilarious... but I
heard someone else laugh... and I only heard it in my mind...
"Think that's funny?" The voice echoed in my head. As I turned around, who else but
the Tails Doll floated behind me. I didn't know whether I should be scared or amazed. I
decided to take a risk... and greeted it with an open palm. Much to my surprise, he
shook my hand. Psychopath? Possibly, but I'm not one to judge. Evil? Maybe not....
I actually began to talk with him. About his reputation, and about the things he had
done... Eventually he said, "I like you... and I don't WANT to hurt you... but I wonder...
are you as strong as you are brave?"
He began floating slowly towards me. I found him to be an interesting fellow and I
wished no harm upon him either.... but... I collect blades of all sorts and the closest
thing in reach was my katana. It's only made of 440 stainless, so it isn't meant for
combat, but he's made of plush.... ya don't need carbon steel to fight a plush. As I
unsheathed it he chuckled a bit, almost in delight that I would fight back.
As he neared me, I spoke the words, "You're serious, huh? Heh, have it your way!" I
swung my sword horizontally, sent him into a wall and he collapsed to the floor. He
laughed manically as he floated up again.
"I see... normal methods aren't going to work. Unlike most others, you do not seem to
fear me..." he said coming at me swiftly. I'm an avid baseball fan so I readied the
sword as if it were a baseball bat, and it was a home run when he got in range... into
the same wall he went!
There was more to the match, but I feel I've dragged this tale on long enough. In the
end he muttered, "Impressive..." as slowly faded away laughing.
Tails Doll: If you can read this, drop by anytime. I'm always ready... for another match.
To all you readers: Don't fear the Tails Doll - he can smell fear. If you fear him, you will
most likely suffer a horrible fate, but if you do as I did, and simply accept his existence,
you may have quite the interesting encounter with him...
Until next time, SuperGamecube64, out...

Bloodra went searching for photographic evidence of the doll, but instead found a
nightmare...
People know me as Bloodra. Why? Because I always get hurt and I like the metallic
taste of blood. But now I must tell you how I almost got photographic evidence of the
Tails Doll.
I was always afraid of the Tails Doll and told myself it was just a made-up story for a
good scare. Or so I thought.
Three months ago, my boyfriend called me and told me he recently bought Sonic
Gems Collection. I told him not to play Sonic R and he asked me why. I told him about
the dreaded curse. I made a mistake by doing that. He is a go-getter and is stubborn
like Shadow the Hedgehog himself. He told me that the stories were a bunch of bull
and that once he unlocks Sonic R he will do the Tag battle using Tails Doll with Super
Sonic in it just to prove me wrong. I was about to beg him not to do it until the phone
died! I was terrified and waited a few seconds. The phone rang and I violently ripped
the phone from the receiver. All I heard was that horrid song: "Can you feel the
Sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
Suddenly I heard my boyfriend's laughter. He played a joke on me and teased me
about it. I faked a laugh, but I found nothing funny about it. He told me that if I
somehow had proof that the Doll existed, he wouldn't even touch Sonic Gems. I
agreed.
The past few days since then, I researched other ways in summoning the cursed
beast. I couldn't do the original summoning by playing Sonic R because I didn't own a
Saturn or Sonic Gems. I didn't want to do the bathroom summoning because I would
either go insane or faint because of the dark and suspense. So I did it my own way.
I went downstairs and got on my computer. I then went on YouTube to search for that
haunting song, "Can you fell the sunshine?" I had my iPod with me and set it on "Live
and Learn" in case I needed to repent the doll. I also stole my dad's digital camera so I
could capture proof of the demon. I turned all the lights off until the only light
remaining was the computer's. Quickly I clicked on the link to the video with "Can you
feel the sunshine?" on it. Since the page takes four seconds to load, I scurried behind
the red armchair near the wall. The song began and I turned the camera on and
waited.
Five minutes pass and still no sign of the Tails Doll. I put the video in a loop so the
song would play over and over again. I began to fall asleep until Tails Doll faded in
from nowhere. It looked at the computer and swayed back and forth as if the music
pleased it. I slowly raised the camera for the shot. I took three undeniable pictures of
the Tails Doll. I accidentally switch the setting on the camera and it made a do-Dee-
DO noise. The Tails Doll stopped swaying and then faded away. I nervously stood up
from behind the chair. I sensed evil and turned around.
Tails Doll!
For a moment everything went into slow motion. We were just staring at each other. I
looked into his pitch black glassy eyes. I looked at his red glowing gem of souls with a
wire connected to it. Finally I saw the butcher knife with blood stained from his last
victim's slaughter.
The slow motion ceased and the doll slowly floated toward me raising the knife over its
head. He talked to me in my mind. Telepathy maybe? He said, No one will know. No
one will EVER know! I reached my limit of sanity. I went crazy and threw the very
camera I used at him. He flinched, but he kept coming. I backed away and then
remembered my iPod. I smirked at Tails Doll and said in a mocking voice, "Only when
two rivals join together, will you be defeated." The doll froze and lowered his knife. He
asked, W-what did you just say? I turned my iPod on and screamed the lyrics at his
orange fluffy face, "Can you feel life, moving through your mind?~ oooo, looks like you
came back for moore!~ Yeeeah!~ Can you feel time, slipping down your spine?~
oooo, you try to try to ignoore!~ Yeaah!~"
Tails Doll cringed and twitched, Noooooooo! The Tails Doll faded away into thin air. I
kept mumbling the lyrics while turning the lights on even though he was gone. I rushed
to my camera to check for pictures. They were deleted! I never got to prove my
boyfriend that the Tails Doll exists, but I have seen him and if you don't show fear and
if you sing the song "Live and Learn" you are fine. Just to let you know, he never
unlocked Sonic R, and even if he does... I will be sure to stop him.

Barbara writes us once again, with an refreshing tale of the Tails Doll(s)...
Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted a Sonic Plushie. He would ask his
mother for it constantly, but every time she said no. Finally, the boy broke her and she
headed off to the mall to buy him the toy.
1st mistake.
The boy was anxiously awaiting his plushie. Then he heard a knock on the window. He
ignored it, thinking it was the old tree outside. He heard it more and more, growing
louder and louder.
*tap*
*Tap*
*TAP*
The boy finally went over to the window and opened the curtains.
2nd mistake.
He was frightened at who was at the window. It was the Tails Doll. But not the same
Tails Doll that we've all come to know and fear. This Tails Doll was tattered and had
bloodstains on it. Was it a rebel Tails Doll?
"They're coming! THEY'RE COMING!!" the doll screamed. The boy wanted to run
away but his pity for the doll compelled him to ask "W-w-what's wrong?"
3rd mistake.
"There are dolls! The Tails Dolls! They're coming for your soul! You have to protect
yourself! NOW!"
"How?!" The boy was desperate.
"Get in the closet! I'll drive them away. Don't come out until I say the coast is clear!"
Then, they heard a series of loud thuds.
*THUD*
*THUD*
*THUD*
"They're here! Get in now!" The boy rushed into the closet.
4th mistake.
As the boy was scared stiff in the closet, he heard the three dolls conversing. It
sounded like an otherworldly language. It continued for several minutes. Then he
heard silence.
"Open the door. It's safe," The doll said. The boy heard something in the doll's voice.
It wasn't the same voice he heard when he first heard the doll knocking on the window.
This voice was darker.
"OPEN THE DOOR NOW!"
The boy opened the door as fast as he could.
Last mistake.
His mother returned from the store with the plushie. She called out his name. No
answer. She called louder. Still no answer. She went up to his room to find that he
wasn't there. Then, she heard noises in his closet. She slowly walked over to the door.
She opened it and began screaming in sheer terror. The three tails dolls were
feasting on his entrails...
____________________________________________________________________
This is the fall of "Twilight"...
They call me Twilight. I am but a mere servant to the ultimate evil that is the Tails Doll.
Let me begin…
Last summer, my little cousin Edwin was sent to my house for a couple of months. I
was upset about it at first, because I didn’t like the idea of work and babysitting 24/7,
but eventually settled into it. I actually had a great time with him, because my brother
is never home. But, back on topic...
About a month into his trip, I was on Newgrounds looking at “Sonic Shorts collections”
1-3. They was some of the funniest shorts I’d ever seen, but I always saw one thing
that slightly disturbed me despite my childish laughter -- a doll resembling Tails. I
clicked, and watched, and shuddered…and I wanted more, so I looked it up. It was the
first time I had ever heard of the game "Sonic R." I loved it! I went on Youtube,
Google; everything I could to teach me more of the Tails Doll. I found this site, and
read the stories on here. I was scared, and actually giggled with a weird sensation
upon reading the tales of the evil creature. I believed the Curse, and sought to find a
Copy of Sonic R, with no luck.
Then on one fateful day, I stumbled across Sonic Gems collection for the Gamecube. I
quickly snatched it, and went home to play the cursed Sonic R. I was absolutely in love
with the game, quickly focusing on only one character -- the Tails Doll! All I did, the
time I played, was use him! I NEEDED TO PERFORM IT, AND NOTHING WOULD
STOP ME!!!
I beat the game 100%, And I proceeded in tag mode, easily pinning down robots with
the Tails Doll. None were left, except Super Sonic. He eluded me constantly and I
grew frustrated. Then I heard a voice in my head. It was harsh and sounded quite
demonic. It said, “Chase him…I will handle the rest…”. Confused, but determined, I
did. He ran into a wall, and got stuck. I was so happy! And I quickly ran and tried to tag
him. As I was about to get him, I felt my finger slip to the left, and missed him entirely.
Truth be told, I was scared.
The voice in my head repeated with “What are you doing?! Tag him NOW!” and
against my will, I did. NOTHING HAPPENED. I was so relieved.
Turning off my Gamecube, I slept in the dark, while my Brother slept at his friend's
house. At one point in the night, I opened my eyes and screamed, only to feel relieved
upon discovering my DVD Player on standby. I unplugged the thing.
Two event free months passed, and I never did the curse again. I noticed however,
that Tails had become my lifeline, using only him in every Sonic game I played
afterward, and downloading all the Sonic R songs for my MP3 player -- My favorite
being “Can you feel the Sunshine?”
A week ago, I was finally left all alone in my house, because my folks had gone out for
a birthday party, and I shut off all the lights. Suddenly, I felt that horrible chill crawl
down my back. I heard my favorite song, and ran to my room. I heard the door lock
itself and I tried to get out, to no effect. Then my TV turned on, and a Race from
Sonic R begain, with me as Super Sonic, with none other that the Tails Doll on Resort
Island. He looked over from in the TV and said: “Race me once more…if you win, I will
leave you to live your life…but if you lose……”
He grew silent, and I let my pride get the better of me. Plus, as Super Sonic, I could
completely own him. I said “Ok, let’s do this, you stupid toy!” I raced as fast as I could,
taking all the shortcuts! It was over in a matter of seconds.
I NEVER STOOD A CHANCE…HE DESTROYED ME.
He just appeared out of my TV, I couldn’t believe my eyes! HE WAS REAL!
“Overconfidence will now be your demise!” He yelled at me…
I put my hands up to protect myself, and I felt something sharp barely touch me…then
it stopped.
“…However, for Amusing me so, I will award you a consolation prize…a choice. Join
Me, Or Choke on your own blood!”
He took me to his lair…gave me everything I desired…power…HE GAVE ME
POWER!!! I’ve never felt this good!!! And all he asked of me in return…was to leave
copies of the cursed game in choice places…places, where anyone will find
them…and then, he will devour your soul slowly, maybe even torture you because he
loves fresh screams…and when he returns from his harvesting, he sits there, filling my
soul with malice and hatred! With pure evil, that comes from the demon doll himself!
He wants to destroy you all, and I GUARANTEE YOU…there will come a day when not
even your precious Sonic plushies will be able to save you, and you will feel the
sunshine too. It will brighten up your day, but brighten up my master‘s even
more…heh heh heh…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Here's a small submission from HyperJackie...
Dear readers,
The Tails Doll is a terrible thing. It's true! There are many ways to summon it or see it,
but MY tale is a strange one.
On Saturday, I went to look up the creepy doll of doom the Tails Doll, on the internet.
So then I went on youtube and humorously typed in Creepy Doll and I found a video
called "Sonic does the Creepy Doll'.
So I went on there and click on it -- but instead saw a flash of white light and the
power in the house went out. Could this be a warning from the Tails Doll to me? I hope
not.

ODog6227 thinks he's discovered a leak on our site. Who... or what could be tracking
our readers?
Well, this really bad. I now know what the purest souls are and "he" has got another.
I'm not sure who, but it had three tails instead, so me and my friend, "Pokeking386"
had already heard of the curse and we - like retards - decided to "investigate it." We
went on the Internet to find some sources leading to the curse's origin and came up
with nothing... until I got an e-mail from someone called the Survivor. At first I thought
it was a joke, until I got a second e-mail from Sega, saying that we should stop what
were doing. I sent a reply saying to stay out of my business and got a re-reply saying
I'll be sorry. This was recent, so I'm still looking to help the survivors stay alive so I
might be next. In that case, my name is "Odog6227." I live in California. So far, that is
all I can tell you. I started recently and have just now realized something........ I believe
there is a spy on this site!!!!!!!
Please, help me find the point of origin!
Odog6227@AOL. c o m.
P. S. I use my screen name to "help" protect "myself." I'm not telling my real name so I
can stay safe. It's so my friend can stay safe. He didn't believe it, he's not really caring
about it anymore. I hope he still has that Sonic doll. DON'T POST YOUR REAL NAME
ON THIS SITE, IT WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE LONGER.
Thank you......

Jared sends us a tale which ends with a very important moral...
Ok. One day my friend Tails (That's what I call him and he calls me Sonic) and I were
cleaning out his closet when he found his old Sonic R game he thought he had lost.
So after we cleaned up we played it for the rest of the week since it was summer
vacation. At the end of the week we got 100% and I downloaded and kept singing
"Can You Feel the Sunshine" cause it was really catchy. I went back to his house so
we could play it again and have fun.
We had the most fun-filled day ever. Then his parents let us and our other friend Zach
spend the night even though they had to leave the house to check on Tail's deathly ill
grandfather. I think the Tails Doll possessed them to do that, idk.
We were happy as we drank Gatorade, Redbull, and ate pizza all night long. We
started playing Sonic R and I played as Tails Doll. About 30-40 minutes later we heard
some strange noises coming from the bathroom. We are goofballs so we got our
lightsabers and went to check it out. Tails went in first and ran out with a blood-chilling
scream. I was like, "What is it, you wuss?" He pointed. Zach and I looked into the
bathroom and with an evil smile the Tails Doll emerged, saying, "DIE...DIE...DIE."
I got the crap scared out of me cause I heard rumors of Tails Doll and never believed
it until then. I hit it with my saber, closed the door, and ran along with my friend behind
me for my iPod docking station in the garage. I turned on Sonic Heroes and said to my
friends, "Come on, guys, let's beat this doll cause we're Sonic Heroes!!!" We were
like, "Yeah!!!"
He came at us and said, "Pathetic mortals. You think you can defeat me?" I said, "Yes
we can!!!" He went for me first and I grabbed his tails and slammed him into the
ground. Then he threw me into my parents' old TV in the garage. I was bleeding, but
didn't feel a thing cause of the adrenaline. He slammed my friend Tails into the floor
and Zach punched him (he's a big guy) and knocked him outside of the garage.
I got outside and kicked it into the air. It said, "You may have weakened me, but I'll be
back when I am done haunting others."
I'm still scared to this day. So don't summon it; it's stupid. Just stick to sports and
friends. Burn all of your Sonic R games.
____________________________________________________________________
GreenWario knows that the Tails Doll lives in the Sonic Gems Collection...
I love Sonic games and got the Sonic Gems collection for Game Cube. I started
playing the games, but I never heard of Sonic R, so I started playing it. I started
unlocking everything, but then I unlocked the Tails Doll, so I played as him.
He was not like any other character. He floated above the ground; a fluffy yellow doll
with black dark eyes and a gleaming ruby gem dangling from its head. I didn’t really
like him or how he levitated from the ground, so I stopped using him until one day, I
used him in a tagging game.
"Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
The song played in the background. When I won, I felt a strange sensation -- a
warm, damp, depressing migraine leading to an upset stomach. "Are you ready to
lose?" I turned around and froze at the sight of the Tails Doll. His eerie presence
didn't give me a chance to scream. I was sorry I ever brought the game, but I didn’t
know of the curse until it was too late. It was as if it gripped me with its mind and I was
his puppet -- on strings of fear. " LOSE YOUR SOUL!!!"
All I could do was stare at the fictional reality in front of me. While I retained my visual
perspective on the situation, I started to feel my legs again. I then said as proudly as
possible in this situation " I-I wont let you!" With a quick jolt of power, I broke free of its
deadly stare and jumped to the other side of my room, and panicking, grabbed the
closed thing and screamed an exclamatory scream. No one could hear me of course,
as my single mom was away on a business trip.
The darkness of the night loomed larger and I knew I was finished. All I could do was
squeeze my Knuckles plush toy which was the only thing I could hold on to. The Tails
Doll's eyes grew larger. The evil specter suddenly said "You Love Your Knuckles
Don't You?" I then took my Knuckles doll and said "With Pure good by my side I can
never lose. "Yeah," I thought I heard Knuckles say. In amazement I punched The Tails
Doll and he vanished from my room. I could have sworn knuckles said, "You got guts,
kid." The damp dark essence lifted from the room and peace replaced the evil -- for
now.
I then researched about Tails Doll online. I learned of the curse and I hide Sonic
gems collection in the basement, hopefully never to be found. I keep Knuckles by my
bed forevermore. It never spoke again. Who knew something I won at a carnival
would same my life?

Young Dylan is left with nothing by fear and doubt...
My name is Dylan. I woke up on a fine day - my birthday. I looked up. I saw my mum.
She had a tray. On the tray was breakfast and a box, wrapped in paper. I wouldn't
dare to touch my food yet, so I opened the box.
In it were a couple of games. They were Sonic Jam, Sonic R and also an Action
Replay for my Saturn. I played Sonic Jam 1st, then at night I played Sonic R. I was
terrible at it, so I checked my AR. It had many of cheats -- including some for Sonic
Jam and Sonic R. I picked Sonic R.
I only played with 2 cheats: "Win 1st place" and "unlock all characters." I thought I
would do tag mode as the Tails Doll after a race with my brother. Of course, because
of the cheats, I came in 1st. After that, it's all a blank.
I woke up. It said that I won on my results screen. I went downstairs. There was a
note on the fridge saying "Dylan, your mother and I are going out for dinner," so I
thought I would look up the Tails Doll on the internet and see what would come up. I
fainted after seeing the words shlumpy shlumpy slumpy fill my browser window.
When I woke up, I saw the Tails Doll staring at me with its lifeless eyes, so I ran like
mad. He grabbed my neck, but I reached for my knife and sliced the doll. It reacted
by grabbing his arm and vanishing.
Where did it go? Will I survive? Who knows.

Gavin 2000 sends us this spooky story of a mysterious Slait Lodl.
One day I heard that there was a Sonic Racing game called "Sonic R."
I was amazed that Sega finally made a Sonic racing game! Naturally, being a Sonic
fan, I went to buy Sonic R. When I got home, I noticed something a little weird on the
box. It said "purchased from Slait Lodl." I thought I heard the name somewhere... I
didn't think much of it.
A few minutes later I started playing. I was addicted after an hour or two. My mom
wanted me to stop playing for a while. I tried, but was drawn back by something. After
one week of playing, I unlocked every character. My favorite was The Tails Doll. Little
did i know of the curse!
I always played as the Tails Doll. Everything about him was enchanting. I didn't mind
that he was a doll. I especially loved the jewel hanging on his head. One day I booted
up Sonic R. The Tails Doll -- it was beckoning me!
I came closer and it said "Scrumpchy!" I jumped back and ran. I looked behind and
saw the Tails Doll hovering towards me quickly. I soon found myself against a wall. He
then arranged the words "Purchased from Slait Lodl" into "Purchased from Tails Doll".
He grabbed the Sonic R box and jammed it into my skull. He said "ArE yOu FeEliNg
ThE SuNsHiNe YeT?!?!" I woke up in my bed sweating. I saw the Sonic R box. It didn't
say anything about Slait Lodl. I got up and left the house for school. When I opened
up my locker I saw a little red jewel and those horrible eyes. The Tails Doll was in my
locker!
"Scrumpchy!"

Kane C. brings this tale from across the pond and perhaps the veil...
I know what some people think, that this so called "Curse" might be fake. After all, how
is a doll meant to come alive? How should we even know that stuff around us comes
alive when we least expect it? Well, my tale could be kinda weird.
Like every other day, I'm sitting in my room on my laptop and playing a Sonic game on
my PC. My family went out to go meet my auntie for a little bit. Seemed like hours, but
before they left they gave me a new game that used to belong to my mate from
school. Sonic R; I just call it Sonic Race instead.
Well, I almost completed the game -- took me more then two hours. Only had one
more race to finish and that was with this Tails Doll that everyone talked about. I read
the stories about other people and stuff. I just thought it was made up so I continued
to play. But then something happened. The lights in my room just started to go on and
off. I thought it was just a power outage, but it wasn't. I looked outside and saw that all
the other lights were fine, so I turned the lights off and on again. They seemed perfect.
After a few minutes, it started happening again. I was in the middle of a race with the
Tails Doll. Don't ask me why I mostly chose him. Next thing I know I hear a voice calling
out, as if someone was in the house with me. It was calling out my name. Everytime it
called my name, it was followed with something: "Come on out, I know you're here.
Come and join us." I was freaked out; had someone broken into my house? Was it a
prank just to scare me? I just ignored it, and carried on with what I was doing.
Next thing I know, it called out again. "I must be dreaming," I said to myself, shaking my
head and rubbing my eyes. Just then my PC turned itself off. "What the hell?" I called
out in shook, I tried to turned it back on but it never did. Then my lights turned off as if
someone was in the room with me, doing this stuff. I knew something must be up, but I
could have just been asleep at my desk as always. I walked out of the bedroom
looking around the side of the door but no one was there.
"Ok this isn't funny!" I shouted out. I must have been sleeping but I couldn't tell so I
walked into the bathroom, shut the door behind me and turned the taps on. After it
was full, I started throwing water on my face. I didn't care if my clothes got wet. I look
up at the mirror and saw that the Tails Doll; the same one from my game. I turned
around in shock, expecting to see him, but I was all alone. I looked back at the mirror
and it was just me. I must have been awake if the water didn't rouse me.
I walked to the door and opened it, when I heard that same voice, "Come and join us,
you must be that pure. Come and be another one." I was shaking with fear, I didn't
move. I don't know who this guy was; it must have been some kinda joke. "This isn't
funny anymore! You had your laugh" I said, almost speechless. I heard a loud bang
from upstairs (I have a 3 story home, I was on the 2nd floor) and then I heard the
same voice except it seemed softer, not like the ones I been hearing. It was coming
from downstairs.
I didn't know which was safer: downstairs, upstairs or my own room. In the end, I went
downstairs. Someone must be in the house with me, as the T.V was on, playing a
song I only heard once: "Can you feel the sunshine?" Just then their was another
bang, but this one seemed closer. I turned around and looked at the stairs. I could
hear something bashing against them. I couldn't see since the stairs were on the side
wall in the hall, but I was in the living room. Suddenly, something fell off the stairs. I
could barely see what it was.
My eyes widened in shock to see a small Tails Doll hiding off to the side of the stairs. I
thought I saw something move in the room with me, so I turned around. It turned out to
be just a shadow. I turned back to see the Tails Doll. To my surprise, it was gone.
"You have to be pure, come and join me." That same voice, the same tone, the same
sound. Over and over again, as if he was mocking me, pretending I was another one
of those people. This time there was another sound, but it was something walking
down the stairs. I didn't want to find out so I closed the door. I moved over to the round
dining table and started to push it with everything I had in me to block the door.
After what seemed to me like hours of pushing, I finally blocked the door, stopping any
thing from coming in. I watched in shock as something was moving the handle up and
down. I knew it must be that person. I tried to look in the keyhole, but something must
of been blocking it from his side. I could only see some orange fur and the blackness
of his shadow. "Please open the door. I just want to be your friend."
I just stepped back "Yeah right!" I shouted back. "Please? I only want a friend, a new
friend." I didn't reply that time. Trying to confuse me he was, as if I wasn't that smart.
"Okay then, have it your way." His voice changed, into a deeper, more serious tone.
"I'm gonna give you to the count of 10 to open this door before I break it open." He
must of been faking. But I heard him counting down "10...9...8...." Every second he
ticked down was as if I were just waiting for the firing squad. "3...2...1."
I knew he stopped, but after that it was just silence, nothing. But I could still hear him.
Just then a orange paw burst through the door. His paw was hanging as if it was hurt
or dead, clawing at the door. He took his paw out and must have looked into the hole
because I heard him say, "Ah, there you are." I couldn't believe it for a second. All this
time, I thought this curse was actually fake, when it was real. There was crack, as he
thrust another paw through the door, trying to get in. "I gave you a chance," he said in
one of them rude, angry tones.
"Just go ahead! As if I would join you, I know you won't kill me!" I said smiling at my
own remark. That must have really angered him, because he rammed the door,
pushing the table out of its place and almost sending it flying at me. I tried to dodge it,
but it hit against my side almost breaking in the process. There he stood, that damn
doll with the same red thing above his head. He hovered into the room. I took a step
back and made eye contact with him. "Hold it" I said. He stopped.
I didn't know what to do, run? Attack him? Beg? What was there for me to do? "What
do you want anyway?" I asked him, trying to keep my cool. "Why, I want you. I need
another slave and another pure one, so I came hunting for you." I thought he would
say that. "I ain't going anywhere with you," I said. I tried to run past him, but he
blocked the door and punched me in the face, almost sending me flying backwards.
"Oh, but you don't have a choice."
I was angry with this so I returned the blow, punching him in the face as well. He didn't
take it kindly and scratched me along my arm. Some blood dripped from it onto the
floor as I grabbed hold of it. "Come now, you don't want to die do you?" he asked me.
"Any where, expect your place will be great thanks" I said. I rushed him. I kept on
coming at him, punching him, kicking him, but hardly anything worked. He just hovered
there, scratching and punching me back.
After 2 minutes, he already beat me. I fell to the floor, mostly bloody and hurt. I was
expecting him to kill me, as he does to every other person who gets in his way, but
instead he grabbed my hair and pulled my face up until he made eye contact. "You
got nice eyes, maybe you are a pure soul," he said, letting go and bashing my head
against the floor.
After that I blacked out. Next thing I know I'm in a room, but it wasn't the same one I
had been in. I got up from the floor and looked at my clothes. They still had the same
blood stains and water as before, but the wounds I got from him were gone. I looked
around and saw him standing... well, not standing but hovering. "Since you seem to be
pure, I'm gonna let you live, but I can't let you go."
He then disappeared, shutting the door behind him. I went over to the door and tried
to open it but it was locked. Any thing can be possible; if he's real, what else could be
real? What other curses could come true? Will I get away, or will I go crazy and die
from this doll? Only time will tell. But I ain't gonna let some lifeless doll take over my
life. We will see who has control over whom soon.
Sorry if it's long, but very soon, he will be the one who finds out how pure a person
can be.

Nerdman has a secret savior. If only we all were that lucky....
A story of a curse. A site dedicated to the Tails Doll. The videos of "proof" on
Youtube...
I didn't believe them. Until I bought the Sonic Gems Collection -- My name is
Nerdman, and this is my tale.
Three nights ago, I was searching for a Miles "Tails" Prower themed screen saver
when I discovered stories of a horrid creature that is neither living nor dead. The
stories of the Tails Doll. I had read many of them, thinking they were amazing. Of
course, I didn't believe any of them. People dying from a curse that originates from a
video game? Bah! I searched Youtube for sightings of the Tails Doll, and some were
actually believable. As I watched the movies, I felt a chill up my spine. I had heard
odd clicking noises behind me; I thought it was my cats playing. I looked behind and
saw nothing. It was about midnight when I watched and read these stories. Now, I
may not be a coward... but I am far from the bravest of people.
The next day, I decided to play tricks on my mom. After all, I wanted the Sonic R game.
I told her the stories of the curse. She did not much believe them either. We laughed
as I made up my own story to tell to her, but that story was simple and inspired by
others, not truly my own work. I went to GameStop that day and bought Sonic Gems
Collection, looking forward to playing all the games. Of course, the game was badly
scratched, but it was the last one they had. I took it home and intended on returning it
for a refund or possibly another copy the next day. I immediately put the game into
my brother's Gamecube and went to Sonic R. The game would not start the first few
times, but it worked eventually. The game was exciting, but short; I finished it within
about three hours. The first character I unlocked was MechaKnuckles, then Super
Sonic. I used the two of them to unlock Metal Sonic, and finally, the Tails Doll.
I wanted to test the curse, so I played as the Tails Doll on every stage. I didn't realize
how much of a mistake that was. I continued to play Sonic R until it was about time for
dinner (which is just about when I get hungry). When I got back, I decided to try to
play Sonic the Fighters, but the game would not load at all... It seemed the CD was
far too damaged for the game. Instead I chose to play Sonic CD until I got bored, then
I went back to Sonic R. I played using mostly the Tails Doll until my brother returned
from work.
When he got home that night, we watched some shows, then went on to bed. Of
course, I didn't believe anything would happen. After all, the curse is just a story. As I
tried to sleep, I noticed what looked like a light shining from the other side of the
room. It would seemed to shine for the entire night. My brother would come and go
into the room as he was making his lunch for work the next day. My oldest brother
would go into his room, which is attached to ours by a window. Late in the night, my
brother got up to go into the bathroom. When I heard the door open once again, I
would use it for myself.
When I returned to my bed, just as I covered myself with a blanket, I heard a sinister
childish voice say "Now it's my turn." I looked up to see a red light bounce into the
bathroom. I continued to stare at the door, until it opened once again. My mother
came out of it. She looked down at me looking at her and seemed as though she was
smiling at me in a way I had never seen her smile before. She left the room, and I
closed my eyes thinking it was my imagination. After all, it wasn't very clear as I didn't
have my glasses on.
I opened my eyes again minutes later and I could see the room as if those glass
circles were over my eyes. I looked around the room to see the shining light once
again; it was bright and white. It could not be related to the curse. As I looked back to
the wall on the other side of me, I saw a silhouette of a figure hanging in the shadows.
The silhouette of the Tails Doll! I immediately turned to the other side, scanning the
wall for anything out of place. The only thing I saw was that light. I could hear my
brother moving around from the bunk under mine. Laughing to myself, I began to sing
"Can you feel the Sunshine" in my head. As I progressed in the song, my heart began
to hurt. Sharp pains had arrived all over my body. I heard what I thought was a voice
come from my oldest brother's computer; I couldn't make out what it said. My heart
hurt more and more. I stopped thinking of the Sunshine and started thinking of
"Super Sonic Racing" and the pain in my heart subsided. I slipped into sleep soon
after and the song of the Golden Hero faded. The song related to the Curse would
return. I would hear words coming from my brother's computer again. My brother
didn't seem to hear them... The words however echoed in my head as these ones
were clear. "T.D."
My oldest brother, still awake, began to laugh in a way I had never heard him laugh.
Whether he was just trying to laugh quietly as to not wake the two of us sleeping or if
he was not himself, I still do not know. I would hear this laugh throughout the night. I
began to think of more songs that would have to do with the Shining Hedgehog, such
as "Open your Heart" and "Live and Learn". And the noises would stop, my heart
would not feel pain, but my brother would continue to laugh. As I thought of these
songs, the bright white light would continue to grow across the wall.
I witnessed the Tails Doll hovering over my bed the next time I woke up; the red light
shining menacingly over his head. I blinked and he was gone. I looked to the wall, and
the white light was gone. I began once again trying to sleep, thinking of the Spiked
Golden Hero as I slipped into unconsciousness. I woke up as my older brother was
leaving for work. I thought of the events that night as a weird dream, from reading
such tales. As I reached for the door to leave my room, it turned dark, and for a split
second, I could see bright red writing on the door.
You are safe for now, but I will return...
T.D.
That is when I realized, it was not just a dream. I had survived the night, only by luck...
or someone protecting me... It was then that I found that the shining light on the wall
was not the curse... it was my protection. As the Tails Doll had come for my soul,
Super Sonic had been there to stop it.

This cryptic call comes from someone named Bosshank...
Yesterday, I played the cursed songs "Living in the City" and "Can you Feel the
Sunshine" with my friends in my room, trying to call him. He has yet to show up. Tails
Doll, if you're reading this, I'm willing to be part of your Dark Army.
I'll keep everyone informed. See you later.

Karie is a little a little girl, but age matters not to the Tails Doll...
I was about nine years old when I saw the Tails Doll.
It was a two-part haunting. Only one week between the times. First time was when I
was playing ( Sonic R ). I had already beat it but I loved playing it. I like Tails a lot so I
use him a lot. One day I was playing the game and the Sonic toys I had on my shelf
fell down -- Well, all except the Tails Doll I had. The weird thing is that he’s in the front,
so he should have fallen first!
I didn’t think anything of it at the time. I got off my bed put the toys on my desk and
turned back to my bed and sat back down.
I went back to playing the game and it wouldn't stop playing the song “Can you feel
the sunshine?” Well, I thought it was busted so I called my brother who’s room is right
next to mine. He came in and asked me ”Did you put your Tails Doll in my room?”
I said” no -- wait.” I looked up at the shelf, and noticed that my Doll was gone! My
brother put the toy in my hands and went back in his room. I looked at the toy. I
heard my brother yelling ”Stop singing!” I sat there, confused. I wasn't singing.
Then my brother slammed the door open and said “Stop it! You're so loud! “ I looked
at him and said “I’m not singing!” He looked at me and his eyes got wide and said
“You weren't singing "Can you Feel the Sunshine?!”
I said ”No, but the game I was playing just a...” I looked at the game and the screen
had The Tails Doll on it! No music was playing. My brother ran back in to his room and
slammed the door! I looked back the screen and the doll was gone! I looked at my
doll and I heard the creak of the springs in my bed!
I looked over at the side of my bed. The Tails Doll was on it, staring at me! I started
crying and said “Why are you here?!” I didn't know what was going on...
I didn’t know about the curse at the time! He stood up and walked to me and said
“I like your room...and I like your soul too! “ I screamed and my door busted open! My
brother said “ What's wrong?” He looked at me and I had blood all over my shirt and
doll. I had a big cut on my stomach!!! I had cloth and stuffing in it! I hurt so bad!
The next time, he got my friends for not believing in him...
____________________________________________________________________
This little tale comes from Okibi-chan, who is the newest member of the Doll's ranks...
Call me Okibi-chan. I'm here to tell my tale that ended up in a shower of blood.
My name was Nishashima Akira (In case you don't know, The last name is first, and
the first name is last), and I am 15 years old. I was born with heterochromia -- I had
one grey eye and one blue. People usually made fun of me and my own parents
couldn't even look me in the face. The only people who didn't treat me abnormally
were my two cousins, Michelle and Sora, and my older step-brother Edward. One day
I was on a Sonic forum when I found this site and I read all of the stories, and I
believed. My youngest cousin, Michelle, said one of her friends was killed from the
curse. But the two oldest, Sora and Ed, called it fake, saying "Its just a bunch of
superstitious crap". I desperately wanted to try it, so I ordered Sonic Gems Collection
off of the internet for 20 dollars and the day I got it I completed it with 100% in a few
hours.
One week later I invited my cousins over to try the curse. I let Ed play it because he
was better playing Resort Island than me. He caught Egg Robo first. Metal Knuckles
and Metal Sonic were both caught within the first 2 minutes. Super Sonic evaded him
to the point where he wasn't even following the game's code. Super Sonic warped to
the other side of the map past the boundaries of the level, and he didn't move from
there. Me and Michelle were starting to get really scared. Sora was trying to
rationalize what she just saw. "I-its a glitch, yeah a glitch." she said. We cut off the
Gamecube, but the game was still playing. All of the doors locked instantly,
and we all screamed. Tails Doll was playing by himself and he eventually escaped the
level boundaries. He went straight for Super Sonic, and he wasn't moving.
We tried everything to cut the TV off. The power button didn't work. Pulling the plug
didn't either. I got the heaviest thing in the room, a metal folding chair, and we
rammed it against the T.V. The glass shattered but the game was still playing. We
could still hear the music, "Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
After 20 seconds the music stopped, and the results page music played. The power
went out in the room. When it came on though we saw something I could have gone
through my whole life without seeing -- the Tails Doll was hovering right above the pile
of glass from the T.V.
A more demonic version of "Can you feel the sunshine" started to play. Michelle
started to cry -- after all she was 7. His jewel started to glow and the glass floated into
the air. "You two thought I was fake, didn't you." He said. He had no mouth, but we
could hear him. "If I am fake then so is this!" The shards of glass fired straight
towards Sora and Ed, but they ducked to avoid it. I knocked over the entertainment
center that the T.V. was on and it landed on top of the demented marionette. "Is it
gone?" I said. A red glow was emitted from the center of the room and he was
"reborn". "C'mon. Did you really think that you can kill me?! I am a transcendent
deity!" He pulled his signature butcher knife and started swinging. He stabbed
Ed through the shoulder. Blood poured out of his arm. The doll laughed. He pulled
his knife and repeatedly stabbed him until he collapsed. I presumed him dead. Sora
started crying and Michelle couldn't look at him so she closed her eyes. He chanted
some spell and the shards of glass rose again and went straight through me. I
screamed and fell down to the floor. I closed my eyes when he was attacking Michelle
and Sora, because I didn't want to see them get hurt, although their screams still
haunt me to this day.
I passed out from loss of blood and when I came to, I was in a hospital with severe
cuts and burns, and a letter on a desk near my bed with my name on it. I opened the
letter and I read it.
"I think you and your cousins will be of use to me at a later date, but don't worry about
your step-brother. Lets just say I threw him a bone -- literally. Bwahahahahaha!
Signed, The Tails Doll.
P.s. Look out your window when you have a chance."
I called the nurse to take me to the window because I couldn't move very well. The
sign said,"Resort Island Hospital: Can you feel the Sunshine?" I asked the nurse
about the sign and she said that I was at Resort Island, a new island off the coast of
California, and I was rushed there with two other people from our house for "special"
medical treatment due to what happened. And that I was one of the Doll's three new
servants.
One of his other servants took us to my house but when we got there it had police
tape all around it. The policeman told us that a homicidal, escaped mental patient
broke in and slaughtered everyone. They found six dead bodies. Mine, Edward's,
Michelle's, Sora's, and my parents'. I looked at my hand and there were letters
marked onto my left hand. TD. My finger prints were gone too. Michelle's and Sora's
were just the same.
The servant told us to get into the limo, and we didn't want to anger him so we did. He
handed me another letter and drove off. "Dear Akira Nishashima (English version),
Your anger will do more than kill your parents, just watch out the window. TD" I
looked out the window and I saw my school. An explosion occurred and blood rained
down from the sky. I watched in horror as I couldn't look away. Sora watched as she
covered Michelle's eyes while she was crying, and Michelle was also because she
knew what was happening. I wanted to get payback -- but nothing like this.
I found my step-brother; he was transformed into one of the Tails Dogs. And now we
have to serve the Tails Doll, or else. I also gave myself a new name based on
another name I was given at birth.
Okibi no Urufu (Blazing Heat [Scorch] the Wolf).

This LONG tale cames from Camron, who claims to have faced down the doll with is
pack of pals...
I have never been a fan of racing games, nor am I any good at them. That is why I
never believed in this Blasted “Tails Doll curse”. That is not to say I don’t believe in
the supernatural though; on the contrary, I have had more experience with what
others believe to be ‘unnatural’. From meetings with ‘ghosts’ to much stranger things.
For instance, the first ghost I met led me to a secret chamber in some nearby ruins.
What I found there was a sword, I now know that sword “The Zanetsuken” (In fact, I
named the main character in my up-coming book after it. Cool, huh?)
But enough rambling-that-will-probably-make-you-not-believe-me. On with my tale.
It was a sunny day a few weeks ago. Right at the start of the summer holidays, if I’m
not mistaken. I was taking the usual half-hour walk to my friends house when the
music I was listening to (it was either a song form one of the Pokémon movies, or a
Crush40 title) on my headphones stopped playing, some weird sort of static began
playing as a strange energy radiated all around me. I thought I made out the words
“peel” and “Sunlight” or something; but I merely took it in stride, thinking the Spirits
where trying to tell me something. The music resumed after a few moments.
I took a few steps forward and my music stopped again, but instead of static my phone
began to vibrate and my ringtone (Live and Learn, of course) began to play. I
answered it by sliding the phone outwards (I loved my slidy phone) and my friend's
voice came through my headphones “Yo Camron, where are ya? You’re takin’ ages” it
was Dean (the person I was going to visit) “oh soz about that, me mam mad me clean
me room before I could come over” I answered, still bitter at how mothers always
seemed to do that. “Oh bummer, Anyway; guess what I finally completed...?” he
sounded excited. “uhhh... Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: explorers ‘o’ darkness?” (We
where both Pokémon fans.) “Naah... it’ll take us BOTH a while yet. No, I’ve completed
Sonic R.” My heart stopped. My instincts immediately told me to run to my friends’
house, but then I merely thought it was coincidence. I mean, the Tails Doll can’t
REALLY exist. Can it?
I darted down the street, taking full advantage of its steep sloped design, and the fact
that my legs are muscley enough for fast running (fastest in my school). I reached the
top of my friends’ street in a matter of minutes, again feeling that strange energy. I slid
my phone open and called my friend Christopher.
He answered “Hello, Robs’ red meat rode kill, you kill ‘em and we grill ‘em,” his usual
opening line. “Yo Chris, something’s happenin' down Deans' again. Can you go to me
house and get the “Gift”? I asked urgently. “How many times do I have to tell ye? No-
one can hear these fuggin phone calls, call it by its name!” He was slightly annoyed,
but he was mostly mocking. “Just go and get it, and hurry up. We don’t have much
time.” I hung up and immediately began inner monologing. “If what I thinks’ gonna
happen, then we are totally screwed -- I’ve heard this thing can’t be killed. That it’s not
normal.” I suddenly felt the same surge of energy that had helped me become who I
am... I felt my confidence boost to its usual place in these situations “Then again; I’m
not exactly normal, either.” My thoughts where suddenly disturbed by a strange
piercing screech, the strange energy intensified tenfold then resonated as a shimmer
that was almost un-detectible passed by me. “Shit, it’s here, I know it. Christopher
better hurry up. Dean won’t be able to hold it off for long”.
Two minutes of agonising waiting passed by when I finally heard hurried footsteps
approach. “What the HELL was that? I nearly shit meself when it passed uz”
Christopher demanded, obviously referring to the shimmer. “You’re not gonna believe
this. Ever heard of ‘the curse of the Tails Doll’?”. “D’ye think I’m stupid? Of course I
have... lemme guess. This is it?” he sarcastically stated. “Yep,” I answered; taking the
case Christopher was holding and removing the strangely-shaped sword that was in
there. It was an ancient Falcata. “Do you always have to use that...? I mean, we live in
Peterlee for fugs sake. It’s not like there’s crime...and how come we are the only ones
that have strange stuff happen to us?” He was asking a lot of questions. “Well, I have
to use these. I may be good at Martial arts, but you’ve seen what I can do with this. As
for the strange stuff, well we DO usually look for it to be fair,” I replied with a grin. “And
why do you always act like that sword’s special?” Ok, he was being daft now. “Let’s
just go, you’ve wasted a full minute,” we hurried to Dean’s house.
We got to the door to find it was not damaged or anything. Then again; Dean lived in
a two-story house and his room was actually an attic conversion. So he kinda lived on
his own level. We where just about to knock when there was a loud crash and a
scream of pain from Dean. We bolted inside with Christopher behind me, brandishing
his favourite knife. I knew what had happened. Dean owned a lot of consoles (being
an only child to two working parents does that to you) so to keep them in the same
place, he had an overlarge T.V stand with a reasonably-sized T.V to match. The only
drawback was -- it was badly balanced and one single knock would topple it. But what
we heard wasn’t it toppling over; it was someone crashing into it.
We finally got to the top of the stairs by his room, quiet, as to not alert anyone to our
presence. I heard deep, rasping breaths. I knew the Tails Doll didn’t need to breathe,
so he was probably trying to scare Dean by doing this. I peeked around the corner to
see Dean slumped on the floor attempting to get up. He was clutching his side with an
obviously broken arm and the side of his face was bleeding badly. What next came
into view sent a shockwave of terror AND horror down my spine. I thought this battle
would be winnable; after all, we where facing a plush-sized doll. What I saw hovering
mournfully toward Dean was no plush-sized Tails Doll, but a fully human-sized Monster.
It was by no means the ‘Ugly’ kind of evil looking. In fact, it resembled my beloved Tails
plushie that I had at home. Only, the way that it hovered and the eerie glow of its
control crystal told me that I was truly looking at Evil. It reached Dean and raised its
arm and bent to touch his forehead in order to manually absorb his soul. Dean
suddenly pivoted on the spot and kicked forward managing to both knock the doll
back, but also stand up in the process. It looked like Dean hadn’t forgotten the
training that my father had put us all through. In fact, it looked as though Dean could
actually turn this thing around. But all the rising hope faded when Tails Doll began to
transform into a shadow on the wall, preparing to strike Dean when it was fully formed.
I turned and signaled to Christopher to strike when I gave the sign. Unlike most who
faced this Evil bastard, I was not alone. I was about to come from my hiding place
when I again turned to Chris. I signalled for him to call Ben, (the only one of us who
actually knew about this stuff) and for him to give me his knife. He handed it to me and
silently slid down the stairs.
I turned back to Dean and to my horror, the Doll was about to lunge at him. There was
no time to think, I had to act. I rushed from my hiding place and yelled for Dean to
duck. His reflexes kicked in just in the nick of time and he just barely dodged a well-
thrown combat knife that met its target in the shoulder and pinned the Cursed Doll to
the wall. “Be careful, this thing’s strong. It threw me all the way across the room with
one hand, and it broke my arm like it was nothing,” Dean said hurriedly. We both
retreated near the Destroyed T.V and stand on the other side of the room. “I guess
the tales are true huh? Well, go and get your spear dean, I think you might be able to
use it with one hand?” I was more asking then telling. “Yeah, I’m lucky it was this arm --
if it had been my right; I would’ve been screwed” He rushed out of the room and made
his way to his family's weapons room (His grandfather who lived with them collected
weaponry and considered Dean's prized spear as just another weapon).
The doll next did something I never knew it could do; rather than take the knife out of
its shoulder, it simply ‘absorbed’ the knife itself. “Whoa, you’re just FULL of surprises,
aren’t ya? And I bet Darkness too," I said. It stared into my eyes with its own; looking
into them was like staring into an abyss. I felt some kind of energy connect my head
as the control crystal on its head glowed brighter. Without warning a voice began to
speak within my head, its voice was as cold and hate-filled as Satan himself. “You are
my next victim?” I thought I detected a hint of sarcasm in its voice...if that’s what you
could call it “Do you think that puny rod of sharpened metal could stop me?” There
was definitely sarcasm in that last tone. “Well shit, I guess I’ll have to try” I said with a
slight grin. I lunged forward with my blade held outward beside me. I brought it upward
when I reached the Doll but it simply phased through the blade somehow. It grabbed
hold of my neck with both of its small hand-like things and all of my energy simply
Drained. The Doll threw me across the room and I collided painfully with the wall. I
looked up to see it rushing toward me, it had moved the combat knife inside of it and it
was presently sticking out of its hand. I could not Believe it...Barely five minutes had
passed and I was about to get lunged at by a psychotic doll already.
The doll was about 1 meter away and about to strike when the brunt of a spear struck
it on the chest and forced it back. It was Dean; “This is for the broken arm” He struck it
on the head and sent it into the opposite wall. What was he doing...? There was a
sharp blade on the other end, yet he was using the- I suddenly realised... so many
people had probably tried to slash that Doll that he probably Built up immunity or
figured out how to prevent sharp objects from touching it. Dean ran up to the doll and
slammed it in the face with the spear end, the doll screeched in pain then swung its
arm up and caught the spear as Dean swung for a second strike. The doll spun the
spear and Dean was forced to let go or the sharp point would mince him.
The doll got up and gripped the spear and copied Dean's actions, first swinging for his
chest; then his head. Dean dodged the first blow, but not the second and was sent
into the wall behind him. He slumped to the floor unconscious. I remembered the
words my mentor taught all of us during the training. “No matter what happens, even if
you are facing a tough bully; all you need is a little focus” I wish he had thought that
maybe we weren’t going to be fighting just bullies and drunken teens.
I crept behind the doll and began to focus... channeling my adrenaline so I could do
this. I got into position and dived toward the doll with my sword raised above my head.
The Doll heard me just in time and tried to move out the way, but my sword caught the
side of his arm and ripped it all the way down. The doll hovered to the other side of
the room quickly and screeched so loud and so high-pitched that I thought my ear
drums would burst. A hammer was thrown thought the entrance of the room and
landed squarely in the middle of the Dolls head.
Ben entered the room looking smug “Oh yeah, I’m just THAT awesome!” He was
always THAT cocky too. ”About time you showed up. You only live three streets away
for fugs sake” I yelled. “What? I couldn’t find my hammer,” he replied. “Well, now
what? Don’t you know how to get rid of this thing?” I yelled back. “Ok, there’s only one
thing people say the doll fears, that is pictures of sonic and stuff like that. I was with
dean at Gamestation the other day and he bought a Sonic Doll. You look under the
bed and I’ll distract this doll.” He was very good with urban legends. I jumped next to
Deans’ miraculously still tidy bed and began to search for the bag as Ben ran up to
the Tails Doll that was finally getting up. When he reached it he hit it with a very
powerful uppercut, making it smack off the low-hanging ceiling.
I pulled countless trinkets from under the bed, from anime figures to old toy guns.
There was a lot of stuff there. I reached under and seized something fluffy, I pulled it
out to find it was a Sonic doll. My heart lept. When I looked round, Tails Doll had Ben
by the throat and was about to cut with his knife. “BEN QUICKLY, RIP ITS ARM OFF” I
yelled commandingly. He complied and grabbed the knife-wielding arm and yanked
hard, ripping it off as I got behind the doll and shoved the Sonic doll into the socket as
hard as I could. The Doll looked at what I had shoved into its socket and immediately
let Ben go. It screeched loudly and immediately vanished. It was quite depressing how
it went, really. I had hoped for at least some words of revenge, but no such luck.
And that is my tale. Dean’s arm wasn’t broken after all, as we found out when he
woke up, merely just hurt. His face was patched up by Ben who is a qualified first-aider
since he goes to the army cadets. We tidied up the room to find the T.V was ok, but
the Sonic R and console had been crushed. When Dean's parents got home, we
merely said that the T.V stand had fallen on Dean and made him bleed. Christopher
had apparently spent all this time sharpening a knife and ran into Dean’s room like a
maniac, still thinking the Doll was there.
About the spear –and-sword using: I and my friends enjoy sparring with each other.
Using wooden representatives of our favourite weapons. Dean likes using spears, Ben
likes using Hammers, I like swords and Christopher likes using smaller bladed
weapons. I know most of this sounds hardly-believable, but it is my reality. And I enjoy
it immensely.

MoonClaw77 had a creepy encounter after reading this site...
My name is MoonClaw77. I've experienced the Tails Doll curse in a strange way.
When I read your site, I was a huge skepticm but some of the stories gave me a good
spook. That afternoon I thought nothing about it, but then when night came, it was a
whole different story. Just to tell you, I never played Sonic R, the Gem Collection,
written any fanfics or drew comics of any sort to provoke the curse.
That night, I didn't sleep for two hours because I sensed he was close...really,
REALLY close. But I half-convinced myself that it wasn't a real curse and then finally
slept.
But then I dreamed.
I was in someplace like SSB, but the background was all black but I could feel solid
ground under my feet. I heard squeaking that sounded like a mouse or rat, but I
ignored it. Then, someone screamed, "TAILS DOLL!!!" and I whipped around to see
my friends laughing and kicking a plushie around. I couldn't make it out....until I saw a
single crimson gem dangling in the air.
I shocked myself awake from sheer terror, and saw something attempting to
materialize over my bed. Now I was shaking so hard that my bed was rattling violently.
It had a cord, and a butcher knife, covered in liquid crimson....blood, and lots of it.
However, something was holding the deranged doll back...
A seal maybe?....

Bored00900 learns that you must be careful what you wish for, and what you spend
$20 on...
I don't have much time to explain -- it cant stay tied up forever....
My name is Jack and yesterday, my friend Mike sleep over. He is in love with Sega's
Sonic. In fact, his room is filled with Sonic plushies, posters, comics, DVD's, and what
ever had Sonic face on it. So anyway, we were crazy at the sleep over. My mom
couldn't take us screaming and yelling, so she gave us $20 and sent us to the mall. Of
course, Mike being a video game lover, he dragged me into the GameStop there. It
took him only a minute to see that they had a used Sonic Gems Collection there for
$15. We bought it, thinking that it would be fun. Our mistake.
We walk back home and we agreed to play Sonic R first, because it was 2 player, and
he hated fighters (Sonic the Fighters). We put it in my Gamecube and played it for 3
hours. He always beat me in the game. It took us only 47 minutes to unlock the Tails
Doll. I decided to play as the Tails Doll, because I wanted to see if I could finally beat
him. Turns out --no. I lost.
I got really mad because I could not stand hearing him brag about how good he was.
We looked at the time and saw it was 10:10pm. I heard if you make a wish at 10:10, it
comes true. I was still mad at him, so I wished he would die. I know, that was mean of
me, but after hearing "I'M THE BEST AT THIS GAME!!! " for 3 hours, you would of too.
Then, all of a sudden, the lights went out.
I called to my mom, but there was no answer. She must have gone out, I thought. I
went to go check if anyone else's power went out on my block, and I told Mike to stay
in the TV room. Everyone's power was still on! I went back to tell him that it was only
our power, but when I got to the TV room, my wish came true. Mike had been killed!
His head was all on the other side of the room, and he had slashes all over his back.
The room was covered in blood. I began to weep and said I was sorry for wishing for
this to happen. Then i heard someone singing "can you feel the sunshine..." I turned
around and saw a blood covered Tails Doll -- the very same one that was on Sonic R!
I backed up with fear away from the doll. "heeeeeeelllllooo..." the doll said. "Did you do
this to my friend?" I said to the doll. The doll smiled and said "Yeeeesssssss. Likkkke
you wisssssshhhhed. Now I Have To kiiiiillllll youuuu!" "Why?" I said "Why do you have
to kill me?"
"Because that, is myyyyyyy wiiiissshhh...."
I ran. Fast. Into the kitchen. I tried to go through the back door, but it was locked.
Then I got a idea. I ran to my room, and got a whole thing of packaging tape ( I just
sent a toy to my friend in CA) and ran back into the blood-covered TV room. The Tails
Doll was still there... grinning. I grabbed the tape and tied him up, and I tossed him
into the closet. I don't have much time -- send help. My address is OH NO HE GOT
OUT HELjhsdbuygsd HE"igbudsfhg KNIiujuijjoiajsddu
You're next.

Here's some eerie occurrences, documented by Austin della hoya...
Hello there. I have a name, but I prefer to be called by my nickname Austin della hoya.
I have read the stories, and I've been having some, should we say "signs" from the
tails doll. Remember, I've never done the curse and I wanted to do it, but I have a bad
feeling that if I do, it bad things will happen.
First, I was walking in my hallway and I felt someone was in the bathroom. I peered in.
It was dark, there were no lights on and I saw something that resembled the Tails Doll
staring at me. The second I saw it, cold sweat came down my spine. I ran, hoping it
would go away. That whole day I felt something was following me.
Second, for some reason I've been having weird dreams through my life. In my
dreams, I actually see the future. A few nights ago, I had a dream that I got 100% on
Sonic R. After that, I woke up.
Third, from my computer speakers, I always hear "Can you feel the sunshine, does it
brighten up your day?" over and over again. It's creepy. When It's quiet, It gets louder,
and turns into another voice singing it, even if the speakers are off.
All I'm saying is that even if you don't perform any curse, you're never safe from him.
Even if you've never heard of him, you're never safe from him.
And I have "Can You Feel the Sunshine" stuck in my head.

Sami send us her tale of love, loss and desperation...
Hello. I do not wish to disclosed my full name, so just call me Sami.
I have read several stories from your site, but I didn't believe them until a few weeks
ago. It was December, and my birthday was coming up. I was living with my boyfriend,
but I really wanted out of the relationship, let's just call him Sai.
Anyway, it was the day right before my birthday. Sai had left for work, and I slept in at
our apartment. I had school every other day, so it was pretty cool. Anyway, Sai knew
of my love for Sonic Games, and I had asked him for Sonic Gems Collection. He knew
of the curse, but he would do anything for me. When he came home from work, I was
playing my Wii. I didn't notice he had a little bag with him, but I already knew what he
got me.
It was the next day, and I had school. When I came home, he "surprised" me with a
small wrapped present. I set down my bag and took the present from his hands. I
quickly unwrapped it and squealed when I saw the words, "Sonic Gems Collection"
under shiny plastic. I imeadiately shoved the game in my Wii and started to play Sonic
CD. He sat on the couch watching me happily as I sat on the floor playing the game.
He went to bed early because of a meeting in the morning. I didn't have school, so I
could stay up fairly late. I made sure Sai wasn't in the room, and I switched over to
Sonic R to proved the damned curse wrong. A few hours later, it was around 10 or 11
at night and I finished the game. 100%. I waited for another 5 minutes. "Haha, I knew I
was right. That stupid curse ain't really true!" Of course, my Texan cockyness came
out when in reality, I shouldn't have.
It was a few weeks later, and I had started to work on a Tails Doll plushie. I kept it
hidden from Sai because I knew he'd want me to throw it away. One day, he had come
home and saw me playing as the Tails Doll on tag four. My TD plush on top of the TV.
I had already tagged the mecha characters, and was just about to tag Super Sonic
when Sai yelled and turned off the Wii. I had just tagged Super Sonic when he turned
off my Wii. The screen didn't fade and he grabbed me away from the console. He
knocked my Tails Doll plushie off the TV into the trash can, and lobbed the CD out the
window. I swore at him, grabbed my doll out of the trash and went to my room,
slamming the door behind me. I curled up on my bed with my doll and I heard Sai slam
his door as well. I got ready to leave because some friends were picking me up to go
somewhere. Before I left, I set the doll back on my TV. I kissed his forehead and left.
A few hours later, I came back home. When I opened the door, there were no lights
on. No sounds excepet for the AC and myself. I went to turn on the lights and sat down
on my couch. I looked at the TV and no longer saw my plush. I had thought Sai had
gotten mad and lobbed it out the window as well. Ho boy, was I wrong. I went to his
room for I couldn't find him anywhere else. I heard an all too familiar tune coming from
his room. I knew it was his computer because he didn't have a sound system and
neither did I. I knew he hated "Can you feel the Sunshine", and wondered profusely
why he would be playing it. I tried the knob. Surprisingly, it was unlocked. I took off my
shoes because he wanted to go Asian style. (He's Asian so I didn't blame him.) I
walked up to his bed. There was a lump in his covers and I thought he was sleeping. I
sat down, not noticing dark spots on the sheets, and pulled back the covers. I
screamed in horror when I saw his massacred body. I saw a little red gem, and I knew
it was my plush. I pulled him out from under the covers. There was a post it note that
said "I knew you had a bad relationship, but to your displeasure you will be seeing
your boyfriend pretty soon." I crumpled up the note and threw it to the floor. I took my
Tails Doll to the kitchen and got out a sharp knife from the drawer. I slashed my hard
work with the knife and threw it across the room. I ran out of my apartment and called
the cops.
One cop was asking me questions. Behind him, I saw an investigator come out with
the demonic doll in a plastic bag. It was unharmed and everything. I asked him where
he found that and he said it was in Sai's arms. The doll's eyes looked into mine and I
turned away.
He's after me now. Every time, he's close to finding me, he leave a post-it note saying
"you're next." My mother keeps asking me to come live with her, but I don't want her to
die as well. I keep moving, so I don't know when I'll submit again. I have to find a way
to kill this doll once and for all...

"Incognito" has an axe to grind and a deadline to meet...
Hello one and all. I am...well, Lets just say I'm Incognito.
I do not have a tale of fright to tell. I will not lie and say I have seen the Cursed Doll,
but what I will be truthful about is this; I will kill him. I know many of you have tried and
some have nearly gained a victory, but have lost it the process. I shall gain
vengeance for you all...and my sister.
The doll did not appear to me and when I read the site I was like "pffft, Tails is not
scary i would kick his tiny butt." Bold words I know, but my sister played Sonic Gems...
and she had went missing. The only Clue I have is what was written in blood on her
wall "Run, Run as fast as you can Little boy, your sister's soul is mine because she
played my game; Now I wait for you come save here if you wish, be a "savior" but
remember the clock is ticking --TD"
I don't know what to do! I'm at wits end. Please, if anyone, ANYONE can help me, my
address is "[email protected]."

It seems the Doll's ranks are growing larger then I imagined, as Sean is evidence of...
My name is Sean. I've tried the curse many, many times but still nothing has
happened. I one time did the curse 10 times in a week. Am I just lucky or do I not have
a good soul or is he to busy? Now I'm probably starting to sound strange but come on
-- the Tails doll is Freaken' Sweet. I wonder what he'd look like with nine tails. I can't
wait to find out. And if your wondering, Yes I'm a supporter of the tails doll. Can you
feel the sunshine?!
It all started when I was at the boardwalk with my friend. There is a local legend that if
you ride the roller coaster "Wipe Out" at night, you might see a small floating figure
bathed in orange light. If you do, it will haunt you FOREVER!!!! Well, I believed it was
the Tails Doll and I was one of those people who saw him.
I sat in the blue car -- supposedly the fastest. I saw a glowing red light. Then I saw a
figure of a small fox-like thing. It had to be the Tails Doll! After the ride was over I
asked my friend if she saw it. She thought I was crazy or something. But I swore I saw
him.
Three weeks later I was sitting at my desk and a note appeared. On it was, "Can you
feel the sunshine? Can you feel it?" It was signed, "The Tails Doll." The curse is
TRUE!!!!!!!!! Don't believe me? Well, you could be next....

Tragically, Lordlyhour has met his final hour, but not before sending us a possible
weakness of the Doll...
Hi all, this is Lordlyhour here, and I have some disturbing news to report. I only
recently discovered this site, and have been reading about the Tails Doll myth. Since
then I have suffered insomnia to the highest degree. Why, even during my brief
moments of sleep, I have retained some consciousness. Anyway, to lay my fears to
rest, I recently beat Sonic R with 100% on the Gems Collection and then proceeded to
try the tag 4 characters with Tails Doll to dispel the myth and give myself rest.
More fool, me.
The instant I beat it, the character select screen appeared, and lo and behold the
Tails Doll disappeared from "his" rightful place. Then the power went out and I soiled
myself after realizing that the curse was indeed true.
Then "he" appeared.
"He" spoke to me and said "Lordlyhour, I am disappointed with you for not trying this
earlier." I asked him why and he told me "you have gone without sleep for several days
and that damages the state of and, therefore, ruins the taste of your soul"
I (as so many others who have told their tales have also done) passed out,
or should I say I would have passed out if not for my insomnia which let me stay
semiconscious while the ordeal I witnessed played itself out.
"He" walked over to my body and touched it with his antennae and I felt a sliver of pain
pass through me he then got a knife out of the kitchen and set about carving
HIMSELF up which greatly confused me at the time.
Until it happened.
I felt an odd feeling and set about moving my head from its position slumped on my
shoulder to slumped onto my chest (which is no mean feat if you are only
semiconscious and have nearly no control of your muscles). When I managed this, I
was shocked to see that my stomach was made of some plush material which was
slowly encroaching over my real flesh from the point "his" vile jewel touched me. This
sight alone jerked me back to full consciousness. I snuck a glimpse at the Tails Doll
and saw that "he" was undergoing a similar transformation to mine except that while I
was transforming into "him", "he" was transforming into me and the wounds "he" had
inflicted on "himself" carried over to my body!
Luckily for me. "he" had his back turned to me so I grabbed a large book that was
close at hand (was it coincidence it was the bible?) and thumped "him" over the head
rendering "him" unconscious. This slowed, but did not stop, the transformation
considerably whereupon I started to write this to warn those who are dedicated to
stopping "him" NOT to fall unconscious. Take some sort of wake up drug or
something, because to absorb your soul, he must drain your body of energy by
transforming into your body so your soul will recognize the energies and not rebel. I
know this because the transformation has spread enough to let me see his memories.
Oh God, he has just woken up and the transformation is nearly complete all that’s left
is the antennae oh godohgodohgod im having trouble controlling him enough to type
oh god it complete and im not in my body im stuck in his mind ohgod please hel-
Heh, Heh ,Heh.
I have decided to post this for the mortal that wrote it because he amuses me -- trying
to escape the prison I have created in my mind for him, whilst he knows it is futile
trying to flee from the visions of the mortals whose souls I have taken that I constantly
bombard him with. I know the above post does hold a new weakness of mine not yet
mentioned BUT, this weakness will exist no longer once I have figured out how to take
the 7 purest souls for my own. I will have no weaknesses what-so-ever and then I can
eviscerate the human race from the Earth in one fell swoop.
Can you feel the sunshine?
You will soon...

Dim McGraw asks... Can You Defeat The Tails Doll?
I was walking my dog in the early morning and saw a box lying in the snow. I picked it
up and it was Sonic R. I knew about the Tails Doll. I had encountered it before. If it
weren't for my dog, I would be dead right now...
I started up my PC and played for a bit and unlocked Tails Doll. He came out of the
screen and injected me with a needle as another victim had described.... I was slowly
being turned into a Tails Doll. I was yelling for help when my good old dog came and
bit the Tails Doll. He distracted him long enough for my nephew to come and rip the
diamond off his head.
I got up and flipped off the Tails Doll. I grabbed my dad's pistol and fired... the bullet
pierced through the diamond. It turned into a human being.. it was my missing little
sister who was missing for years... I hugged her and we all had a nice meal of warm
soup... but he will return that's why we must prepare...

"Doth those that master the End die?" Our friend Kaz is learning the answer...
I am an old school Sonic fanatic. I love playing Sonic CD and Sonic R. I thought it was
a legend, but it was true. Here is my story...
Back about a year ago, I was playing Sonic R. I loved the characters like Tails Doll
and Metal Sonic. I usually played as Metal Sonic, but was feeling zesty and started
playing as Tails Doll. Something came over me and I felt the need to play a tag match
with the Tails Doll. I started zipping around the course, tagging everyone. Finally it
was me and Super Sonic. And, alas, I tagged him too.
I saw a light. It was a red light. And I heard a peculiar voice. "Doth those that master
the End die?"
I turned, but saw nothing. I wanted to talk to this character speaking through a doll.
"What is your name?" I asked. "I have no name. I have no beginning or end. I have no
soul," and with that I awoke in a circle of blood. Something was blocking the light
shining on me. It was a small body that resembled Tails.
"What do you want from me?!" I cried. "That which lies in the very essence of man.
Your soul. Your life. Your love."
"Why are you doing this?!" I shrieked
"I have no reason to be here. And yet you still persist on calling upon me." Soon after
that I fainted.
I woke up with a bright light on me. "Oh thank God he's awake!" I heard. "Why'd ya do
it, son?" a man dressed in white asked.
"Do what?"
"Why, try to... er, um... kill yourself."
I was utterly SHOCKED by this! "I didn't!" I yelled.
"But we found you in a circle made of your own blood, with a knife in you. Who else
could have done it?"
I've been attending therapy ever since. But I'm still convinced I didn't do it. I know what
I heard. And I know what I'll do. I would seek my revenge on the Tails Doll, but as he
has said, he "has no beginning or end" so I guess I'll have to steer clear of Sonic
games for a while.
I hope he doesn't come back to finish off my soul.

Ever notice that the Tails Doll's personality and diction changes from story to story?
Inferno blows the lid off this mystery at great personal cost to himself...
Hi, my name is… well, you can call me Inferno, but now my flame’s going out. I’m not
rich, and don’t have many systems, much less Sonic games. I love Sonic, he’s
awesome. I think Tails is just awesome too.
BUT NOT THE TAILS DOLL.
I’ve read probably all the stories, but I’ve got one that explains the unknown.
My parents were going out to dinner and left me and my little brother at my friend’s
house. My friend (let’s call him Chris) used to have a copy of Sonic R, 100% and
everything on his PC, but when I got there, no Sonic R.
“Where is it?” I asked. He didn’t answer. He didn’t say a word the whole night. But the
funny thing was, when I started to leave, I thought I saw a Tails Doll out of the corner
of my eye motion for him to come. I KNOW I was hallucinating there, but strangely,
Chris’ arm joint appeared to be connected by a fabric stitch. I immediately ran outside
to my parent’s car to leave.
It was midnight when I got home. When I walked inside my room, I saw something blue
and green swirling. “YoUr NeXt,” something screamed. I passed out.
The next day was Saturday, so I got up, ate breakfast, and watched a little TV. But
when I saw a Wii with a Sonic Gems Collection box beside it on the floor, I was in
shock. I didn’t even own a Wii! Taking advantage of my video game cravings, I turned
on the unexpected Wii, popped in Gems, and grabbed the Wiimote.
“Strange,” I said. ”Sonic R is the only game on this dang disc!” I was mad, but
something in my head told me to play R. I continued. “Huh? The Tails Doll is the only
playable character?” I knew all the stories about the curse, so I turned off the Wii.
The Wii didn’t shut down and the Tails Doll was selected. “Augh!” I yelled. It was the
Tails Doll Curse! “ThAt’S rIgHt.” A blue and green portal came out of the TV screen
and the Tails Doll came out! I screamed for my life! It grabbed my neck and held me
tight. “NoT sO fAsT,” it screamed. It took out something that looked like a dart and
pinned it in my arm. I yelled from the exhilarating pain and clutched my arm. It was
yellow.
Like Tails.
I ran from the TV, but the Tails Doll clung to me and said, “NoT sO fAsT. tHe
TrAnSfOrMaTiOn Is NoT cOmPlEtE.” I didn’t even want to know what that meant. I ran
for my life, but the room suddenly grew and the Tails Doll got bigger. I turned all yellow
and two things grew out of my rear. I didn’t want to believe it.
I became a Tails Doll.
He sent me through the portal. Once I went in, I saw the unthinkable. Millions of Tails
Dolls going into portals, more coming out. The Tails Doll that imprisoned me stuck the
red jewel on my head. “ThErE,” he said. ”NoW ThE TrAnSfOrMaTiOn Is pErMaNeNt
As LoNg As YoU WeAr ThIs JeWeL.” I tried to take it off, but it wouldn’t budge.
Another doll forced me into another portal. I came out in Chris’s house. He was
already a doll. He went in the portal and I got sucked in. Some Dolls assigned me to
kill some people. As soon as I got to a house, I started writing this. DON’T PLAY
SONIC R EVEN IF IT KILLS YOU OR YOU’LL KILL YOURSELF! Millions of people are
being turned into dolls daily! Why do people disappear? They were turned into dolls.
Why were the bodies never found? They became dolls!
THE ONLY SOLUTION IS FOR A HUMAN TO TAKE OFF THE JEWEL ON A DOLL’S
HEAD! PLEASE, I AM BEGGING YOU! STOP THIS CRISIS!!
Now, I’ve gotta go before the actual Tails Doll figures out I’m doing this. I’ll try to post
more before I get the urge to kill.

Kikari lost her friend and her eyesight...
I'm going to tell you how my chase started.
It was sunny, but too cold to go outside. So me and my friend Jace (the Tails Doll
might remember me / him now...) decided to play some games. We played until
sundown (it was kinda like a sleep over) and we started playing a board game. I rolled
a 666...
"The sign of the devil," Jace joked.
How wrong we were not to trust the signs. After finishing, Jace and I decided to play
Sonic R. I went outside for a bit for some fresh air. "A red moon..." I said looking up as
the earth passed between the sun and the moon. I watered the flowers in the small
patch I planted. (I'm a nature LOVER.) I went back inside and Jace wanted to play tag
as the Tails Doll in Sonic Gems.
Something held me back at that point. I had NO idea of the curse, but my mind kept
saying, "DON'T! DON'T!"
"I don't want to. If you wanna play tag though, be Super Sonic. I'll be Tails." I said. "But
I WANNA be The Tails Doll." At that moment, The room seemed quieter, darker...
more demonic. I ignored it and gave in. "Fine..." I muttered, picking up the Game Cube
controller. We played and I got tagged next to last. Super Sonic seemed to be going
faster than ever. "What's his problem?" I asked. "He don't wanna lose to me." Jace
laughed and turned a corner to make a short cut toward Super Sonic. After about 3
hours, he finally tagged him.
THAT is when the Tails Doll filled the screen. The power went out and "Can You Feel
The Sunshine" was playing on my STILL ON T.V. We took turns watching what
happened on the screen until the power came back on about 12 minutes later.
"What's going on...? I'm going to go look on the computer for the Tails Doll." I said.
That's when I found your site. I was so scared, my eyes hurt so bad, and I THOUGHT I
felt tears...Then I realized it was BLOOD... I lost all grip on reality and started throwing
things at the T.V, breaking it.
"THE HECK?!" Jace yelled at me. "Come see for yourself," I muttered with crimson
tears streaming down my cheeks. I led him toward the computer. His angry face
started turning into that of a scared child's. We both looked at each other and didn't
sleep a wink.
The next morning, I held my Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles plushie tight as I headed over
to the library. That day was normal, but I didn't get a phone call from Jace.
Next day I went over to his house and I THOUGHT I found him dead... It's confusing. I
saw his body, the writing on the wall which said "TAILSDOLL TAILSDOLL" over and
over until finally it ended in "Forever"...
Oh yeah. Jace's parents don't remember him. They say they never had a son. The
confusing thing? He's sitting next to me now, watching me write this... always watching.
He'll never leave me alone.

Dope Boy brings us a grave warning. The purest souls have nearly all been collected
-- but wait, how do these numbers add up? Perhaps that means some of the previous
souls have been reaped and reincarnated...
Hello, I would like to talk about the Tails Doll. It seems that this site is endangering
every one of its readers. You all probably know that by now, but I thought it would be a
good idea to notify everyone anyways. In the back of my mind, I adore the Tails Doll,
yet for some reason I fear him at the same time. You see, I find murder very
entertaining, however, I also find it bad. Therefore, I use fire to entertain my "lust" for
death. I do not know why I am sending this, but I would like to say one thing: this is my
story.
I was searching on Google for more info on the Tails Doll when I came across your
site. In 4 days, I had read every one of the stories and I finished today, October 10,
2008. At first, I rather liked his lust for death, but as I read more, I began to fear him
more. I will never show my fear, however, when he appears. I will not scream. I will not
show my fear. I will only try to defeat him. Yet, if he offers me a choice of death or
becoming his slave, I shall pick slave.
Wait a minute, what was that? OH SHIT, HE'S HERE, wish me luck.
Wait, he's not moving....
Ah, I see, the Tails Doll would like me to say something.
He says that he is coming for all of you. Few will be spared. He also says that I am a
purest soul for I entertain myself with fire. Ok, he is gone, he gave me some of his
powers and he will watch over me for awhile. I believe I will meet Celebaby very soon.
And as for the final pure soul, don't get caught, whatever you do. Dope Boy out.

Katsu Eclipse hopes to arm us with the greatest weapon of all...
Hello. I have many names. I am called Katsu, Eclipse, and even Katan but you, my
fellows in torment, may call me "friend."
I've been living in anonymity for many years, not actually knowing of this website. As of
most of you, I am quite a big fan of the Sonic series and only scoffed at the thought of
a curse. How wrong was I?
I guess I should start out by explaining my story like the rest of you, but I have an idea
-- Did you ever think that he might remember who you are by your stories? Tracking
you through the internet even if you are under a false name? He has the power; with
him, anything is possible. He might try to track me, too, but that is why I am not using
my own computer.
What I will explain is my email: the Feasting. It's not really that difficult to explain. The
feasting that the Tails Doll does to us is nothing more than what a succubus does to
its victims; to make himself stronger by adding legions of underlings to his army.
Pardon if I don't make that much sense, I've been reading on mythology and religion
to find out if there's any actual myth about him. Anything that might explain where he
came from. Any clue to how to destroy him. Anything... because knowledge is our
greatest weapon.
Please don't let the feasting continue. Don't feel the sunshine.

Chaosarrow gives us a disjointed story about his descent into madness. The Tails Doll
consumes souls, but he also wrecks minds...
Well, I first heard of the evil doll back sometime in March. I had been scanning videos
on YouTube for the last few hours. The usual boredom, though I was happy it was
spring break. Then I came across a video entitled “Curse of the Tails Doll.” I’d seen it
in the related videos list before. Hmmmm.
"Well, being as bored as I a,m it should be fun watching it!” I said to no one in
particular. These were the last partially sane words I would speak. I watched the video.
I spoke nothing for the next eleven minutes of my life. When the video ended, I was
twitching. I was scared; very, very scared. I stood up shakily and knocked over the
chair. My heart was pounding. My breathing was shallow. As soon as the twitching
stopped, I screamed -- it was more of a loud screech, though.
I sprinted out of my room in absolute fear to get something to protect myself. I ran into
the living room and climbed onto the couch. I jumped for one of the blades on display
mounted behind it. Instead of grabbing a battle weapon, I grabbed a small display
hook, making them all fall down. My mom wasn’t home and wouldn’t be for the next few
hours. I unsheathed the weapons for the first time in a century or more.
I dashed back to my room and dropped my two blades. There were three blue jays
dead on my floor! Inscribed on the wooden floor were the words CAN YOU FEEL THE
SUNSHINE. Another scream took the exit door from my mouth. I quickly dashed to the
kitchen to grab something to clean up the bloody jays. After cleaning up the spew of
blood and throwing the birds in the back yard, I returned to my computer. I read my e-
mails to see if the Tails Doll had tried to haunt me over the Internet.
I opened a search for “The Tails Doll” on YouTube hoping to find written and video
information. I found a few useful tips: if you do not fear him, no harm will come to you.
Worthless to me, though a very calm person may benefit from this tip. A Sonic or
Shadow plushy will neutralize him. Normal slashes from a blade won’t work, only
paralyze him. It said to look up "The Tails Doll” with Google, arm yourself with
information. I’d read the first two volumes when my mom came home.
She didn’t notice any of the damage I’d done to the house in her absence. I told her
about the Tails Doll. She laughed and said it was only a silly rumor. I looked at her
with an expression of pure evil and growled loudly. She became very scared and her
tone was very shrill when she yelled at me. When she went to her and my dad’s room,
she slammed the door. I happily walked back to my room only to find a glittering red
jewel placed on my computer desk. Well, for me, it was only a shiny, ruby-like gem.
For others, though, it’s the true meaning of evil. I thought that my mom had left me a
beautiful ruby.
(I wasn't thinking at the moment, due to my idiotic interest in anything that sparkles
and shines.)
I picked up the shining sparkly and tossed it to my pillow. I had a nasty feeling inside
of me, but I shrugged it off. It was only 7pm, so I decided to play SA2B; I picked the
level “White Jungle”. I dashed through the level in a little over three minutes and with a
total of 666 rings.
Wait.
There’s only four-hundred something rings in the level, oh crap. I looked outside. It
was dark and the moon was emitting a white-yellow glow. I heard a scream and then I
knew things had gone from bad to deadly. I ran up to where I had put the ruby and it
was gone... Shocked, I threw the pillows and plushes around on my bed. I still didn't
find it. I destroyed the entire room to find it, but it wasn't there... "Ugh... jewels don't
just vanish...." I decided to go to bed and give into the nightmare.

Clonan hand delivered this tale -- through the internet...
Hello, my name is Clonan.
I had a friend.
I don't anymore.
It was a Tuesday morning and my friend (let's call her A.B.) and I went to the game
store close to her apartment. She loved anything Sonic the Hedgehog related. She
even had a shrine to him in her apartment that included anything Sonic: plushies,
games, books, you name it. On that fateful Tuesday morning, we saw it: Sonic Gems
Collection. At the time, we were quite happy. What excited us so much was that we
couldn't get our hands on many of the consoles that the games were on (plus, the
arcade games were an added bonus.) We bought it and immediately ran to her
apartment and ran all the way up to the fourth floor. We went in and put the game in
the Gamecube and loaded it up. There were many games on there, but I barely
scrolled down when I saw it.
Sonic R.
I had heard the rumors about the Tails Doll and it scared me a little to know that if the
rumors were true, we had the means to summon the Tails Doll. My friend, A.B., was
ecstatic, though. One of the reasons she liked Sonic so much was the racing part of
the games. She too had heard the rumors, but the thought of a Sonic game that
completely focused on racing was too much for her to even think about him. I decided
to go ahead and play the game with her, even with my fears.
We played for two and a half hours and beat most of it. We unlocked the Tails Doll,
and weren't quite finished, but I was starving, since I didn't eat breakfast and it was
eleven o' clock. I decided to go get something to eat and asked A.B. if she wanted to
come. She told me that she couldn't eat now since she was so close to beating the
game.
It was the last time I saw her alive.
When I came back, I could still hear the TV but the lights were out and A.B. didn't say
"hi" (she said that even if she was about to die on a boss battle and almost was
finished with him.) I walked into the room and saw her just staring at the TV. When I
got closer, I saw that her face was white and her eyes were glazed over. I looked back
at the screen and realized that the Tails Doll was missing from the screen.
“…Can You Feel the Sunshine?…”
I heard a song over the menu music, but I couldn’t make it out so I turned up the TV
and listened closer.
“…Can you feel the sunshine…”
I felt the blood rush from my face as I heard the accursed song. I knew then that I had
to leave, without A.B. I ran to the door, but I was too late.
The Tails Doll materialized in front of the door.
“There’s nowhere to run, Clonan. You friend was doomed when you left and, now that
you’re here, you’re doomed as well! Mwahahaha!”
The Tails Doll started to move closer.
I was trapped, no where to run except within the confines of the apartment. So I ran. I
ran to the back of the apartment, trying to delay my death for as long as possible to
perhaps think of an idea to escape. I couldn’t think, though; not with the evil,
bloodthirsty Tails Doll after me.
The Tails Doll moved slowly closer and closer.
I ran behind A.B.’s Sonic shrine in an attempt to hide, although I knew quite well that it
was a futile effort. When the Tails Doll got close enough, I pelted him with everything I
could find on the shrine. Nothing worked until I threw A.B.’s prized Sonic plushie at him.
The Tails Doll froze, and dropped to the ground.
With the Tails Doll not chasing me anymore, I thought of an idea. If the Tails Doll could
materialize from a game, could it go into a computer? At the time, I was only thinking
about getting rid of it so it wouldn’t kill me and not about the havoc it could cause on
the internet. I picked up the Tails Doll and hurled him at A.B.’s computer.
He latched onto my arm.
I was pulled by the weight and strength of the Tails Doll and tumbled towards the
computer. I prepared for the worst as I hit the computer. Then I blacked out.
When I awoke, I was surprised to be alive. I studied my surroundings and realized that
I was on the desktop of A.B.’s computer. After awhile I got the hang of moving in the
computer and vowed to find and kill the Tails Doll.
I’ve been trapped in Cyberspace for nearly four years; all that time gathering strength
and knowledge for my eventual fight with the Tails Doll. That is how I stumbled across
your site. I will continue to update my progress in hunting the Tails Doll when I can.

Perhaps Fede has discovered an eerie link between the Tails Doll and the nightmares
of Olde England...
I intend to keep sending my story until it’s posted and people know the truth of my
horror. I’ll try and keep it short though.
My elvish name is Fede and that’s what you can call me. IT already knows me by that
name. I of course mean the demon we all know as the Tails Doll. My curse started a
year ago when I found your site and read the stories. That’s how it gets the ones that
never play Sonic R; by having them find out about the curse through other means. It’s
always been said that the Internet was the tool of the devil.
When I had first found out about this demon in orange plush that was somehow tied to
a video game, I told my best friend "Star" about it. She’s one of the few people other
than the Pope who would be able to battle a demon. She told me to stop reading the
stories, but I didn’t listen; I was already under the Tails Doll’s spell.
One day a few months after the curse began, my boyfriend offered to buy me a gift.
After a minute of consideration, I asked for a Tails plushie. It was only after I had said
it and after he went to buy it for me that I realized something. The desire to own a
Tails plushie came not from myself, but from somewhere OUTSIDE myself. As if
someone else wanted me to have a plush of Tails. And I had a sneaking suspicion as
to who that someone was.
Many times I caught myself wanting to listen to the songs “Can you feel the
Sunshine?” and “Living in the City” that I had downloaded. I fought the desire, finally
realizing that I was cursed. I even managed to stop reading the stories. My obsession
had stopped until the Tails plush came. It looked cute and innocent, even though one
eye was slightly higher than the other and crooked. That should have been a hint
right there that something was wrong with it, but I just thought it was the fault of
shipping. (My boyfriend had ordered it off E-bay.)
A few weeks passed uneventfully while the doll was with me. Then my mom and I went
to a video game store. And there it was; a used copy of Sonic Gems Collection. Used,
but it looked brand new. That should have been another hint that something wasn’t
right. The game was purchased and as soon as I got home, I started playing what else
but Sonic R.
The first character I unlocked after beating the game was Tails Doll. I played as him. I
didn’t unlock any more characters that night and when I went to bed IT appeared in a
dream. I was in a place that looked like Resort Island. I was holding a plush that
looked like the Tails Doll, or it might have ACTUALLY been the Tails Doll - I’m not sure
- and I was playing with it. The doll was innocent and almost cute. And I was happy in
the dream. I was holding the doll in my arms and looking into its eyes, when suddenly I
got a weird feeling. I woke up before anything could happen.
That dream should have been my last hint, yet once again I didn’t get it. Looking back
it’s all painfully obvious. Every night before I went to bed, I set up protective wards
about my room to prevent anything evil from directly entering.
It found a loop-hole. The plushie.
The Tails Doll made sure I’d get one so it could use it as a vessel to get past my
barriers. Then all it needed to do was make sure that I had the game. It seems I must
be one of the “pure souls” the demon is hunting for.
The day after my first dream with the Tails Doll in it, I set out to finish the game 100%.
I was having trouble finding all the tokens, so I went on the Internet to look up the
locations of where each token was in each area. During my research, I found the
release date of Sonic R when it originally came out back in the 90's. It was released
October, 31. Halloween. The day when spirits - both good and evil - are at their
strongest.
I started to get a little bit worried then, but I kept on playing anyway. Then I had only
one last character to unlock: Metal Knuckles. I just couldn't find the last token no
matter how hard I tried. So I got bored and decided to play Tag 4 characters. And of
course I played as the demon doll in Radical City.
All was fine at first. I had managed to tag everyone but Metal Sonic. He was never
where he was shown to be on the map. He was somehow faster than he should have
been. I even spotted him running OUTSIDE the area. He shouldn't have been able to
do that.
I figured it was a glitch and quit without finishing it. Nothing happened that night. The
next day I remembered that I had read in one of the stories that all glitches in Sonic R
revolve around the Tails Doll. I began to be afraid. That night I had another dream
with the Tails Doll in it. This time, though, it was a nightmare.
I dreamed I was in a creepy looking forest that was dying at sunset. I walked deep into
the forest trying to find the way out. I found a lake in the heart of the forest. The water
was very dark blue in colour. Suddenly the lake started to fill with blood as the sound
of anguished screams rang throughout the forest from every direction.
I turned to run and found myself back in my home. It was daytime and it was bright and
very sunny. Perhaps TOO sunny. The phone rang and I was afraid, though I didn't
know why. I went to grab the phone, but what I picked up was the Tails Doll. I tossed
the doll aside without thinking and got the phone. I checked the caller ID like I always
did, and it was an unfamiliar number and name. The name faded away and left behind
two words.
I can't remember what those words are though.
When I saw that name and number I became afraid again. I answered and my voice
shook as I spoke, "H-hello?" A creepy, demonic voice that I knew belonged to IT
answered. It answered in high olde English, "Dost thou remember when thou first
heard of the Tails Doll?" Then there was evil laughter and, though I'm no longer
certain, I think I heard music in the background.
I woke up in a cold sweat. I knew that I was in danger. The first thing that I did was
delete my save file of Sonic R. I then e-mailed Star about my nightmare.
I'll finish my story some other time. I need to go and reinforce the protective barriers
surrounding certain rooms in the house. Until next time. IF there is a next time.

Katlyn joined her friend Tekla as a servant of the doll. Here she imparts with us a little
slice of life with a side of evil...
Hello, I am Katlyn and I'm here to tell you that the potential he was talking about was
nothing, but more ways to benefit him and to harm others.
Now I can tell you one thing: my master is not one to be tampered with. I have gotten
him angry and - trust me - regretted it terribly. And yet other times, my master has
been kind, as kind as a soulless demon plush can be, and given me amazing things.
One of the more amazing things he has given me is an emerald. Not just any emerald,
a Chaos Emerald.
A white Chaos Emerald.
He also given me a room. A most glorious room, fit for royalty. A room of mirrors and
white marble columns with a four poster bed and a desk with a computer and books.
The ceiling is painted with exquisite detail. During the day the white emerald (which is
set in the middle of the ceiling and yet somehow still connected to me at the same
time) glows brilliantly like the sun. The paint is a brilliant sky blue with clouds all
around. Near the edges are cherubs playing instruments of days of old. Lyres, flutes
and harps are just a few that I can actually recognize. At night the glow of my emerald
softens to the glow of the full moon. The clouds move to the sides and the cherubs fall
asleep. The stars shine brightly; you can even see the different constellations such as
Capricorn and Pisces. It's amazing and it even changes according to the weather, for
this is what my emerald allows me to do: change. My shape, my size, and even
sometimes my abilities.
Tekla's room I cannot describe in such detail, for it takes after my master's quarters in
such that it is dark, depressing and I hate it. Though, I hate my master's room even
more, for the stench of rotting carcases is enough to make me puke.
I can tell you what I look like now, too. I am a purple mobian cat and I can change into
mobian doll-form at any moment. I have some of my master's powers in that form but
not as many as Tekla. (I hate her some times. She's all freakin black and she is
telekinetic and has an emerald. I swear, she's spoiled.) We are kinda like henchmen.
We do the deeds too big for the soul gatherers and too petty for Him.
But most of the time we're stuck wandering about the castle. I don't think Master has
complete faith in Tekla and me yet. I can't honestly say I blame him. You all know what
purest souls are like. We wish for freedom and what makes us so happy in the first
place. For some it's happiness, for others it's death, for Tekla it's intelligence, for me
it's... well... I don't know. He hasn't told me yet.
But I've heard him talk to some of the others... I don't think I'm like the other purest
souls. Whether that's a good or bad thing I don't know. But I do know that I can feel
the sunshine... And I wish the moon would come...

Josh brings us a story that has only just begun...
Hello, My name is Josh and the date is 9-21-08 and I just downloaded Sonic R off the
web yesterday. I was crazy about that game cause I am a Sonic fanatic. I was told
about the curse a long time ago so I wanted to test that. I just beat the game and
tagged SS. Now I am awaiting The Tails Doll's appearance. I hope to meet him.
Josh
P.S. May God be with you all...before he comes.
Second letter, dated 9-22-08
Hi, it's Josh again. Ever since I tagged Super Sonic, I've been having a feeling that
The Tails Doll is watching me. I do wish to meet him, but ever since I turned 10 (I'm 13
right now) I've felt that my soul is darker and more evil than anything in your stories. I
don't want to die, just meet him and talk.
Josh out
I hope he comes...
As of 10-08-2008, Josh has not written back. We hope he is safe -- or at least his soul
is...
____________________________________________________________________
SuperGamecube64 claims the Tails Doll is not dangerous if properly handled. I'd say
the bloody trail of bodies says otherwise...
I've been reading about this curse for quite a while now... I find the site very
interesting. Now, I've never owned a copy of Sonic R, or Gems Collection, although
Gems Collection is coming in the mail shortly. However, my friend owned Gems
Collection about a year ago and we played Sonic R quite a bit... I played as the Tails
Doll on occasion, totally unaware of this curse. Until recently, I've been unaffected.
My friend sent me a link to a YTMND image, featuring a bloody Tails Doll, in what
appears to be a weird cult church or something... and there was odd carnival-like
music playing in the background, that soon changes over to a heavy metal horror type
theme played to the same melody. I laughed till it hurt. I found it quite hilarious... but I
heard someone else laugh... and I only heard it in my mind...
"Think that's funny?" The voice echoed in my head. As I turned around, who else but
the Tails Doll floated behind me. I didn't know whether I should be scared or amazed. I
decided to take a risk... and greeted it with an open palm. Much to my surprise, he
shook my hand. Psychopath? Possibly, but I'm not one to judge. Evil? Maybe not....
I actually began to talk with him. About his reputation, and about the things he had
done... Eventually he said, "I like you... and I don't WANT to hurt you... but I wonder...
are you as strong as you are brave?"
He began floating slowly towards me. I found him to be an interesting fellow and I
wished no harm upon him either.... but... I collect blades of all sorts and the closest
thing in reach was my katana. It's only made of 440 stainless, so it isn't meant for
combat, but he's made of plush.... ya don't need carbon steel to fight a plush. As I
unsheathed it he chuckled a bit, almost in delight that I would fight back.
As he neared me, I spoke the words, "You're serious, huh? Heh, have it your way!" I
swung my sword horizontally, sent him into a wall and he collapsed to the floor. He
laughed manically as he floated up again.
"I see... normal methods aren't going to work. Unlike most others, you do not seem to
fear me..." he said coming at me swiftly. I'm an avid baseball fan so I readied the
sword as if it were a baseball bat, and it was a home run when he got in range... into
the same wall he went!
There was more to the match, but I feel I've dragged this tale on long enough. In the
end he muttered, "Impressive..." as slowly faded away laughing.
Tails Doll: If you can read this, drop by anytime. I'm always ready... for another match.
To all you readers: Don't fear the Tails Doll - he can smell fear. If you fear him, you will
most likely suffer a horrible fate, but if you do as I did, and simply accept his existence,
you may have quite the interesting encounter with him...
Until next time, SuperGamecube64, out...

Bloodra went searching for photographic evidence of the doll, but instead found a
nightmare...
People know me as Bloodra. Why? Because I always get hurt and I like the metallic
taste of blood. But now I must tell you how I almost got photographic evidence of the
Tails Doll.
I was always afraid of the Tails Doll and told myself it was just a made-up story for a
good scare. Or so I thought.
Three months ago, my boyfriend called me and told me he recently bought Sonic
Gems Collection. I told him not to play Sonic R and he asked me why. I told him about
the dreaded curse. I made a mistake by doing that. He is a go-getter and is stubborn
like Shadow the Hedgehog himself. He told me that the stories were a bunch of bull
and that once he unlocks Sonic R he will do the Tag battle using Tails Doll with Super
Sonic in it just to prove me wrong. I was about to beg him not to do it until the phone
died! I was terrified and waited a few seconds. The phone rang and I violently ripped
the phone from the receiver. All I heard was that horrid song: "Can you feel the
Sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
Suddenly I heard my boyfriend's laughter. He played a joke on me and teased me
about it. I faked a laugh, but I found nothing funny about it. He told me that if I
somehow had proof that the Doll existed, he wouldn't even touch Sonic Gems. I
agreed.
The past few days since then, I researched other ways in summoning the cursed
beast. I couldn't do the original summoning by playing Sonic R because I didn't own a
Saturn or Sonic Gems. I didn't want to do the bathroom summoning because I would
either go insane or faint because of the dark and suspense. So I did it my own way.
I went downstairs and got on my computer. I then went on YouTube to search for that
haunting song, "Can you fell the sunshine?" I had my iPod with me and set it on "Live
and Learn" in case I needed to repent the doll. I also stole my dad's digital camera so I
could capture proof of the demon. I turned all the lights off until the only light
remaining was the computer's. Quickly I clicked on the link to the video with "Can you
feel the sunshine?" on it. Since the page takes four seconds to load, I scurried behind
the red armchair near the wall. The song began and I turned the camera on and
waited.
Five minutes pass and still no sign of the Tails Doll. I put the video in a loop so the
song would play over and over again. I began to fall asleep until Tails Doll faded in
from nowhere. It looked at the computer and swayed back and forth as if the music
pleased it. I slowly raised the camera for the shot. I took three undeniable pictures of
the Tails Doll. I accidentally switch the setting on the camera and it made a do-Dee-
DO noise. The Tails Doll stopped swaying and then faded away. I nervously stood up
from behind the chair. I sensed evil and turned around.
Tails Doll!
For a moment everything went into slow motion. We were just staring at each other. I
looked into his pitch black glassy eyes. I looked at his red glowing gem of souls with a
wire connected to it. Finally I saw the butcher knife with blood stained from his last
victim's slaughter.
The slow motion ceased and the doll slowly floated toward me raising the knife over its
head. He talked to me in my mind. Telepathy maybe? He said, No one will know. No
one will EVER know! I reached my limit of sanity. I went crazy and threw the very
camera I used at him. He flinched, but he kept coming. I backed away and then
remembered my iPod. I smirked at Tails Doll and said in a mocking voice, "Only when
two rivals join together, will you be defeated." The doll froze and lowered his knife. He
asked, W-what did you just say? I turned my iPod on and screamed the lyrics at his
orange fluffy face, "Can you feel life, moving through your mind?~ oooo, looks like you
came back for moore!~ Yeeeah!~ Can you feel time, slipping down your spine?~
oooo, you try to try to ignoore!~ Yeaah!~"
Tails Doll cringed and twitched, Noooooooo! The Tails Doll faded away into thin air. I
kept mumbling the lyrics while turning the lights on even though he was gone. I rushed
to my camera to check for pictures. They were deleted! I never got to prove my
boyfriend that the Tails Doll exists, but I have seen him and if you don't show fear and
if you sing the song "Live and Learn" you are fine. Just to let you know, he never
unlocked Sonic R, and even if he does... I will be sure to stop him.

Barbara writes us once again, with an refreshing tale of the Tails Doll(s)...
Once upon a time there was a boy who wanted a Sonic Plushie. He would ask his
mother for it constantly, but every time she said no. Finally, the boy broke her and she
headed off to the mall to buy him the toy.
1st mistake.
The boy was anxiously awaiting his plushie. Then he heard a knock on the window. He
ignored it, thinking it was the old tree outside. He heard it more and more, growing
louder and louder.
*tap*
*Tap*
*TAP*
The boy finally went over to the window and opened the curtains.
2nd mistake.
He was frightened at who was at the window. It was the Tails Doll. But not the same
Tails Doll that we've all come to know and fear. This Tails Doll was tattered and had
bloodstains on it. Was it a rebel Tails Doll?
"They're coming! THEY'RE COMING!!" the doll screamed. The boy wanted to run
away but his pity for the doll compelled him to ask "W-w-what's wrong?"
3rd mistake.
"There are dolls! The Tails Dolls! They're coming for your soul! You have to protect
yourself! NOW!"
"How?!" The boy was desperate.
"Get in the closet! I'll drive them away. Don't come out until I say the coast is clear!"
Then, they heard a series of loud thuds.
*THUD*
*THUD*
*THUD*
"They're here! Get in now!" The boy rushed into the closet.
4th mistake.
As the boy was scared stiff in the closet, he heard the three dolls conversing. It
sounded like an otherworldly language. It continued for several minutes. Then he
heard silence.
"Open the door. It's safe," The doll said. The boy heard something in the doll's voice.
It wasn't the same voice he heard when he first heard the doll knocking on the window.
This voice was darker.
"OPEN THE DOOR NOW!"
The boy opened the door as fast as he could.
Last mistake.
His mother returned from the store with the plushie. She called out his name. No
answer. She called louder. Still no answer. She went up to his room to find that he
wasn't there. Then, she heard noises in his closet. She slowly walked over to the door.
She opened it and began screaming in sheer terror. The three tails dolls were
feasting on his entrails...
____________________________________________________________________
This is the fall of "Twilight"...
They call me Twilight. I am but a mere servant to the ultimate evil that is the Tails Doll.
Let me begin…
Last summer, my little cousin Edwin was sent to my house for a couple of months. I
was upset about it at first, because I didn’t like the idea of work and babysitting 24/7,
but eventually settled into it. I actually had a great time with him, because my brother
is never home. But, back on topic...
About a month into his trip, I was on Newgrounds looking at “Sonic Shorts collections”
1-3. They was some of the funniest shorts I’d ever seen, but I always saw one thing
that slightly disturbed me despite my childish laughter -- a doll resembling Tails. I
clicked, and watched, and shuddered…and I wanted more, so I looked it up. It was the
first time I had ever heard of the game "Sonic R." I loved it! I went on Youtube,
Google; everything I could to teach me more of the Tails Doll. I found this site, and
read the stories on here. I was scared, and actually giggled with a weird sensation
upon reading the tales of the evil creature. I believed the Curse, and sought to find a
Copy of Sonic R, with no luck.
Then on one fateful day, I stumbled across Sonic Gems collection for the Gamecube. I
quickly snatched it, and went home to play the cursed Sonic R. I was absolutely in love
with the game, quickly focusing on only one character -- the Tails Doll! All I did, the
time I played, was use him! I NEEDED TO PERFORM IT, AND NOTHING WOULD
STOP ME!!!
I beat the game 100%, And I proceeded in tag mode, easily pinning down robots with
the Tails Doll. None were left, except Super Sonic. He eluded me constantly and I
grew frustrated. Then I heard a voice in my head. It was harsh and sounded quite
demonic. It said, “Chase him…I will handle the rest…”. Confused, but determined, I
did. He ran into a wall, and got stuck. I was so happy! And I quickly ran and tried to tag
him. As I was about to get him, I felt my finger slip to the left, and missed him entirely.
Truth be told, I was scared.
The voice in my head repeated with “What are you doing?! Tag him NOW!” and
against my will, I did. NOTHING HAPPENED. I was so relieved.
Turning off my Gamecube, I slept in the dark, while my Brother slept at his friend's
house. At one point in the night, I opened my eyes and screamed, only to feel relieved
upon discovering my DVD Player on standby. I unplugged the thing.
Two event free months passed, and I never did the curse again. I noticed however,
that Tails had become my lifeline, using only him in every Sonic game I played
afterward, and downloading all the Sonic R songs for my MP3 player -- My favorite
being “Can you feel the Sunshine?”
A week ago, I was finally left all alone in my house, because my folks had gone out for
a birthday party, and I shut off all the lights. Suddenly, I felt that horrible chill crawl
down my back. I heard my favorite song, and ran to my room. I heard the door lock
itself and I tried to get out, to no effect. Then my TV turned on, and a Race from
Sonic R begain, with me as Super Sonic, with none other that the Tails Doll on Resort
Island. He looked over from in the TV and said: “Race me once more…if you win, I will
leave you to live your life…but if you lose……”
He grew silent, and I let my pride get the better of me. Plus, as Super Sonic, I could
completely own him. I said “Ok, let’s do this, you stupid toy!” I raced as fast as I could,
taking all the shortcuts! It was over in a matter of seconds.
I NEVER STOOD A CHANCE…HE DESTROYED ME.
He just appeared out of my TV, I couldn’t believe my eyes! HE WAS REAL!
“Overconfidence will now be your demise!” He yelled at me…
I put my hands up to protect myself, and I felt something sharp barely touch me…then
it stopped.
“…However, for Amusing me so, I will award you a consolation prize…a choice. Join
Me, Or Choke on your own blood!”
He took me to his lair…gave me everything I desired…power…HE GAVE ME
POWER!!! I’ve never felt this good!!! And all he asked of me in return…was to leave
copies of the cursed game in choice places…places, where anyone will find
them…and then, he will devour your soul slowly, maybe even torture you because he
loves fresh screams…and when he returns from his harvesting, he sits there, filling my
soul with malice and hatred! With pure evil, that comes from the demon doll himself!
He wants to destroy you all, and I GUARANTEE YOU…there will come a day when not
even your precious Sonic plushies will be able to save you, and you will feel the
sunshine too. It will brighten up your day, but brighten up my master‘s even
more…heh heh heh…
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

Here's a small submission from HyperJackie...
Dear readers,
The Tails Doll is a terrible thing. It's true! There are many ways to summon it or see it,
but MY tale is a strange one.
On Saturday, I went to look up the creepy doll of doom the Tails Doll, on the internet.
So then I went on youtube and humorously typed in Creepy Doll and I found a video
called "Sonic does the Creepy Doll'.
So I went on there and click on it -- but instead saw a flash of white light and the
power in the house went out. Could this be a warning from the Tails Doll to me? I hope
not.

ODog6227 thinks he's discovered a leak on our site. Who... or what could be tracking
our readers?
Well, this really bad. I now know what the purest souls are and "he" has got another.
I'm not sure who, but it had three tails instead, so me and my friend, "Pokeking386"
had already heard of the curse and we - like retards - decided to "investigate it." We
went on the Internet to find some sources leading to the curse's origin and came up
with nothing... until I got an e-mail from someone called the Survivor. At first I thought
it was a joke, until I got a second e-mail from Sega, saying that we should stop what
were doing. I sent a reply saying to stay out of my business and got a re-reply saying
I'll be sorry. This was recent, so I'm still looking to help the survivors stay alive so I
might be next. In that case, my name is "Odog6227." I live in California. So far, that is
all I can tell you. I started recently and have just now realized something........ I believe
there is a spy on this site!!!!!!!
Please, help me find the point of origin!
Odog6227@AOL. c o m.
P. S. I use my screen name to "help" protect "myself." I'm not telling my real name so I
can stay safe. It's so my friend can stay safe. He didn't believe it, he's not really caring
about it anymore. I hope he still has that Sonic doll. DON'T POST YOUR REAL NAME
ON THIS SITE, IT WILL KEEP YOU ALIVE LONGER.
Thank you......

Jared sends us a tale which ends with a very important moral...
Ok. One day my friend Tails (That's what I call him and he calls me Sonic) and I were
cleaning out his closet when he found his old Sonic R game he thought he had lost.
So after we cleaned up we played it for the rest of the week since it was summer
vacation. At the end of the week we got 100% and I downloaded and kept singing
"Can You Feel the Sunshine" cause it was really catchy. I went back to his house so
we could play it again and have fun.
We had the most fun-filled day ever. Then his parents let us and our other friend Zach
spend the night even though they had to leave the house to check on Tail's deathly ill
grandfather. I think the Tails Doll possessed them to do that, idk.
We were happy as we drank Gatorade, Redbull, and ate pizza all night long. We
started playing Sonic R and I played as Tails Doll. About 30-40 minutes later we heard
some strange noises coming from the bathroom. We are goofballs so we got our
lightsabers and went to check it out. Tails went in first and ran out with a blood-chilling
scream. I was like, "What is it, you wuss?" He pointed. Zach and I looked into the
bathroom and with an evil smile the Tails Doll emerged, saying, "DIE...DIE...DIE."
I got the crap scared out of me cause I heard rumors of Tails Doll and never believed
it until then. I hit it with my saber, closed the door, and ran along with my friend behind
me for my iPod docking station in the garage. I turned on Sonic Heroes and said to my
friends, "Come on, guys, let's beat this doll cause we're Sonic Heroes!!!" We were
like, "Yeah!!!"
He came at us and said, "Pathetic mortals. You think you can defeat me?" I said, "Yes
we can!!!" He went for me first and I grabbed his tails and slammed him into the
ground. Then he threw me into my parents' old TV in the garage. I was bleeding, but
didn't feel a thing cause of the adrenaline. He slammed my friend Tails into the floor
and Zach punched him (he's a big guy) and knocked him outside of the garage.
I got outside and kicked it into the air. It said, "You may have weakened me, but I'll be
back when I am done haunting others."
I'm still scared to this day. So don't summon it; it's stupid. Just stick to sports and
friends. Burn all of your Sonic R games.

GreenWario knows that the Tails Doll lives in the Sonic Gems Collection...
I love Sonic games and got the Sonic Gems collection for Game Cube. I started
playing the games, but I never heard of Sonic R, so I started playing it. I started
unlocking everything, but then I unlocked the Tails Doll, so I played as him.
He was not like any other character. He floated above the ground; a fluffy yellow doll
with black dark eyes and a gleaming ruby gem dangling from its head. I didn’t really
like him or how he levitated from the ground, so I stopped using him until one day, I
used him in a tagging game.
"Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
The song played in the background. When I won, I felt a strange sensation -- a
warm, damp, depressing migraine leading to an upset stomach. "Are you ready to
lose?" I turned around and froze at the sight of the Tails Doll. His eerie presence
didn't give me a chance to scream. I was sorry I ever brought the game, but I didn’t
know of the curse until it was too late. It was as if it gripped me with its mind and I was
his puppet -- on strings of fear. " LOSE YOUR SOUL!!!"
All I could do was stare at the fictional reality in front of me. While I retained my visual
perspective on the situation, I started to feel my legs again. I then said as proudly as
possible in this situation " I-I wont let you!" With a quick jolt of power, I broke free of its
deadly stare and jumped to the other side of my room, and panicking, grabbed the
closed thing and screamed an exclamatory scream. No one could hear me of course,
as my single mom was away on a business trip.
The darkness of the night loomed larger and I knew I was finished. All I could do was
squeeze my Knuckles plush toy which was the only thing I could hold on to. The Tails
Doll's eyes grew larger. The evil specter suddenly said "You Love Your Knuckles
Don't You?" I then took my Knuckles doll and said "With Pure good by my side I can
never lose. "Yeah," I thought I heard Knuckles say. In amazement I punched The Tails
Doll and he vanished from my room. I could have sworn knuckles said, "You got guts,
kid." The damp dark essence lifted from the room and peace replaced the evil -- for
now.
I then researched about Tails Doll online. I learned of the curse and I hide Sonic
gems collection in the basement, hopefully never to be found. I keep Knuckles by my
bed forevermore. It never spoke again. Who knew something I won at a carnival
would same my life?

Young Dylan is left with nothing by fear and doubt...
My name is Dylan. I woke up on a fine day - my birthday. I looked up. I saw my mum.
She had a tray. On the tray was breakfast and a box, wrapped in paper. I wouldn't
dare to touch my food yet, so I opened the box.
In it were a couple of games. They were Sonic Jam, Sonic R and also an Action
Replay for my Saturn. I played Sonic Jam 1st, then at night I played Sonic R. I was
terrible at it, so I checked my AR. It had many of cheats -- including some for Sonic
Jam and Sonic R. I picked Sonic R.
I only played with 2 cheats: "Win 1st place" and "unlock all characters." I thought I
would do tag mode as the Tails Doll after a race with my brother. Of course, because
of the cheats, I came in 1st. After that, it's all a blank.
I woke up. It said that I won on my results screen. I went downstairs. There was a
note on the fridge saying "Dylan, your mother and I are going out for dinner," so I
thought I would look up the Tails Doll on the internet and see what would come up. I
fainted after seeing the words shlumpy shlumpy slumpy fill my browser window.
When I woke up, I saw the Tails Doll staring at me with its lifeless eyes, so I ran like
mad. He grabbed my neck, but I reached for my knife and sliced the doll. It reacted
by grabbing his arm and vanishing.
Where did it go? Will I survive? Who knows.

Gavin 2000 sends us this spooky story of a mysterious Slait Lodl.
One day I heard that there was a Sonic Racing game called "Sonic R."
I was amazed that Sega finally made a Sonic racing game! Naturally, being a Sonic
fan, I went to buy Sonic R. When I got home, I noticed something a little weird on the
box. It said "purchased from Slait Lodl." I thought I heard the name somewhere... I
didn't think much of it.
A few minutes later I started playing. I was addicted after an hour or two. My mom
wanted me to stop playing for a while. I tried, but was drawn back by something. After
one week of playing, I unlocked every character. My favorite was The Tails Doll. Little
did i know of the curse!
I always played as the Tails Doll. Everything about him was enchanting. I didn't mind
that he was a doll. I especially loved the jewel hanging on his head. One day I booted
up Sonic R. The Tails Doll -- it was beckoning me!
I came closer and it said "Scrumpchy!" I jumped back and ran. I looked behind and
saw the Tails Doll hovering towards me quickly. I soon found myself against a wall. He
then arranged the words "Purchased from Slait Lodl" into "Purchased from Tails Doll".
He grabbed the Sonic R box and jammed it into my skull. He said "ArE yOu FeEliNg
ThE SuNsHiNe YeT?!?!" I woke up in my bed sweating. I saw the Sonic R box. It didn't
say anything about Slait Lodl. I got up and left the house for school. When I opened
up my locker I saw a little red jewel and those horrible eyes. The Tails Doll was in my
locker!
"Scrumpchy!"

Kane C. brings this tale from across the pond and perhaps the veil...
I know what some people think, that this so called "Curse" might be fake. After all, how
is a doll meant to come alive? How should we even know that stuff around us comes
alive when we least expect it? Well, my tale could be kinda weird.
Like every other day, I'm sitting in my room on my laptop and playing a Sonic game on
my PC. My family went out to go meet my auntie for a little bit. Seemed like hours, but
before they left they gave me a new game that used to belong to my mate from
school. Sonic R; I just call it Sonic Race instead.
Well, I almost completed the game -- took me more then two hours. Only had one
more race to finish and that was with this Tails Doll that everyone talked about. I read
the stories about other people and stuff. I just thought it was made up so I continued
to play. But then something happened. The lights in my room just started to go on and
off. I thought it was just a power outage, but it wasn't. I looked outside and saw that all
the other lights were fine, so I turned the lights off and on again. They seemed perfect.
After a few minutes, it started happening again. I was in the middle of a race with the
Tails Doll. Don't ask me why I mostly chose him. Next thing I know I hear a voice calling
out, as if someone was in the house with me. It was calling out my name. Everytime it
called my name, it was followed with something: "Come on out, I know you're here.
Come and join us." I was freaked out; had someone broken into my house? Was it a
prank just to scare me? I just ignored it, and carried on with what I was doing.
Next thing I know, it called out again. "I must be dreaming," I said to myself, shaking my
head and rubbing my eyes. Just then my PC turned itself off. "What the hell?" I called
out in shook, I tried to turned it back on but it never did. Then my lights turned off as if
someone was in the room with me, doing this stuff. I knew something must be up, but I
could have just been asleep at my desk as always. I walked out of the bedroom
looking around the side of the door but no one was there.
"Ok this isn't funny!" I shouted out. I must have been sleeping but I couldn't tell so I
walked into the bathroom, shut the door behind me and turned the taps on. After it
was full, I started throwing water on my face. I didn't care if my clothes got wet. I look
up at the mirror and saw that the Tails Doll; the same one from my game. I turned
around in shock, expecting to see him, but I was all alone. I looked back at the mirror
and it was just me. I must have been awake if the water didn't rouse me.
I walked to the door and opened it, when I heard that same voice, "Come and join us,
you must be that pure. Come and be another one." I was shaking with fear, I didn't
move. I don't know who this guy was; it must have been some kinda joke. "This isn't
funny anymore! You had your laugh" I said, almost speechless. I heard a loud bang
from upstairs (I have a 3 story home, I was on the 2nd floor) and then I heard the
same voice except it seemed softer, not like the ones I been hearing. It was coming
from downstairs.
I didn't know which was safer: downstairs, upstairs or my own room. In the end, I went
downstairs. Someone must be in the house with me, as the T.V was on, playing a
song I only heard once: "Can you feel the sunshine?" Just then their was another
bang, but this one seemed closer. I turned around and looked at the stairs. I could
hear something bashing against them. I couldn't see since the stairs were on the side
wall in the hall, but I was in the living room. Suddenly, something fell off the stairs. I
could barely see what it was.
My eyes widened in shock to see a small Tails Doll hiding off to the side of the stairs. I
thought I saw something move in the room with me, so I turned around. It turned out to
be just a shadow. I turned back to see the Tails Doll. To my surprise, it was gone.
"You have to be pure, come and join me." That same voice, the same tone, the same
sound. Over and over again, as if he was mocking me, pretending I was another one
of those people. This time there was another sound, but it was something walking
down the stairs. I didn't want to find out so I closed the door. I moved over to the round
dining table and started to push it with everything I had in me to block the door.
After what seemed to me like hours of pushing, I finally blocked the door, stopping any
thing from coming in. I watched in shock as something was moving the handle up and
down. I knew it must be that person. I tried to look in the keyhole, but something must
of been blocking it from his side. I could only see some orange fur and the blackness
of his shadow. "Please open the door. I just want to be your friend."
I just stepped back "Yeah right!" I shouted back. "Please? I only want a friend, a new
friend." I didn't reply that time. Trying to confuse me he was, as if I wasn't that smart.
"Okay then, have it your way." His voice changed, into a deeper, more serious tone.
"I'm gonna give you to the count of 10 to open this door before I break it open." He
must of been faking. But I heard him counting down "10...9...8...." Every second he
ticked down was as if I were just waiting for the firing squad. "3...2...1."
I knew he stopped, but after that it was just silence, nothing. But I could still hear him.
Just then a orange paw burst through the door. His paw was hanging as if it was hurt
or dead, clawing at the door. He took his paw out and must have looked into the hole
because I heard him say, "Ah, there you are." I couldn't believe it for a second. All this
time, I thought this curse was actually fake, when it was real. There was crack, as he
thrust another paw through the door, trying to get in. "I gave you a chance," he said in
one of them rude, angry tones.
"Just go ahead! As if I would join you, I know you won't kill me!" I said smiling at my
own remark. That must have really angered him, because he rammed the door,
pushing the table out of its place and almost sending it flying at me. I tried to dodge it,
but it hit against my side almost breaking in the process. There he stood, that damn
doll with the same red thing above his head. He hovered into the room. I took a step
back and made eye contact with him. "Hold it" I said. He stopped.
I didn't know what to do, run? Attack him? Beg? What was there for me to do? "What
do you want anyway?" I asked him, trying to keep my cool. "Why, I want you. I need
another slave and another pure one, so I came hunting for you." I thought he would
say that. "I ain't going anywhere with you," I said. I tried to run past him, but he
blocked the door and punched me in the face, almost sending me flying backwards.
"Oh, but you don't have a choice."
I was angry with this so I returned the blow, punching him in the face as well. He didn't
take it kindly and scratched me along my arm. Some blood dripped from it onto the
floor as I grabbed hold of it. "Come now, you don't want to die do you?" he asked me.
"Any where, expect your place will be great thanks" I said. I rushed him. I kept on
coming at him, punching him, kicking him, but hardly anything worked. He just hovered
there, scratching and punching me back.
After 2 minutes, he already beat me. I fell to the floor, mostly bloody and hurt. I was
expecting him to kill me, as he does to every other person who gets in his way, but
instead he grabbed my hair and pulled my face up until he made eye contact. "You
got nice eyes, maybe you are a pure soul," he said, letting go and bashing my head
against the floor.
After that I blacked out. Next thing I know I'm in a room, but it wasn't the same one I
had been in. I got up from the floor and looked at my clothes. They still had the same
blood stains and water as before, but the wounds I got from him were gone. I looked
around and saw him standing... well, not standing but hovering. "Since you seem to be
pure, I'm gonna let you live, but I can't let you go."
He then disappeared, shutting the door behind him. I went over to the door and tried
to open it but it was locked. Any thing can be possible; if he's real, what else could be
real? What other curses could come true? Will I get away, or will I go crazy and die
from this doll? Only time will tell. But I ain't gonna let some lifeless doll take over my
life. We will see who has control over whom soon.
Sorry if it's long, but very soon, he will be the one who finds out how pure a person
can be.

Nerdman has a secret savior. If only we all were that lucky....
A story of a curse. A site dedicated to the Tails Doll. The videos of "proof" on
Youtube...
I didn't believe them. Until I bought the Sonic Gems Collection -- My name is
Nerdman, and this is my tale.
Three nights ago, I was searching for a Miles "Tails" Prower themed screen saver
when I discovered stories of a horrid creature that is neither living nor dead. The
stories of the Tails Doll. I had read many of them, thinking they were amazing. Of
course, I didn't believe any of them. People dying from a curse that originates from a
video game? Bah! I searched Youtube for sightings of the Tails Doll, and some were
actually believable. As I watched the movies, I felt a chill up my spine. I had heard
odd clicking noises behind me; I thought it was my cats playing. I looked behind and
saw nothing. It was about midnight when I watched and read these stories. Now, I
may not be a coward... but I am far from the bravest of people.
The next day, I decided to play tricks on my mom. After all, I wanted the Sonic R game.
I told her the stories of the curse. She did not much believe them either. We laughed
as I made up my own story to tell to her, but that story was simple and inspired by
others, not truly my own work. I went to GameStop that day and bought Sonic Gems
Collection, looking forward to playing all the games. Of course, the game was badly
scratched, but it was the last one they had. I took it home and intended on returning it
for a refund or possibly another copy the next day. I immediately put the game into
my brother's Gamecube and went to Sonic R. The game would not start the first few
times, but it worked eventually. The game was exciting, but short; I finished it within
about three hours. The first character I unlocked was MechaKnuckles, then Super
Sonic. I used the two of them to unlock Metal Sonic, and finally, the Tails Doll.
I wanted to test the curse, so I played as the Tails Doll on every stage. I didn't realize
how much of a mistake that was. I continued to play Sonic R until it was about time for
dinner (which is just about when I get hungry). When I got back, I decided to try to
play Sonic the Fighters, but the game would not load at all... It seemed the CD was
far too damaged for the game. Instead I chose to play Sonic CD until I got bored, then
I went back to Sonic R. I played using mostly the Tails Doll until my brother returned
from work.
When he got home that night, we watched some shows, then went on to bed. Of
course, I didn't believe anything would happen. After all, the curse is just a story. As I
tried to sleep, I noticed what looked like a light shining from the other side of the
room. It would seemed to shine for the entire night. My brother would come and go
into the room as he was making his lunch for work the next day. My oldest brother
would go into his room, which is attached to ours by a window. Late in the night, my
brother got up to go into the bathroom. When I heard the door open once again, I
would use it for myself.
When I returned to my bed, just as I covered myself with a blanket, I heard a sinister
childish voice say "Now it's my turn." I looked up to see a red light bounce into the
bathroom. I continued to stare at the door, until it opened once again. My mother
came out of it. She looked down at me looking at her and seemed as though she was
smiling at me in a way I had never seen her smile before. She left the room, and I
closed my eyes thinking it was my imagination. After all, it wasn't very clear as I didn't
have my glasses on.
I opened my eyes again minutes later and I could see the room as if those glass
circles were over my eyes. I looked around the room to see the shining light once
again; it was bright and white. It could not be related to the curse. As I looked back to
the wall on the other side of me, I saw a silhouette of a figure hanging in the shadows.
The silhouette of the Tails Doll! I immediately turned to the other side, scanning the
wall for anything out of place. The only thing I saw was that light. I could hear my
brother moving around from the bunk under mine. Laughing to myself, I began to sing
"Can you feel the Sunshine" in my head. As I progressed in the song, my heart began
to hurt. Sharp pains had arrived all over my body. I heard what I thought was a voice
come from my oldest brother's computer; I couldn't make out what it said. My heart
hurt more and more. I stopped thinking of the Sunshine and started thinking of
"Super Sonic Racing" and the pain in my heart subsided. I slipped into sleep soon
after and the song of the Golden Hero faded. The song related to the Curse would
return. I would hear words coming from my brother's computer again. My brother
didn't seem to hear them... The words however echoed in my head as these ones
were clear. "T.D."
My oldest brother, still awake, began to laugh in a way I had never heard him laugh.
Whether he was just trying to laugh quietly as to not wake the two of us sleeping or if
he was not himself, I still do not know. I would hear this laugh throughout the night. I
began to think of more songs that would have to do with the Shining Hedgehog, such
as "Open your Heart" and "Live and Learn". And the noises would stop, my heart
would not feel pain, but my brother would continue to laugh. As I thought of these
songs, the bright white light would continue to grow across the wall.
I witnessed the Tails Doll hovering over my bed the next time I woke up; the red light
shining menacingly over his head. I blinked and he was gone. I looked to the wall, and
the white light was gone. I began once again trying to sleep, thinking of the Spiked
Golden Hero as I slipped into unconsciousness. I woke up as my older brother was
leaving for work. I thought of the events that night as a weird dream, from reading
such tales. As I reached for the door to leave my room, it turned dark, and for a split
second, I could see bright red writing on the door.
You are safe for now, but I will return...
T.D.
That is when I realized, it was not just a dream. I had survived the night, only by luck...
or someone protecting me... It was then that I found that the shining light on the wall
was not the curse... it was my protection. As the Tails Doll had come for my soul,
Super Sonic had been there to stop it.

This cryptic call comes from someone named Bosshank...
Yesterday, I played the cursed songs "Living in the City" and "Can you Feel the
Sunshine" with my friends in my room, trying to call him. He has yet to show up. Tails
Doll, if you're reading this, I'm willing to be part of your Dark Army.
I'll keep everyone informed. See you later.

Karie is a little a little girl, but age matters not to the Tails Doll...
I was about nine years old when I saw the Tails Doll.
It was a two-part haunting. Only one week between the times. First time was when I
was playing ( Sonic R ). I had already beat it but I loved playing it. I like Tails a lot so I
use him a lot. One day I was playing the game and the Sonic toys I had on my shelf
fell down -- Well, all except the Tails Doll I had. The weird thing is that he’s in the front,
so he should have fallen first!
I didn’t think anything of it at the time. I got off my bed put the toys on my desk and
turned back to my bed and sat back down.
I went back to playing the game and it wouldn't stop playing the song “Can you feel
the sunshine?” Well, I thought it was busted so I called my brother who’s room is right
next to mine. He came in and asked me ”Did you put your Tails Doll in my room?”
I said” no -- wait.” I looked up at the shelf, and noticed that my Doll was gone! My
brother put the toy in my hands and went back in his room. I looked at the toy. I
heard my brother yelling ”Stop singing!” I sat there, confused. I wasn't singing.
Then my brother slammed the door open and said “Stop it! You're so loud! “ I looked
at him and said “I’m not singing!” He looked at me and his eyes got wide and said
“You weren't singing "Can you Feel the Sunshine?!”
I said ”No, but the game I was playing just a...” I looked at the game and the screen
had The Tails Doll on it! No music was playing. My brother ran back in to his room and
slammed the door! I looked back the screen and the doll was gone! I looked at my
doll and I heard the creak of the springs in my bed!
I looked over at the side of my bed. The Tails Doll was on it, staring at me! I started
crying and said “Why are you here?!” I didn't know what was going on...
I didn’t know about the curse at the time! He stood up and walked to me and said
“I like your room...and I like your soul too! “ I screamed and my door busted open! My
brother said “ What's wrong?” He looked at me and I had blood all over my shirt and
doll. I had a big cut on my stomach!!! I had cloth and stuffing in it! I hurt so bad!
The next time, he got my friends for not believing in him...
____________________________________________________________________
This little tale comes from Okibi-chan, who is the newest member of the Doll's ranks...
Call me Okibi-chan. I'm here to tell my tale that ended up in a shower of blood.
My name was Nishashima Akira (In case you don't know, The last name is first, and
the first name is last), and I am 15 years old. I was born with heterochromia -- I had
one grey eye and one blue. People usually made fun of me and my own parents
couldn't even look me in the face. The only people who didn't treat me abnormally
were my two cousins, Michelle and Sora, and my older step-brother Edward. One day
I was on a Sonic forum when I found this site and I read all of the stories, and I
believed. My youngest cousin, Michelle, said one of her friends was killed from the
curse. But the two oldest, Sora and Ed, called it fake, saying "Its just a bunch of
superstitious crap". I desperately wanted to try it, so I ordered Sonic Gems Collection
off of the internet for 20 dollars and the day I got it I completed it with 100% in a few
hours.
One week later I invited my cousins over to try the curse. I let Ed play it because he
was better playing Resort Island than me. He caught Egg Robo first. Metal Knuckles
and Metal Sonic were both caught within the first 2 minutes. Super Sonic evaded him
to the point where he wasn't even following the game's code. Super Sonic warped to
the other side of the map past the boundaries of the level, and he didn't move from
there. Me and Michelle were starting to get really scared. Sora was trying to
rationalize what she just saw. "I-its a glitch, yeah a glitch." she said. We cut off the
Gamecube, but the game was still playing. All of the doors locked instantly,
and we all screamed. Tails Doll was playing by himself and he eventually escaped the
level boundaries. He went straight for Super Sonic, and he wasn't moving.
We tried everything to cut the TV off. The power button didn't work. Pulling the plug
didn't either. I got the heaviest thing in the room, a metal folding chair, and we
rammed it against the T.V. The glass shattered but the game was still playing. We
could still hear the music, "Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
After 20 seconds the music stopped, and the results page music played. The power
went out in the room. When it came on though we saw something I could have gone
through my whole life without seeing -- the Tails Doll was hovering right above the pile
of glass from the T.V.
A more demonic version of "Can you feel the sunshine" started to play. Michelle
started to cry -- after all she was 7. His jewel started to glow and the glass floated into
the air. "You two thought I was fake, didn't you." He said. He had no mouth, but we
could hear him. "If I am fake then so is this!" The shards of glass fired straight
towards Sora and Ed, but they ducked to avoid it. I knocked over the entertainment
center that the T.V. was on and it landed on top of the demented marionette. "Is it
gone?" I said. A red glow was emitted from the center of the room and he was
"reborn". "C'mon. Did you really think that you can kill me?! I am a transcendent
deity!" He pulled his signature butcher knife and started swinging. He stabbed
Ed through the shoulder. Blood poured out of his arm. The doll laughed. He pulled
his knife and repeatedly stabbed him until he collapsed. I presumed him dead. Sora
started crying and Michelle couldn't look at him so she closed her eyes. He chanted
some spell and the shards of glass rose again and went straight through me. I
screamed and fell down to the floor. I closed my eyes when he was attacking Michelle
and Sora, because I didn't want to see them get hurt, although their screams still
haunt me to this day.
I passed out from loss of blood and when I came to, I was in a hospital with severe
cuts and burns, and a letter on a desk near my bed with my name on it. I opened the
letter and I read it.
"I think you and your cousins will be of use to me at a later date, but don't worry about
your step-brother. Lets just say I threw him a bone -- literally. Bwahahahahaha!
Signed, The Tails Doll.
P.s. Look out your window when you have a chance."
I called the nurse to take me to the window because I couldn't move very well. The
sign said,"Resort Island Hospital: Can you feel the Sunshine?" I asked the nurse
about the sign and she said that I was at Resort Island, a new island off the coast of
California, and I was rushed there with two other people from our house for "special"
medical treatment due to what happened. And that I was one of the Doll's three new
servants.
One of his other servants took us to my house but when we got there it had police
tape all around it. The policeman told us that a homicidal, escaped mental patient
broke in and slaughtered everyone. They found six dead bodies. Mine, Edward's,
Michelle's, Sora's, and my parents'. I looked at my hand and there were letters
marked onto my left hand. TD. My finger prints were gone too. Michelle's and Sora's
were just the same.
The servant told us to get into the limo, and we didn't want to anger him so we did. He
handed me another letter and drove off. "Dear Akira Nishashima (English version),
Your anger will do more than kill your parents, just watch out the window. TD" I
looked out the window and I saw my school. An explosion occurred and blood rained
down from the sky. I watched in horror as I couldn't look away. Sora watched as she
covered Michelle's eyes while she was crying, and Michelle was also because she
knew what was happening. I wanted to get payback -- but nothing like this.
I found my step-brother; he was transformed into one of the Tails Dogs. And now we
have to serve the Tails Doll, or else. I also gave myself a new name based on
another name I was given at birth.
Okibi no Urufu (Blazing Heat [Scorch] the Wolf).

This LONG tale cames from Camron, who claims to have faced down the doll with is
pack of pals...
I have never been a fan of racing games, nor am I any good at them. That is why I
never believed in this Blasted “Tails Doll curse”. That is not to say I don’t believe in
the supernatural though; on the contrary, I have had more experience with what
others believe to be ‘unnatural’. From meetings with ‘ghosts’ to much stranger things.
For instance, the first ghost I met led me to a secret chamber in some nearby ruins.
What I found there was a sword, I now know that sword “The Zanetsuken” (In fact, I
named the main character in my up-coming book after it. Cool, huh?)
But enough rambling-that-will-probably-make-you-not-believe-me. On with my tale.
It was a sunny day a few weeks ago. Right at the start of the summer holidays, if I’m
not mistaken. I was taking the usual half-hour walk to my friends house when the
music I was listening to (it was either a song form one of the Pokémon movies, or a
Crush40 title) on my headphones stopped playing, some weird sort of static began
playing as a strange energy radiated all around me. I thought I made out the words
“peel” and “Sunlight” or something; but I merely took it in stride, thinking the Spirits
where trying to tell me something. The music resumed after a few moments.
I took a few steps forward and my music stopped again, but instead of static my phone
began to vibrate and my ringtone (Live and Learn, of course) began to play. I
answered it by sliding the phone outwards (I loved my slidy phone) and my friend's
voice came through my headphones “Yo Camron, where are ya? You’re takin’ ages” it
was Dean (the person I was going to visit) “oh soz about that, me mam mad me clean
me room before I could come over” I answered, still bitter at how mothers always
seemed to do that. “Oh bummer, Anyway; guess what I finally completed...?” he
sounded excited. “uhhh... Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: explorers ‘o’ darkness?” (We
where both Pokémon fans.) “Naah... it’ll take us BOTH a while yet. No, I’ve completed
Sonic R.” My heart stopped. My instincts immediately told me to run to my friends’
house, but then I merely thought it was coincidence. I mean, the Tails Doll can’t
REALLY exist. Can it?
I darted down the street, taking full advantage of its steep sloped design, and the fact
that my legs are muscley enough for fast running (fastest in my school). I reached the
top of my friends’ street in a matter of minutes, again feeling that strange energy. I slid
my phone open and called my friend Christopher.
He answered “Hello, Robs’ red meat rode kill, you kill ‘em and we grill ‘em,” his usual
opening line. “Yo Chris, something’s happenin' down Deans' again. Can you go to me
house and get the “Gift”? I asked urgently. “How many times do I have to tell ye? No-
one can hear these fuggin phone calls, call it by its name!” He was slightly annoyed,
but he was mostly mocking. “Just go and get it, and hurry up. We don’t have much
time.” I hung up and immediately began inner monologing. “If what I thinks’ gonna
happen, then we are totally screwed -- I’ve heard this thing can’t be killed. That it’s not
normal.” I suddenly felt the same surge of energy that had helped me become who I
am... I felt my confidence boost to its usual place in these situations “Then again; I’m
not exactly normal, either.” My thoughts where suddenly disturbed by a strange
piercing screech, the strange energy intensified tenfold then resonated as a shimmer
that was almost un-detectible passed by me. “Shit, it’s here, I know it. Christopher
better hurry up. Dean won’t be able to hold it off for long”.
Two minutes of agonising waiting passed by when I finally heard hurried footsteps
approach. “What the HELL was that? I nearly shit meself when it passed uz”
Christopher demanded, obviously referring to the shimmer. “You’re not gonna believe
this. Ever heard of ‘the curse of the Tails Doll’?”. “D’ye think I’m stupid? Of course I
have... lemme guess. This is it?” he sarcastically stated. “Yep,” I answered; taking the
case Christopher was holding and removing the strangely-shaped sword that was in
there. It was an ancient Falcata. “Do you always have to use that...? I mean, we live in
Peterlee for fugs sake. It’s not like there’s crime...and how come we are the only ones
that have strange stuff happen to us?” He was asking a lot of questions. “Well, I have
to use these. I may be good at Martial arts, but you’ve seen what I can do with this. As
for the strange stuff, well we DO usually look for it to be fair,” I replied with a grin. “And
why do you always act like that sword’s special?” Ok, he was being daft now. “Let’s
just go, you’ve wasted a full minute,” we hurried to Dean’s house.
We got to the door to find it was not damaged or anything. Then again; Dean lived in
a two-story house and his room was actually an attic conversion. So he kinda lived on
his own level. We where just about to knock when there was a loud crash and a
scream of pain from Dean. We bolted inside with Christopher behind me, brandishing
his favourite knife. I knew what had happened. Dean owned a lot of consoles (being
an only child to two working parents does that to you) so to keep them in the same
place, he had an overlarge T.V stand with a reasonably-sized T.V to match. The only
drawback was -- it was badly balanced and one single knock would topple it. But what
we heard wasn’t it toppling over; it was someone crashing into it.
We finally got to the top of the stairs by his room, quiet, as to not alert anyone to our
presence. I heard deep, rasping breaths. I knew the Tails Doll didn’t need to breathe,
so he was probably trying to scare Dean by doing this. I peeked around the corner to
see Dean slumped on the floor attempting to get up. He was clutching his side with an
obviously broken arm and the side of his face was bleeding badly. What next came
into view sent a shockwave of terror AND horror down my spine. I thought this battle
would be winnable; after all, we where facing a plush-sized doll. What I saw hovering
mournfully toward Dean was no plush-sized Tails Doll, but a fully human-sized Monster.
It was by no means the ‘Ugly’ kind of evil looking. In fact, it resembled my beloved Tails
plushie that I had at home. Only, the way that it hovered and the eerie glow of its
control crystal told me that I was truly looking at Evil. It reached Dean and raised its
arm and bent to touch his forehead in order to manually absorb his soul. Dean
suddenly pivoted on the spot and kicked forward managing to both knock the doll
back, but also stand up in the process. It looked like Dean hadn’t forgotten the
training that my father had put us all through. In fact, it looked as though Dean could
actually turn this thing around. But all the rising hope faded when Tails Doll began to
transform into a shadow on the wall, preparing to strike Dean when it was fully formed.
I turned and signaled to Christopher to strike when I gave the sign. Unlike most who
faced this Evil bastard, I was not alone. I was about to come from my hiding place
when I again turned to Chris. I signalled for him to call Ben, (the only one of us who
actually knew about this stuff) and for him to give me his knife. He handed it to me and
silently slid down the stairs.
I turned back to Dean and to my horror, the Doll was about to lunge at him. There was
no time to think, I had to act. I rushed from my hiding place and yelled for Dean to
duck. His reflexes kicked in just in the nick of time and he just barely dodged a well-
thrown combat knife that met its target in the shoulder and pinned the Cursed Doll to
the wall. “Be careful, this thing’s strong. It threw me all the way across the room with
one hand, and it broke my arm like it was nothing,” Dean said hurriedly. We both
retreated near the Destroyed T.V and stand on the other side of the room. “I guess
the tales are true huh? Well, go and get your spear dean, I think you might be able to
use it with one hand?” I was more asking then telling. “Yeah, I’m lucky it was this arm --
if it had been my right; I would’ve been screwed” He rushed out of the room and made
his way to his family's weapons room (His grandfather who lived with them collected
weaponry and considered Dean's prized spear as just another weapon).
The doll next did something I never knew it could do; rather than take the knife out of
its shoulder, it simply ‘absorbed’ the knife itself. “Whoa, you’re just FULL of surprises,
aren’t ya? And I bet Darkness too," I said. It stared into my eyes with its own; looking
into them was like staring into an abyss. I felt some kind of energy connect my head
as the control crystal on its head glowed brighter. Without warning a voice began to
speak within my head, its voice was as cold and hate-filled as Satan himself. “You are
my next victim?” I thought I detected a hint of sarcasm in its voice...if that’s what you
could call it “Do you think that puny rod of sharpened metal could stop me?” There
was definitely sarcasm in that last tone. “Well shit, I guess I’ll have to try” I said with a
slight grin. I lunged forward with my blade held outward beside me. I brought it upward
when I reached the Doll but it simply phased through the blade somehow. It grabbed
hold of my neck with both of its small hand-like things and all of my energy simply
Drained. The Doll threw me across the room and I collided painfully with the wall. I
looked up to see it rushing toward me, it had moved the combat knife inside of it and it
was presently sticking out of its hand. I could not Believe it...Barely five minutes had
passed and I was about to get lunged at by a psychotic doll already.
The doll was about 1 meter away and about to strike when the brunt of a spear struck
it on the chest and forced it back. It was Dean; “This is for the broken arm” He struck it
on the head and sent it into the opposite wall. What was he doing...? There was a
sharp blade on the other end, yet he was using the- I suddenly realised... so many
people had probably tried to slash that Doll that he probably Built up immunity or
figured out how to prevent sharp objects from touching it. Dean ran up to the doll and
slammed it in the face with the spear end, the doll screeched in pain then swung its
arm up and caught the spear as Dean swung for a second strike. The doll spun the
spear and Dean was forced to let go or the sharp point would mince him.
The doll got up and gripped the spear and copied Dean's actions, first swinging for his
chest; then his head. Dean dodged the first blow, but not the second and was sent
into the wall behind him. He slumped to the floor unconscious. I remembered the
words my mentor taught all of us during the training. “No matter what happens, even if
you are facing a tough bully; all you need is a little focus” I wish he had thought that
maybe we weren’t going to be fighting just bullies and drunken teens.
I crept behind the doll and began to focus... channeling my adrenaline so I could do
this. I got into position and dived toward the doll with my sword raised above my head.
The Doll heard me just in time and tried to move out the way, but my sword caught the
side of his arm and ripped it all the way down. The doll hovered to the other side of
the room quickly and screeched so loud and so high-pitched that I thought my ear
drums would burst. A hammer was thrown thought the entrance of the room and
landed squarely in the middle of the Dolls head.
Ben entered the room looking smug “Oh yeah, I’m just THAT awesome!” He was
always THAT cocky too. ”About time you showed up. You only live three streets away
for fugs sake” I yelled. “What? I couldn’t find my hammer,” he replied. “Well, now
what? Don’t you know how to get rid of this thing?” I yelled back. “Ok, there’s only one
thing people say the doll fears, that is pictures of sonic and stuff like that. I was with
dean at Gamestation the other day and he bought a Sonic Doll. You look under the
bed and I’ll distract this doll.” He was very good with urban legends. I jumped next to
Deans’ miraculously still tidy bed and began to search for the bag as Ben ran up to
the Tails Doll that was finally getting up. When he reached it he hit it with a very
powerful uppercut, making it smack off the low-hanging ceiling.
I pulled countless trinkets from under the bed, from anime figures to old toy guns.
There was a lot of stuff there. I reached under and seized something fluffy, I pulled it
out to find it was a Sonic doll. My heart lept. When I looked round, Tails Doll had Ben
by the throat and was about to cut with his knife. “BEN QUICKLY, RIP ITS ARM OFF” I
yelled commandingly. He complied and grabbed the knife-wielding arm and yanked
hard, ripping it off as I got behind the doll and shoved the Sonic doll into the socket as
hard as I could. The Doll looked at what I had shoved into its socket and immediately
let Ben go. It screeched loudly and immediately vanished. It was quite depressing how
it went, really. I had hoped for at least some words of revenge, but no such luck.
And that is my tale. Dean’s arm wasn’t broken after all, as we found out when he
woke up, merely just hurt. His face was patched up by Ben who is a qualified first-aider
since he goes to the army cadets. We tidied up the room to find the T.V was ok, but
the Sonic R and console had been crushed. When Dean's parents got home, we
merely said that the T.V stand had fallen on Dean and made him bleed. Christopher
had apparently spent all this time sharpening a knife and ran into Dean’s room like a
maniac, still thinking the Doll was there.
About the spear –and-sword using: I and my friends enjoy sparring with each other.
Using wooden representatives of our favourite weapons. Dean likes using spears, Ben
likes using Hammers, I like swords and Christopher likes using smaller bladed
weapons. I know most of this sounds hardly-believable, but it is my reality. And I enjoy
it immensely.

MoonClaw77 had a creepy encounter after reading this site...
My name is MoonClaw77. I've experienced the Tails Doll curse in a strange way.
When I read your site, I was a huge skepticm but some of the stories gave me a good
spook. That afternoon I thought nothing about it, but then when night came, it was a
whole different story. Just to tell you, I never played Sonic R, the Gem Collection,
written any fanfics or drew comics of any sort to provoke the curse.
That night, I didn't sleep for two hours because I sensed he was close...really,
REALLY close. But I half-convinced myself that it wasn't a real curse and then finally
slept.
But then I dreamed.
I was in someplace like SSB, but the background was all black but I could feel solid
ground under my feet. I heard squeaking that sounded like a mouse or rat, but I
ignored it. Then, someone screamed, "TAILS DOLL!!!" and I whipped around to see
my friends laughing and kicking a plushie around. I couldn't make it out....until I saw a
single crimson gem dangling in the air.
I shocked myself awake from sheer terror, and saw something attempting to
materialize over my bed. Now I was shaking so hard that my bed was rattling violently.
It had a cord, and a butcher knife, covered in liquid crimson....blood, and lots of it.
However, something was holding the deranged doll back...
A seal maybe?....

Bored00900 learns that you must be careful what you wish for, and what you spend
$20 on...
I don't have much time to explain -- it cant stay tied up forever....
My name is Jack and yesterday, my friend Mike sleep over. He is in love with Sega's
Sonic. In fact, his room is filled with Sonic plushies, posters, comics, DVD's, and what
ever had Sonic face on it. So anyway, we were crazy at the sleep over. My mom
couldn't take us screaming and yelling, so she gave us $20 and sent us to the mall. Of
course, Mike being a video game lover, he dragged me into the GameStop there. It
took him only a minute to see that they had a used Sonic Gems Collection there for
$15. We bought it, thinking that it would be fun. Our mistake.
We walk back home and we agreed to play Sonic R first, because it was 2 player, and
he hated fighters (Sonic the Fighters). We put it in my Gamecube and played it for 3
hours. He always beat me in the game. It took us only 47 minutes to unlock the Tails
Doll. I decided to play as the Tails Doll, because I wanted to see if I could finally beat
him. Turns out --no. I lost.
I got really mad because I could not stand hearing him brag about how good he was.
We looked at the time and saw it was 10:10pm. I heard if you make a wish at 10:10, it
comes true. I was still mad at him, so I wished he would die. I know, that was mean of
me, but after hearing "I'M THE BEST AT THIS GAME!!! " for 3 hours, you would of too.
Then, all of a sudden, the lights went out.
I called to my mom, but there was no answer. She must have gone out, I thought. I
went to go check if anyone else's power went out on my block, and I told Mike to stay
in the TV room. Everyone's power was still on! I went back to tell him that it was only
our power, but when I got to the TV room, my wish came true. Mike had been killed!
His head was all on the other side of the room, and he had slashes all over his back.
The room was covered in blood. I began to weep and said I was sorry for wishing for
this to happen. Then i heard someone singing "can you feel the sunshine..." I turned
around and saw a blood covered Tails Doll -- the very same one that was on Sonic R!
I backed up with fear away from the doll. "heeeeeeelllllooo..." the doll said. "Did you do
this to my friend?" I said to the doll. The doll smiled and said "Yeeeesssssss. Likkkke
you wisssssshhhhed. Now I Have To kiiiiillllll youuuu!" "Why?" I said "Why do you have
to kill me?"
"Because that, is myyyyyyy wiiiissshhh...."
I ran. Fast. Into the kitchen. I tried to go through the back door, but it was locked.
Then I got a idea. I ran to my room, and got a whole thing of packaging tape ( I just
sent a toy to my friend in CA) and ran back into the blood-covered TV room. The Tails
Doll was still there... grinning. I grabbed the tape and tied him up, and I tossed him
into the closet. I don't have much time -- send help. My address is OH NO HE GOT
OUT HELjhsdbuygsd HE"igbudsfhg KNIiujuijjoiajsddu
You're next.

Here's some eerie occurrences, documented by Austin della hoya...
Hello there. I have a name, but I prefer to be called by my nickname Austin della hoya.
I have read the stories, and I've been having some, should we say "signs" from the
tails doll. Remember, I've never done the curse and I wanted to do it, but I have a bad
feeling that if I do, it bad things will happen.
First, I was walking in my hallway and I felt someone was in the bathroom. I peered in.
It was dark, there were no lights on and I saw something that resembled the Tails Doll
staring at me. The second I saw it, cold sweat came down my spine. I ran, hoping it
would go away. That whole day I felt something was following me.
Second, for some reason I've been having weird dreams through my life. In my
dreams, I actually see the future. A few nights ago, I had a dream that I got 100% on
Sonic R. After that, I woke up.
Third, from my computer speakers, I always hear "Can you feel the sunshine, does it
brighten up your day?" over and over again. It's creepy. When It's quiet, It gets louder,
and turns into another voice singing it, even if the speakers are off.
All I'm saying is that even if you don't perform any curse, you're never safe from him.
Even if you've never heard of him, you're never safe from him.
And I have "Can You Feel the Sunshine" stuck in my head.

Sami send us her tale of love, loss and desperation...
Hello. I do not wish to disclosed my full name, so just call me Sami.
I have read several stories from your site, but I didn't believe them until a few weeks
ago. It was December, and my birthday was coming up. I was living with my boyfriend,
but I really wanted out of the relationship, let's just call him Sai.
Anyway, it was the day right before my birthday. Sai had left for work, and I slept in at
our apartment. I had school every other day, so it was pretty cool. Anyway, Sai knew
of my love for Sonic Games, and I had asked him for Sonic Gems Collection. He knew
of the curse, but he would do anything for me. When he came home from work, I was
playing my Wii. I didn't notice he had a little bag with him, but I already knew what he
got me.
It was the next day, and I had school. When I came home, he "surprised" me with a
small wrapped present. I set down my bag and took the present from his hands. I
quickly unwrapped it and squealed when I saw the words, "Sonic Gems Collection"
under shiny plastic. I imeadiately shoved the game in my Wii and started to play Sonic
CD. He sat on the couch watching me happily as I sat on the floor playing the game.
He went to bed early because of a meeting in the morning. I didn't have school, so I
could stay up fairly late. I made sure Sai wasn't in the room, and I switched over to
Sonic R to proved the damned curse wrong. A few hours later, it was around 10 or 11
at night and I finished the game. 100%. I waited for another 5 minutes. "Haha, I knew I
was right. That stupid curse ain't really true!" Of course, my Texan cockyness came
out when in reality, I shouldn't have.
It was a few weeks later, and I had started to work on a Tails Doll plushie. I kept it
hidden from Sai because I knew he'd want me to throw it away. One day, he had come
home and saw me playing as the Tails Doll on tag four. My TD plush on top of the TV.
I had already tagged the mecha characters, and was just about to tag Super Sonic
when Sai yelled and turned off the Wii. I had just tagged Super Sonic when he turned
off my Wii. The screen didn't fade and he grabbed me away from the console. He
knocked my Tails Doll plushie off the TV into the trash can, and lobbed the CD out the
window. I swore at him, grabbed my doll out of the trash and went to my room,
slamming the door behind me. I curled up on my bed with my doll and I heard Sai slam
his door as well. I got ready to leave because some friends were picking me up to go
somewhere. Before I left, I set the doll back on my TV. I kissed his forehead and left.
A few hours later, I came back home. When I opened the door, there were no lights
on. No sounds excepet for the AC and myself. I went to turn on the lights and sat down
on my couch. I looked at the TV and no longer saw my plush. I had thought Sai had
gotten mad and lobbed it out the window as well. Ho boy, was I wrong. I went to his
room for I couldn't find him anywhere else. I heard an all too familiar tune coming from
his room. I knew it was his computer because he didn't have a sound system and
neither did I. I knew he hated "Can you feel the Sunshine", and wondered profusely
why he would be playing it. I tried the knob. Surprisingly, it was unlocked. I took off my
shoes because he wanted to go Asian style. (He's Asian so I didn't blame him.) I
walked up to his bed. There was a lump in his covers and I thought he was sleeping. I
sat down, not noticing dark spots on the sheets, and pulled back the covers. I
screamed in horror when I saw his massacred body. I saw a little red gem, and I knew
it was my plush. I pulled him out from under the covers. There was a post it note that
said "I knew you had a bad relationship, but to your displeasure you will be seeing
your boyfriend pretty soon." I crumpled up the note and threw it to the floor. I took my
Tails Doll to the kitchen and got out a sharp knife from the drawer. I slashed my hard
work with the knife and threw it across the room. I ran out of my apartment and called
the cops.
One cop was asking me questions. Behind him, I saw an investigator come out with
the demonic doll in a plastic bag. It was unharmed and everything. I asked him where
he found that and he said it was in Sai's arms. The doll's eyes looked into mine and I
turned away.
He's after me now. Every time, he's close to finding me, he leave a post-it note saying
"you're next." My mother keeps asking me to come live with her, but I don't want her to
die as well. I keep moving, so I don't know when I'll submit again. I have to find a way
to kill this doll once and for all...

"Incognito" has an axe to grind and a deadline to meet...
Hello one and all. I am...well, Lets just say I'm Incognito.
I do not have a tale of fright to tell. I will not lie and say I have seen the Cursed Doll,
but what I will be truthful about is this; I will kill him. I know many of you have tried and
some have nearly gained a victory, but have lost it the process. I shall gain
vengeance for you all...and my sister.
The doll did not appear to me and when I read the site I was like "pffft, Tails is not
scary i would kick his tiny butt." Bold words I know, but my sister played Sonic Gems...
and she had went missing. The only Clue I have is what was written in blood on her
wall "Run, Run as fast as you can Little boy, your sister's soul is mine because she
played my game; Now I wait for you come save here if you wish, be a "savior" but
remember the clock is ticking --TD"
I don't know what to do! I'm at wits end. Please, if anyone, ANYONE can help me, my
address is "[email protected]."

It seems the Doll's ranks are growing larger then I imagined, as Sean is evidence of...
My name is Sean. I've tried the curse many, many times but still nothing has
happened. I one time did the curse 10 times in a week. Am I just lucky or do I not have
a good soul or is he to busy? Now I'm probably starting to sound strange but come on
-- the Tails doll is Freaken' Sweet. I wonder what he'd look like with nine tails. I can't
wait to find out. And if your wondering, Yes I'm a supporter of the tails doll. Can you
feel the sunshine?!
