This allegedly comes from the Doll itself…
I have seen your site about me. Some stories are true, some are false. All these
people, all those memories - quite nice to remember all of that. But all those people
who claim people became nothing because of me . . . Let me ask you this: Can
anything exist when nothing does? Kind of brings you down to know you may not
even exist.
"Birds of feather flock together"
They do. You flock together with your website, that makes it easier to find all of you.
But to the point. I am a branch of you. I can only exist as long as you are stupid
enough to perform the curse. I am your fault, your mistake. I ask you, as a fool so
amazing to create his own doom:
Which one of us is possessed?
Face it: I am nothing. And if nothing can exist, then everything is nothing. You exist
only as much as I do, you are a creation of yourself. Therefore, I only destroy your
own illusion. Can you feel the revelation?
Can you feel the sunshine?

MasterGamer returns with an update to his tale…
Wow - its been a while since I've been here. It's me, MasterGamer, but now I'm called
Starflare. Sorry about not updating like I should have. I’ve been real busy with school
and stuff, but let’s begin!
For five months, I've been taking a break from researching the Tails Doll, but I met a
friend at school who didn't even know of "The Curse," until we got into a good
conversation about video games. He became curious and started to research the
Doll. Hell, I even gave him the address to this very site, and he read every single story
in a day.
I technically saved my new Researcher friend, because I bought Gems Collection from
him and now he can’t do the "Game Version" of the curse. I still haven't done the
Sonic R Curse and don't plan on it. Yes, I'm scared...
Even playing Tails' Nightmare 2 (great game - recommend playing it), fighting and
seeing the Tails Doll struck fear and near death in me. I couldn't move my body. I
couldn't even breath...all the movements...the effects looked real. I couldn't sleep for
days because I feel like he’s watching me!
So I say to you this -- take a break from researching. I think my very first researcher
friend was either captured or killed by the Tails Doll. I haven't seen or heard from her
in almost a year.
I'll try to keep you all posted...

Tanner’s epic tale of a cross-country crusade continues, with a fanciful twist…
Date: September 23, 2010
Ah, what a beautiful Thursday it is here in Kansas. The sun is shining, there’s no
cloud in the sky, and everyone’s happy; or at least me. I’m in a little coffee shop
mooching off of their Wi-Fi and drinking a latté; it’s so yummy!
Ok, getting down to business. It’s Tanner again, and I have some wonderful news.
Now I’d love to tell you what that news is, but I think I’d rather tell you what has
happened to me since the last time I updated.
It started that night at the motel in Des Moines. I fell asleep in their super
uncomfortable bed and had a dream, but it wasn’t the nightmare. No, it was
something better. In this new dream I am sitting under a tree. The sun is shining and
there’s a small breeze blowing making the weather warm but cool at the same time;
the type of weather I love. The scenery was so beautiful that I felt like crying. I could
hear waves washing up on land. In the distance there was a forest and out in front of
me was an open environment. It had short green grass, clear blue skies, no pollution,
and a few small two-story houses here and there. This was a place that I could only
wish to move to; but sadly it was just a dream, or so I thought.
I woke up that morning feeling better than ever. “Wow,” I thought to myself. “That was
probably the best dream I have ever had. It felt so…” I paused, not knowing for sure
how to describe the dream. “Real,” I eventually thought. This was my first dream of
this place, but it wouldn’t be the last.
I got out of bed and dressed myself; I had to look for a job and one that paid a lot.
The only place I knew of that paid that kind of money was a farm and that is not easy
work. So I left the motel with my backpack and drove out to the country. On the way,
though, I was hearing voices. They were faint and quiet but also familiar. I started to
get scared, thinking that it might be a Tails Doll or a human servant; but when I looked
around in the car and outside nothing looked suspicious. So I just told myself that I
was getting paranoid and kept driving.
I eventually found a place that was hiring. It was detasseling, or in other words, going
down rows of corn during the middle of the day, getting hot and sweaty, and getting
covered in mud. But hey, I needed the money. Apparently if I worked seven hours a
day for three weeks on a wage of seven twenty-five, I would earn about one-thousand
sixty-five dollars and seventy-five cents – just to be exact. The guy said that I would
start tomorrow, so I had plenty of time to buy the necessary items.
After buying everything (I bought all cheap clothes) I went back to the motel to turn in
early for work. That night I had the same dream; the beautiful sky, the sun warming
me up, and that wonderful ocean breeze. I was sitting under the tree, not wanting to
move, and listening to the birds chirp. One of the birds flew past me, but it looked
different from a normal bird. This bird looked a little rounder than normal and it was
green. I mean it was a solid green color; there were no other colors mixed in to it; but I
didn’t care, I was too preoccupied with a volleyball game going on in the distance. All
chicks in bikinis, alright! When the sun was high up in the sky, about noon, two
figures (I think they were guys) walked up to the girls playing volleyball and started
talking to them. The girls kept shaking their heads no, so they were probably asked
something, but eventually the guys walked away and started calling out to someone. I
could hear their voices but not very well. I tried concentrating on what they were
saying, “Ta… ta… tan… tan… Tanner…” And that’s when the horrible truth came;
they were looking for me, and asked the girls if any of them had seen me! I started to
freak, “This can’t be happening, not again! Wake up. I need to wake up!” I lifted my
head forward and slammed it against the tree behind me.
I woke up in the motel bed. The back part of my head was hurting so I rubbed it with
my hand. “Darn it,” I thought angrily to myself. “The doll must be trying to look for me
in my dreams. Hopefully he doesn’t know where I really am.” I looked toward the
alarm clock next to me – 4:53 am; plenty of time to get ready for work.
After about a half-‘n-hour I got into my car with my backpack and started to drive to
work. Again I was hearing voices on the way to the farm, but this time the voices were
louder. I kept telling myself that it was nothing and to keep focused on the road.
When I arrived at the farm, I was not prepared for what was in store; but I did the job
as best as I could. After work I went back to the motel and went straight to bed.
I had the same dream, but this time the guys were getting closer. And this cycle
continued for three weeks. Every morning on the way to work the voices would get
louder, almost getting closer; and every night I would have the same dream with the
two getting closer. But finally on Sunday, August 8th, I figured out what it all meant.
That night, I was driving home from work with my last paycheck (I was very proud of
myself) when I started to hear the voices. “Odd,” I said aloud, confused. “This is a
first.” The voices sounded like they were right next to me and strangely muffled. I
looked next to me, into the passenger seat, and saw only my backpack. Pulling off to
the side of the road, I opened the bag. The only things in it were my miniature bats
and my Sonic and Knuckles plushies. The weird part was, when I opened the bag the
voices stopped and didn’t start up again, so I ignored it and kept driving.
I arrived at the motel, exhausted, and decided to turn in early. I changed out of my
dirty clothes and got in bed. As soon as I laid my head on the pillow, I fell asleep
instantly and had the dream.
I opened my eyes and saw the sun, so bright and shiny, and started to look around.
“Another beautiful day,” I said happily to myself. I looked in the general direction of
where I thought the beach was at and found what I was looking for. “Ah,” I said
delighted, “Another beach volleyball game, heh heh heh.” So I sat there, under the
tree, and watched.
A few minutes later, something caught my eye. I turned my head in that direction and
was shocked at what I found. It was the two guys, walking out of a small house, and in
my direction. As they got closer, they started to look more and more familiar (one was
blue and the other was red), but by that time, I was freaking out. “Crap, crap, oh
crap,” I thought I said to myself.
“Did you hear that?” the red one asked. The blue one shook his head.
“Crud! One of them heard me!” I said getting scared.
“Wait a minute,” blue said. “I think I heard it that time.”
“Damn it!” I started thinking, “What to do, what to do? I need to run, I need to hide!”
“Did you hear him that time?” red asked.
“Ya,” answered blue. “We need to find him before he gets away.”
“Right,” red said.
They started to jog towards me. “Darn it! How can they hear me?” I asked myself but
didn’t ponder it for too long. I tried getting on to my feet – which was a difficult task for
some reason, but as soon as I did, it felt like I had no balance, and I fell face first into
the dirt. “Well, it looks like I won’t be running away: time for Plan B.” I got up onto my
hands and knees and started to crawl behind the tree.
“Tanner! Tanner!” blue yelled.
“Where are you, Tanner!” red said after blue.
“Don’t look behind the tree, don’t look behind the tree,” I repeated hopeful.
“I think he might be behind a tree,” said red.
“Crap!” I exclaimed.
“You think?” said blue mockingly.
“Shut up and start looking,” said red sounding annoyed.
It sounded like they were getting closer to me, so I took a chance and peeked around
the tree to see how far they really were. First thing I saw was blue staring right at me.
“Eep!” was all I said before ducking back behind the tree.
“Ah, Knux. I think I just found him,” blue told red.
“Well don’t just stand there, go get ‘em!”
I knew that at this point I was screwed. Getting back onto my hands and knees, I
started to crawl as fast as I could, but didn’t make it very far.
“What’s up, bud?” blue, who had magically appeared in front of me, said.
“AAAAAHH!!” I screamed… like a girl. I started to crawl in a different direction when
blue appeared in front of me again.
“Yo man, where do you think you’re going?”
“AAH!” I screamed again. “Please don’t hurt me! I’m, I’m, I’m sorry for what I did in
that dream, but please don’t hurt me,” I told him cowering in fear.
“Me, hurt you? Come on, who do you think I am?” he asked me.
“Aren’t you the Tails Doll who haunted me in my dreams for four months?” I asked
shaking.
“Wow, he really got to you, didn’t he? No, dude, I’m not him.” He paused, “You really
don’t recognize me?” I was so scared that I couldn’t look at him, so all I did was shake
my head. “Hmm, you’d think you’d know a guy after being locked in his closet for six
years.”
His statement confused me. I opened my eyes and finally looked at him. “Sonic?
Sonic the Hedgehog?” amazed at what I saw, I regained feeling in my legs and stood
up. “Oh my god, this must be a dream if I’m talking to you!”
“No, dude, it’s not a dream,” Sonic told me. “You’re on Mobius, or at least your soul
is.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well, I can’t really explain everything to you, but I will tell you this; your soul is
connected to a, um, plushie here on our world, as our souls are connected to plushies
on your world,” he said.
“But I’m not a…” I started to say as I looked down. And that was the first time, on
Mobius, I looked at myself. “Oh my god, I am a plushie!” I started to look at myself
and feel around to make sure that this was real. “But, but if I’m a plushie, how can you
hear me?” I asked Sonic.
“Well actually, Tanner, since you can’t move your mouth, your thoughts become your
means of talking; if that makes any sense to you.”
But before I could answer him, Knuckles came storming up. “Sonic! I’ve been looking
for you guys, why didn’t you call for me?”
“Well, um…” Sonic stammered but never finished.
I was just about to say something to Knuckles when I noticed it. He was holding a
plushie, but this was no ordinary plushie; it had no features to it, no clothes, no face,
no shoes – just a blank plush. Yet, there was a glow to it, almost as if it was radiating
its own light. And this light that came off of the plush put tears into my eyes for some
reason. “It’s, it’s beautiful,” I said, about to cry (if plushies can actually cry, that is).
Knuckles looked confused until he saw what I was looking at. “Oh,” he said. “So you
think that she looks beautiful, hm?”
“Wait, what?” I asked, finally coming back to reality. “That blank plush is a, um, girl?
How do you know that?” I felt a blush coming on, but I held it back as best I could.
“By her life force,” he told me, as if I knew what he was talking about.
“Her who-da-what-a now?” I asked like an idiot.
“Her life force,” he repeated. “It’s the energy that all living beings produce.”
“Ok,” I said somewhat getting it now. “But what’s so special about hers?”
“Well if you must know,” he began, “she’s a pure soul.”
“Wh-wh-what? A pu-pu-pure soul?”
“Yes, a pure soul. You see, the life force produced by an individual varies. A human
produces little to no energy where as a pure soul just emanates energy. Now us
Mobians produce more than you humans, but much less than the pure souls.”
“Hm,” I said trying to put this information into something I could relate to. “So, if we put
this on a scale of one to ten, one being a human and a ten being a pure soul, the
Mobians would be a five?”
“Ya, kind of,” he said while nodding his head. “But, you have to remember that it
varies with every person. So it would be more or less a four or a five on that scale.”
“Alright, I think I’m starting to get it now; but why would the doll send one of his
subordinates after me? Unless…” I started but was interrupted by Knuckles.
“No Tanner, you’re not a pure soul.” Knuckles reassured me.
“Darn,” I said a little disappointed, but also relieved. “But if I’m not a pure soul, then
why me?”
“Hm, I’m not sure, but you do give off more energy than a normal human.” He
continued, “The doll must have been curious about why you would give off so much
energy.”
“So on that scale that I mentioned, I would be?” wanting to see what Knuckles would
say.
“I would have to say that you would be a six or a seven.”
“A six or a seven? I give off that much?”
“Ya, more than a Mobian. But I still don’t know why,” was all he said before a familiar
female voice called out.
“Sonic! Oh, Soooniiic!”
“We’re over here, Amy!” answered Sonic.
“Amy?” I asked when my answer came jogging in to the forest.
“Sonic! Oh, it’s so nice to see you again. You know…” She stopped and saw me
sitting down on the ground. Her eyes widened with almost a sparkle in them, placed
both hands over her chest, and, in an overjoyed voice, said, “Oh my, aren’t you just
the cutest thing ever!”
She walked over to me and started to reach out when Sonic said, “Um, Amy that’s…”
“Oh Sonic, I love it!” Amy interrupted him. She grabbed hold of me and put me to her
chest. “He’s such a cute little plushie!”
At that point I started to get mixed feelings. I didn’t know if I should enjoy the moment
or tell her. So I did both, “You’re very warm,” I said while also giggling. After I said
that there was a few minutes of awkwardness in the air, and then she screamed and
threw me. I hit the ground hard and when I opened my eyes I looked up to see Amy,
with her hammer, about to bring it down on me. Just before Amy swung her hammer
Sonic yelled out, “Amy, wait!”
She looked towards Sonic, a little confused but still ready to strike. “Why? It’s
probably one of the doll’s minions, and a perverted one, too.” I looked away as she
said that and blushed shamefully.
“Amy, calm down. He’s not one of the doll’s minions, but there is something different
about this one though. We just have…”
“That’s it!” Knuckles interrupted.
“What’s it,?” We all asked.
“I think I just figured out Tanner’s purpose!” he said, proud of himself.
“Tanner?” Amy asked not knowing that Knuckles was talking about me.
“The plush that you almost crushed,” Sonic answered.
“Oh,”
“Anyways,” Knuckles said trying to get back on track. “I have been reading some old
manuscripts about the Tails Doll and how to, maybe, defeat him.”
“Well, what’s that got to do with my purpose?” I asked a little impatiently.
“Let me finish,” he snapped. “In one account, the doll was once defeated by the pure
souls, many centuries ago. But, as I read more into it, I started to notice that the
manuscript kept referring to a ‘guardian’. As I kept reading, the ‘guardian’ would help
the pure souls in their quest to defeat the doll. But unlike the pure souls, the
‘guardian’ was only mentioned when the pure souls were in trouble,” he paused. “The
thing is, now that I think about it, it seems as though the manuscript was sort of hiding
this ‘guardian’ so that the doll wouldn’t learn too much about him.”
I don’t know what Sonic or Amy thought about what Knuckles just said, but I was
confused. “So, what are you saying?”
“Can’t you see Tanner? You’re the next guardian. That’s why the doll sent his
subordinate after you – to see what was so different about you.”
I was shocked. I was confused. I was scared! “But, I can’t be the guardian; I’ve never
been a guardian of anything. By the way, what am I the guardian of?” Like I said, I
was confused.
Knuckles walked over to me, leaned in close, placed the plushie in front of me, and
said, “The guardian of the pure souls.”
“The guardian of the pure souls,” I whispered while staring at the blank plush placed
in front of me. I could still feel the pleasure that I got from it earlier, and I could feel it
at that moment as well. It was a wonderful feeling. You almost felt as if there was no
bad in the world, that everything was fine and dandy, and that nothing in the world (or
other world/dimension) could harm you. As I felt this, in the back of my head
something was telling me that I was being selfish; that I wasn’t sharing this feeling with
anybody but myself. And that was when I remembered that connected to this plush,
this incomplete plush, was another person. A person who hadn’t realized who they
were yet, and a person who would be in serious trouble if they didn’t find some help.
Once I figured this out, I also realized my purpose as the pure soul guardian: to find all
seven pure souls and to help them defeat the Tails Doll. I understood what might
happen to me, but this was a job I couldn’t refuse. Now, don’t get me wrong – I was
scared, but again it was either the doll or the pure souls and I already rejected the doll
– so I was pretty much set. “Alright. I understand,” I said with some resignation. “So,
now what?”
“Well,” Sonic began, which surprised me because I was expecting Knuckles to
answer. “You need to leave the motel and start heading to Kansas.”
“Why Kansas?”
“Because there is something there that will help you in your journey with the pure
souls,” answered Knuckles this time. I started to get this feeling that they knew
something that I didn’t, but I ignored it since they would probably tell me eventually.
“Now, you better head back to your world, you have a long day ahead of you.”
I was just about to ask them a question when all of a sudden I was back in the motel
room. I looked over to the window and saw streams of light trying to squeeze in
between the blinds, and then down at the alarm clock: 8:35 a.m. Jumping out of bed, I
quickly did my morning routines, got dressed, threw my luggage together, put my
backpack on, and bolted out the door. I quickly threw my things into the car (keeping
my bag) and then headed to the check-in room. When I entered, there was no one
there. I headed to the front counter to call for a clerk, when I noticed a letter; it was
addressed to me! So I read it out loud, since no one was in the room with me.
“Tanner. Your next stop is Kansas. I will meet you at Lansing. Go to any
hotel/motel and you will find me. Clerk.”
After reading the letter, I just stood there. “How did he know that I was leaving and
that I would be heading to Kansas?” I asked myself.
There was some rustling in my bag, which kind of freaked me out, but I unzipped to
see what was going on. Once opened, my Sonic and Knuckles plushies almost flew
out of the bag. “Why the hell didn’t you leave the zipper unzipped? We could have
died in there!” yelled the Knuckles plushie.
“I didn’t know that you could communicate to me through the plushies,” I answered
honestly.
“Tanner, don’t you remember what I said before?” Sonic asked this time. “You are
connected to a plushie on our world as we are connected to plushies on your world,”
he reminded me.
“Ya, but I didn’t…”
“Never mind,” Knuckles interrupted impatiently. “We overheard you read the letter,
and it sounds to us like you have a new ally.”
“Ya, but how does he already know everything?”
Again, Sonic and Knuckles knew something but weren’t telling me, and they didn’t give
me a chance to ask another question. “Forget about it for now. Are you going to
head to Kansas or not?” Knuckles asked not letting me slow things down.
“Yes,” I said in defeat. I put my bag on my back again, placed the letter in my pocket,
and headed to my car.

Luis H. tells us this terrifying, but true tale…
I was playing the Sonic R game (for some reason, I didn’t go mad like all those other
guys who played it) in my house (the PC version). I normally like bloody first and/or
third person shooter games, but the game was pretty fun.
I was playing it because I wanted to know if that curse was true. I was playing in
Radical City, found the 5 tokens, then competed against THE TAILS DOLL. I won.
Nothing happened.
I was totally convinced that the curse was false. The thing I didn’t know was that seal
of the PC version…
Bad for me.
I played in tag 4 mode, selected THE Tails Doll as my character, clicked on “random”
and Super Sonic showed up. I was like “OH SHI-, the perfect enemy!!!,” Then, I
caught Super Sonic. Then all lights went off. I pissed on myself. I grabbed my
flashlight and my Sonic necklace. Something PWN’D me and I BLACKED OUT.
I woke up in a room with air fans in the floor and squares of black and red
everywhere. I pissed myself AGAIN, because I remembered the pic where the Doll
was in a room like this. I started walking, trying to find a door, without success.
Eventually, I found a ladder with a sign that said “EXIT” in red blood. When I climbed it
and was about to open the hatch at the end, something grabbed my leg. I looked
down… IT WAS THE GRIM REAPER ITSELF WITH THE TAILS DOLL ON THE
SHOULDER!!!! The Tails Doll saw my Sonic necklace, and his jewel turned into
green. (Judging by his reaction, I think green means fear!) He grabbed me and threw
me off the ladder. I crashed onto the floor, blacking out again.
I woke up in my room, in front of the computer, with the mouse on the PLAY button
and my finger on the first button of the mouse. I grabbed the mouse and threw it out
of the window.
I said to myself “was it a dream, or luck??!!!” Man, I don’t know. It felt real, but I don’t
have any injuries. To be safe, I deleted the game of my computer. (It’s a laptop, so it
has a secondary mouse). I went to the bathroom to wash my face.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a knife covered in blood poking out from
behind. Then the mirror broke! I turned back and screamed- “HOLY S#@!T!!!!, I
KNEW IT WAS REAL!!!!.”
Since then, I’ve thrown /burned / broke anything that has to do with Sonic, except for
the necklace that saved my life. I’m actually making a 2D (or 3D if I change my mind)
picture showing what I lived.
I’m the luckiest man ever.

Kevin is a fellow Tails Doll researcher, and wishes to share his data with us…
Hi. My name is Kevin. I've been a long-time researcher of the Tails Doll and I just want
to compliment you on this site. Anyway, I've put together a little list. It's how to help you
and everybody else defeat him, if the need comes up.
That's all I got for now. If I get more, I'll send it in. Stay safe, and be alert.
*I have no evidence he dies if his stuffing is lost. Do not try to get the stuffing out
unless it is guaranteed to actually make all of the stuffing come out.

Roy McC. is worried he’s losing it…
I think I'm going MAD!!!!!!
Okay, so my name is Roy R. McCone (Yeah, yeah. SCREW identity theft). I've had
some strange coincidences, though it seems they may not actually be coincidences.
And dammit, I'm not psychotic!!!!
So, I was looking through my stuff, ‘cuz my mom wanted me to clean up, and I found
an OLD Tails Doll picture. I remembered throwing it away, so I thought, WTF?!?!
It got my heart racing and thinking at jet speeds! Maybe, if I researched the web
thoroughly and planned it all well, maybe I could prove the Doll real, and either kill it or
befriend it. Two hours before midnight, I got a headache, then a high fever, so I went
to bed. The next day I went to Scripps and was diagnosed with a sinus infection.
The next week, I didn't think of it as a Tails Doll occurrence. Or at least, not until I tried
the curse with my friend, Brandon (Arkra12 on youtube) and a priest's son named
Daniel. We had it ALL planned. We'd have Brandon bring a replica of the Master
Sword, (LoZ) a steel bat, some Sonic and Shadow dolls, and a Nerf gun with a red
LED light for distraction. I had another steel bat, a Shadow doll, a tennis racket, and
some Sonic/Shadow musical lyrics. OF COURSE, when 10:00 hits, suddenly Daniel
gets scared of it. (Probably ‘cuz I was counting down) Not only that, but his dad,
Pastor Tim, convinced Mom not to let us do it that time!
WTF IS HAPPENING?! I still don't understand!! Maybe I'm a pure soul? Maybe it’s
Brandon!! We tried it yet again, but this time we got to do it.
But why... didn't it work? Did I already do it when I never knew about it?!?!
(Yes, I had the game on PC.)

Cathleen C., of the SSInvestigators recounts her bone-chilling research…
I have a friend. She and I are in a group called SSInvestigators -- we also have a
website SSInvestigators.webs.com. We investigate the Tails Doll. Well, all I’m saying
is that we support you all the way. So yeah. Ok, here is the tale I heard.
The end begins when you know about the Tails Doll. It is from a game called SonicR.
You can bring it in to our world by beating the game all the way ( like 100%), or there
are two songs called “Can you Feel the Sunshine” and “Living in the City” but they
have to be played backwards. Well, me and my friend went to my bathroom since I
don't have an attic. We went there with two cameras and my iPod (to play “Can u feel
the Sunshine” backwards, and we heard "Get Out" but it was all muffled up and then
we heard scratching on pipes in the wall.
We got locked in there too! We were screaming our lungs out. I managed to unlock
the door, flung it open, and we ran out. Strangely, my mom did not here us at all.
Well, we decided that's not enough to prove it, so we went back in and on the mirror
there was “Get Out” scrawled on it in red lipstick. We cleaned the mirror and did it
again, but with “Living in the City” backwards.
Nothing happen that time.

Joe L. sends us a journal of the damned…
John loved Sonic R. He knew the game was "cursed", or that's what some websites
said. He didn't believe in the curse.
That's where he went wrong.
Enclosed in this document is a digital copy of John's journal he kept everyday as a log
of his attempt to invoke the Tails Doll. Nothing has been edited.
June 1, 2006
10:37 p.m.
Today, I was in my room playing Sonic R on my computer. I had gotten it as part of a
dual pack that came with Sonic 3D Blast. I had installed it on my computer before, but
had found the clunky controls insufferable.
After reading about the "Tails Doll Curse", however, I reinstalled it and was intent on
performing it as soon as possible so as to put a rest to a topic I thought was
completely stupid.
I had finally gotten all the characters after suffering through the terrible controls. I was
completing the game with Tails Doll to fulfill one of the many methods of performing
the curse. I was racing on Radiant Emerald when his computer started lagging horribly.
I tapped the arrow keys furiously in an attempt to get my racer to move. My dinosaur
of a computer sometimes froze when I played 3D games, so it wasn't an uncommon
problem.
Finally, the screen went black. When it faded back in, Tails Doll was doing his victory
animation.
"Well that's a cool glitch..." I mused to myself. It would've been almost impossible to
beat Super Sonic.
After a few seconds, Tails Doll stopped and faced forward. Its gem started to glow,
and the screen gradually grew more red, the more the gem's light intensified.
Tails Doll began to get larger, as if trying to escape the monitor. The evil doll became
larger, and I just watched as if it were just another cutscene. It interested me that the
programmers would include a cutscene like this in the game.
Suddenly, the computer turned off.
I had had this problem before. The old piece of machinery sometimes did things like
that. The plug was faulty and wouldn't stay in the wall, which probably wasn't safe, but
I was too cheap to buy a new one.
I investigated the outlet and found the plug securely in the wall. I pressed the power
button on the computer, and it instantly booted up to my desktop, as if it were never
turned off.
"That's weird," I said to myself. I wondered what could've caused such a thing.
Looking at the clock, I finally realized that I had played until two o'clock in the
morning. There's no way I’m going to stay up any longer, especially with Driver's Ed in
six hours.
June 2, 2006
8:56 p.m.
A red light outside my window woke me up in the middle of the night last night.
Usually, vehicles missed the turn that was in front of our house and they ended up in
our yard. Consequently, I figured it was a taillight. There was nothing I could do about
it, so I went back to sleep.
11:30 p.m.
This morning, after getting dressed and such, my mom and I went out to get in our van
to go to Driver's Ed. I looked outside my bedroom window to see how deep the tracks
from the guy’s tires were.
There was nothing there.
That puzzled me. What did I see last night? Was it a dream? That's what I thought it
was.
After I got back home, I went to my room and started to play Sonic R. I concentrated
on doing the next method of the curse. I chose Tag 4 and selected the Tails Doll. If
Tails Doll could get out by this method on the Gamecube, why not the computer?
The game started as Resort Island loaded. The familiar tune of "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" floated out of the speakers. The countdown started, and all the
characters shot off in different directions.
I tagged Egg Robo first with ease. Metal Knuckles ducked out of my way for a little bit,
but I caught him when he ran into the water and came out slowly. Metal Sonic was
tougher. He successfully evaded my first few attempts
but got caught when he hit a palm tree.
Super Sonic was (obviously) the hardest of all. He avoided my best attempts for a
good two minutes. Eventually, though, he hit the wrong side of the loop and got stuck
trying to get away from the wall.
I tagged Super Sonic, and the game froze again instantly. The only remainder of the
game unfrozen on the computer was the haunting melody of "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" still playing. Many of my games had done this before, so I figured it was
just a problem with my computer.
Suddenly, the disc drive shot open and my copy of Sonic R flew out. The disc flew so
fast, it actually flew into my mattress, and it took me a good ten minutes to fish the
stupid thing out.
I turned my attention back to my computer, where "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" was
still playing, even though the game had stopped. I walked over to my computer and
pressed the power button on the tower and turned it off.
"Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
The song was still playing. I unplugged the tower and monitor.
"Don't you feel that sometimes you just need to run away?"
I was panicking. I couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from. I looked
around and noticed my cell phone playing the music.
Relieved, I picked up my phone and turned the music off. I was so glad that I had
found a reasonable explanation for what was causing that noise.
I'm tired now. I think I'm going to try to do the bathroom mirror thing tomorrow.
June 3, 2006
7:47 a.m.
I woke up in the middle of the night again. This time, it was a dream. A night terror,
actually. It was terrible. I dreamt I had tried the bathroom mirror Tails Doll curse and
he came out of the mirror and began to disembowel me.
I'm scared now. I've never even had a night terror before, and I've become
disconcerted. I don't think I'm gonna try anything to do with the curse today, even
though it was just a dream. The other coincidences have been just too… coincidental.
10:05 p.m.
I saw it today. I saw it as I backed out of the driveway to go to the grocery store. It was
sitting on a shrub, looking at me with its dead eyes. It was a chilling sight, but I'm sure
I was just being paranoid. I was probably just imagining things.
I returned home and went into the living room to watch TV. I know it couldn't have
been true, but I could've sworn that I saw the Tails Doll in every commercial and even
some shows.
I'm probably just tired. I think I'll go to bed a little earlier than usual tonight.
June 4, 2008
8:13 a.m.
No dreams last night. That's a good thing. I'm about to try the mirror curse while
playing "Living in the City". It's still light out. I just woke up about twenty minutes ago.
Wish me luck.
8:45 a.m.
Nothing. I guess the mirror curse is just a load of crap. I sat in the bathroom doing the
curse every way I could think of with "Living in the City". Nevertheless, I'll still try it
tonight with "Can You Feel the Sunshine?".
10:40 p.m.
Holy crap.
That's all I have to say. Maybe I'll be brave enough to describe it tomorrow.
June 5, 2006
9:15 a.m.
Okay. Let me try describing this. I played "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" forwards.
Nothing.
Next, I played it backwards. I saw the Tails Doll staring back at me with its cold,
soulless eyes.
The gem on its head grew brighter and brighter. Tails Doll somehow produced a
switchblade and began to come toward the mirror. I tried backing up as far as I could.
Struggling to find the light switch, Tails Doll came out of the mirror and slashed at me
with the switchblade. I reached for the switch I had identified in the light from its gem,
and Tails Doll nicked my wrist.
I flipped the switch.
No Tails Doll.
I still have the cut.
3:57 p.m.
I think I'm going insane. I've been seeing the Tails Doll everywhere again. Especially
in the mirror. I've covered all the mirrors in the house.
I saw it looming outside the windows. I won't even let my parents or sister open the
blinds now. I think they're worried about me. I don't care, though. As long as I'm still
alive, I'm okay.
56:10 pm

John's journal ends there. He was found in his room with his head through his
computer monitor. His face was smashed in and a mouse was stuffed down his throat.
Autopsy reports show no cause of death. A copy of Sonic R was found in his stomach.
A three-inch cut was on his left wrist.
John's parents and sister were found with several gunshot wounds to the head. The
gun wasn't found.
John's cell phone was found playing "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" on full volume.
The song, however, was nowhere to be found on the phone.
All TVs in the house were found to be playing Sonic R. No video game systems were
found in the house. Tails Doll was doing his victory animation on every TV.

Snowclaw sends us this tale of an eye for an eye….
So I'm a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. One night, I was messing around on my
laptop, screwing around with the settings, when the doorbell rang. Since I was in the
basement, I had to walk upstairs and opened the door. My friend Amelea was there,
so I let her in and we both went into the basement.
Once we were down there, Amelea browsed through my games. "Hey Snowclaw,” she
gasp, ”let’s play this game!!" She held up Sonic Gems collection. I thought for a
moment and agreed, so she put in the game and chose Sonic R, "No way," I snapped.
Amelea looked at me weirdly. "What?” I finally asked. "Nothing," she said and handed
the controller to me. So I started playing and soon unlocked the Tails Doll. Suddenly,
the phone rang. I made a move for it, but my friend got there first. After a while, she
hung up and said "I gotta go." "See ya," I said and Amelea left.
I was still playing the addictive game. After some time passed, I looked at my clock and
it said 12:00 am. "Whatever," I mumbled and kept playing. About 30 minutes passed,
and my TV blacked out. "What the heck?" I said and the Tails Doll appeared.
I dropped my controller as the doll few out of the screen. I was face to face with that
damned doll, so I stood up and backed away. The doll grabbed a knife out of
nowhere, and threw it at me. I tried to doge it but the knife sliced into my left eye. I fell
to my knees holding my hand over my hemorrhaging eye!
The doll laughed and said "You’re finished!" I looked up at the doll with my good eye
and grabbed the knife he threw at me and threw it back. The doll screamed in pain as
his gem was cut off his head. I smiled and the doll vanished, leaving behind his red
gem. So I took it and looked at it. I swore I saw the Tails Doll’s face in it. I stood up and
set the gem on my desk and walked out of the basement.
To this day I am still blind in my left eye, and the blood spot were I was blinded is still
there. Even the red gem is there sitting on my desk.
So whoever reads this be warned never play Sonic R.

Magnanamous tells us a tale of “The Forgotten”…
Long before this moment, I had brother…
A younger brother, whom I despised. He and I never got along well and we never
could agree on anything. He would take my things, and leave his lying around. Being
the older brother, I would get in trouble for his misdeeds. I would go to my school and
have to deal with the same fate from kids I met there, too. I could no longer take it.
Then, I came upon your site, and read discovered the legacy of the Doll. I felt that
unleashing the demon would rid me of this cursed life I so hated. After completing the
game 100%, I hoped for the end of this tale. Nothing happened.
The following night, I met a girl with a pretty red necklace. She seemed so sad, so I
spoke to her. "Soon things would be better," I said, with a smile. She smiled back.
Each day, being with her made me happy, despite the pains in my life becoming
worse. One day, feeling defeated after restarting “Sonic R” and completing it, she
came to my window. It startled me when I first saw her, but I had no choice but to let
her in. I longed to stay with her, to ease my soul and all its woes. She and I embraced
as the pain started to disappear. I felt so calm that the ground felt it was moving. I
drifted off to sleep. As I slipped in and out of my blissful slumber, I would see her and
soon doze off once more as I felt the soft, fuzzy feeling of her next to me - each time
waking to a strange smell that she assured me that it was only the night air. Finally I
awoke to notice that time barely moved and asked her if she would like me to take her
home. She smiled and gave me one last hug as my eyes slowly faded into darkness.
I woke to what looked like a beach with just me and her, sitting at the top of a pier. She
placed a candle in a pot and finally crept close. As we sat be bathed in the shine of
the moonlight sky, I felt warm. After a few, blissful moments, I finally asked, "Where are
we?"
She smiled and dipped her hand in the water, and asked for me to join her. My hand,
wet with the warm water, pulled hers out and held her hand. We stared for as long as
we could, gazing at one another, not noticing the bodies of my fellow students and my
childish little sibling. We sang "Can You Feel the sunshine", and walked off into the
night.
I woke yet again to find that I was in a room with her. As I put on any clothing I could
find, I turned on the screen of the Television and saw that a child went missing 10
years ago, parents and siblings murdered and multiple bodies were found at his
house. I turned off the television and mumbled, "That child looks very familiar..."
At that very moment, she woke and said, "How can that be? You are still sleepy.
Come back to bed, Hon." As I pressed a random button, the television displayed the
words "Enjoy."
I crept in to bed once more, and just dreamed with her in peace.
I feel the sunshine now...
I am wrapped in the sunshine.
The room felt soft, like my sunshine....
With sunshine on my face and right beside me, together we slept, hand in hand, with
sunshine on our faces in the soft yellow room.
I was happy. So was she. We embrace the shine.

Snow feels the chill with her tale….
Not quite sure how to start this out, not that it matters right now, I suppose. I won't use
my real name. Whatever protection my fake identities provide me is worth the effort.
Either way, you can call me “Snow.”
This whole ordeal started well over a year ago. It all started with a forum I frequent. I
was in the general chat topic when one of the only other die-hard Sonic fans came
online. He came onto the chat topic as well, but all his posts were garbled. The other
members ignored him, but I tried to decipher his nonsense, and I ended up coming to
this message:
"He won't let me type correctly!! Help Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll"
I didn't understand the message at the time (oh, how naïve I was...), but reading that
made me uneasy. I posted a reply asking if I was correct, and he replied that I was.
Later that night, he sent me a PM asking that I try to summon the doll. I refused. He
sent me links to information videos and webpages (including this site), and shortly
after, he disappeared from the site, never to log in again.
Nothing of incidence happened after that, and months passed. It was now October,
and I had resumed my volunteer work full force as winter approached. I just love
people in general, all life, to be honest. It's all precious to me, which is why I
volunteer. And this is how I again ran into someone who spoke of the cursed doll.
A young man came into the shelter and asked me directions to the next city. He
looked awfully ragged, and I insisted that he stay awhile and rest, perhaps have a bite
to eat or something. He was against the idea, but I was eventually able to coax him to
rest a moment and explain his story to me.
He told me about how he had decided to try the curse with his friends. He described
their deaths with great detail, and I admit, I got shivers hearing about it. I told him that
we should call the police, but he refused. A few minutes later, he left. I do not know
what became of him.
Now, I fast forward to my recent encounters. This time, it isn't someone else- it seems
to be me.
Sometimes, when I'm out shopping or out for a walk, I see a small, red light out of the
corner of my eye. Or an orange object dash out of sight, just as I turn to look. Most
recently... I saw him watching through a window while I was at college.
This is all making me incredibly uneasy. Why would he follow me?
I'd better get going. Maybe you'll hear from some of my friends sooner or later. Some
of them have stories to tell as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to write in again soon.

DotAgumon is behind this creepy missive…
My name is DotAgumon and this is my story,
I bought Sonic Gems Collection. I beat Sonic R with 100%, and tagged super Sonic
last as the Tails Doll in “tag 4 people mode,” but had I never heard of the curse. Well,
since that day I've been having weird dreams. Eventually, I had a vision of myself
playing Sonic R and being attacked the Tails Doll. After that chilling nightmare, I sold
my copy of the cursed game to a friend - let’s call him Black Arms.
After I sold it to him, he told me about the curse of Tails Doll. I then realized that I did
all of the things that summon the demon. I didn't want to tell him, though - it would
make him panic. My poor friend is all ready terrified of the Tails Doll. From that day
on, we began what you would call “research” on the beast.
On this day (10/06/10), he told me about the game Tails’ Nightmare 2. He said that at
the beginning, the Tails Doll grabs you and take you to his world. After that, he had
trouble breathing and his chest hurt. I was terrified when he told me that. I still hadn't
told him that I completed the curse... but I’m afraid I was too late.
He downloaded “Can You Feel the Sunshine” and “Living in the City” to his flash drive
and was listening to them at school. Later that day, we were chatting on a social
networking site when all of a sudden his photo changed to the Tails Doll. He had
glowing red eyes and the crimson orb. My friend IMed me nothing but TAILS DOLL
TAILS DOLL TAILS DOLL... I CONTROL HIM NOW... THE FRIEND YOU KNEW IS
GONE FOR GOOD I CONTROL HIM NOW AND YOU ARE NEXTTTT.......
Scared for my life, I ran to gather my Shadow plush and was ready to chant Sonic’s
name in Japanese really fast. Soon, the creature showed up at my front door as my
friend. My mom, not knowing what was going on, let him in. He came to me and drew
a knife.
He tried to kill me.
Unfortunately, he was successful. The Tails Doll surprisingly let me say my last words
in this message. Take my advice - don't ever sell your friend a cursed copy of Sonic
Gems. You will regret it..... TAILS DOLL TAILS DOLL TAILS DOLL.... CAN YOU
FEEL THE SUNSHINE?

Zandra is back, but her friends might not be…
Hi, It's Zandra again! I'm back again but I don't know for how long. I have a new story
and a terrifying bit of news from a friend. But first off I have to talk about a new dream I
had -- this one was so real, every detail of it seemed perfect.
I dreamt I was sitting in my room playing Sonic R. I had a stuffed animal by my side. It
was either my Shadow plushie or my stuffed dog, I couldn't tell. The screen just sat
there on the menu. I glanced out the window and saw a huge orange figure standing
by the light pole across the street, it was about 7 feet tall.
It was the Tails Doll!
It was huge! The light was casting a weird orange/red glow on the huge doll. Its gem
glowed dimly, of course red. The doll was covered in blood, huge splatters of it. It was
crudely stitched with black threads visible on it's wrists, neck, face, and belly. The doll
looked at me and smiled, revealing long, sharp, pure white teeth, oddly not stained
with blood or anything else. I stepped back from the window, surprised but not scared.
I sat down and played Sonic R.
I can't remember much about playing.... I didn't play as the Tails Doll, though. I looked
out the window again and the Tails Doll was far down the street, staring at me and
smiling with pointed teeth. It was the most realistic dream I've ever had, the room was
so real! The room was just like my room, down to the video games scattered on the
floor.
Now for the news from a friend -- I'll call her Toon. Toon believes in the Tails Doll too.
She's done the summoning songs too many times to count. After a while she began to
have a weird power. At some random times she can see into the future. It wasn't just
a one-time deal. It's happened a dozen times or so now. She recently went to Las
Vegas; I know she has internet there by the way. I haven't heard a word from Toon in
over 4 weeks. She hasn't called, emailed, or texted me. Nothing. Normally when I email
her or text her she replies later that day or the very next day. It isn't like her to not
reply! The last email I got from her four weeks ago said she was going to play Living In
The City and Can you Feel The Sunshine backwards at midnight with her stepsiblings.
Another thing that scares me is that she was supposed to be back from Las Vegas on
the 20th, it's now the 23rd. As much as it scares me, I'm going to play Living In The
City and Can You Feel The Sunshine backwards at midnight tonight. I have a horrible
feeling that Toon and her stepsiblings became slaves, I have to go find them and try
to bring them back!
I'll have a few tricks up my sleeve to bring them back. Wish me luck!

NonicTheGamer forgot something…
Hi, My name's NonicTheGamer and I'm here to tell you my story.
A long time ago, I had Sonic R for PC, and loved it. I was very young and did not know
about the curse, or the Tails Doll himself. A few years later, we got Windows XP, which
didn't run Sonic R. I was very disappointed that I couldn't play one of my favorite sonic
games, so I took it to my school, which had Windows 98 computers in the computer
lab. Sonic CD worked, so I played it for a while. Then put in Sonic R. It wouldn't work
'cuz of some color error that I didn't know how to fix, so I left it there, hoping somebody
would fix it on their own.
It disappeared the next day.
Many years passed, I grew up, and searched "Sonic R" on Google for the memories. I
scrolled down and found your site, and read all about the Tails Doll. I was very
interested, but also very scared (I even had to take my Tails plush off of display in my
room and lock it in my closet so I could sleep at night).
One day I took my Tails plush with me to a meeting at my school that my mom had to
go to (She's a teacher there). I went up to the computer lab to get on the internet the
whole time like I usually do, but when I got there, all the Mac's were replaced with
Windows 98's, and there, next to one computer, was my old copy of Sonic R! I knew it
was the same one because the picture on the disc was mostly scratched off and
"Sonic R" was written on it with sharpie. I took really bad care of my games back then.
I was so excited that I forgot about the curse and popped into the computer, only to
see my mom come in, telling me that it's time to go.
I took Sonic R to my house and, somehow, it worked! I played it for hours and finally
beat. I decided to play tag 4 characters as my favorite character, none other than Mr.
TD himself! As I was about to tag Sonic, I got my mind off of the frustration and
thought, "WHAT AM I DOING?!?!?!?". I took my finger off of the forward key to save
myself, but the Doll kept moving forward and tagged Sonic! I knew I was screwed, so I
ran to my parents’ room, but they weren't there! When I came back, the
congratulations screen was on and the picture of the Tails Doll was looking at me. I
stared at it until a spider crawled on my foot, snapping me out of it. My eyes hurt SO
bad after staring that long, I couldn't even see! I tried to run away but I kept running
into things. Losing consciousness, I finally got outside my house and passed out in
the grass.
I woke up the next morning, and everything was back to normal, except my Tails plush
was lying on my floor with a sticky note on it that said "You forgot the blue chaos
emerald -----TD P.S. Can you feel the sunshine?" I forgot to get the blue emerald? I
didn't fully do the curse! I felt so relieved! I put the plush in my closet with the note still
on it, and I have barley gone in there since.

It’s been a while since last we herd from Alex, but it seems he’s OK – for now...
Dear readers,
It has been a long time since I last posted. Since that time, I have well... Survived.
I have now escaped the Doll's grip, and am now living a normal life, I swear. Though, if
I ever see that doll again, I will run instead of embracing it. As you can see from my
last post, I sorta "embraced it," once before. Yeah…
Well, hopefully I’ll write you again soon. Otherwise, well…

DarkravenXXX is learning that a little knowledge can be a lot of trouble…
Hi. I’m Darkravenxxx, and this is my first post, so enjoy!
I’ve never met the Tails Doll.
It was a Saturday morning when my friend told me about Sonic R. We were seven at
the time. The day was cold and grey, so we checked the store for games. My friend
was a Sonic fan, but I just saw him as another generic, cash cow game character. My
friend saw Sonic Gems and he was off to the counter, face so full of joy and
excitement.
I just rolled my eyes.
We jogged to his house in the rain. We grabbed two cans of coke and went upstairs. I
sat on the pc, watching videos of games I wasn’t aloud to buy, like GTA 3. He just sat
there, like a vegetable, mouth open as he played the game. His coke wasn’t opened
for 1 hour, so I took it.
He didn't notice.
The sweet fizz slid down my throat as I stared at the obsessed child in front of me.
After another awkward 10 minutes silence he shouted "Woot! 77% complete!" with
glee.
I looked at my watch. It was time for me to go. "Well, gotta go. See you at school," I
said with regret. We hadn't talked much that day, and we couldn’t talk much the next
since the soul-crushing teachers at school forbid us to sit near each other. "Ok, see
you tomorrow," he said, resuming his game. I left, and went home. The weather was
bleak as hell. He continued this addiction for two more painful weeks.
Just then, its gone
Seven years later, we’re 14 and still good friends. He is no longer obsessed with
Sonic. Now he prefers anything violent. We went through our normal lives, repeating
days like a scratched record -- until one day, he surprised me. He came into school,
grey as death itself, with massive bags under his eyes to match. He was tired all the
time. He was like this for two weeks. It became unbearable. He wouldn’t say a word to
me. I grabbed him by the arms and shook him. "What the hells wrong with you?" I
asked, getting angry. He shrugged me off, and as he left, he murmured 3 words.
"Tails Doll curse..."
I stood there, wondering who was the Tails Doll, and what was this curse? Then I
remembered, Tails Doll was a character from his favorite game, Sonic R. Just
remembering that game annoyed me. It had turned him to a mindless…well, just
mindless. By the time I remembered, he was gone.
I went home, did homework and loaded up Google. This thing had saved my ass with
homework so many times. Out of lingering curiosity, I typed in Tails Doll. A bunch of
nerds posting stories was my first analysis - but that was soon to change.
I read some stories and, even though I hate Sonic and Friends, I kept reading. I
wanted to shun it as fake, but the fear and uncertainty was there now. (You wouldn’t
be afraid to step on a crack until some one told you the old phrase "step on a crack
and break your mothers back," right?)
I wasn’t a superstitious person, but I eventually asked my friend to show me the curse.
He just kept saying "No, you don’t want to do this!" The scary thing was, this was
horribly convincing. He booted up the game. Time went horribly slow, tagging the first
3 racers in order took around 10 minutes. Then it was just that cash cow Super Sonic
left. I was sweating and gulping. The stories I’ve read played in my head. He caught
him. It was too much.
I closed my eyes.
"You fell for it, you derp," laughed my friend. I feebly opened my eyes. He tricked me.
"You twat," I laughed. Even though it scared me shitless, it was rather amusing. "Well,
time for my tea, and time for you, you pussy, to go," he chuckled. "Yeah, alright. Bye,"
I said, relieved. My friend had turned back to his old, flamboyant self. I went down the
stairs and went out into the bleak, rainy day.
Another two months went by, then the words "Tails Doll" popped into my head. I don't
know why, I hadn’t any idea. So I went home and checked back on this site. Around
three more volumes had been added, so I read some. For two weeks, I was obsessed.
I really thought I was in danger of from doing the curse. I was up ‘till four in the
morning, under the covers on the PSP, reading. Then it faded away again. Then one
month and three weeks later, I was back again, getting no sleep for two weeks
straight. Then I gave it up again. I kept swearing I wasn’t coming back, but then the
nightmares came. In them, everything was black and white and had an ambient light
like the Tails Doll's red gem. I was going through my normal school day, but
everybody had the gems on their heads, except me. I would wake up in cold sweats,
and when I finally drifted back to sleep – bam! Back into this hidden world of darkness
I would be thrust once more.
Now it’s every 2 days. I am becoming an insomniac. My sanity is deteriorating. I am
hearing things. We all know what’s coming next.
Please help. Send me a message on Quacker Duk's Club Rouge if you have any
comments.
Now let me restate my old, well, statement
I haven’t seen the Tails Doll... yet.

Crasher is responsible for this strange submission…
Call me Crasher. This happened like 2 years ago.
So I was with this family for a sleepover. I entertained the oldest of their kids (who was
7 or 8 at that time) and we went to sleep around 9:00. I had joked around, saying the
thing about the Tails Doll curse a few times. I thought it was no matter to worry about.
Until he had the dream.
He went to sleep, suddenly putting himself into a world of Dinosaurs (he was a fan of
Dino King) and he noticed something... weird about a T-Rex. The earth was stained
with blood and the T-Rex had a red gem (yes, a red gem) on his head. It was glowing.
He was hit by the T-Rex. Next thing he knew, he was in the world of Pokemon. He had
just gotten Pokémon Pearl (or something like that), but the Legendary was this GIANT
monster thing. That was in the game AND you could capture it. I forgot the name for
the game. He was in the area where the legendary could be fought. Again, there was
a Red Gem on his forehead. The Pokémon swiped at him and he woke up. He went
downstairs to tell his mother and father, but he felt he was being watched. The weird
thing is, he hasn’t even PLAYED Sonic R, nor heard of it. I never mentioned that the
doll has a red gem, so how could he dream of it?
I was the one who had done the curse (in daylight). I still don’t understand why the doll
would be invading his dreams.

Shadow Elite things he might have stumbled upon a few “Revelations,” but you’ll have
to take them on faith…
Hi, I am Shadow Elite, but you can call me Shadow.
I finally know how to completely destroy the Tails Doll! Have you heard about the war
of heaven and hell being brought to the Earth? The Antichrist is Tails Doll! I found out
he has seven exclusives (mini bosses) that match the seven nations of Antichrist!
If Jesus is reborn and his Seven Purest souls come together and fight well can destroy
the Antichrist Tails Doll! I am the purest soul of Faith! God told me all of this! Now if
you are reading this, it does talk about Pure Souls and Dark Souls in the last part of
the Bible.
These are the Tails Dolls' weak spots - the red gem, the zipper and it’s loins. Before
we go to war, I will say one last thing: the Tails Doll isn't really a doll. It is a disguise. It
is really a demon under there. It is 666.
Holy Crap! The light are flashing on and off. Got to go, bye!

The next entry in the saga of Sal T. Dillo!
Concentrating has become increasingly difficult the past few days. I can’t stop thinking
about how odd it is that the Doll hasn’t found me yet. The trackers are still after me,
though I have a fair lead on them, but why doesn’t the Tails Doll just come and do the
dirty work himself? It wouldn’t take him but a second. Does he not consider me a
threat?
In any case, I managed to find the diner of which I was informed. Apparently, it had
been closed down due to a staff shortage the previous year. The door and windows
were boarded up arbitrarily. The workmanship was shoddy and easily dismantled. The
fools may as well have put a welcome matt outside of the door. On second thought,
they probably didn’t suspect anybody would want to break into a place like that
anyhow.
They suspected wrong.
As I entered the diner, I was greeted by the stench of dishes that hadn’t been properly
cleaned. The entire place was coated in grime, and the sunshine coming through the
windows illuminated a myriad of dust motes floating in the air. There was a splatter of
some red substance as well as a few holes in one of the windows.
Suspicious.
I began my search of the area near that window, looking for any clue that might aid my
quest. As I was about to move on, a small scrap of cloth on the floor near one of the
seats caught my eye. I examined it thoroughly, noticing there was a bit of blood on it.
This could potentially be an invaluable piece of evidence. Considering how long ago
this was left here, though, there was no way a dog could possibly trace the scent. But I
knew someone, or something, that could.
If you are half as intelligent as the trackers are, then you already know I am referring
to them. They could sniff down a three year old lead in the wintertime. However, my
plan was immediately confronted with two major issues. For one thing, the trackers
aren’t trying to hunt the person I am – they’re hunting me! However, if I get enough of
my scent on it, they may associate my smell with that of that boy, Ethan. They might
think that if they find him, they find me. My plan was beginning to take form, but I still
had an itsy bitsy problem on my hands… They’re not going to go after some extremely
vague lead if I’m right here. No, I was going to have to do something extreme to get
them off my trail.
The first thing I did was go out and purchase an entirely new ensemble. The clothes I
was wearing probably reeked of my natural scent. Next, I went to a general store and
purchased about five cans of Lysol. After that, I was lucky enough to find some odor
eliminator made specifically for hunting and purchase it. Hey, I was looking for a gun.
Afterward, I checked into the nearest hotel and immediately went to wash. Then, after
donning my newly purchased clothes, Lysol, and odor eliminator, I was ready. About a
day later, the trackers came. As predicted, they caused quite a ruckus in town before
heading off to the diner that I had undoubtedly left my putrid stench all over. They
didn’t take the bait at first, preferring to follow my trail to all of the stores I’d visited
and, after that, to my hotel room. That, however, is where they lost my scent. They
had no choice but to backtrack to the diner and take the scrap as evidence. As my
scent had been virtually erased from existence, the trackers had little choice but to
head off toward my target. Am I a genius or what?

GenesisMarcusII dreamed a nightmare of spine-tingling proportions…
I had gotten into remixing video game music. One day, I remixed "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" into G Major. I posted it on the web, along with a comment about the Tails
Doll ending the world tomorrow.
The next morning, I woke up to severe weather warnings in my area. Later, I watched
in horror as a tornado and a flood sped towards my house, but then I saw eerie red
glows coming from the weather. Then lightning struck, but it wasn't white -- it was
RED! Then a small yellowish doll emerged from the water, slowly floating towards the
door. The door opened without anything touching the doorknob. The power went out,
but strangely, only in my house.
Suddenly, the lights began flickering insanely fast while my G Major Mix of "Can You
Feel the Sunshine" played very loudly. Everything went dark. I regained
consciousness at two in the morning, but with "Kill your family and the Tails Doll will
respect you" repeatedly written in blood on the walls and floor. A knife was floating in
a jar of blood on the kitchen counter. When I pulled the knife out, it was totally clean,
no marks or blood. I dumped out the blood, but it didn't come out of the jar.
Then I saw a Tails Doll without the jewel on its head next, resting next to my Sonic doll.
I then heard my other G Major Mix loudly playing. All the lights went out, but it was at
night and it was as bright in the room as it would be with the lights on. Then everything
went truly DARK, and I couldn't see a thing except for a red glow. I managed to turn a
light on, but instead of a fox-like doll, it was a charred cat-like doll, with a meter on its
back and a valve on top of its head. It looked like a Steampunk version of the Tails
Doll. Its eyes glowed a blinding red and I fainted again.
I woke up in December. There was no snow at all, and it wasn't cold. I walked
throughout my house, yet nobody was there, not even my pets. I checked the day
again, but it was December 85th. I seemed to have warped into a time that doesn't
exist at all, with absolutely nobody at all. The entire world was in ruins.
Turning a corner, I encountered the Tails Doll. I tried to rip it onto pieces but every
time I touched it, I bled. I dashed to a hardware store to get a hammer to smash the
jewel on the Tails Doll. The Tails Doll said "Come out and play...” in a child-like voice. I
found myself in a level of Sonic R. Racing only against Tails Doll. I ducked and could
Spin Dash, so I did it and then I ran insanely fast. A few yards away from the finish
line, I lost all of the abilities I had received earlier in the race. The Tails Doll beat me.
Turning two me, it stared deep into my soul with those horrible eyes.
"I said if I win, I get to kill you. If you win, you get to kill me. You agreed. You just lost,
so I have to kill you."
I remembered agreeing to that! When the knife BARELY touched me, I went black
again.
I woke up again, with life back to normal. It was just another school day. That night,
when I went back to sleep, I had dreams of a toymaker and a scientist with the last
name of Robotnik, making the cat doll I seen earlier. Soon, they were killed by the
dolls.

Two years after Dagdress4 wrote us, we get an eerie update…
This is Syt56, once known as Dagdress4.
It has been two years since I tried to do the "curse," and my friend K's dog vanished.
The poor animal vanished the morning after she made fun of the curse.
Every Halloween, I go to this site to read all the Tails Doll stories to set the mood,
although this year, it was different. Every night I feel like I'm being watched. When I
play games on my PC with the Tails Doll stories in the backround, my computer gets
the blue screen of death. This has happened four times. I will say real quick that I
don't believe in the Doll, but I believe that it has some coincidences around it.
One morning, a few days after I stopped reading the stories, I got a pain inside my
body forcing myself not to laugh, or get pain. I though it was a muscle crap, although I
hadn’t been active lately. Maybe I was sleeping on it wrong?
When I was reading the stories for Halloween on a different laptop, I heard a noise not
too far away from the window. It sounded like it had come from just outside. I guessed
it might have been the "Shlumpy" noise, since I never knew what it would sound like. I
guessed it was my imagination, although I did stare at the window for a moment
wondering what the hell I just heard. Finally, I moved on.
One day, my curiosity got the best of me, and I went to the house next door. The
house was empty. It was K's home. The entire family seemed to all have gone to
school/work, so I went to the basement. That’s where I left the Gems Collection. On
the way down stairs, in the dark, were the shelves where I put the game, hoping to
never play it. It wasn't there. I looked in my old room, still not there.
I remembered the time before I bought Gems Collection, when I drew a picture of the
Tails Doll that said "Play with me" and hung it up in my room. Back then, I was
obsessed with the stories and had fun believing him.
I went back to the shelves and at the very top was the game. I held it and a sudden jolt
ran through me. I looked at the back of the box, checking out what it said about Sonic
R. I laughed when it said "Speed Demons." I put it back on the shelf, knowing that I
don't want to bring any bad luck to my surroundings. Then I heard a voice in my head
say "Play it." I passed it on as my imagination.
Now the reason I want to post this is because I just woke up from a dream. To be
clear, during the years of reading the Tails Doll I NEVER had a dream about him and I
always wondered why.
This was a week after I stopped thinking about the Doll.
This started as an ordinary dream, were things didn't make much sense and random
friends/family would appear. I noticed something different. In my arms was a Tails
Doll. This stuck out of my dream when everything else was like a normal dream. It had
black eyes stitched on it, but one thing was missing...
The gem.
In my dream, he came to life at random times saying he wanted to help, but I don't
remember what he helped me with. In my dream, I put him aside my bed thinking I was
trying to do something proving about the doll. I don't remember what I was doing,
though. This is when I had a dream within a dream, and when I woke up, I would wake
up with the Tails Doll there.
Finally I woke up for real, thinking, "What did I just dream?" That’s when I decided to
write this story. It’s only been a few minutes since I woke up.
All of this is true once. Still do this day, my friend K never linked her dog vanishing to
the curse that happened the night before.

Zandra is back, but her friend might not be...
Hi, It's Zandra again!
I'm back, but I don't know for how long. I have a new story and a terrifying bit of news
from a friend. But first off, I have to talk about a new dream I had. This one was so
real, every detail of it seemed perfect.
I dreamt I was sitting in my room playing Sonic R. I had a stuffed animal by my side - it
was either my Shadow plushie or my stuffed dog, I couldn't tell. The screen just sat
there on the menu screen. I glanced out the window and saw a huge orange figure
standing by the light pole across the street. It was about 7 feet tall. It was the Tails
Doll! It was huge. The light was casting a weird orange/red glow on the huge doll. Its
gem shone dimly, of course it glowed red. The doll was covered in blood, huge
splatters of it. It was crudely stitched with black threads visible on its wrists, neck, face,
and belly. The doll looked at me and smiled, revealing long, sharp, pure white teeth,
oddly not stained with blood or anything else. I stepped back from the window,
surprised but not scared. I sat down and played Sonic R. I can't remember much
about playing....
I didn't play as the tails doll though. I looked out the window again and the Tails Doll
was far down the street, staring at me and smiling with pointed teeth. It was the most
realistic dream I've ever had - the room was so real! The room was just like my room,
down to the video games scattered on the floor.
Now, for the news from a friend. I'll call her Toon for now. Toon believes in the Tails
Doll too. She's done the summoning songs too many times to count. After a while, she
began to have a weird power. At random times, she can see into the future. It wasn't
just a onetime deal, it's happened a dozen times or so.
She recently went to Las Vegas. I know she has internet there, yet haven't heard a
word from Toon in over 4 weeks. She hasn't called, emailed, or texted me. Nothing.
Normally, when I email her or text her, she replies later that day or the day after. It
isn't like her to not reply! The last email I got from her 4 weeks ago said she was going
to play “Living In The City” and “Can you Feel The Sunshine” backwards at midnight
with her step siblings. Another thing that scares me is that she was supposed to be
back from Las Vegas on the 20th, it's now the 23rd. As much as it scares me, I'm
going to play “Living In The City” and “Can You Feel The Sunshine” backwards at
midnight tonight. I have a horrible feeling that Toon and her step siblings became
slaves. I have to go find them and try to bring them back.
I'll have a few tricks up my sleeve to bring them back, so wish me luck!

NonBeliver6673 sends us this reportedly TRUE tale...
This is a TRUE story
It all started that one night. I was in bed, bored to death. I couldn’t fall asleep, so I got
on my iPod and searched up the Tails Doll on You Tube. Of course, I’ve heard he’s
evil, but I’d never heard of the curse. I watched some videos about it, and the more I
watched, the more horrified I began to be.
Then I thought, and thought, and thought, and realized how stupid I was acting, and
eventually fell asleep.
The next morning I went to my neighbor’s house (I’m home-schooled there) like
always, booted up my iPod, went on You Tube, and found the video of “Can You Feel
the Sunshine Backwards.” As soon as it started, a chill ran up my spine, but I stuck
through it.
Throughout the day, I felt as if someone was watching me...
At about 7:00 I went home, and played the song to my brother again. I was creeped
out. Later that night, I swore I seen a red light in my parents room. I rushed to my
room and surprisingly fell asleep fast. I dreamt that the Tails Doll was watching me...
Just staring at me...
With his lifeless eyes...
I still don’t believe in the Tails Doll, but this was just scary.
____________________________________________________________________
This is a scary story is from a friend of the late Lee T...
One day, I was talking with my friends on skype. As a joke, we were making fun of the
Tails Doll because we didn't believe it existed. That all changed the next day. I got on
skype again to talk to my friends, but one of them didn't log on. We knew her as
'Tank', because that's what everyone calls her. She was the only girl in our group, and
had a lot of sense. Her little brother logged on an hour after we did, extremely
depressed. She was murdered. Her room was covered in blood, and there was a note
in the middle of it. It read "We... are... chosen... for... justice...death...shall...take...us..
all...."
I couldn't believe it. After her funeral, I looked at the news clipping again. I wanted to
see if the murderer was there. I was shocked to find that a sega saturn was hooked up
to her tv, and it was turned on. The real problem was that she never owned a sega
saturn. Nowadays, sega saturns are outdated. All of a sudden, my friend called me.
He was breathing quickly, panicked. He told me that some kind of ghost was haunting
him.
"M..Marty!! Th...this is L..Lee. L--llisten man. This is very serious!! I... I Just saw the
freakin’ Tails Doll, man! I..ITS IN MY ROOM!! DUDE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME, MAN!!!" At that moment, I dropped the phone. The thoughts
that kept rushing in my head were, 'Oh my god.... what have we DONE??? We have
angered the Tails Doll! This is bad, this is real bad....' Again, I picked up the phone. I
tried to see who was on the other line. A dark, sadistic voice came from the other end.
"Can...you...feel...the...sunshine...?"
The phone suddenly hung up. My skin literally turned white as I learned later that my
friend Lee was chopped up into little pieces, and stuffed into a gore-soaked plush
bear with a blood red ribbon chocking its neck. There was a message with the bear.
"Would you like flowers with your valentine?" it read.
I heard that the bear was buried in a casket. I was upset, because he died single. I
wanted him to find the one he was looking for, but that plan has now ended in a total
failure.
Another friend of mine, named Nick, was with us when we made fun of the Tails Doll. I
was worried, so I got onto yahoo messenger to contact him. We decided to stay away
from skype until the crisis was over. I told him what happened to Lee, and he stood
there in shock. Nick does believe in the Tails Doll, and he started to freak out. "Whoa
- whoa! Wait...do..do you hear that?? OH MY GOD DO YOU HEAR THAT???" "Hear
what?" I asked in confusion. I could hear him shift his microphone in a random
direction... and I heard a moaning voice. I shuddered "NICK!! QUICK! GET OUT OF
THERE!!" I heard him dash away quickly, and the ominous voice just seemed to
disappear with him. I haven’t heard from him since. A few days later, his sister said
that she found his insides ripped from his chest and were wrapped around his dead
body, as he lay there with no face.
This worried me, so I ran to my friend, Elick’s house, where his older sister died. He
still was grief-stricken because of the loss of a family member. I talked to him about
the Tails Doll killing Nick and what his little sister said. The news wasn't taken lightly,
and he started to shiver. "Oh no! First my sister, then Lee...and now... Nick? I always
knew the Tails Doll was real. We need to figure out a way to stop it! There must be
some way." I rushed over to his desktop computer. "I know! Let’s google it!"
We googled ways to defeat the Tails Doll, but they were all weird and some were
about ads. "This isn't working," he said, looking down at the ground and walking off. I
thought that there would be some way to destroy the Tails Doll, but I was wrong. All of
a sudden, I heard an alarming scream from the other room. When I ran in there, it was
too late. His body was gone, replaced with a twisted and grisly carcass. There was a
clown head that had his face, smiling and dripping of blood. It had red hair, and
spiders came out of its neck.
I heard an ominous voice... saying "Who...will...it...be...?" and dissipating immediately.
I heard the TV on, so I looked behind me. I saw a sega saturn, hooked up to the TV.
"He's going to kill us all! If only we'd known this would happen!" I ran over to their
phone and called 911, and then told his and my parents. I told them everything I saw
and everything that was happening to my friends on skype. They thought I was
insane, but after they saw the victim they believed me. They confiscated the sega
saturn and took me to the hospital, so I could heal from my trauma.
That was the last time I ever heard about the Tails Doll.

Samuelthegreenfox is looking for a friend, as well as a way to control his powers…
Hi, I’m Samuelthegreenfox. Call me Samuel for short.
I am in search for allies against this monster, the doll made my life a bloody nightmare.
I should start from the beginning…
I believed. Oh, I believed alright, but I was curious, and terrified my pal Sonic the
Shapeshifter was one of the few who survived and I may be next.
I need to find her and maybe we can join forces...
Little did I know that I didn’t need to play Sonic R to awaken him. I felt frozen solid
when I looked behind me, and slowly I saw the dreaded menace. He clutched a bloody
knife, with gore splattered everywhere. I dared not look into his eyes, but I blacked
out.
I woke in a forest at nighttime; the doll then appeared across the plains and beckoned
me like he wanted to fight me.
See, I have a power - a power I’m not meant to use for many reasons. One reason is
that it could kill me if I use it too much. At this point, I didn’t have much of a choice.
I swung my arm like I would with a sword and I started to smoke with green aura. A
vibrant green sword appeared in my hand
"Let's do this, ya’ cotton coward!"
We rushed at each other and before we collided, he quickly grew his claws and
terrifying teeth. When we passed each other, all was silent.
*Slash* *Slash* *Schlurrrrrrrppp*
"I cant win this alone. I need to get to my friend," I thought. "Hey, you know what else i
can do," I taunted the doll.
*warp*
Even as I was warping, I heard the doll’s demonic screams. I warped straight to Sonic
(the shapeshifter)'s house. I was bloody and shredded, and almost dead. I knocked
on the door and there she was, ready for a fight.
Ten days passed, and then I decided to let you guys in on my close encounter.
'Till next time!
-Samuel

Coby Hampton had a brush with the curse…
So one day, my brother invited his friend to sleep over. Very late at night, I ran into his
room because I heard noises. My brother (let's call him C) was asleep, while his friend
(K) was on YouTube watching a Tails Doll video. I asked him what it was and K told me.
So, I started to watch the videos when I fell asleep to a strange dream. I was in a dark
room with a song about sunshine playing. I heard a thing walking around and I said
"Who's there?"
"This is my favorite song, you know. Oh, by the way, don't bother
playing the game," the creature said.
"Who are you?" I yelled.
"Let me give you a hint," It said.
Then a red light glowed in the darkness.
"Let me go!!" I yelled.
"Fine. But tell all your friends. I don't need boundaries of that stupid disk anymore." It
said.
"Oh my God. You’re the Tails Doll." I shouted.
"One more thing. Do you feel the sunshine?" Tails Doll said.
I woke up and immediately goggled up Tails Doll. I came across something scary.
There was a picture that said "Do you feel the sunshine?"
I told my friends about it and they think I'm crazy. So this is the only place that I can
tell my story. I do this a lot. I have to go.
____________________________________________________________________
xXAshimusPrimeXx wrote us last year. Now she returns with an update to her
situation...
This is xXAshimusPrimeXx again, and I believe the Tails Doll has found me.
How do I know this? When I originally made my first message, it was back in 2009.
On October 9th of 2009, my uncle passed away due to illness. Wither or not the Tails
Doll had anything to do with it has been bugging me, and I'm not happy at all. My
uncle was a great man loved by many. The Tails Doll is going to pay for what he has
done.
At times I can see a red light when I walk around the house at night, then it goes away.
The Tails Doll is here and I know it. It also explains why my dog, Shadow, starts to
bark at night.
He hasn't been able to enter my room for a strange reason. Being a fan of
Transformers, I have three Optimus Prime action figures in my room. Could they be
protecting me? This is uncertain, but I have a feeling that they are. The action figures
of the Autobot Leader I look up to are protecting me from the Tails Doll.
At times I hear fighting sounds in my room as well, even over my music that I have
playing at night. I also have three guardian angels, I have a feeling that they are
protecting me as well. But for how long can they keep this up? That is also unknown.
It looks like if the Tails Doll wants me, he's going to have to keep fighting all six of my
protectors, in order to get to me. Even if I am cursed, there is no way the Tails Doll will
be able to get my soul. For now...
UPDATE: That was in April. This new letter recently arrived.
This is xXAshimusPrimeXx again and I have good reason to believe that the Tails Doll
is toying with me, or trying to. I had my first nightmare that had that... thing in it.
I remember the nightmare vividly. I was playing my Xbox 360 Elite, what game I was
playing I don't know for sure... But it looked a bit like Halo: Reach. This makes sense
because I had watched a trailer for Halo: Reach before I called it a night and went to
bed. Anyways, I had accidentally betrayed one of my teammates in Social Slayer, and
just as I was about to send a message apologizing, since it was an accident, I received
two messages from one of the players in the match. The one that I foolishly opened
said something like this "Walkthrough to Sonic R from TailsDoll123". I had known
about the Tails Doll in my nightmare as well, but to be honest I didn't think anything of
the username as I opened the message. As soon as I opened it the family room
television screen went black, so I just assumed that the power went out, but then it
showed it. Before it showed the Tails Doll I had a feeling in my gut to get away from
the television, so I quickly got up and jolted to the hallway, before the Tails Doll
showed up on the television.
(On a side note, I have never played Sonic R before in my life, but I have heard of it
from other people who have submitted to your site.)
Even though it only seemed to be some type of 3-D flash video of the Tails Doll
playing on the family room television, I was still afraid. I glanced over at the family
room computer and noticed that it had "... ..." on the screen, background, and all of
the shortcuts on the screen, which only increased my fears. I incisively ran to my dad's
bedroom and asked in fear "D-dad? Can you turn off the family room TV for me? I'm
too afraid too..." he didn't reply, but he did nod. He was watching "Cops" on his
television. I felt slightly reassured as I began to walk to my room, which wasn't too far
from my dad's room, but then I had a feeling that I was in danger.
At this point I woke up with a start, because somehow I was able to pull myself free
from the nightmare. Out of both instinct and the urge to feel safe, I grabbed my
Optimus Prime plushie that was right next to me, and began to cling to him tightly as I
closed my eyes. But that did not do me much good, because I soon as I closed my
eyes, I saw an outline of the Tails Doll... It was inside of my head. I began to panic as I
looked over at the deer mount that was in the guest bedroom, and I nearly had a
heart attack, when I confused it for the Tails Doll.
(Another side note, I have poor eye sight and have to wear glasses when I am awake,
so this explains why I confused the deer mount for the Tails Doll, especially after just
waking up from a nightmare that had it toying with me.)
I felt my heart rate rise quickly, as I buried my face in my Optimus Prime plushie's
back, and started to breathe quickly. But I realized right then that I was giving the Tails
Doll what it wanted, a reaction. My reaction of fear was exactly what it wanted. As soon
as I realized this, I began to slow down my breathing, which in turn, began to slow
down my heart rate. The Tails Doll didn't give up then, but he never showed himself
outside of my mind. While the Tails Doll tried to make me afraid of it again, I dug in my
mind for all of the weaknesses I knew about the Tails Doll.
I tried to ignore it, I tried to think of other things, but it would do it's best to get my
attention and try to scare me. I had finally had enough "I need my MP3 player NOW." I
said as I grabbed my Walkman MP3 player, and changed the song to "Endless
Possibilities" from the Sonic Unleashed soundtrack. The Tails Doll flinched when he
heard the song, but that's all that happened. I felt my fear go away and became more
confident, as I then listened to the Transformers theme song made by the band
Deceptibots in 2007. Amazingly the Tails Doll was affected by this song more than
"Endless Possibilities", and without missing a beat, I switched to "Till All Are One" by
Stan Bush, and that dealt the finishing blow. The Tails Doll faded away as I felt safer
than before, and I then cuddled my Optimus Prime plushie, knowing that in a way... he
helped protect me. After a few moments I pressed pause on my MP3 player, moved up
the switch that said "Hold", and then finally I turned my MP3 player off and placed it on
the desk next to me. Within a few seconds or so I was able to fall back asleep. It was
around 6:10 AM (Eastern Standard Time) in the morning when everything settled
down, and I completely fell asleep.
Ever since what happened earlier today, I haven't seen any signs of the Tails Doll.
xXAshimusPrimeXx: 1, Tails Doll: 0.
I may have won this round, but I fear that this will not be the last time I will have to deal
with the Tails Doll.
Until next time, xXAshimusPrimeXx out.

Uh, oh. Looks like we’ve lost another comrade, and gained a new enemy according to
this intercepted message from Fred Whisenant.
Tails Doll, I don't know if you are reading this, but you may be. My name is Fred
Whisenant, and I wish to join you. My only requests are as follows (though I doubt they
will be granted): I wish to say goodbye to one person, and I wish for everyone to forget
about me, though I suspect that would already happen.
I hereby pledge my soul to you, the one and only true Tails Doll.
I wish to feel the Sunshine firsthand, and only through you may this occur.
I hereby give up my past life in order to willingly serve ye.
I am your willing servant, and you are, if you so choose, my wondrous Master.
If I be a Pure Soul, then I apologize to everyone else, but you are soon doomed.
Tails Dolls Forever. Teiruzudōru eien.
____________________________________________________________________
Demon God returns with a new tale – this one about his escape!
It's me, Demon God again. Last time I told you Tails Doll made me his servant. Well, I
found how to escape...... I met somebody there who was friendly and we both wanted
to get away from Tails Doll's base, and he knew EVERYTHING about Tails Doll. Then
we tried something I came up with.
We went into Tails Doll's bathroom after 11:00 AM and stood in front of the mirror and
sang "It Doesn't Matter" backwards. Then, the mirror broke and there was an exit
behind it. We both escaped!
I came back home, excited to see my parents, when I saw them DEAD ON THE
KITCHEN FLOOR! I was so scared, sad, and angry all at the same time. I vowed
revenge against Tails Doll. He probably hated me since I broke out of his base. I
started writing a book about Tails Doll, since I was a top-notch Tails Doll hater.
Eventually, the Tails Doll sought me out. He said, "I'll ask you what I did before. Will
you be my servant, or will you accept DEATH? "Neither," I said. I sang "It doesn't
matter" backwards, and Tails Doll canceled it out by singing "Livivg in the City"
backwards. I thought I was going to DIE, so I just ran as fast as I could to Wal-Mart to
get a Sonic plush, but then I realized something: A Sonic Plush didn't work before, so
WHY would it work then?
So, then I just kept running. The Tails Doll caught up to me and nearly killed me
before I said the following words: "Please play with me!" Tails Doll then said "W-w-
what? You'll play with me even after I killed your Mom and Dad?" I responded, "Yes,
because I know that's all you ever wanted. A friend!" Tails Doll said, "Thank you! Let's
go now!" I then caught him off guard, knocked him down, and picked up the knife he
dropped. I then said, "Only if you give back all the souls you stole will I play with you."
Tails Doll said," NEVER! THOSE PEOPLE HATED ME!" So, I cut off the antennae
connecting the jewel to his head and he disappeared. I'm hiding from him now,
though, because I'm SURE he's alive looking for me.
Can You Feel the Sunshine? I sure as heck can.

Christine 'Scream Queen' Parker provides us these killer cantos...
The night was fateful. My life's not the same
since I found the Sonic R game.
I played until my fingers bled
and blood came rushing to my head.
I couldn't tell what was real or fake.
My Mom told me to take a break.
But I didn't listen -- I never did,
for I was just a foolish kid.
Mom yelled "are you listening to what I'm saying?"
I just ignored her and kept on playing.
My sister, Lee, she joined the fight,
said I'd get in trouble -- she was right...
I knew that something wasn't right,
when I was awoke that night.
Strangely, I heard someone sing
Samara's song from “The Ring.”
"Here we go, the world is spinning.
When it stops, its just beginning...
Sun comes up, we live and we cry.
Sun goes down, and then we all die..."
This eerie music drew me out,
It cleared my mind of fear and doubt.
I heard its melody and sang along,
but it began to change the song.
I followed its rhythm. I followed its rhyme
and I soon began to walk in time.
"One, Two,
I'm coming for you.
Three, Four,
Better lock your door.
Five, Six,
Grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight,
Gotta stay up late.
Nine, ten..."
The haunting melody changed again,
I wondered why it stopped at ten.
All of a sudden, I was filled with fright
as I saw the burning crimson light.
A furry body followed along,
as I discovered who was singing the song.
"Who are you?" I asked fearfully,
as the thing grabbed hold of me.
"I have lived here all along.
I am what has come and gone.
I am an angel of death, a beast against humanity,
hanging off the edge of insanity..."
That was the answer to my question.
The fleeting moment filled up with tension.
"What do you mean? What's your name?"
I asked a question once again.
I was always such a curious girl,
but this had made my confidence furl.
"I'm the Tails Doll..." the creature replied
with a smile of bloodthirsty pride.
Now I knew this creature's goal,
he had come to steal my soul!
After what the Tails Doll said,
I began to run. I fled.
Screaming, crying, I let out a yelp;
An ever-so-desperate shriek for help.
I foolishly stumbled, tripping;
he slashed, I felt my bare flesh ripping .
My blood flowed hot and red,
If not for my alarm I'd be dead.
I woke up. It was a brand new day.
I lied, "Ha! I wasn't scared of him anyway!"
I noticed when walking down the halls,
“TAILS DOLL” was scribbled on the walls.
My stomach began to twist into a knot.
Blood was splattered - a lot.
I ran to see Lee tucked up in bed.
I also found that our mom was dead,
a bloodstained body with no head!
I begged my sister to awake, pulling her hair.
The teen girl moaned, but she saw who was there.
Lee noticed our mother's headless carcass and shrieked at the sight,
but when she saw the Tails Doll she filled up with twice the fright.
I saw the Tails Doll drop to his knees whilst we were in the fix.
It was my sissy's necklace - it was her crucifix!
The holy cross had weakened him, then the rising of the sun.
At that moment, the creature vanished, we both knew the beast was done.
"What the hell was that?" Lee sobbed and asked.
"The Tails Doll, Sis. We need to get out fast!"
I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the car.
Terrified, we have travelled long and far.
We'll be scared for all our days.
Tails Doll's watching us, always...
- Christine 'Scream Queen' Parker.
P.S, cAn yOu fEEl thE sUnshInE???

Sacorguy79 didn’t even play the game, but that doesn’t mean he can escape the
Doll's curse...
I, Sacorguy79, had had a close encounter with the Doll. It started out a while ago,
when I had seen too much to handle.
Me and my two friends were walking downtown when we noticed a new store, selling
videogames old and new. My first friend suggested "Maybe we should visit? Maybe
see if they have any games for my SEGA Saturn?" My second friend and I nodded
and we walked in.
It was very cool inside. Lots of videogame posters, games, consoles, you name it,
were there. My first friend asked one of the shopkeepers where the SEGA Saturn
games were. He directed us to the right shelves and we browsed. That's when we
noticed it. My second friend picked up a copy of Sonic R and stared at it. We all gave
each other uneasy looks and he asked about the game. The shopkeeper said that he
didn't know anything about the game and said that it should still work though.
"I have to use the bathroom," I said as a rushed to the restrooms. As I walked in, I
used one, and I went to wash my hands. But as I turned on the tap, blood poured out
instead of water. I panicked, and ran out. As I got the shopkeeper and my friends to
come in, I showed them the blood. My first friend looked like he was going to faint, my
second friend plugged his nose from the stench, and the shopkeeper examined it. "I
have no idea how this happened, but someone must be pulling a prank," he said. I
told them I'd call the police to investigate, and I hurried out. Outside, I noticed a large
board. Behind a bunch of other notices, there was one that read, "I'm coming for you.
T.D."
Later that night, I said goodbye to my friends and I ran back to my house. I took a
shortcut through an alley which I knew well, because it had loads of graffiti on it. But I
stopped for one second and looked at some of the tagging. I’d never see it before, but
it smelled like blood.
It read, "11:25."
It was blood!
I ran faster to my house, almost as if I was going faster than the speed of sound. "He's
coming for me... Got to make it back before he does..."
At my house, I was alone; watching TV like any normal idiot would do when he's
cursed. Then my friend called. I asked him about the game, and he said, "There's
something wrong with it." "What is it?" I asked. "The CD is missing, for one thing.
Stranger still, when I opened the case, I heard a voice saying, 'Your closest friend will
be my first victim.'" I panicked, and said, "But I’m your closest friend!!!" He then
replied, "Listen, I called you to warn you. Get out any possible weapons to protect
yourself! I'll come and help you!" I told him I would, and we hung up.
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from the basement. I grabbed an airsoft gun and
slowly descended down the stairs. I looked into my father's workshop and saw a red
glowing light.
*SCHLUMPY*
I fired many airsoft pellets, but the doll wasn't affected. I dropped the gun and ran
upstairs like mad, but the Tails Doll was following me.
I opened a closet, and found my father’s MP5 pistol. "Perfect." I said to myself, taking
aim. The Doll charged at me, but was shot from behind. He growled, and turned
around. My two friends were there, one holding a smoking gun. I fired my pistol at the
doll, and they did the same. Cotton flew everywhere. We were screaming like mad.
Soon enough, the Doll was down and out.
The next day, I sent the doll in a package to Germany, with instructions for whoever
opened it to burn the remains. My friends and I were partying, and I went to the
basement to grab some Coke. As I was getting some, I saw a little post-it note that
read, "I will come back for you. T.D." I rolled my eyes, saying to myself, "Nah, he's
probably in Germany by now."

The Tails Doll strikes again, in Connor S.’s tale...
I was playing Sonic R. At the time, I thought it was a sweet and innocent game. I had
finally unlocked all the racers, maps, and all chaos emeralds, and won the race on
Radiant Emerald. After the credits, I decided to play time attack, where I saw the "Tag
4 characters" option. I thought it was pretty cool. Boy, was I wrong.
I selected the Tails Doll. I decided to tag them one by one, from bottom to top. Stupid
idea! After I tagged Super Sonic, The lights went out! The game immediately went
back to the character select screen. The odd thing was, over part of the screen
where the the Tails Doll was located, was a dark red blood stain. I rubbed it out, and
to my horror, the doll was GONE.
I felt something tap my shoulder. I slowly turned around. To my terror, the Doll was
hovering there behind me, singing "Can you Feel the Sunshine" over and over.

Nick C. sends us this warning...
I am writing this story to warn you all about something urgent! Allow me to explain.
I was at my local pawn shop looking at the voodoo dolls, when suddenly I came upon
something a bit out of place -- The Tails Doll. I was a Sonic fan, so needless to say a
purchased the item, mildly amused by the toy.
I put it in my closet when I got home. I then left the room for an hour or so. When I
came back, I discovered a message on the wall, written in blood. It read "you have
purchased your own doom." I immediately blamed my older brother. I called for him,
but to no effect. I went in to his room, only to find him twisted and burnt to death.
Mentally, I was completely broken. I looked for my legal guardians, only to find them
posed in lifelike poses but dead nevertheless.
My sanity was running through ash-soaked, bloody fingers, but I pressed on. I was
running out of ideas, so I went to my room, where I found the Tails Doll standing
upright, holding three objects -- a knife, an axe bottle, and a lighter. I was complete
terrified, so I tossed the closed thing I could reach, which happened to be a Tails
figure I had on my dresser. After it struck the Tails Doll, he began letting out a
disturbing, ear-shattering screech. It melted to a puddle of yellow liquid. The only
thing left was his red orb. Later, I burned the orb in my fireplace. A few seconds later,
I saw my brother come in to the room and say "hey Bro." I was baffled - my whole
family was back!
I tried to tell them, but no one believed me.
____________________________________________________________________
Our good friend, Sal T. Dillo, returns. Will he escape the doll in this new tale?
My plan seems to have worked.
Don’t get excited, its not good news. It probably means the Doll knows my plan and is
simply humoring me for his sick entertainment. However, I have to hold on to the hope
that this isn’t the case, however pathetic that may sound. Here’s how it happened: I
gathered a group of slaves who seemed to harbor the most intense detestation
toward the Tails Doll and ordered that they attacked him. Foolishly, they considered
this a good idea and immediately sauntered off to just that. Naturally, to say they
ended up steaming piles of ash on the floor would be an understatement.
I made it fairly obvious that I was the mastermind behind the whole scheme by
adopting a pretense anxiety the next day, though I’m sure I didn’t need to. It wasn’t
long before he called me out, though not for the reason I had anticipated. He actually
applauded me on my attempt at deposing him but said that my strategy needed work,
after which he immediately dismembered me.
Since I was still a moderately useful pawn in his little game, he allowed me to survive
despite my injuries with little more than scars to mark which of my limbs he severed
from my body. He then demoted my back to my former position, for which I was
thankful. In any case, that was yesterday.
Today is was my first day out of the lair since becoming a taskmaster. Either this world
had become more appealing since my last surfacing or I’d actually come to miss this
wretched place. Both possibilities were equally revolting. Regardless, I didn’t stay to
admire the scenery for too long as the Tails Doll would send trackers after me if I
wasn’t back before sunset. I’ve received from an anonymous source (by which I mean
a random passerby) the name of the one pure of heart. Though it took multiple tries, I
eventually found someone who knew of whom I was speaking. He happened to be a
regular on this site. He told me the person I was looking for went by the name of
Ethan, and that he was last spotted early winter at an old diner on Route 99. I was
thankful for the advice, so I killed him swiftly and was on my way. Route 99 is a long
road to travel, and its beginning is already far enough from where I am. I know it’s a
shaky lead, especially considering he was supposedly there months ago, but it’s all I
have to go on. I’ll report again later.
It’s been five days since I began my excursion to California. I’ve finally reached the
southernmost point of the United States, and from here I will follow route 99 North and
see if I can find anything. Until then, allow me to tell you about my journey so far. I
began my trip on the east coast, heading southwest toward the lower west corner of
the US. After only one day, I could tell that the trackers were on my tail. I may not have
told you about the trackers before. It may sound like some occupation, just like
soulsearchers and taskmasters. Let me tell you right now that this is not the case. ”
Tracker” is a rank reserved for only the most unruly of servants. They are reduced to
little more -- nay, no more than slobbering savages bent on carnage. The Tails Doll
loathes having to turn to them because not only are they the lowest form of life on the
planet, but they also create quite a ruckus on the surface world. However, they are
absolutely indispensable when it comes to finding wayward slaves. This is because
the process used to create these atrocities makes them more responsive to their
senses of smell and hearing, making them the ultimate tracking machines. I apologize
to all machines for making that analogy.
Sorry, I’ve kind of gotten off track. Sometimes I go to extreme measures to be sure I’m
not getting ahead of myself. In any case, I had at least five of these things on my tail
by dawn of the second day. I was making good time, but the trackers were no doubt
making better. Desperately, I tried to find the nearest road and hitchhike. A gruff
looking old man was the first person to stop. Quickly, I ripped the driver’s door open,
most likely breaking the lock mechanism, and threw the man out before hopping in the
driver’s seat and gunning it. In retrospect, I don’t know why I didn’t brutally slaughter
the man. I’m probably going soft as the Tails Doll’s influence fades. After two days of
driving, and multiple refills, my lead foot had a negative toll on the truck. I didn’t think
about it too much since the thing was probably already about twice as old as me
anyhow. Once I was convinced the truck didn’t have a mile left in it, I ran it off the road
and into a brook running alongside it. From that point, I walked in the stream for as far
as I could in an attempt to throw the trackers off my scent. It worked to an extent, but
they eventually began to catch up to me again. At this point, I was just a day away
from my destination, so I tried to steal another car, but to no avail, though I was sure
there would be plenty in California. About noon of the fifth day is when the trackers
finally found me.
The head of the pack was probably about a mile ahead of the others, and I was able
to take it down with ease. However, more trouble would probably arise once the others
arrived. In a ditch effort to survive, I took the clothes from the maimed body of the
tracker I had just killed and threw my own as far away as I could. Then I rubbed up
against the trackers body to get as much of its scent as I could before dumping the
cadaver in a nearby pond. When the other trackers arrived, I had no trouble
whatsoever. They headed off toward the smell of my clothes, giving me time to
escape. Not much later, I arrived at an interstate and was effortlessly able to hijack a
vehicle. So that basically explains everything that’s happened since my last message.
I’ll be sure to let you know when I find something.

Young Yoshi sends us this tale…
I decided to post some of my encounters with the Tails Doll.
First of all, I've been having dreams about "HIM.” It is daytime, right, and my parents
are home so this should be safe to send. In my first dream, I had a Tails Doll. His gem
blinked, and then I woke up. After that, I had a second dream. I dreamt that Club
Penguin came out with a new game. So, I checked it out, but when I was facing sensei,
he turned into the Tails Doll -- then I woke up.
Before I talk about my third, you might want to Google play “Tails Nightmare,” because
that’s where this dream takes place. I was controlling Tails, and he went into a red
portal. Then I accidently ran him in a lake of tar. In the fourth dream, the same thing
happened.
Outside of dreams, I have had no encounters yet.
So first I started out like most people, finding out about "him" reading about "him"
studying "him," then I made a journal so if he attacked me than someone would know
about it. Unlike most, I actually believed it. Then I did the curse. No character popping
out the screen. "I knew it was fake,” I told myself. I knew I was lying to myself. Then, I
started seeing signs. No, I wasn’t being paranoid. I keep seeing a red dot outside my
window. If I have a sleepover with one of my friends, I might do the curse again tonight.
____________________________________________________________________
Adam Duffield returns, with the stunning finale to his tale...
It is winter again and I am cold.
I walk down the frozen streets under the cover of midnight, even my long coat doesn’t
protect me from the chill that passes through my skin and reaches deep into my
bones. I watch the bright lights speed down the black road, temporarily blinding me,
but I don’t mind; it almost feels good. The street lamps lonely glow allows me to step
out of the shadows, if only for a second.
Yeah, I’m defiantly a night person.
I tilt my head upwards to gaze at the billions of stars that look down upon me. A small
smile spreads across my face as I recite the list to myself “Volume 9, Volume 11 and
Volume 16” I mutter to myself “If I make it through this, I’ve got to go read them again”
I need proof, that this is actually happening to me…"
It’s been roughly two years since this began, sometimes my mind wanders back to the
day my seemingly perfect life got drenched with blood. Why’d he buy that game? I
think to myself it’s not even that good. He was a fool to the day he died.
I buy a hot chocolate and sit on a wall; these might be my last moments – I’m not quite
ready to go just yet.
I sigh, and think back to all that has happened in the past two years; the murders, the
prison and he horror. Between now and the day I escaped from his wretched prison I
have witnessed 14 separate corpses, victims to the curse. The tails doll curse. They
say if you play Sonic R with the Tails Doll, he’ll come find you.
I stare deep into the empty cup, peering into the darkness. My stare holds for
seconds, I feel as if I’m about to fall into the large gaping hole.
“Alright!” I shout in what I tried be an upbeat tone “It’s now or never, let’s go! Yeah!...”
I do a small hop off the wall and make my way slowly towards my old house. I open the
door for the first time in two years, and step into the darkness. I dare not to turn on
the lights; something inside of me prevents my hand from reaching the light switch.
On my way to my old bedroom, I take a stop at my parents’ bedroom. I feel my
stomach clench. Oh yes, I saw the news story. The fist tightens its grip. Of how two
adults were found in their house. Dead: beads for eyes… and an antenna sticking out
of their foreheads. I sigh, and move on forwards.
As I reach into my coat pocket, and pull out a small disc, I feel a strange sensation
building up inside of me. Fear? Anticipation? I’m not quite sure.
As casually as I can; I switch my gamecube on, choose my character, and choose my
course.
“Well, what IS this?”
I swallow hard and stand up. The screen picks up static and starts to lose focus. The
room becomes darker, not just dark; completely black. The windows fade and are
replaced with a hellish red glow.
I stand up and take a step back, the controller still in my left hand.
“I guess I should’ve thought twice when I thought you were dead.”
“Yeah” I say, my voice shaking a little “I guess you should have!” I fling the controller
as hard as my arm would allow me, into the screen of the television. To my surprise
the screen shatters, the glass pieces falling down onto the hard surface. I stare into
the empty hole of the screen, the anticipation is murder. Long limbs reach slowly out
of the screen; two horrible red eyes stare at me from within.
”Ohhh, nice comeback! You just don’t get it do you?” The voice isn’t just coming from
the broken television; it is emitting from the entire room “I can decide who lives and
who dies. You have the curse now, which means you won’t be breathing for much
longer, human”
Faster than I could blink, that thing throws itself forward, hitting me hard in the chest. I
fell my breath escape me, as the doll starts clawing and scratching. I fall to my knees
in agony I can’t move my arms. How the hell am I going to…?
I hit the floor on my back with a dull thud. Clambering for breath, I try to get up, but am
pushed back down. The doll’s face hangs in front of me. I see the horror in my face
reflected in his beady eyes.
“You pathetic worm. You think you’re special? All you’ve done is cheat death. Well...
now you time is up.”
The seams around his mouth start to rip. A set of sickeningly stained metallic teeth
are now visible. Panic spreads across every inch of my body; in a frantic bid to
escape I kick him off me and run as hard as I can. He doesn’t chase me. He just lies
upon the floor, laughing at me. He finds all this hilarious
I stop in my tracks. Dammit he’s right! I can’t get away.
“Just give up; I don’t want to have to chase you. I want to save my energy… I want to
enjoy carving you into little pieces….” He continues to laugh an awful laugh.
Ugh…
He keeps laughing, starting to float towards me slowly. I put my hands to my ears; the
laughter is cutting me like a knife. A quick glance to the left and my fear is replaced
with a kind of smugness I haven’t felt in years. I quickly turn back to the Tails Doll.
“Looks like you won’t be hurting anyone again!”
I leap sideways through the dark red windows, falling for an eternity until I finally land,
hard on the black floor. Picking myself up, I look upwards at the silhouette of the doll. I
slowly pick up a jagged shard of glass form the window, and ready myself. The doll fell
down towards me, limbs flying frantically, a ghastly look upon its face. His piercing
laugh echoes around me as the shard of glass enters his body.
“Laugh it up. But I’ve figured you out,” I shout, gasping for air. With my free hand I
grabbed the diamond at the end of his antenna.
“This looks important,” I yell, crushing it in the palm of my hand. The crystalline
splinters brake through my skin, and it hurts, but it is worth it. His laughter turns into a
maniac scream. I try to stop myself but I looked down at him.
He releases his grip upon me and crumples to the floor. His eyes are different now,
the horrifying anger I had once seen is replaced with a strange emptiness. His limp
body starts to shake, and deep red blood seeps through the seams, pouring upon the
black floor. I find myself wondering about the doll, what exactly was it? How did it do
the things it did, and why did it do it?
Screw it. I don’t want to know.
I watch the blood run dry, leaving behind nothing but the fragmented remains of its
diamond.
I fall backwards, exhausted. My wounds hurt, and looking down I see that he got me
one last time with fresh claw marks in my stomach. It must have got me at the time I
stabbed him I thought as I picked myself up. Looking around I see that the moon has
returned, helping me see my whereabouts. I am outside my house, sitting on the
garden. Looking up, I can see the broken window.
As of now, I’m sitting on a park bench, in enormous amounts of pain. Ugh, what do I do
now? Probably go to hospital. I’ve always hated hospitals, but they might be able to
stop this bleeding. Of course, if there’s nothing they can do it won’t be the worst
thing. I don’t care anymore. At least it’s all over now.
Please God, let all this be over.
____________________________________________________________________
We’ve warned you not to try the bathroom curse, but Donna Thompson had to learn
that lesson the hard way...
I tried to resist but HE got the best of me.
It happened last week. I thought the Tails Doll looked kinda cute, y’know? So I
bought some fabrics and stuff to make one for me. I waited until Monday, so I could
work on him.
On Monday, I sewed and sewed until he was perfect - except he had no gem. I took a
fake diamond I had, and painted it red I then glued it to the doll. I waited for it to dry,
and then I claimed my prize. I had finished a Tails Doll of my own.
Later that night, I read about the bathroom curse, so I tried it in my hallway bathroom
(which by the way has a lock that sticks when it’s being used). I turned off the lights
and listened to “Can You Feel the Sunshine” backwards. When the song finished, I
looked at both of the mirrors in the bathroom and I saw a red light. The light grew
stronger and stronger, until I could make out a familiar shape. It was the Doll. I wasn’t
worried, until I saw he held something in his hand. It was a small nub of something that
glistened wetly in the dim light. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a severed
human finger!
With the gory end, he wrote “Can you feel the sunshine, my child?” on my mirror. I
ran to the door, but forgot I locked it. I tried to undo the lock but it was stuck. I
panicked and tried the light but it was out. I waited, but then I heard a knocking on the
door. It was my mom. She wanted to use the bathroom.
Suddenly, the doll vanished and the light came back on. I looked at myself in the
mirror but I saw no reflection, only the doll staring back at me with a twisted smile on
his face.

Redfoxgurl89 is back, with an update on her situation...
Hey. It's redfoxgurl89 again and I have good news and bad news. The good news is
that I'm still alive. The bad news is that the Tails Doll paid me another visit recently
and I think that I am marked for death.
I'm sure you all remember my last story about my encounter. Well, after that, I decided
not to play the game ever again. In fact, I had even forgotten (God forbid, how could I
ever forget that horror?) about the Tails Doll's visit during the summer.
It still comes in my dreams. Just a few nights ago and gave me a little offer, one that I
gladly refused. It was one of those stereotypical "give me your soul and I'll give you
power" deals. I plainly told him no. I expected him to kill me after that, but instead he
spared my life, which is strange. I still don't think I'm off the hook, though. As I said
earlier, I think I may be marked as one of his enemies. I can feel him watching me
sometimes as I sleep...but for some reason he won't touch me. I don't think I'm a pure
soul or anything special, but if he tries to come again, I'll let you know.

Bob Rob and his friend O Dog used to post on this site three years ago. Here’s an
update...
I have not posted in a while – say, 3 years. I’m not sure if this website is still going.
You might remember me and my friend O Dog.
Why, why has it not come yet? My life sucks. I’m a nice guy! I am a good person, yet
he never comes or shows any signs. Is he torturing me from afar, by leaving me
alive? I almost broke my knee two weeks ago over nothing. I was walking and I just
randomly fell, almost falling right on a slab of cement sticking out of the ground. I was
able to just barely get out of the way. I also keep cutting myself on objects you
wouldn't even think of getting cuts from.
What’s happening to me?! Why does my life suck? Please help me!

Allen T. writes us with an account of his life since playing the cursed game...
I'm a normal kid, I guess, and have recently stumbled upon this website. The following
is what you would call it an experiment, when I tried to prove it was all a hoax.
Six days ago, I bought the Sonic R game. I ran through instruction manual (because it
was an old game) and everything seemed to be alright so far. I started playing it for a
while, and soon after unlocked the Tails Doll. At first, I was like "Hey, maybe I could
get 100% by tomorrow."
I got so into it, it was getting addicting. And very soon I reached my goal. I took a
break after that and watched Adult Swim. I had fallen asleep, and awoke to the sound
of fabric rubbing against the floor. I thought it was my imagination and went back to
sleep.
The eerie things occurred in this order:
Day 1: Strange sounds of fabric.
Day 2: Sight of something red out of the corner of my eye.
Day 3: What seemed to me like computer generated voices breaking in
and out, chanting “'an-'u-'eel-'un-'ine.”
Day 4: Nothing significant.
Day 5: My TV turning on and off.
Day 6: Craving to play the game, while hearing harsh, scratching noises at night.
I'm on my seventh day so I wanted to post this beforehand. I don’t know what will
come next. I don’t want to know.

Tanner (from the last volume) returns, with an update on his reoccurring nightmare. It
seems the real nightmare is just beginning...
Date: July 23, 2010
Hey, it’s Tanner again, giving you an update on how I’m doing from a motel with free
Wi-Fi (ya, it’s kind of strange that this motel has wireless internet). Anyways, I have
some good news and maybe some bad news. The good news is, I am not part of the
doll’s army. The bad news is, I think that I’m being hunted down by the doll’s army.
Why am I being chased? I don’t know for sure, but it might have something to do with
my dream, or there might be something about me that the Tails Doll is hiding. Let me
explain.
It was the night before the Tails Doll from my dreams would take over my body, and I
promised myself that if I could not regain control of my dreams from him I would
commit suicide (I know that sounds harsh, but I told myself that I would rather die than
to join his army). That night I got into my bed and closed my eyes; it didn’t take long
for the dream to appear. I was at the beach-like place with Sonic and friends, but this
time I wasn’t in a trance; I could think clearly and knew what was coming, yet the doll
still had control of my body. Once he released his power over my body I would be
able to make my move. The sky turned its usual scarlet red and the others started to
get up and run away, but this time I understood what they were telling me to do.
“Run,” they said, “Run for your life! The doll is coming.” But I couldn’t, I wouldn’t; I
knew that if I ran it would be pointless. So I stood there like he intended me to do and
that’s when I heard it, “Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?
Don’t you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?” the song sang almost
mockingly. It was in a different tone, almost creepier, than the one usually played.
Then the doll’s child-like voice came into my head saying his usual line, “Can you feel
the sunshine, Tanner?” He released his control on my body, big mistake, but I wouldn’
t reveal to him my true intensions, not yet; I would wait for the right time. I turned
around like usual, acting scared, and saw his slumped over body in doll form. I
approached him and picked him up. His gem started to glow and his red pupils
appeared. Dropping him on the ground and backing away, I knew that this was the
time to strike.
“Can you feel it, Tanner?” he now said in his mocking metallic voice while getting to his
feet.
I smiled, “No, I can’t feel the sunshine. Can you?” I asked sarcastically while putting
my hands in my pockets.
He looked at me - his smile no longer on his face, but confusion showed, then anger.
“Are you mocking me?” he asked.
Ignoring his question I asked him, “You remember what happens next, right?” While
asking him his own question, I took one of my hands out of my pockets and gestured
“come on” with it.
That pissed him off. “You will pay for your insolence,” he growled. Seeing him getting
ready to charge at me, I snapped my fingers. He started to run, but he wasn’t
lightening fast; instead, he ran so slow that a snail could do laps around him. He
looked down at himself, confused, then glared at me. “What have you done?” he
asked.
I walked up to him, laughing, enjoying my victory. “You really don’t know what’s going
on?” I asked him. “It’s called getting my mind back, fool!”
“You will pay for this, mortal,” he growled again. He slowly turned towards me and
started to swing his arm. I grabbed his arm and turned it towards him, snapped my
fingers to let time come back, and with the force from his fist he did a back flip.
“Oh, isn’t that sad. You punched yourself,” I said to him pretending to sound
sympathetic. He started to get to his feet, so I snapped my fingers again and he
slowed down. “Now,” I said, “It’s time to do to you what you have done to me for the
past four months.”
“Ha,” he said, thinking that I couldn’t hurt him. “And how do you plan on doing that?”
“Like this.” I snapped my fingers and instead of giving his speed back, he turned into
a human (but he still had the tails), and gave myself claws. “Are you ready?” I asked
him. He just stood there showing no emotion; not even his smile showed. I stabbed
him in the gut, like he has done to me, and pulled out my claw. Blood rushed out of
the wounds that I made and for some sick reason I enjoyed it. Getting the urge to
mock him by yet another quote of his, I asked, “How does it feel to have stomach acid
eating you from the inside?”
He grabbed his gut and went to his knees, but he was smiling as if he enjoyed the
pain. “Heh, heh. This feels funny in my tummy,” he told me sounding happy.
I looked at him with disgust. Getting close and looking him in the face, I asked, “Why
did your master send you to haunt me?” He didn’t respond so I asked again, “Why did
your master send you to haunt me?”
He looked at me. “I already told you, it’s a secret.” His smile started to come back as
he said this.
I punched him in the face to wipe his smile off. “I’m going to ask you again,” I told him
starting to get angry. “Why did he send you to me?” asking through my teeth.
“Hm, hm, hm. I’ll never tell you,” he said still with his smile.
I punched him in the face again. “You will tell me what I want to hear,” I said to him.
“You have heard the expression ‘curiosity killed the cat’, right?” he asked.
“Yes, but I don’t see how this relates to my question,” I told him both confused and
annoyed.
“Well, if you keep snooping, boy, death will be your answer,” he said.
He was about to laugh when I punched him in the stomach. “Tell me what you know!” I
said starting to loss my temper.
He lurched forward and spat up blood before straightening up. “No,” he told me.
POW! Another blow to the stomach. “TELL ME!” I yelled.
“No,” he said again.
That’s when I snapped and started punching him repeatedly. After a few minutes a
voice spoke to me in my head. “Tanner, you need to wake up,” is all it said. The
voice sounded urgent and familiar, but it wasn’t my parents’ voices. I stopped
punching the “human” Tails Doll for a few seconds and looked at him; he was all
bloody and weary.
He looked up at me, and breathing heavily he asked, “You… done so soon?”
Tired of his attitude I took one of my clawed hands and slashed his face. “Yes, I am
done with you,” I said. He fell face first into the ground, and his human form dissolved
away revealing his doll form. The gem on his head expanded around him and he
disappeared.
My hands turned back to normal. The dream started spin around me and I got dizzy
and blacked out. When I opened my eyes I was lying down in my bed. Jumping out of
bed, I looked around the house making sure nobody was home; thank god no one
was. I started getting dressed because I had to leave quickly. Knowing that if I stayed
home for too long the Tails Doll would be able to track me down and send one of his
minions after me, so I had to leave; I packed socks and underwear, a few shirts
(especially my Sonic the Hedgehog t-shirt) and all of my shorts. I threw them into a
duffle bag and looked around my room to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything.
Then I remembered something: Sonic plushies could stop or weaken the Tails Doll, so
I opened my closet doors and grabbed my Sonic and Knuckles plushies. Grabbing a
backpack, I put the plushies in it, thinking that I would be safer with them closer to me.
Also I put two miniature baseball bats (about 1ft 6in or 46cm long) in the backpack.
They fit perfectly in the bag. Taking both bags I went outside of my room into the
hallway and laid them at the end of the stairs and went back to my room. Knowing
that the doll uses the TV or a computer screen to get into the room of his victim, I
destroyed both of mine. I smashed in the screens, and in order to make sure they
never turned on again, I unplugged them from the wall and cut the wires. Opened
them up, I started to break the components inside – just in case. And so that no one
could get into my room, I locked the door and put some crap into the lock. Grabbing
some paper and a pencil, I wrote, “Dear Mom and Dad. I left home for reasons you
wouldn’t understand. All I can say is that I am in danger, and if I stayed home I would
be putting you in danger, too. Do NOT open the door to my room, and if you see it
open one day, run! Don’t come looking for me and don’t call the police; I’ll come
home one day. Your son: Tanner.” I looked over the note making sure I wasn’t
forgetting anything. Then I put, “P.S. I’m also taking the laptop and wireless adapter
USB. You can kick my ass about it when I return, sorry.” I took some tape and stuck
the note on my bedroom door. I then took my bags and went downstairs. Grabbing
the laptop and charger off the kitchen counter, I saw that the USB adapter was
already in the laptop. I took the adapter out of the laptop, so that it wouldn’t get
broken inside of the duffle bag, and placed it in a separate pocket.
As I headed to the garage door, I was thinking to myself about where I could possibly
go. Knowing that I couldn’t stay in my town, I decided to head to the capital city of
Iowa: Des Moines (it was the first place that popped into my head). I got into my car
and backed out of the driveway. Plugging my iPod into the radio, I started to listen to
His World by Zebrahead – my favorite Sonic song. It took me a few minutes to get to
Des Moines, but once I did I found a motel conveniently to the right of me. Now, you
have to be eighteen or older to pay for a room in a motel or hotel, but I am only off by
one year; so I hoped they wouldn’t ask to see any I.D.
Walking into the check-in room, nervous as hell, I went up to the clerk. He looked at
me without lifting up his head, but saw me only with his eyes. He looked almost
bored. Turning around, he grabbed a key, and gave it to me. “Room 175,” is all he
said. I was so dumbfounded that all I could do was say thank you and run out of there.
I got into my car and drove it in front of my room. When I opened the door, what I saw
shocked me; the room was nice and clean. Going back to my car, I grabbed my bags,
threw them on the bed, and started searching for the laptop. While searching I was
thinking to myself about what I should do tomorrow. I knew that if I didn’t find a job I
wouldn’t be able to drive, feed myself, or buy any necessary items. After searching I
finally found the laptop under some shirts. Grabbing the Wi-Fi USB, and finding a
connection, I came to this website to tell you guys what happened. I’ll update in a
couple of months; talk to you then.
-Tanner D. H.

Shaman is back with an update to his tale...
I've got to make this quick -- I've only got 2 hours to live!
Hola!! It's me, Shaman!
I've had bad luck ever since I found some of my OLD glass gems: red, blue, and
green. WTF?! I got these BEFORE I discovered IT! So, back to the bad luck.
I found a red gem (read the paragraph above) and took it to school! I had a buddy
named Brad who wanted one, so I sold it and brought my green instead. I started
having my bad luck at that point.
First, I noticed my PE homework sheet was due, but I forgot it. I also tripped over
somebody's backpack, and he's been riding on me since. T_T*
The next day, I had no results finding it, so I told her I lost it and needed a
replacement. She gave me one, cuz she's one nice teach! Also I told that kid whose
backpack I tripped over to get bent, then he punched me, but I barely felt it!
WTFHAX?!! Also, I forgot that I had a spelling def. sheet! The teacher of that class is
a real WIATCH!
I think I'm also becoming HIS slave! Reasons??
A)I sucked as TD before but now I ROXORZ!!!
B)I fear him and am fascinated by him!
C)I am beginning to like "CYFTS"... Does it brighten up your day?
D)I feel like CRAP when I don't play Sonic R!!
PLEASE TELL ME: AM I TURNING INTO HIS F---ING SERVANT!?!?!

Maria not only believes there is more than one Tails Doll, but she also believes that
their intentions might not always be villainous...
You can call me Maria. I'm not quite sure if this counts as an actual haunting. It's quite
hard, but I will try my best to explain and not ramble much.
Basically, I've had the Tails Doll on the brain for roughly a week now. And in this week,
strange things have been happening. Things I can't really explain.
It all started when my friend's younger brother gave me his copy of Sonic Adventure 2
Battle. "I lost the games you lent me," he said, "So just as I promised you can have
this."
I was thrilled. Excited. I played it immediately. I mostly played with my chao, who I
hadn't realized I missed so much.
A week ago, I was thinking of how to create chao that look like the characters from
'Soul Eater' (my favorite anime) when I remembered a sinister character from a cursed
game. I don't know why, but I did.
I remembered the Tails Doll.
I had heard of this cursed plushie before, roughly a year ago in fact. I will say right
now I've never played Sonic R and never plan to. Anyway, as soon as I remembered
it, I decided to refresh my mind as to the horror it had caused helpless victims. So I
googled 'Tails Doll' and found my way to your site, where I read to my heart's content
and finished one of your Collection Volumes. I laughed in the face of danger, joked
among my friends it didn't exist.
That night though I was scared. I felt paranoid, like the Tails Doll was out to get me. I
couldn't sleep until I tucked my copy of 'Shadow the Hedgehog' under my pillow and
cuddled with my Shadow plushie.
The next day came. A friend asked me what the Tails Doll looked like. Not knowing
about people being curse from simply drawing the doll, I drew them a picture. Later I
read your next collection.
The next day I saw the Tails Doll in my TV.
I was doing laundry. I had run out of clean jeans and was washing more for the next
day. I brought Shadow with me because I felt edgy and jumpy, just looking into the
dark basement. As I passed by the TV downstairs, my Shadow plush nestled in the
basket of clothes to wash, I saw It.
It had its back to me and was floating far away in the upper left corner. I couldn't see
the gem, but there was no mistaking that limp, plush figure. As I looked at it though, I
wasn't really scared. This was because the doll didn't look scary or evil.
It looked sad, as if mourning the loss of something.
An hour later my sister ran into the bathroom as I was drying my hair, her eyes filled
with tears. She asked for a towel. I asked why. She said three words to me.
"Einstein is dead."
Her guinea pig had died in his sleep, a month after suffering from a serious seizer.
Mom said it was a miracle he survived for that long.
Now, I don't believe the Tails Doll did this. I know it didn't. Don't ask how I know this,
though. I just... Do.
A few days passed. I read more of your stories, never doubting their authenticity.
Since I saw it in my TV I've become a strong believer.
But I don't fear it as much anymore. I've even started a fic about it and drawn pictures
of it (I will not mention what the pictures are about, though I will say they involve the
Tails Doll paired with someone). Despite what people say however, it hasn't haunted
me much since that day, besides brushing against my leg or watching me (I never see
it, but I know it's doing these things). Maybe it's binding its time. Maybe it just doesn't
care about me.
This has got me wondering a few things though. Hypothetical things. Call me crazy if
you want. I just need to get this off my chest.
What if, and this is just hypothetical, there's more than one Tails Doll? What if there
are good Tails Dolls and bad Tails Dolls and Tails Dolls that just don't care if humans
believe in them or not?
I don't really know. If it is true, I believe the Tails Doll haunting me is a good one (and
female, due to something in my gut feeling so). Sadly, if this is true, I'm a lucky person.
For if this is true, the evil ones far outnumber the good.

This came from Caleb, two years ago. If only I could have gotten to it sooner...
It’s me, Caleb again. This time, I’ve been seeing him in dreams, and worse of all, in my
life.
Like everyday.
I look into my own eyes and I see him. He’s like me. The plush doll is a part of me, the
pain I have. In dreams, I kill my family. It just won’t stop.
That all for now.

This is Chatterbox’s first post. Let’s hope it’s not his last...
Hello there! This is my first post, so you can call me Chatterbox.
I am writing to this site because I want to spread the word, of my encounter.
Nobody ever believes me. They say I'm crazy! I actually want you (or somebody else)
to believe me -- for a change...
Now on with the tale.
It was a nice and peaceful night. I was asleep when a loud THUD woke me up.
I wasn't paying attention to it, so I looked at my clock. It said 6:00 AM, which is the
time I usually wake up. Yet, something was wrong. It was still VERY dark outside. It
didn't appear to be morning at all! That is when I heard another THUD! I had a
headache, but I usually get those. When I went to the spare room where the sound
was coming from, however, I saw a glowing red gem...
"Hello there, mortal."
"What do you want from me?" I said with confidence.
"Your SOUL!"
"I'll...NEVER give my soul to you!"
"Yes...Just resist. Soon, it will be amplified!"
"Wha...What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.
The doll then vanished. What does this mean? I will keep all of you in the know...
'Til next time,
Chatterbox

Fracobeatle is never alone at night, though I bet he wishes he were...
Hi, I am Francobeatle, and I have a story to tell.
I beat Sonic R, one time. I guess the “R” refers to its rating, because this game is
certainly not rated “G”. Anyway, I beat it, and I was happy, but I had no clue that the
Tails Doll was about it take me alive! Every night, it comes to my room. Not saying
anything, not doing anything, but just staring at me. It never even blinked. One night I
had enough, and I punched him.
He still did not move. I kicked him. He did not move an inch. I pushed it. Nope.
Burned it. The fire would not start. I poured WATER on it. It did not even get wet. It
still stares at me every night.
What is it trying to say?
____________________________________________________________________
Zandra doesn’t want school to start, because more than the summer will be coming to
an end...
Just call me Zandra.
It all started a month or so ago, I had beaten Sonic R for about the 3rd time. I went to
your website and read a few stories when I saw something in the black background of
the page -- it was the Tails Doll! I was a bit scared but I figured it was just some little
joke put on the site. Then I realized that the Tails Doll wasn't in the screen - he was
being reflected ON the screen.
I held back a scream of terror, as I noticed something --the Tails Doll was facing away
from me. He was completely still. I slowly turned my head around to look at him and he
turned his head too! I freaked out at this point and ran as fast as I could into the
hallway, slamming the door behind me. I stayed there for about 15 minutes, scared
out of my wits. I finally got up the courage to go back into my room where the
computer was, but there was nothing there.
Ever since then, I see faint and blurry glimpses of a red gem and orange figures.
Everything was normal for about 2 weeks, until I had a strange dream. I dreamt I was
at school, in Social Studies. I looked out the window and saw the Tails Doll! He
disappeared after only a moment. Suddenly he reappeared in front of me, smiling.
Everyone screamed and ran into the hallway, which was pitch black. I ran blindly in the
darken hallway, crashing into stuff every few seconds. A bit later I fell down and
couldn't get up. A ton of Tails Dolls surrounded me, laughing and laughing, smiling
and smiling. I cried out in horror as they all surrounded me, their laughing now at
earsplitting volume.
I finally woke up. It was all over. Just a nightmare, right? I’d agree, except, I was in a
classroom I had never seen before. I recently saw a picture of my future Social
Studies classroom for 7th grade, and it was the same classroom as the one in my
dream. It’s still summer, but I'm terrified of going to school next year. What if the dream
has some truth to it?

Becca tells us the tale of dark encounters...
Hello Quacker, I am Becca, here with my sister Star to tell you of the strange things
she experienced regarding the Doll. It seems to happen a lot for Star. Star has
strange dreams, as vivid as reality but only when the Doll is in it.
She was walking along a desolate path, but it was a nice day… or so it seemed. She
had never seen a sky so blue, but something forced her to turn towards a wooded
area. Her stupid self decided to go into the woods to investigate. Upon entry she
began to hear a faint tune of a song that she could not recognize. She followed the
sound and it began to get louder and stronger. She noticed a moment too late it was
the dreaded tune of Can You Feel the Sunshine?
The sunshine ceased and all fell quiet. She felt like a girl in an old horror movie being
chased by a zombie; she couldn’t get away no matter how slow it was. She tried to run
faster to escape the woods; she believed she saw the light beyond the trees.
But then, she slowed and thought, “Why would the light be red?”
Then the light drew near her. She fell to her knees and began to panic, trying to tell
herself it wasn’t real, it wasn’t happening. She felt a small paw on her shoulder and a
sarcastically kind voice whispered, “Yes, it is,” and then she awoke.
Poor Star actually encountered the Doll twice. She is grateful she was not harmed.
The first time, she was 12 years old and staying up late, finishing a picture of her
Sonic fan character. She heard a rustle from the kitchen and believed it to be one of
her two pet dogs getting into something. She ran in, ready to scold the pup when she
saw a bright red glow near the table. She was oblivious to the Doll at that time, (I
should have warned her of it when I learned of it). She was freaked out at the
mysterious light, then sprinted to her room and attempted sleep. The thought haunted
her for a couple of sleepless nights.
At her second encounter, she was aware and fully informed of the Doll (thanks to ME!)
and it happened at a slumber party at a friend’s house. It was late and all the girls
where merrily jumping on the trampoline in the back yard, having a good time when
one of the girls noticed a red glow in the sky above the trees. Immediately they
assumed it was simply a cell phone tower, but the glow began to move about. Another
one of the girls proclaimed it was merely an air plane. But to their surprise it began to
jerk about in an odd manor and her best friend jokingly implied it was an alien space
craft. But in the deepest pits of her mind, Star began to wonder, “Is it the same red
glow from the kitchen two years ago?”
Afraid for their safety, she convinced them to go indoors for the rest of the night. She
never told her friends the truth of what she believed it to be.
Luckily, Star is sitting beside me now and she will not let me finish the game of Sonic R
I purchased for the PC. I will tell you about my encounters in another e-mail.
Becca and Star out-
P.S. Does the Tails Doll like cinnamon crumb cake?

Remodious, from a couple of weeks ago, is back with a new tale...
Jake and Tommy were best friends, and of course they loved Sonic. I mean, who
wouldn't? A blue furry hedgehog that saves the world is as good as it gets! They were
both on the computer one day at Jake's house and they were looking at the game
"Sonic R" that came out months ago. They were surprised that they didn't even play it
yet! So, they looked on Blockbuster.com and saw that ONE Sonic R game was in
stock! They had to go get it!
I have seen your site about me. Some stories are true, some are false. All these
people, all those memories - quite nice to remember all of that. But all those people
who claim people became nothing because of me . . . Let me ask you this: Can
anything exist when nothing does? Kind of brings you down to know you may not
even exist.
"Birds of feather flock together"
They do. You flock together with your website, that makes it easier to find all of you.
But to the point. I am a branch of you. I can only exist as long as you are stupid
enough to perform the curse. I am your fault, your mistake. I ask you, as a fool so
amazing to create his own doom:
Which one of us is possessed?
Face it: I am nothing. And if nothing can exist, then everything is nothing. You exist
only as much as I do, you are a creation of yourself. Therefore, I only destroy your
own illusion. Can you feel the revelation?
Can you feel the sunshine?

MasterGamer returns with an update to his tale…
Wow - its been a while since I've been here. It's me, MasterGamer, but now I'm called
Starflare. Sorry about not updating like I should have. I’ve been real busy with school
and stuff, but let’s begin!
For five months, I've been taking a break from researching the Tails Doll, but I met a
friend at school who didn't even know of "The Curse," until we got into a good
conversation about video games. He became curious and started to research the
Doll. Hell, I even gave him the address to this very site, and he read every single story
in a day.
I technically saved my new Researcher friend, because I bought Gems Collection from
him and now he can’t do the "Game Version" of the curse. I still haven't done the
Sonic R Curse and don't plan on it. Yes, I'm scared...
Even playing Tails' Nightmare 2 (great game - recommend playing it), fighting and
seeing the Tails Doll struck fear and near death in me. I couldn't move my body. I
couldn't even breath...all the movements...the effects looked real. I couldn't sleep for
days because I feel like he’s watching me!
So I say to you this -- take a break from researching. I think my very first researcher
friend was either captured or killed by the Tails Doll. I haven't seen or heard from her
in almost a year.
I'll try to keep you all posted...

Tanner’s epic tale of a cross-country crusade continues, with a fanciful twist…
Date: September 23, 2010
Ah, what a beautiful Thursday it is here in Kansas. The sun is shining, there’s no
cloud in the sky, and everyone’s happy; or at least me. I’m in a little coffee shop
mooching off of their Wi-Fi and drinking a latté; it’s so yummy!
Ok, getting down to business. It’s Tanner again, and I have some wonderful news.
Now I’d love to tell you what that news is, but I think I’d rather tell you what has
happened to me since the last time I updated.
It started that night at the motel in Des Moines. I fell asleep in their super
uncomfortable bed and had a dream, but it wasn’t the nightmare. No, it was
something better. In this new dream I am sitting under a tree. The sun is shining and
there’s a small breeze blowing making the weather warm but cool at the same time;
the type of weather I love. The scenery was so beautiful that I felt like crying. I could
hear waves washing up on land. In the distance there was a forest and out in front of
me was an open environment. It had short green grass, clear blue skies, no pollution,
and a few small two-story houses here and there. This was a place that I could only
wish to move to; but sadly it was just a dream, or so I thought.
I woke up that morning feeling better than ever. “Wow,” I thought to myself. “That was
probably the best dream I have ever had. It felt so…” I paused, not knowing for sure
how to describe the dream. “Real,” I eventually thought. This was my first dream of
this place, but it wouldn’t be the last.
I got out of bed and dressed myself; I had to look for a job and one that paid a lot.
The only place I knew of that paid that kind of money was a farm and that is not easy
work. So I left the motel with my backpack and drove out to the country. On the way,
though, I was hearing voices. They were faint and quiet but also familiar. I started to
get scared, thinking that it might be a Tails Doll or a human servant; but when I looked
around in the car and outside nothing looked suspicious. So I just told myself that I
was getting paranoid and kept driving.
I eventually found a place that was hiring. It was detasseling, or in other words, going
down rows of corn during the middle of the day, getting hot and sweaty, and getting
covered in mud. But hey, I needed the money. Apparently if I worked seven hours a
day for three weeks on a wage of seven twenty-five, I would earn about one-thousand
sixty-five dollars and seventy-five cents – just to be exact. The guy said that I would
start tomorrow, so I had plenty of time to buy the necessary items.
After buying everything (I bought all cheap clothes) I went back to the motel to turn in
early for work. That night I had the same dream; the beautiful sky, the sun warming
me up, and that wonderful ocean breeze. I was sitting under the tree, not wanting to
move, and listening to the birds chirp. One of the birds flew past me, but it looked
different from a normal bird. This bird looked a little rounder than normal and it was
green. I mean it was a solid green color; there were no other colors mixed in to it; but I
didn’t care, I was too preoccupied with a volleyball game going on in the distance. All
chicks in bikinis, alright! When the sun was high up in the sky, about noon, two
figures (I think they were guys) walked up to the girls playing volleyball and started
talking to them. The girls kept shaking their heads no, so they were probably asked
something, but eventually the guys walked away and started calling out to someone. I
could hear their voices but not very well. I tried concentrating on what they were
saying, “Ta… ta… tan… tan… Tanner…” And that’s when the horrible truth came;
they were looking for me, and asked the girls if any of them had seen me! I started to
freak, “This can’t be happening, not again! Wake up. I need to wake up!” I lifted my
head forward and slammed it against the tree behind me.
I woke up in the motel bed. The back part of my head was hurting so I rubbed it with
my hand. “Darn it,” I thought angrily to myself. “The doll must be trying to look for me
in my dreams. Hopefully he doesn’t know where I really am.” I looked toward the
alarm clock next to me – 4:53 am; plenty of time to get ready for work.
After about a half-‘n-hour I got into my car with my backpack and started to drive to
work. Again I was hearing voices on the way to the farm, but this time the voices were
louder. I kept telling myself that it was nothing and to keep focused on the road.
When I arrived at the farm, I was not prepared for what was in store; but I did the job
as best as I could. After work I went back to the motel and went straight to bed.
I had the same dream, but this time the guys were getting closer. And this cycle
continued for three weeks. Every morning on the way to work the voices would get
louder, almost getting closer; and every night I would have the same dream with the
two getting closer. But finally on Sunday, August 8th, I figured out what it all meant.
That night, I was driving home from work with my last paycheck (I was very proud of
myself) when I started to hear the voices. “Odd,” I said aloud, confused. “This is a
first.” The voices sounded like they were right next to me and strangely muffled. I
looked next to me, into the passenger seat, and saw only my backpack. Pulling off to
the side of the road, I opened the bag. The only things in it were my miniature bats
and my Sonic and Knuckles plushies. The weird part was, when I opened the bag the
voices stopped and didn’t start up again, so I ignored it and kept driving.
I arrived at the motel, exhausted, and decided to turn in early. I changed out of my
dirty clothes and got in bed. As soon as I laid my head on the pillow, I fell asleep
instantly and had the dream.
I opened my eyes and saw the sun, so bright and shiny, and started to look around.
“Another beautiful day,” I said happily to myself. I looked in the general direction of
where I thought the beach was at and found what I was looking for. “Ah,” I said
delighted, “Another beach volleyball game, heh heh heh.” So I sat there, under the
tree, and watched.
A few minutes later, something caught my eye. I turned my head in that direction and
was shocked at what I found. It was the two guys, walking out of a small house, and in
my direction. As they got closer, they started to look more and more familiar (one was
blue and the other was red), but by that time, I was freaking out. “Crap, crap, oh
crap,” I thought I said to myself.
“Did you hear that?” the red one asked. The blue one shook his head.
“Crud! One of them heard me!” I said getting scared.
“Wait a minute,” blue said. “I think I heard it that time.”
“Damn it!” I started thinking, “What to do, what to do? I need to run, I need to hide!”
“Did you hear him that time?” red asked.
“Ya,” answered blue. “We need to find him before he gets away.”
“Right,” red said.
They started to jog towards me. “Darn it! How can they hear me?” I asked myself but
didn’t ponder it for too long. I tried getting on to my feet – which was a difficult task for
some reason, but as soon as I did, it felt like I had no balance, and I fell face first into
the dirt. “Well, it looks like I won’t be running away: time for Plan B.” I got up onto my
hands and knees and started to crawl behind the tree.
“Tanner! Tanner!” blue yelled.
“Where are you, Tanner!” red said after blue.
“Don’t look behind the tree, don’t look behind the tree,” I repeated hopeful.
“I think he might be behind a tree,” said red.
“Crap!” I exclaimed.
“You think?” said blue mockingly.
“Shut up and start looking,” said red sounding annoyed.
It sounded like they were getting closer to me, so I took a chance and peeked around
the tree to see how far they really were. First thing I saw was blue staring right at me.
“Eep!” was all I said before ducking back behind the tree.
“Ah, Knux. I think I just found him,” blue told red.
“Well don’t just stand there, go get ‘em!”
I knew that at this point I was screwed. Getting back onto my hands and knees, I
started to crawl as fast as I could, but didn’t make it very far.
“What’s up, bud?” blue, who had magically appeared in front of me, said.
“AAAAAHH!!” I screamed… like a girl. I started to crawl in a different direction when
blue appeared in front of me again.
“Yo man, where do you think you’re going?”
“AAH!” I screamed again. “Please don’t hurt me! I’m, I’m, I’m sorry for what I did in
that dream, but please don’t hurt me,” I told him cowering in fear.
“Me, hurt you? Come on, who do you think I am?” he asked me.
“Aren’t you the Tails Doll who haunted me in my dreams for four months?” I asked
shaking.
“Wow, he really got to you, didn’t he? No, dude, I’m not him.” He paused, “You really
don’t recognize me?” I was so scared that I couldn’t look at him, so all I did was shake
my head. “Hmm, you’d think you’d know a guy after being locked in his closet for six
years.”
His statement confused me. I opened my eyes and finally looked at him. “Sonic?
Sonic the Hedgehog?” amazed at what I saw, I regained feeling in my legs and stood
up. “Oh my god, this must be a dream if I’m talking to you!”
“No, dude, it’s not a dream,” Sonic told me. “You’re on Mobius, or at least your soul
is.”
“What do you mean by that?”
“Well, I can’t really explain everything to you, but I will tell you this; your soul is
connected to a, um, plushie here on our world, as our souls are connected to plushies
on your world,” he said.
“But I’m not a…” I started to say as I looked down. And that was the first time, on
Mobius, I looked at myself. “Oh my god, I am a plushie!” I started to look at myself
and feel around to make sure that this was real. “But, but if I’m a plushie, how can you
hear me?” I asked Sonic.
“Well actually, Tanner, since you can’t move your mouth, your thoughts become your
means of talking; if that makes any sense to you.”
But before I could answer him, Knuckles came storming up. “Sonic! I’ve been looking
for you guys, why didn’t you call for me?”
“Well, um…” Sonic stammered but never finished.
I was just about to say something to Knuckles when I noticed it. He was holding a
plushie, but this was no ordinary plushie; it had no features to it, no clothes, no face,
no shoes – just a blank plush. Yet, there was a glow to it, almost as if it was radiating
its own light. And this light that came off of the plush put tears into my eyes for some
reason. “It’s, it’s beautiful,” I said, about to cry (if plushies can actually cry, that is).
Knuckles looked confused until he saw what I was looking at. “Oh,” he said. “So you
think that she looks beautiful, hm?”
“Wait, what?” I asked, finally coming back to reality. “That blank plush is a, um, girl?
How do you know that?” I felt a blush coming on, but I held it back as best I could.
“By her life force,” he told me, as if I knew what he was talking about.
“Her who-da-what-a now?” I asked like an idiot.
“Her life force,” he repeated. “It’s the energy that all living beings produce.”
“Ok,” I said somewhat getting it now. “But what’s so special about hers?”
“Well if you must know,” he began, “she’s a pure soul.”
“Wh-wh-what? A pu-pu-pure soul?”
“Yes, a pure soul. You see, the life force produced by an individual varies. A human
produces little to no energy where as a pure soul just emanates energy. Now us
Mobians produce more than you humans, but much less than the pure souls.”
“Hm,” I said trying to put this information into something I could relate to. “So, if we put
this on a scale of one to ten, one being a human and a ten being a pure soul, the
Mobians would be a five?”
“Ya, kind of,” he said while nodding his head. “But, you have to remember that it
varies with every person. So it would be more or less a four or a five on that scale.”
“Alright, I think I’m starting to get it now; but why would the doll send one of his
subordinates after me? Unless…” I started but was interrupted by Knuckles.
“No Tanner, you’re not a pure soul.” Knuckles reassured me.
“Darn,” I said a little disappointed, but also relieved. “But if I’m not a pure soul, then
why me?”
“Hm, I’m not sure, but you do give off more energy than a normal human.” He
continued, “The doll must have been curious about why you would give off so much
energy.”
“So on that scale that I mentioned, I would be?” wanting to see what Knuckles would
say.
“I would have to say that you would be a six or a seven.”
“A six or a seven? I give off that much?”
“Ya, more than a Mobian. But I still don’t know why,” was all he said before a familiar
female voice called out.
“Sonic! Oh, Soooniiic!”
“We’re over here, Amy!” answered Sonic.
“Amy?” I asked when my answer came jogging in to the forest.
“Sonic! Oh, it’s so nice to see you again. You know…” She stopped and saw me
sitting down on the ground. Her eyes widened with almost a sparkle in them, placed
both hands over her chest, and, in an overjoyed voice, said, “Oh my, aren’t you just
the cutest thing ever!”
She walked over to me and started to reach out when Sonic said, “Um, Amy that’s…”
“Oh Sonic, I love it!” Amy interrupted him. She grabbed hold of me and put me to her
chest. “He’s such a cute little plushie!”
At that point I started to get mixed feelings. I didn’t know if I should enjoy the moment
or tell her. So I did both, “You’re very warm,” I said while also giggling. After I said
that there was a few minutes of awkwardness in the air, and then she screamed and
threw me. I hit the ground hard and when I opened my eyes I looked up to see Amy,
with her hammer, about to bring it down on me. Just before Amy swung her hammer
Sonic yelled out, “Amy, wait!”
She looked towards Sonic, a little confused but still ready to strike. “Why? It’s
probably one of the doll’s minions, and a perverted one, too.” I looked away as she
said that and blushed shamefully.
“Amy, calm down. He’s not one of the doll’s minions, but there is something different
about this one though. We just have…”
“That’s it!” Knuckles interrupted.
“What’s it,?” We all asked.
“I think I just figured out Tanner’s purpose!” he said, proud of himself.
“Tanner?” Amy asked not knowing that Knuckles was talking about me.
“The plush that you almost crushed,” Sonic answered.
“Oh,”
“Anyways,” Knuckles said trying to get back on track. “I have been reading some old
manuscripts about the Tails Doll and how to, maybe, defeat him.”
“Well, what’s that got to do with my purpose?” I asked a little impatiently.
“Let me finish,” he snapped. “In one account, the doll was once defeated by the pure
souls, many centuries ago. But, as I read more into it, I started to notice that the
manuscript kept referring to a ‘guardian’. As I kept reading, the ‘guardian’ would help
the pure souls in their quest to defeat the doll. But unlike the pure souls, the
‘guardian’ was only mentioned when the pure souls were in trouble,” he paused. “The
thing is, now that I think about it, it seems as though the manuscript was sort of hiding
this ‘guardian’ so that the doll wouldn’t learn too much about him.”
I don’t know what Sonic or Amy thought about what Knuckles just said, but I was
confused. “So, what are you saying?”
“Can’t you see Tanner? You’re the next guardian. That’s why the doll sent his
subordinate after you – to see what was so different about you.”
I was shocked. I was confused. I was scared! “But, I can’t be the guardian; I’ve never
been a guardian of anything. By the way, what am I the guardian of?” Like I said, I
was confused.
Knuckles walked over to me, leaned in close, placed the plushie in front of me, and
said, “The guardian of the pure souls.”
“The guardian of the pure souls,” I whispered while staring at the blank plush placed
in front of me. I could still feel the pleasure that I got from it earlier, and I could feel it
at that moment as well. It was a wonderful feeling. You almost felt as if there was no
bad in the world, that everything was fine and dandy, and that nothing in the world (or
other world/dimension) could harm you. As I felt this, in the back of my head
something was telling me that I was being selfish; that I wasn’t sharing this feeling with
anybody but myself. And that was when I remembered that connected to this plush,
this incomplete plush, was another person. A person who hadn’t realized who they
were yet, and a person who would be in serious trouble if they didn’t find some help.
Once I figured this out, I also realized my purpose as the pure soul guardian: to find all
seven pure souls and to help them defeat the Tails Doll. I understood what might
happen to me, but this was a job I couldn’t refuse. Now, don’t get me wrong – I was
scared, but again it was either the doll or the pure souls and I already rejected the doll
– so I was pretty much set. “Alright. I understand,” I said with some resignation. “So,
now what?”
“Well,” Sonic began, which surprised me because I was expecting Knuckles to
answer. “You need to leave the motel and start heading to Kansas.”
“Why Kansas?”
“Because there is something there that will help you in your journey with the pure
souls,” answered Knuckles this time. I started to get this feeling that they knew
something that I didn’t, but I ignored it since they would probably tell me eventually.
“Now, you better head back to your world, you have a long day ahead of you.”
I was just about to ask them a question when all of a sudden I was back in the motel
room. I looked over to the window and saw streams of light trying to squeeze in
between the blinds, and then down at the alarm clock: 8:35 a.m. Jumping out of bed, I
quickly did my morning routines, got dressed, threw my luggage together, put my
backpack on, and bolted out the door. I quickly threw my things into the car (keeping
my bag) and then headed to the check-in room. When I entered, there was no one
there. I headed to the front counter to call for a clerk, when I noticed a letter; it was
addressed to me! So I read it out loud, since no one was in the room with me.
“Tanner. Your next stop is Kansas. I will meet you at Lansing. Go to any
hotel/motel and you will find me. Clerk.”
After reading the letter, I just stood there. “How did he know that I was leaving and
that I would be heading to Kansas?” I asked myself.
There was some rustling in my bag, which kind of freaked me out, but I unzipped to
see what was going on. Once opened, my Sonic and Knuckles plushies almost flew
out of the bag. “Why the hell didn’t you leave the zipper unzipped? We could have
died in there!” yelled the Knuckles plushie.
“I didn’t know that you could communicate to me through the plushies,” I answered
honestly.
“Tanner, don’t you remember what I said before?” Sonic asked this time. “You are
connected to a plushie on our world as we are connected to plushies on your world,”
he reminded me.
“Ya, but I didn’t…”
“Never mind,” Knuckles interrupted impatiently. “We overheard you read the letter,
and it sounds to us like you have a new ally.”
“Ya, but how does he already know everything?”
Again, Sonic and Knuckles knew something but weren’t telling me, and they didn’t give
me a chance to ask another question. “Forget about it for now. Are you going to
head to Kansas or not?” Knuckles asked not letting me slow things down.
“Yes,” I said in defeat. I put my bag on my back again, placed the letter in my pocket,
and headed to my car.

Luis H. tells us this terrifying, but true tale…
I was playing the Sonic R game (for some reason, I didn’t go mad like all those other
guys who played it) in my house (the PC version). I normally like bloody first and/or
third person shooter games, but the game was pretty fun.
I was playing it because I wanted to know if that curse was true. I was playing in
Radical City, found the 5 tokens, then competed against THE TAILS DOLL. I won.
Nothing happened.
I was totally convinced that the curse was false. The thing I didn’t know was that seal
of the PC version…
Bad for me.
I played in tag 4 mode, selected THE Tails Doll as my character, clicked on “random”
and Super Sonic showed up. I was like “OH SHI-, the perfect enemy!!!,” Then, I
caught Super Sonic. Then all lights went off. I pissed on myself. I grabbed my
flashlight and my Sonic necklace. Something PWN’D me and I BLACKED OUT.
I woke up in a room with air fans in the floor and squares of black and red
everywhere. I pissed myself AGAIN, because I remembered the pic where the Doll
was in a room like this. I started walking, trying to find a door, without success.
Eventually, I found a ladder with a sign that said “EXIT” in red blood. When I climbed it
and was about to open the hatch at the end, something grabbed my leg. I looked
down… IT WAS THE GRIM REAPER ITSELF WITH THE TAILS DOLL ON THE
SHOULDER!!!! The Tails Doll saw my Sonic necklace, and his jewel turned into
green. (Judging by his reaction, I think green means fear!) He grabbed me and threw
me off the ladder. I crashed onto the floor, blacking out again.
I woke up in my room, in front of the computer, with the mouse on the PLAY button
and my finger on the first button of the mouse. I grabbed the mouse and threw it out
of the window.
I said to myself “was it a dream, or luck??!!!” Man, I don’t know. It felt real, but I don’t
have any injuries. To be safe, I deleted the game of my computer. (It’s a laptop, so it
has a secondary mouse). I went to the bathroom to wash my face.
I looked at myself in the mirror and saw a knife covered in blood poking out from
behind. Then the mirror broke! I turned back and screamed- “HOLY S#@!T!!!!, I
KNEW IT WAS REAL!!!!.”
Since then, I’ve thrown /burned / broke anything that has to do with Sonic, except for
the necklace that saved my life. I’m actually making a 2D (or 3D if I change my mind)
picture showing what I lived.
I’m the luckiest man ever.

Kevin is a fellow Tails Doll researcher, and wishes to share his data with us…
Hi. My name is Kevin. I've been a long-time researcher of the Tails Doll and I just want
to compliment you on this site. Anyway, I've put together a little list. It's how to help you
and everybody else defeat him, if the need comes up.
- 1.) Do NOT aim for the gem. You may get one strike. Seriously, after awhile of
being exposed to something, it becomes immune to it. Think. How many people
have saved their lives by hitting the gem? A lot of people. And how many times
will it work again before he becomes immune to it? Probably not a lot.
2.) Try to disable him somehow. Make it so that he can't touch you. If he can
touch you, he can hurt you physically. That is bad because 1. It hurts. and 2. It
will limit your ability to run. This will hurt your chances of surviving.
3.) Do NOT look into his eyes. I think this is the way he gets into your head. If
he can get into your head, he can persuade you to join him.
4.) Get a bladed weapon. This will not only be more effective defending yourself
then with your fists, but will also cause rips. He is a doll, and if the stuffing
comes out, it's more likely that he dies.*
That's all I got for now. If I get more, I'll send it in. Stay safe, and be alert.
*I have no evidence he dies if his stuffing is lost. Do not try to get the stuffing out
unless it is guaranteed to actually make all of the stuffing come out.

Roy McC. is worried he’s losing it…
I think I'm going MAD!!!!!!
Okay, so my name is Roy R. McCone (Yeah, yeah. SCREW identity theft). I've had
some strange coincidences, though it seems they may not actually be coincidences.
And dammit, I'm not psychotic!!!!
So, I was looking through my stuff, ‘cuz my mom wanted me to clean up, and I found
an OLD Tails Doll picture. I remembered throwing it away, so I thought, WTF?!?!
It got my heart racing and thinking at jet speeds! Maybe, if I researched the web
thoroughly and planned it all well, maybe I could prove the Doll real, and either kill it or
befriend it. Two hours before midnight, I got a headache, then a high fever, so I went
to bed. The next day I went to Scripps and was diagnosed with a sinus infection.
The next week, I didn't think of it as a Tails Doll occurrence. Or at least, not until I tried
the curse with my friend, Brandon (Arkra12 on youtube) and a priest's son named
Daniel. We had it ALL planned. We'd have Brandon bring a replica of the Master
Sword, (LoZ) a steel bat, some Sonic and Shadow dolls, and a Nerf gun with a red
LED light for distraction. I had another steel bat, a Shadow doll, a tennis racket, and
some Sonic/Shadow musical lyrics. OF COURSE, when 10:00 hits, suddenly Daniel
gets scared of it. (Probably ‘cuz I was counting down) Not only that, but his dad,
Pastor Tim, convinced Mom not to let us do it that time!
WTF IS HAPPENING?! I still don't understand!! Maybe I'm a pure soul? Maybe it’s
Brandon!! We tried it yet again, but this time we got to do it.
But why... didn't it work? Did I already do it when I never knew about it?!?!
(Yes, I had the game on PC.)

Cathleen C., of the SSInvestigators recounts her bone-chilling research…
I have a friend. She and I are in a group called SSInvestigators -- we also have a
website SSInvestigators.webs.com. We investigate the Tails Doll. Well, all I’m saying
is that we support you all the way. So yeah. Ok, here is the tale I heard.
The end begins when you know about the Tails Doll. It is from a game called SonicR.
You can bring it in to our world by beating the game all the way ( like 100%), or there
are two songs called “Can you Feel the Sunshine” and “Living in the City” but they
have to be played backwards. Well, me and my friend went to my bathroom since I
don't have an attic. We went there with two cameras and my iPod (to play “Can u feel
the Sunshine” backwards, and we heard "Get Out" but it was all muffled up and then
we heard scratching on pipes in the wall.
We got locked in there too! We were screaming our lungs out. I managed to unlock
the door, flung it open, and we ran out. Strangely, my mom did not here us at all.
Well, we decided that's not enough to prove it, so we went back in and on the mirror
there was “Get Out” scrawled on it in red lipstick. We cleaned the mirror and did it
again, but with “Living in the City” backwards.
Nothing happen that time.

Joe L. sends us a journal of the damned…
John loved Sonic R. He knew the game was "cursed", or that's what some websites
said. He didn't believe in the curse.
That's where he went wrong.
Enclosed in this document is a digital copy of John's journal he kept everyday as a log
of his attempt to invoke the Tails Doll. Nothing has been edited.
June 1, 2006
10:37 p.m.
Today, I was in my room playing Sonic R on my computer. I had gotten it as part of a
dual pack that came with Sonic 3D Blast. I had installed it on my computer before, but
had found the clunky controls insufferable.
After reading about the "Tails Doll Curse", however, I reinstalled it and was intent on
performing it as soon as possible so as to put a rest to a topic I thought was
completely stupid.
I had finally gotten all the characters after suffering through the terrible controls. I was
completing the game with Tails Doll to fulfill one of the many methods of performing
the curse. I was racing on Radiant Emerald when his computer started lagging horribly.
I tapped the arrow keys furiously in an attempt to get my racer to move. My dinosaur
of a computer sometimes froze when I played 3D games, so it wasn't an uncommon
problem.
Finally, the screen went black. When it faded back in, Tails Doll was doing his victory
animation.
"Well that's a cool glitch..." I mused to myself. It would've been almost impossible to
beat Super Sonic.
After a few seconds, Tails Doll stopped and faced forward. Its gem started to glow,
and the screen gradually grew more red, the more the gem's light intensified.
Tails Doll began to get larger, as if trying to escape the monitor. The evil doll became
larger, and I just watched as if it were just another cutscene. It interested me that the
programmers would include a cutscene like this in the game.
Suddenly, the computer turned off.
I had had this problem before. The old piece of machinery sometimes did things like
that. The plug was faulty and wouldn't stay in the wall, which probably wasn't safe, but
I was too cheap to buy a new one.
I investigated the outlet and found the plug securely in the wall. I pressed the power
button on the computer, and it instantly booted up to my desktop, as if it were never
turned off.
"That's weird," I said to myself. I wondered what could've caused such a thing.
Looking at the clock, I finally realized that I had played until two o'clock in the
morning. There's no way I’m going to stay up any longer, especially with Driver's Ed in
six hours.
June 2, 2006
8:56 p.m.
A red light outside my window woke me up in the middle of the night last night.
Usually, vehicles missed the turn that was in front of our house and they ended up in
our yard. Consequently, I figured it was a taillight. There was nothing I could do about
it, so I went back to sleep.
11:30 p.m.
This morning, after getting dressed and such, my mom and I went out to get in our van
to go to Driver's Ed. I looked outside my bedroom window to see how deep the tracks
from the guy’s tires were.
There was nothing there.
That puzzled me. What did I see last night? Was it a dream? That's what I thought it
was.
After I got back home, I went to my room and started to play Sonic R. I concentrated
on doing the next method of the curse. I chose Tag 4 and selected the Tails Doll. If
Tails Doll could get out by this method on the Gamecube, why not the computer?
The game started as Resort Island loaded. The familiar tune of "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" floated out of the speakers. The countdown started, and all the
characters shot off in different directions.
I tagged Egg Robo first with ease. Metal Knuckles ducked out of my way for a little bit,
but I caught him when he ran into the water and came out slowly. Metal Sonic was
tougher. He successfully evaded my first few attempts
but got caught when he hit a palm tree.
Super Sonic was (obviously) the hardest of all. He avoided my best attempts for a
good two minutes. Eventually, though, he hit the wrong side of the loop and got stuck
trying to get away from the wall.
I tagged Super Sonic, and the game froze again instantly. The only remainder of the
game unfrozen on the computer was the haunting melody of "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" still playing. Many of my games had done this before, so I figured it was
just a problem with my computer.
Suddenly, the disc drive shot open and my copy of Sonic R flew out. The disc flew so
fast, it actually flew into my mattress, and it took me a good ten minutes to fish the
stupid thing out.
I turned my attention back to my computer, where "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" was
still playing, even though the game had stopped. I walked over to my computer and
pressed the power button on the tower and turned it off.
"Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?"
The song was still playing. I unplugged the tower and monitor.
"Don't you feel that sometimes you just need to run away?"
I was panicking. I couldn't figure out where the noise was coming from. I looked
around and noticed my cell phone playing the music.
Relieved, I picked up my phone and turned the music off. I was so glad that I had
found a reasonable explanation for what was causing that noise.
I'm tired now. I think I'm going to try to do the bathroom mirror thing tomorrow.
June 3, 2006
7:47 a.m.
I woke up in the middle of the night again. This time, it was a dream. A night terror,
actually. It was terrible. I dreamt I had tried the bathroom mirror Tails Doll curse and
he came out of the mirror and began to disembowel me.
I'm scared now. I've never even had a night terror before, and I've become
disconcerted. I don't think I'm gonna try anything to do with the curse today, even
though it was just a dream. The other coincidences have been just too… coincidental.
10:05 p.m.
I saw it today. I saw it as I backed out of the driveway to go to the grocery store. It was
sitting on a shrub, looking at me with its dead eyes. It was a chilling sight, but I'm sure
I was just being paranoid. I was probably just imagining things.
I returned home and went into the living room to watch TV. I know it couldn't have
been true, but I could've sworn that I saw the Tails Doll in every commercial and even
some shows.
I'm probably just tired. I think I'll go to bed a little earlier than usual tonight.
June 4, 2008
8:13 a.m.
No dreams last night. That's a good thing. I'm about to try the mirror curse while
playing "Living in the City". It's still light out. I just woke up about twenty minutes ago.
Wish me luck.
8:45 a.m.
Nothing. I guess the mirror curse is just a load of crap. I sat in the bathroom doing the
curse every way I could think of with "Living in the City". Nevertheless, I'll still try it
tonight with "Can You Feel the Sunshine?".
10:40 p.m.
Holy crap.
That's all I have to say. Maybe I'll be brave enough to describe it tomorrow.
June 5, 2006
9:15 a.m.
Okay. Let me try describing this. I played "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" forwards.
Nothing.
Next, I played it backwards. I saw the Tails Doll staring back at me with its cold,
soulless eyes.
The gem on its head grew brighter and brighter. Tails Doll somehow produced a
switchblade and began to come toward the mirror. I tried backing up as far as I could.
Struggling to find the light switch, Tails Doll came out of the mirror and slashed at me
with the switchblade. I reached for the switch I had identified in the light from its gem,
and Tails Doll nicked my wrist.
I flipped the switch.
No Tails Doll.
I still have the cut.
3:57 p.m.
I think I'm going insane. I've been seeing the Tails Doll everywhere again. Especially
in the mirror. I've covered all the mirrors in the house.
I saw it looming outside the windows. I won't even let my parents or sister open the
blinds now. I think they're worried about me. I don't care, though. As long as I'm still
alive, I'm okay.
56:10 pm

John's journal ends there. He was found in his room with his head through his
computer monitor. His face was smashed in and a mouse was stuffed down his throat.
Autopsy reports show no cause of death. A copy of Sonic R was found in his stomach.
A three-inch cut was on his left wrist.
John's parents and sister were found with several gunshot wounds to the head. The
gun wasn't found.
John's cell phone was found playing "Can You Feel the Sunshine?" on full volume.
The song, however, was nowhere to be found on the phone.
All TVs in the house were found to be playing Sonic R. No video game systems were
found in the house. Tails Doll was doing his victory animation on every TV.

Snowclaw sends us this tale of an eye for an eye….
So I'm a big fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. One night, I was messing around on my
laptop, screwing around with the settings, when the doorbell rang. Since I was in the
basement, I had to walk upstairs and opened the door. My friend Amelea was there,
so I let her in and we both went into the basement.
Once we were down there, Amelea browsed through my games. "Hey Snowclaw,” she
gasp, ”let’s play this game!!" She held up Sonic Gems collection. I thought for a
moment and agreed, so she put in the game and chose Sonic R, "No way," I snapped.
Amelea looked at me weirdly. "What?” I finally asked. "Nothing," she said and handed
the controller to me. So I started playing and soon unlocked the Tails Doll. Suddenly,
the phone rang. I made a move for it, but my friend got there first. After a while, she
hung up and said "I gotta go." "See ya," I said and Amelea left.
I was still playing the addictive game. After some time passed, I looked at my clock and
it said 12:00 am. "Whatever," I mumbled and kept playing. About 30 minutes passed,
and my TV blacked out. "What the heck?" I said and the Tails Doll appeared.
I dropped my controller as the doll few out of the screen. I was face to face with that
damned doll, so I stood up and backed away. The doll grabbed a knife out of
nowhere, and threw it at me. I tried to doge it but the knife sliced into my left eye. I fell
to my knees holding my hand over my hemorrhaging eye!
The doll laughed and said "You’re finished!" I looked up at the doll with my good eye
and grabbed the knife he threw at me and threw it back. The doll screamed in pain as
his gem was cut off his head. I smiled and the doll vanished, leaving behind his red
gem. So I took it and looked at it. I swore I saw the Tails Doll’s face in it. I stood up and
set the gem on my desk and walked out of the basement.
To this day I am still blind in my left eye, and the blood spot were I was blinded is still
there. Even the red gem is there sitting on my desk.
So whoever reads this be warned never play Sonic R.

Magnanamous tells us a tale of “The Forgotten”…
Long before this moment, I had brother…
A younger brother, whom I despised. He and I never got along well and we never
could agree on anything. He would take my things, and leave his lying around. Being
the older brother, I would get in trouble for his misdeeds. I would go to my school and
have to deal with the same fate from kids I met there, too. I could no longer take it.
Then, I came upon your site, and read discovered the legacy of the Doll. I felt that
unleashing the demon would rid me of this cursed life I so hated. After completing the
game 100%, I hoped for the end of this tale. Nothing happened.
The following night, I met a girl with a pretty red necklace. She seemed so sad, so I
spoke to her. "Soon things would be better," I said, with a smile. She smiled back.
Each day, being with her made me happy, despite the pains in my life becoming
worse. One day, feeling defeated after restarting “Sonic R” and completing it, she
came to my window. It startled me when I first saw her, but I had no choice but to let
her in. I longed to stay with her, to ease my soul and all its woes. She and I embraced
as the pain started to disappear. I felt so calm that the ground felt it was moving. I
drifted off to sleep. As I slipped in and out of my blissful slumber, I would see her and
soon doze off once more as I felt the soft, fuzzy feeling of her next to me - each time
waking to a strange smell that she assured me that it was only the night air. Finally I
awoke to notice that time barely moved and asked her if she would like me to take her
home. She smiled and gave me one last hug as my eyes slowly faded into darkness.
I woke to what looked like a beach with just me and her, sitting at the top of a pier. She
placed a candle in a pot and finally crept close. As we sat be bathed in the shine of
the moonlight sky, I felt warm. After a few, blissful moments, I finally asked, "Where are
we?"
She smiled and dipped her hand in the water, and asked for me to join her. My hand,
wet with the warm water, pulled hers out and held her hand. We stared for as long as
we could, gazing at one another, not noticing the bodies of my fellow students and my
childish little sibling. We sang "Can You Feel the sunshine", and walked off into the
night.
I woke yet again to find that I was in a room with her. As I put on any clothing I could
find, I turned on the screen of the Television and saw that a child went missing 10
years ago, parents and siblings murdered and multiple bodies were found at his
house. I turned off the television and mumbled, "That child looks very familiar..."
At that very moment, she woke and said, "How can that be? You are still sleepy.
Come back to bed, Hon." As I pressed a random button, the television displayed the
words "Enjoy."
I crept in to bed once more, and just dreamed with her in peace.
I feel the sunshine now...
I am wrapped in the sunshine.
The room felt soft, like my sunshine....
With sunshine on my face and right beside me, together we slept, hand in hand, with
sunshine on our faces in the soft yellow room.
I was happy. So was she. We embrace the shine.

Snow feels the chill with her tale….
Not quite sure how to start this out, not that it matters right now, I suppose. I won't use
my real name. Whatever protection my fake identities provide me is worth the effort.
Either way, you can call me “Snow.”
This whole ordeal started well over a year ago. It all started with a forum I frequent. I
was in the general chat topic when one of the only other die-hard Sonic fans came
online. He came onto the chat topic as well, but all his posts were garbled. The other
members ignored him, but I tried to decipher his nonsense, and I ended up coming to
this message:
"He won't let me type correctly!! Help Tails Doll Tails Doll Tails Doll"
I didn't understand the message at the time (oh, how naïve I was...), but reading that
made me uneasy. I posted a reply asking if I was correct, and he replied that I was.
Later that night, he sent me a PM asking that I try to summon the doll. I refused. He
sent me links to information videos and webpages (including this site), and shortly
after, he disappeared from the site, never to log in again.
Nothing of incidence happened after that, and months passed. It was now October,
and I had resumed my volunteer work full force as winter approached. I just love
people in general, all life, to be honest. It's all precious to me, which is why I
volunteer. And this is how I again ran into someone who spoke of the cursed doll.
A young man came into the shelter and asked me directions to the next city. He
looked awfully ragged, and I insisted that he stay awhile and rest, perhaps have a bite
to eat or something. He was against the idea, but I was eventually able to coax him to
rest a moment and explain his story to me.
He told me about how he had decided to try the curse with his friends. He described
their deaths with great detail, and I admit, I got shivers hearing about it. I told him that
we should call the police, but he refused. A few minutes later, he left. I do not know
what became of him.
Now, I fast forward to my recent encounters. This time, it isn't someone else- it seems
to be me.
Sometimes, when I'm out shopping or out for a walk, I see a small, red light out of the
corner of my eye. Or an orange object dash out of sight, just as I turn to look. Most
recently... I saw him watching through a window while I was at college.
This is all making me incredibly uneasy. Why would he follow me?
I'd better get going. Maybe you'll hear from some of my friends sooner or later. Some
of them have stories to tell as well. Hopefully, I'll be able to write in again soon.

DotAgumon is behind this creepy missive…
My name is DotAgumon and this is my story,
I bought Sonic Gems Collection. I beat Sonic R with 100%, and tagged super Sonic
last as the Tails Doll in “tag 4 people mode,” but had I never heard of the curse. Well,
since that day I've been having weird dreams. Eventually, I had a vision of myself
playing Sonic R and being attacked the Tails Doll. After that chilling nightmare, I sold
my copy of the cursed game to a friend - let’s call him Black Arms.
After I sold it to him, he told me about the curse of Tails Doll. I then realized that I did
all of the things that summon the demon. I didn't want to tell him, though - it would
make him panic. My poor friend is all ready terrified of the Tails Doll. From that day
on, we began what you would call “research” on the beast.
On this day (10/06/10), he told me about the game Tails’ Nightmare 2. He said that at
the beginning, the Tails Doll grabs you and take you to his world. After that, he had
trouble breathing and his chest hurt. I was terrified when he told me that. I still hadn't
told him that I completed the curse... but I’m afraid I was too late.
He downloaded “Can You Feel the Sunshine” and “Living in the City” to his flash drive
and was listening to them at school. Later that day, we were chatting on a social
networking site when all of a sudden his photo changed to the Tails Doll. He had
glowing red eyes and the crimson orb. My friend IMed me nothing but TAILS DOLL
TAILS DOLL TAILS DOLL... I CONTROL HIM NOW... THE FRIEND YOU KNEW IS
GONE FOR GOOD I CONTROL HIM NOW AND YOU ARE NEXTTTT.......
Scared for my life, I ran to gather my Shadow plush and was ready to chant Sonic’s
name in Japanese really fast. Soon, the creature showed up at my front door as my
friend. My mom, not knowing what was going on, let him in. He came to me and drew
a knife.
He tried to kill me.
Unfortunately, he was successful. The Tails Doll surprisingly let me say my last words
in this message. Take my advice - don't ever sell your friend a cursed copy of Sonic
Gems. You will regret it..... TAILS DOLL TAILS DOLL TAILS DOLL.... CAN YOU
FEEL THE SUNSHINE?

Zandra is back, but her friends might not be…
Hi, It's Zandra again! I'm back again but I don't know for how long. I have a new story
and a terrifying bit of news from a friend. But first off I have to talk about a new dream I
had -- this one was so real, every detail of it seemed perfect.
I dreamt I was sitting in my room playing Sonic R. I had a stuffed animal by my side. It
was either my Shadow plushie or my stuffed dog, I couldn't tell. The screen just sat
there on the menu. I glanced out the window and saw a huge orange figure standing
by the light pole across the street, it was about 7 feet tall.
It was the Tails Doll!
It was huge! The light was casting a weird orange/red glow on the huge doll. Its gem
glowed dimly, of course red. The doll was covered in blood, huge splatters of it. It was
crudely stitched with black threads visible on it's wrists, neck, face, and belly. The doll
looked at me and smiled, revealing long, sharp, pure white teeth, oddly not stained
with blood or anything else. I stepped back from the window, surprised but not scared.
I sat down and played Sonic R.
I can't remember much about playing.... I didn't play as the Tails Doll, though. I looked
out the window again and the Tails Doll was far down the street, staring at me and
smiling with pointed teeth. It was the most realistic dream I've ever had, the room was
so real! The room was just like my room, down to the video games scattered on the
floor.
Now for the news from a friend -- I'll call her Toon. Toon believes in the Tails Doll too.
She's done the summoning songs too many times to count. After a while she began to
have a weird power. At some random times she can see into the future. It wasn't just
a one-time deal. It's happened a dozen times or so now. She recently went to Las
Vegas; I know she has internet there by the way. I haven't heard a word from Toon in
over 4 weeks. She hasn't called, emailed, or texted me. Nothing. Normally when I email
her or text her she replies later that day or the very next day. It isn't like her to not
reply! The last email I got from her four weeks ago said she was going to play Living In
The City and Can you Feel The Sunshine backwards at midnight with her stepsiblings.
Another thing that scares me is that she was supposed to be back from Las Vegas on
the 20th, it's now the 23rd. As much as it scares me, I'm going to play Living In The
City and Can You Feel The Sunshine backwards at midnight tonight. I have a horrible
feeling that Toon and her stepsiblings became slaves, I have to go find them and try
to bring them back!
I'll have a few tricks up my sleeve to bring them back. Wish me luck!

NonicTheGamer forgot something…
Hi, My name's NonicTheGamer and I'm here to tell you my story.
A long time ago, I had Sonic R for PC, and loved it. I was very young and did not know
about the curse, or the Tails Doll himself. A few years later, we got Windows XP, which
didn't run Sonic R. I was very disappointed that I couldn't play one of my favorite sonic
games, so I took it to my school, which had Windows 98 computers in the computer
lab. Sonic CD worked, so I played it for a while. Then put in Sonic R. It wouldn't work
'cuz of some color error that I didn't know how to fix, so I left it there, hoping somebody
would fix it on their own.
It disappeared the next day.
Many years passed, I grew up, and searched "Sonic R" on Google for the memories. I
scrolled down and found your site, and read all about the Tails Doll. I was very
interested, but also very scared (I even had to take my Tails plush off of display in my
room and lock it in my closet so I could sleep at night).
One day I took my Tails plush with me to a meeting at my school that my mom had to
go to (She's a teacher there). I went up to the computer lab to get on the internet the
whole time like I usually do, but when I got there, all the Mac's were replaced with
Windows 98's, and there, next to one computer, was my old copy of Sonic R! I knew it
was the same one because the picture on the disc was mostly scratched off and
"Sonic R" was written on it with sharpie. I took really bad care of my games back then.
I was so excited that I forgot about the curse and popped into the computer, only to
see my mom come in, telling me that it's time to go.
I took Sonic R to my house and, somehow, it worked! I played it for hours and finally
beat. I decided to play tag 4 characters as my favorite character, none other than Mr.
TD himself! As I was about to tag Sonic, I got my mind off of the frustration and
thought, "WHAT AM I DOING?!?!?!?". I took my finger off of the forward key to save
myself, but the Doll kept moving forward and tagged Sonic! I knew I was screwed, so I
ran to my parents’ room, but they weren't there! When I came back, the
congratulations screen was on and the picture of the Tails Doll was looking at me. I
stared at it until a spider crawled on my foot, snapping me out of it. My eyes hurt SO
bad after staring that long, I couldn't even see! I tried to run away but I kept running
into things. Losing consciousness, I finally got outside my house and passed out in
the grass.
I woke up the next morning, and everything was back to normal, except my Tails plush
was lying on my floor with a sticky note on it that said "You forgot the blue chaos
emerald -----TD P.S. Can you feel the sunshine?" I forgot to get the blue emerald? I
didn't fully do the curse! I felt so relieved! I put the plush in my closet with the note still
on it, and I have barley gone in there since.

It’s been a while since last we herd from Alex, but it seems he’s OK – for now...
Dear readers,
It has been a long time since I last posted. Since that time, I have well... Survived.
I have now escaped the Doll's grip, and am now living a normal life, I swear. Though, if
I ever see that doll again, I will run instead of embracing it. As you can see from my
last post, I sorta "embraced it," once before. Yeah…
Well, hopefully I’ll write you again soon. Otherwise, well…

Remember -- NEVER PLAY SONIC R. It will ruin your

DarkravenXXX is learning that a little knowledge can be a lot of trouble…
Hi. I’m Darkravenxxx, and this is my first post, so enjoy!
I’ve never met the Tails Doll.
It was a Saturday morning when my friend told me about Sonic R. We were seven at
the time. The day was cold and grey, so we checked the store for games. My friend
was a Sonic fan, but I just saw him as another generic, cash cow game character. My
friend saw Sonic Gems and he was off to the counter, face so full of joy and
excitement.
I just rolled my eyes.
We jogged to his house in the rain. We grabbed two cans of coke and went upstairs. I
sat on the pc, watching videos of games I wasn’t aloud to buy, like GTA 3. He just sat
there, like a vegetable, mouth open as he played the game. His coke wasn’t opened
for 1 hour, so I took it.
He didn't notice.
The sweet fizz slid down my throat as I stared at the obsessed child in front of me.
After another awkward 10 minutes silence he shouted "Woot! 77% complete!" with
glee.
I looked at my watch. It was time for me to go. "Well, gotta go. See you at school," I
said with regret. We hadn't talked much that day, and we couldn’t talk much the next
since the soul-crushing teachers at school forbid us to sit near each other. "Ok, see
you tomorrow," he said, resuming his game. I left, and went home. The weather was
bleak as hell. He continued this addiction for two more painful weeks.
Just then, its gone
Seven years later, we’re 14 and still good friends. He is no longer obsessed with
Sonic. Now he prefers anything violent. We went through our normal lives, repeating
days like a scratched record -- until one day, he surprised me. He came into school,
grey as death itself, with massive bags under his eyes to match. He was tired all the
time. He was like this for two weeks. It became unbearable. He wouldn’t say a word to
me. I grabbed him by the arms and shook him. "What the hells wrong with you?" I
asked, getting angry. He shrugged me off, and as he left, he murmured 3 words.
"Tails Doll curse..."
I stood there, wondering who was the Tails Doll, and what was this curse? Then I
remembered, Tails Doll was a character from his favorite game, Sonic R. Just
remembering that game annoyed me. It had turned him to a mindless…well, just
mindless. By the time I remembered, he was gone.
I went home, did homework and loaded up Google. This thing had saved my ass with
homework so many times. Out of lingering curiosity, I typed in Tails Doll. A bunch of
nerds posting stories was my first analysis - but that was soon to change.
I read some stories and, even though I hate Sonic and Friends, I kept reading. I
wanted to shun it as fake, but the fear and uncertainty was there now. (You wouldn’t
be afraid to step on a crack until some one told you the old phrase "step on a crack
and break your mothers back," right?)
I wasn’t a superstitious person, but I eventually asked my friend to show me the curse.
He just kept saying "No, you don’t want to do this!" The scary thing was, this was
horribly convincing. He booted up the game. Time went horribly slow, tagging the first
3 racers in order took around 10 minutes. Then it was just that cash cow Super Sonic
left. I was sweating and gulping. The stories I’ve read played in my head. He caught
him. It was too much.
I closed my eyes.
"You fell for it, you derp," laughed my friend. I feebly opened my eyes. He tricked me.
"You twat," I laughed. Even though it scared me shitless, it was rather amusing. "Well,
time for my tea, and time for you, you pussy, to go," he chuckled. "Yeah, alright. Bye,"
I said, relieved. My friend had turned back to his old, flamboyant self. I went down the
stairs and went out into the bleak, rainy day.
Another two months went by, then the words "Tails Doll" popped into my head. I don't
know why, I hadn’t any idea. So I went home and checked back on this site. Around
three more volumes had been added, so I read some. For two weeks, I was obsessed.
I really thought I was in danger of from doing the curse. I was up ‘till four in the
morning, under the covers on the PSP, reading. Then it faded away again. Then one
month and three weeks later, I was back again, getting no sleep for two weeks
straight. Then I gave it up again. I kept swearing I wasn’t coming back, but then the
nightmares came. In them, everything was black and white and had an ambient light
like the Tails Doll's red gem. I was going through my normal school day, but
everybody had the gems on their heads, except me. I would wake up in cold sweats,
and when I finally drifted back to sleep – bam! Back into this hidden world of darkness
I would be thrust once more.
Now it’s every 2 days. I am becoming an insomniac. My sanity is deteriorating. I am
hearing things. We all know what’s coming next.
Please help. Send me a message on Quacker Duk's Club Rouge if you have any
comments.
Now let me restate my old, well, statement
I haven’t seen the Tails Doll... yet.

Crasher is responsible for this strange submission…
Call me Crasher. This happened like 2 years ago.
So I was with this family for a sleepover. I entertained the oldest of their kids (who was
7 or 8 at that time) and we went to sleep around 9:00. I had joked around, saying the
thing about the Tails Doll curse a few times. I thought it was no matter to worry about.
Until he had the dream.
He went to sleep, suddenly putting himself into a world of Dinosaurs (he was a fan of
Dino King) and he noticed something... weird about a T-Rex. The earth was stained
with blood and the T-Rex had a red gem (yes, a red gem) on his head. It was glowing.
He was hit by the T-Rex. Next thing he knew, he was in the world of Pokemon. He had
just gotten Pokémon Pearl (or something like that), but the Legendary was this GIANT
monster thing. That was in the game AND you could capture it. I forgot the name for
the game. He was in the area where the legendary could be fought. Again, there was
a Red Gem on his forehead. The Pokémon swiped at him and he woke up. He went
downstairs to tell his mother and father, but he felt he was being watched. The weird
thing is, he hasn’t even PLAYED Sonic R, nor heard of it. I never mentioned that the
doll has a red gem, so how could he dream of it?
I was the one who had done the curse (in daylight). I still don’t understand why the doll
would be invading his dreams.

Shadow Elite things he might have stumbled upon a few “Revelations,” but you’ll have
to take them on faith…
Hi, I am Shadow Elite, but you can call me Shadow.
I finally know how to completely destroy the Tails Doll! Have you heard about the war
of heaven and hell being brought to the Earth? The Antichrist is Tails Doll! I found out
he has seven exclusives (mini bosses) that match the seven nations of Antichrist!
If Jesus is reborn and his Seven Purest souls come together and fight well can destroy
the Antichrist Tails Doll! I am the purest soul of Faith! God told me all of this! Now if
you are reading this, it does talk about Pure Souls and Dark Souls in the last part of
the Bible.
These are the Tails Dolls' weak spots - the red gem, the zipper and it’s loins. Before
we go to war, I will say one last thing: the Tails Doll isn't really a doll. It is a disguise. It
is really a demon under there. It is 666.
Holy Crap! The light are flashing on and off. Got to go, bye!

The next entry in the saga of Sal T. Dillo!
Concentrating has become increasingly difficult the past few days. I can’t stop thinking
about how odd it is that the Doll hasn’t found me yet. The trackers are still after me,
though I have a fair lead on them, but why doesn’t the Tails Doll just come and do the
dirty work himself? It wouldn’t take him but a second. Does he not consider me a
threat?
In any case, I managed to find the diner of which I was informed. Apparently, it had
been closed down due to a staff shortage the previous year. The door and windows
were boarded up arbitrarily. The workmanship was shoddy and easily dismantled. The
fools may as well have put a welcome matt outside of the door. On second thought,
they probably didn’t suspect anybody would want to break into a place like that
anyhow.
They suspected wrong.
As I entered the diner, I was greeted by the stench of dishes that hadn’t been properly
cleaned. The entire place was coated in grime, and the sunshine coming through the
windows illuminated a myriad of dust motes floating in the air. There was a splatter of
some red substance as well as a few holes in one of the windows.
Suspicious.
I began my search of the area near that window, looking for any clue that might aid my
quest. As I was about to move on, a small scrap of cloth on the floor near one of the
seats caught my eye. I examined it thoroughly, noticing there was a bit of blood on it.
This could potentially be an invaluable piece of evidence. Considering how long ago
this was left here, though, there was no way a dog could possibly trace the scent. But I
knew someone, or something, that could.
If you are half as intelligent as the trackers are, then you already know I am referring
to them. They could sniff down a three year old lead in the wintertime. However, my
plan was immediately confronted with two major issues. For one thing, the trackers
aren’t trying to hunt the person I am – they’re hunting me! However, if I get enough of
my scent on it, they may associate my smell with that of that boy, Ethan. They might
think that if they find him, they find me. My plan was beginning to take form, but I still
had an itsy bitsy problem on my hands… They’re not going to go after some extremely
vague lead if I’m right here. No, I was going to have to do something extreme to get
them off my trail.
The first thing I did was go out and purchase an entirely new ensemble. The clothes I
was wearing probably reeked of my natural scent. Next, I went to a general store and
purchased about five cans of Lysol. After that, I was lucky enough to find some odor
eliminator made specifically for hunting and purchase it. Hey, I was looking for a gun.
Afterward, I checked into the nearest hotel and immediately went to wash. Then, after
donning my newly purchased clothes, Lysol, and odor eliminator, I was ready. About a
day later, the trackers came. As predicted, they caused quite a ruckus in town before
heading off to the diner that I had undoubtedly left my putrid stench all over. They
didn’t take the bait at first, preferring to follow my trail to all of the stores I’d visited
and, after that, to my hotel room. That, however, is where they lost my scent. They
had no choice but to backtrack to the diner and take the scrap as evidence. As my
scent had been virtually erased from existence, the trackers had little choice but to
head off toward my target. Am I a genius or what?

GenesisMarcusII dreamed a nightmare of spine-tingling proportions…
I had gotten into remixing video game music. One day, I remixed "Can You Feel the
Sunshine?" into G Major. I posted it on the web, along with a comment about the Tails
Doll ending the world tomorrow.
The next morning, I woke up to severe weather warnings in my area. Later, I watched
in horror as a tornado and a flood sped towards my house, but then I saw eerie red
glows coming from the weather. Then lightning struck, but it wasn't white -- it was
RED! Then a small yellowish doll emerged from the water, slowly floating towards the
door. The door opened without anything touching the doorknob. The power went out,
but strangely, only in my house.
Suddenly, the lights began flickering insanely fast while my G Major Mix of "Can You
Feel the Sunshine" played very loudly. Everything went dark. I regained
consciousness at two in the morning, but with "Kill your family and the Tails Doll will
respect you" repeatedly written in blood on the walls and floor. A knife was floating in
a jar of blood on the kitchen counter. When I pulled the knife out, it was totally clean,
no marks or blood. I dumped out the blood, but it didn't come out of the jar.
Then I saw a Tails Doll without the jewel on its head next, resting next to my Sonic doll.
I then heard my other G Major Mix loudly playing. All the lights went out, but it was at
night and it was as bright in the room as it would be with the lights on. Then everything
went truly DARK, and I couldn't see a thing except for a red glow. I managed to turn a
light on, but instead of a fox-like doll, it was a charred cat-like doll, with a meter on its
back and a valve on top of its head. It looked like a Steampunk version of the Tails
Doll. Its eyes glowed a blinding red and I fainted again.
I woke up in December. There was no snow at all, and it wasn't cold. I walked
throughout my house, yet nobody was there, not even my pets. I checked the day
again, but it was December 85th. I seemed to have warped into a time that doesn't
exist at all, with absolutely nobody at all. The entire world was in ruins.
Turning a corner, I encountered the Tails Doll. I tried to rip it onto pieces but every
time I touched it, I bled. I dashed to a hardware store to get a hammer to smash the
jewel on the Tails Doll. The Tails Doll said "Come out and play...” in a child-like voice. I
found myself in a level of Sonic R. Racing only against Tails Doll. I ducked and could
Spin Dash, so I did it and then I ran insanely fast. A few yards away from the finish
line, I lost all of the abilities I had received earlier in the race. The Tails Doll beat me.
Turning two me, it stared deep into my soul with those horrible eyes.
"I said if I win, I get to kill you. If you win, you get to kill me. You agreed. You just lost,
so I have to kill you."
I remembered agreeing to that! When the knife BARELY touched me, I went black
again.
I woke up again, with life back to normal. It was just another school day. That night,
when I went back to sleep, I had dreams of a toymaker and a scientist with the last
name of Robotnik, making the cat doll I seen earlier. Soon, they were killed by the
dolls.

Two years after Dagdress4 wrote us, we get an eerie update…
This is Syt56, once known as Dagdress4.
It has been two years since I tried to do the "curse," and my friend K's dog vanished.
The poor animal vanished the morning after she made fun of the curse.
Every Halloween, I go to this site to read all the Tails Doll stories to set the mood,
although this year, it was different. Every night I feel like I'm being watched. When I
play games on my PC with the Tails Doll stories in the backround, my computer gets
the blue screen of death. This has happened four times. I will say real quick that I
don't believe in the Doll, but I believe that it has some coincidences around it.
One morning, a few days after I stopped reading the stories, I got a pain inside my
body forcing myself not to laugh, or get pain. I though it was a muscle crap, although I
hadn’t been active lately. Maybe I was sleeping on it wrong?
When I was reading the stories for Halloween on a different laptop, I heard a noise not
too far away from the window. It sounded like it had come from just outside. I guessed
it might have been the "Shlumpy" noise, since I never knew what it would sound like. I
guessed it was my imagination, although I did stare at the window for a moment
wondering what the hell I just heard. Finally, I moved on.
One day, my curiosity got the best of me, and I went to the house next door. The
house was empty. It was K's home. The entire family seemed to all have gone to
school/work, so I went to the basement. That’s where I left the Gems Collection. On
the way down stairs, in the dark, were the shelves where I put the game, hoping to
never play it. It wasn't there. I looked in my old room, still not there.
I remembered the time before I bought Gems Collection, when I drew a picture of the
Tails Doll that said "Play with me" and hung it up in my room. Back then, I was
obsessed with the stories and had fun believing him.
I went back to the shelves and at the very top was the game. I held it and a sudden jolt
ran through me. I looked at the back of the box, checking out what it said about Sonic
R. I laughed when it said "Speed Demons." I put it back on the shelf, knowing that I
don't want to bring any bad luck to my surroundings. Then I heard a voice in my head
say "Play it." I passed it on as my imagination.
Now the reason I want to post this is because I just woke up from a dream. To be
clear, during the years of reading the Tails Doll I NEVER had a dream about him and I
always wondered why.
This was a week after I stopped thinking about the Doll.
This started as an ordinary dream, were things didn't make much sense and random
friends/family would appear. I noticed something different. In my arms was a Tails
Doll. This stuck out of my dream when everything else was like a normal dream. It had
black eyes stitched on it, but one thing was missing...
The gem.
In my dream, he came to life at random times saying he wanted to help, but I don't
remember what he helped me with. In my dream, I put him aside my bed thinking I was
trying to do something proving about the doll. I don't remember what I was doing,
though. This is when I had a dream within a dream, and when I woke up, I would wake
up with the Tails Doll there.
Finally I woke up for real, thinking, "What did I just dream?" That’s when I decided to
write this story. It’s only been a few minutes since I woke up.
All of this is true once. Still do this day, my friend K never linked her dog vanishing to
the curse that happened the night before.

Chatterbox gets an enigmatic missive from the enemy...
Hey guys, Chatterbox here! Something weird has been happening, and I want to see if
any of you know why this is happening to me!
So, I was wide awake and my cat, Sparta ,was lying right beside me. He was meowing
a lot more than usual. As if he was trying to tell me something --
But he was much too late!
I saw a red glowing gem with eyes glaring at me!
"Hello again, Jared!"
"What do you want now?" I asked bravely
"I just want to give you a little warning..."
"W-Well let's hear it!" I stammered
"Don't let it take control of you, Jared! Don't let it overcome you!"
He then vanished again, before I could say another word. What was he talking about?
If I can write back, I will. Until then, Bye guys!

Zandra is back, but her friend might not be...
Hi, It's Zandra again!
I'm back, but I don't know for how long. I have a new story and a terrifying bit of news
from a friend. But first off, I have to talk about a new dream I had. This one was so
real, every detail of it seemed perfect.
I dreamt I was sitting in my room playing Sonic R. I had a stuffed animal by my side - it
was either my Shadow plushie or my stuffed dog, I couldn't tell. The screen just sat
there on the menu screen. I glanced out the window and saw a huge orange figure
standing by the light pole across the street. It was about 7 feet tall. It was the Tails
Doll! It was huge. The light was casting a weird orange/red glow on the huge doll. Its
gem shone dimly, of course it glowed red. The doll was covered in blood, huge
splatters of it. It was crudely stitched with black threads visible on its wrists, neck, face,
and belly. The doll looked at me and smiled, revealing long, sharp, pure white teeth,
oddly not stained with blood or anything else. I stepped back from the window,
surprised but not scared. I sat down and played Sonic R. I can't remember much
about playing....
I didn't play as the tails doll though. I looked out the window again and the Tails Doll
was far down the street, staring at me and smiling with pointed teeth. It was the most
realistic dream I've ever had - the room was so real! The room was just like my room,
down to the video games scattered on the floor.
Now, for the news from a friend. I'll call her Toon for now. Toon believes in the Tails
Doll too. She's done the summoning songs too many times to count. After a while, she
began to have a weird power. At random times, she can see into the future. It wasn't
just a onetime deal, it's happened a dozen times or so.
She recently went to Las Vegas. I know she has internet there, yet haven't heard a
word from Toon in over 4 weeks. She hasn't called, emailed, or texted me. Nothing.
Normally, when I email her or text her, she replies later that day or the day after. It
isn't like her to not reply! The last email I got from her 4 weeks ago said she was going
to play “Living In The City” and “Can you Feel The Sunshine” backwards at midnight
with her step siblings. Another thing that scares me is that she was supposed to be
back from Las Vegas on the 20th, it's now the 23rd. As much as it scares me, I'm
going to play “Living In The City” and “Can You Feel The Sunshine” backwards at
midnight tonight. I have a horrible feeling that Toon and her step siblings became
slaves. I have to go find them and try to bring them back.
I'll have a few tricks up my sleeve to bring them back, so wish me luck!

NonBeliver6673 sends us this reportedly TRUE tale...
This is a TRUE story
It all started that one night. I was in bed, bored to death. I couldn’t fall asleep, so I got
on my iPod and searched up the Tails Doll on You Tube. Of course, I’ve heard he’s
evil, but I’d never heard of the curse. I watched some videos about it, and the more I
watched, the more horrified I began to be.
Then I thought, and thought, and thought, and realized how stupid I was acting, and
eventually fell asleep.
The next morning I went to my neighbor’s house (I’m home-schooled there) like
always, booted up my iPod, went on You Tube, and found the video of “Can You Feel
the Sunshine Backwards.” As soon as it started, a chill ran up my spine, but I stuck
through it.
Throughout the day, I felt as if someone was watching me...
At about 7:00 I went home, and played the song to my brother again. I was creeped
out. Later that night, I swore I seen a red light in my parents room. I rushed to my
room and surprisingly fell asleep fast. I dreamt that the Tails Doll was watching me...
Just staring at me...
With his lifeless eyes...
I still don’t believe in the Tails Doll, but this was just scary.
____________________________________________________________________
This is a scary story is from a friend of the late Lee T...
One day, I was talking with my friends on skype. As a joke, we were making fun of the
Tails Doll because we didn't believe it existed. That all changed the next day. I got on
skype again to talk to my friends, but one of them didn't log on. We knew her as
'Tank', because that's what everyone calls her. She was the only girl in our group, and
had a lot of sense. Her little brother logged on an hour after we did, extremely
depressed. She was murdered. Her room was covered in blood, and there was a note
in the middle of it. It read "We... are... chosen... for... justice...death...shall...take...us..
all...."
I couldn't believe it. After her funeral, I looked at the news clipping again. I wanted to
see if the murderer was there. I was shocked to find that a sega saturn was hooked up
to her tv, and it was turned on. The real problem was that she never owned a sega
saturn. Nowadays, sega saturns are outdated. All of a sudden, my friend called me.
He was breathing quickly, panicked. He told me that some kind of ghost was haunting
him.
"M..Marty!! Th...this is L..Lee. L--llisten man. This is very serious!! I... I Just saw the
freakin’ Tails Doll, man! I..ITS IN MY ROOM!! DUDE, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
YOU HAVE TO HELP ME, MAN!!!" At that moment, I dropped the phone. The thoughts
that kept rushing in my head were, 'Oh my god.... what have we DONE??? We have
angered the Tails Doll! This is bad, this is real bad....' Again, I picked up the phone. I
tried to see who was on the other line. A dark, sadistic voice came from the other end.
"Can...you...feel...the...sunshine...?"
The phone suddenly hung up. My skin literally turned white as I learned later that my
friend Lee was chopped up into little pieces, and stuffed into a gore-soaked plush
bear with a blood red ribbon chocking its neck. There was a message with the bear.
"Would you like flowers with your valentine?" it read.
I heard that the bear was buried in a casket. I was upset, because he died single. I
wanted him to find the one he was looking for, but that plan has now ended in a total
failure.
Another friend of mine, named Nick, was with us when we made fun of the Tails Doll. I
was worried, so I got onto yahoo messenger to contact him. We decided to stay away
from skype until the crisis was over. I told him what happened to Lee, and he stood
there in shock. Nick does believe in the Tails Doll, and he started to freak out. "Whoa
- whoa! Wait...do..do you hear that?? OH MY GOD DO YOU HEAR THAT???" "Hear
what?" I asked in confusion. I could hear him shift his microphone in a random
direction... and I heard a moaning voice. I shuddered "NICK!! QUICK! GET OUT OF
THERE!!" I heard him dash away quickly, and the ominous voice just seemed to
disappear with him. I haven’t heard from him since. A few days later, his sister said
that she found his insides ripped from his chest and were wrapped around his dead
body, as he lay there with no face.
This worried me, so I ran to my friend, Elick’s house, where his older sister died. He
still was grief-stricken because of the loss of a family member. I talked to him about
the Tails Doll killing Nick and what his little sister said. The news wasn't taken lightly,
and he started to shiver. "Oh no! First my sister, then Lee...and now... Nick? I always
knew the Tails Doll was real. We need to figure out a way to stop it! There must be
some way." I rushed over to his desktop computer. "I know! Let’s google it!"
We googled ways to defeat the Tails Doll, but they were all weird and some were
about ads. "This isn't working," he said, looking down at the ground and walking off. I
thought that there would be some way to destroy the Tails Doll, but I was wrong. All of
a sudden, I heard an alarming scream from the other room. When I ran in there, it was
too late. His body was gone, replaced with a twisted and grisly carcass. There was a
clown head that had his face, smiling and dripping of blood. It had red hair, and
spiders came out of its neck.
I heard an ominous voice... saying "Who...will...it...be...?" and dissipating immediately.
I heard the TV on, so I looked behind me. I saw a sega saturn, hooked up to the TV.
"He's going to kill us all! If only we'd known this would happen!" I ran over to their
phone and called 911, and then told his and my parents. I told them everything I saw
and everything that was happening to my friends on skype. They thought I was
insane, but after they saw the victim they believed me. They confiscated the sega
saturn and took me to the hospital, so I could heal from my trauma.
That was the last time I ever heard about the Tails Doll.

Samuelthegreenfox is looking for a friend, as well as a way to control his powers…
Hi, I’m Samuelthegreenfox. Call me Samuel for short.
I am in search for allies against this monster, the doll made my life a bloody nightmare.
I should start from the beginning…
I believed. Oh, I believed alright, but I was curious, and terrified my pal Sonic the
Shapeshifter was one of the few who survived and I may be next.
I need to find her and maybe we can join forces...
Little did I know that I didn’t need to play Sonic R to awaken him. I felt frozen solid
when I looked behind me, and slowly I saw the dreaded menace. He clutched a bloody
knife, with gore splattered everywhere. I dared not look into his eyes, but I blacked
out.
I woke in a forest at nighttime; the doll then appeared across the plains and beckoned
me like he wanted to fight me.
See, I have a power - a power I’m not meant to use for many reasons. One reason is
that it could kill me if I use it too much. At this point, I didn’t have much of a choice.
I swung my arm like I would with a sword and I started to smoke with green aura. A
vibrant green sword appeared in my hand
"Let's do this, ya’ cotton coward!"
We rushed at each other and before we collided, he quickly grew his claws and
terrifying teeth. When we passed each other, all was silent.
*Slash* *Slash* *Schlurrrrrrrppp*
"I cant win this alone. I need to get to my friend," I thought. "Hey, you know what else i
can do," I taunted the doll.
*warp*
Even as I was warping, I heard the doll’s demonic screams. I warped straight to Sonic
(the shapeshifter)'s house. I was bloody and shredded, and almost dead. I knocked
on the door and there she was, ready for a fight.
Ten days passed, and then I decided to let you guys in on my close encounter.
'Till next time!
-Samuel

Coby Hampton had a brush with the curse…
So one day, my brother invited his friend to sleep over. Very late at night, I ran into his
room because I heard noises. My brother (let's call him C) was asleep, while his friend
(K) was on YouTube watching a Tails Doll video. I asked him what it was and K told me.
So, I started to watch the videos when I fell asleep to a strange dream. I was in a dark
room with a song about sunshine playing. I heard a thing walking around and I said
"Who's there?"
"This is my favorite song, you know. Oh, by the way, don't bother
playing the game," the creature said.
"Who are you?" I yelled.
"Let me give you a hint," It said.
Then a red light glowed in the darkness.
"Let me go!!" I yelled.
"Fine. But tell all your friends. I don't need boundaries of that stupid disk anymore." It
said.
"Oh my God. You’re the Tails Doll." I shouted.
"One more thing. Do you feel the sunshine?" Tails Doll said.
I woke up and immediately goggled up Tails Doll. I came across something scary.
There was a picture that said "Do you feel the sunshine?"
I told my friends about it and they think I'm crazy. So this is the only place that I can
tell my story. I do this a lot. I have to go.

xXAshimusPrimeXx wrote us last year. Now she returns with an update to her
situation...
This is xXAshimusPrimeXx again, and I believe the Tails Doll has found me.
How do I know this? When I originally made my first message, it was back in 2009.
On October 9th of 2009, my uncle passed away due to illness. Wither or not the Tails
Doll had anything to do with it has been bugging me, and I'm not happy at all. My
uncle was a great man loved by many. The Tails Doll is going to pay for what he has
done.
At times I can see a red light when I walk around the house at night, then it goes away.
The Tails Doll is here and I know it. It also explains why my dog, Shadow, starts to
bark at night.
He hasn't been able to enter my room for a strange reason. Being a fan of
Transformers, I have three Optimus Prime action figures in my room. Could they be
protecting me? This is uncertain, but I have a feeling that they are. The action figures
of the Autobot Leader I look up to are protecting me from the Tails Doll.
At times I hear fighting sounds in my room as well, even over my music that I have
playing at night. I also have three guardian angels, I have a feeling that they are
protecting me as well. But for how long can they keep this up? That is also unknown.
It looks like if the Tails Doll wants me, he's going to have to keep fighting all six of my
protectors, in order to get to me. Even if I am cursed, there is no way the Tails Doll will
be able to get my soul. For now...
UPDATE: That was in April. This new letter recently arrived.
This is xXAshimusPrimeXx again and I have good reason to believe that the Tails Doll
is toying with me, or trying to. I had my first nightmare that had that... thing in it.
I remember the nightmare vividly. I was playing my Xbox 360 Elite, what game I was
playing I don't know for sure... But it looked a bit like Halo: Reach. This makes sense
because I had watched a trailer for Halo: Reach before I called it a night and went to
bed. Anyways, I had accidentally betrayed one of my teammates in Social Slayer, and
just as I was about to send a message apologizing, since it was an accident, I received
two messages from one of the players in the match. The one that I foolishly opened
said something like this "Walkthrough to Sonic R from TailsDoll123". I had known
about the Tails Doll in my nightmare as well, but to be honest I didn't think anything of
the username as I opened the message. As soon as I opened it the family room
television screen went black, so I just assumed that the power went out, but then it
showed it. Before it showed the Tails Doll I had a feeling in my gut to get away from
the television, so I quickly got up and jolted to the hallway, before the Tails Doll
showed up on the television.
(On a side note, I have never played Sonic R before in my life, but I have heard of it
from other people who have submitted to your site.)
Even though it only seemed to be some type of 3-D flash video of the Tails Doll
playing on the family room television, I was still afraid. I glanced over at the family
room computer and noticed that it had "... ..." on the screen, background, and all of
the shortcuts on the screen, which only increased my fears. I incisively ran to my dad's
bedroom and asked in fear "D-dad? Can you turn off the family room TV for me? I'm
too afraid too..." he didn't reply, but he did nod. He was watching "Cops" on his
television. I felt slightly reassured as I began to walk to my room, which wasn't too far
from my dad's room, but then I had a feeling that I was in danger.
At this point I woke up with a start, because somehow I was able to pull myself free
from the nightmare. Out of both instinct and the urge to feel safe, I grabbed my
Optimus Prime plushie that was right next to me, and began to cling to him tightly as I
closed my eyes. But that did not do me much good, because I soon as I closed my
eyes, I saw an outline of the Tails Doll... It was inside of my head. I began to panic as I
looked over at the deer mount that was in the guest bedroom, and I nearly had a
heart attack, when I confused it for the Tails Doll.
(Another side note, I have poor eye sight and have to wear glasses when I am awake,
so this explains why I confused the deer mount for the Tails Doll, especially after just
waking up from a nightmare that had it toying with me.)
I felt my heart rate rise quickly, as I buried my face in my Optimus Prime plushie's
back, and started to breathe quickly. But I realized right then that I was giving the Tails
Doll what it wanted, a reaction. My reaction of fear was exactly what it wanted. As soon
as I realized this, I began to slow down my breathing, which in turn, began to slow
down my heart rate. The Tails Doll didn't give up then, but he never showed himself
outside of my mind. While the Tails Doll tried to make me afraid of it again, I dug in my
mind for all of the weaknesses I knew about the Tails Doll.
I tried to ignore it, I tried to think of other things, but it would do it's best to get my
attention and try to scare me. I had finally had enough "I need my MP3 player NOW." I
said as I grabbed my Walkman MP3 player, and changed the song to "Endless
Possibilities" from the Sonic Unleashed soundtrack. The Tails Doll flinched when he
heard the song, but that's all that happened. I felt my fear go away and became more
confident, as I then listened to the Transformers theme song made by the band
Deceptibots in 2007. Amazingly the Tails Doll was affected by this song more than
"Endless Possibilities", and without missing a beat, I switched to "Till All Are One" by
Stan Bush, and that dealt the finishing blow. The Tails Doll faded away as I felt safer
than before, and I then cuddled my Optimus Prime plushie, knowing that in a way... he
helped protect me. After a few moments I pressed pause on my MP3 player, moved up
the switch that said "Hold", and then finally I turned my MP3 player off and placed it on
the desk next to me. Within a few seconds or so I was able to fall back asleep. It was
around 6:10 AM (Eastern Standard Time) in the morning when everything settled
down, and I completely fell asleep.
Ever since what happened earlier today, I haven't seen any signs of the Tails Doll.
xXAshimusPrimeXx: 1, Tails Doll: 0.
I may have won this round, but I fear that this will not be the last time I will have to deal
with the Tails Doll.
Until next time, xXAshimusPrimeXx out.

Uh, oh. Looks like we’ve lost another comrade, and gained a new enemy according to
this intercepted message from Fred Whisenant.
Tails Doll, I don't know if you are reading this, but you may be. My name is Fred
Whisenant, and I wish to join you. My only requests are as follows (though I doubt they
will be granted): I wish to say goodbye to one person, and I wish for everyone to forget
about me, though I suspect that would already happen.
I hereby pledge my soul to you, the one and only true Tails Doll.
I wish to feel the Sunshine firsthand, and only through you may this occur.
I hereby give up my past life in order to willingly serve ye.
I am your willing servant, and you are, if you so choose, my wondrous Master.
If I be a Pure Soul, then I apologize to everyone else, but you are soon doomed.
Tails Dolls Forever. Teiruzudōru eien.

Demon God returns with a new tale – this one about his escape!
It's me, Demon God again. Last time I told you Tails Doll made me his servant. Well, I
found how to escape...... I met somebody there who was friendly and we both wanted
to get away from Tails Doll's base, and he knew EVERYTHING about Tails Doll. Then
we tried something I came up with.
We went into Tails Doll's bathroom after 11:00 AM and stood in front of the mirror and
sang "It Doesn't Matter" backwards. Then, the mirror broke and there was an exit
behind it. We both escaped!
I came back home, excited to see my parents, when I saw them DEAD ON THE
KITCHEN FLOOR! I was so scared, sad, and angry all at the same time. I vowed
revenge against Tails Doll. He probably hated me since I broke out of his base. I
started writing a book about Tails Doll, since I was a top-notch Tails Doll hater.
Eventually, the Tails Doll sought me out. He said, "I'll ask you what I did before. Will
you be my servant, or will you accept DEATH? "Neither," I said. I sang "It doesn't
matter" backwards, and Tails Doll canceled it out by singing "Livivg in the City"
backwards. I thought I was going to DIE, so I just ran as fast as I could to Wal-Mart to
get a Sonic plush, but then I realized something: A Sonic Plush didn't work before, so
WHY would it work then?
So, then I just kept running. The Tails Doll caught up to me and nearly killed me
before I said the following words: "Please play with me!" Tails Doll then said "W-w-
what? You'll play with me even after I killed your Mom and Dad?" I responded, "Yes,
because I know that's all you ever wanted. A friend!" Tails Doll said, "Thank you! Let's
go now!" I then caught him off guard, knocked him down, and picked up the knife he
dropped. I then said, "Only if you give back all the souls you stole will I play with you."
Tails Doll said," NEVER! THOSE PEOPLE HATED ME!" So, I cut off the antennae
connecting the jewel to his head and he disappeared. I'm hiding from him now,
though, because I'm SURE he's alive looking for me.
Can You Feel the Sunshine? I sure as heck can.

Christine 'Scream Queen' Parker provides us these killer cantos...
The night was fateful. My life's not the same
since I found the Sonic R game.
I played until my fingers bled
and blood came rushing to my head.
I couldn't tell what was real or fake.
My Mom told me to take a break.
But I didn't listen -- I never did,
for I was just a foolish kid.
Mom yelled "are you listening to what I'm saying?"
I just ignored her and kept on playing.
My sister, Lee, she joined the fight,
said I'd get in trouble -- she was right...
I knew that something wasn't right,
when I was awoke that night.
Strangely, I heard someone sing
Samara's song from “The Ring.”
"Here we go, the world is spinning.
When it stops, its just beginning...
Sun comes up, we live and we cry.
Sun goes down, and then we all die..."
This eerie music drew me out,
It cleared my mind of fear and doubt.
I heard its melody and sang along,
but it began to change the song.
I followed its rhythm. I followed its rhyme
and I soon began to walk in time.
"One, Two,
I'm coming for you.
Three, Four,
Better lock your door.
Five, Six,
Grab your crucifix.
Seven, eight,
Gotta stay up late.
Nine, ten..."
The haunting melody changed again,
I wondered why it stopped at ten.
All of a sudden, I was filled with fright
as I saw the burning crimson light.
A furry body followed along,
as I discovered who was singing the song.
"Who are you?" I asked fearfully,
as the thing grabbed hold of me.
"I have lived here all along.
I am what has come and gone.
I am an angel of death, a beast against humanity,
hanging off the edge of insanity..."
That was the answer to my question.
The fleeting moment filled up with tension.
"What do you mean? What's your name?"
I asked a question once again.
I was always such a curious girl,
but this had made my confidence furl.
"I'm the Tails Doll..." the creature replied
with a smile of bloodthirsty pride.
Now I knew this creature's goal,
he had come to steal my soul!
After what the Tails Doll said,
I began to run. I fled.
Screaming, crying, I let out a yelp;
An ever-so-desperate shriek for help.
I foolishly stumbled, tripping;
he slashed, I felt my bare flesh ripping .
My blood flowed hot and red,
If not for my alarm I'd be dead.
I woke up. It was a brand new day.
I lied, "Ha! I wasn't scared of him anyway!"
I noticed when walking down the halls,
“TAILS DOLL” was scribbled on the walls.
My stomach began to twist into a knot.
Blood was splattered - a lot.
I ran to see Lee tucked up in bed.
I also found that our mom was dead,
a bloodstained body with no head!
I begged my sister to awake, pulling her hair.
The teen girl moaned, but she saw who was there.
Lee noticed our mother's headless carcass and shrieked at the sight,
but when she saw the Tails Doll she filled up with twice the fright.
I saw the Tails Doll drop to his knees whilst we were in the fix.
It was my sissy's necklace - it was her crucifix!
The holy cross had weakened him, then the rising of the sun.
At that moment, the creature vanished, we both knew the beast was done.
"What the hell was that?" Lee sobbed and asked.
"The Tails Doll, Sis. We need to get out fast!"
I grabbed her hand and dragged her to the car.
Terrified, we have travelled long and far.
We'll be scared for all our days.
Tails Doll's watching us, always...
- Christine 'Scream Queen' Parker.

Sacorguy79 didn’t even play the game, but that doesn’t mean he can escape the
Doll's curse...
I, Sacorguy79, had had a close encounter with the Doll. It started out a while ago,
when I had seen too much to handle.
Me and my two friends were walking downtown when we noticed a new store, selling
videogames old and new. My first friend suggested "Maybe we should visit? Maybe
see if they have any games for my SEGA Saturn?" My second friend and I nodded
and we walked in.
It was very cool inside. Lots of videogame posters, games, consoles, you name it,
were there. My first friend asked one of the shopkeepers where the SEGA Saturn
games were. He directed us to the right shelves and we browsed. That's when we
noticed it. My second friend picked up a copy of Sonic R and stared at it. We all gave
each other uneasy looks and he asked about the game. The shopkeeper said that he
didn't know anything about the game and said that it should still work though.
"I have to use the bathroom," I said as a rushed to the restrooms. As I walked in, I
used one, and I went to wash my hands. But as I turned on the tap, blood poured out
instead of water. I panicked, and ran out. As I got the shopkeeper and my friends to
come in, I showed them the blood. My first friend looked like he was going to faint, my
second friend plugged his nose from the stench, and the shopkeeper examined it. "I
have no idea how this happened, but someone must be pulling a prank," he said. I
told them I'd call the police to investigate, and I hurried out. Outside, I noticed a large
board. Behind a bunch of other notices, there was one that read, "I'm coming for you.
T.D."
Later that night, I said goodbye to my friends and I ran back to my house. I took a
shortcut through an alley which I knew well, because it had loads of graffiti on it. But I
stopped for one second and looked at some of the tagging. I’d never see it before, but
it smelled like blood.
It read, "11:25."
It was blood!
I ran faster to my house, almost as if I was going faster than the speed of sound. "He's
coming for me... Got to make it back before he does..."
At my house, I was alone; watching TV like any normal idiot would do when he's
cursed. Then my friend called. I asked him about the game, and he said, "There's
something wrong with it." "What is it?" I asked. "The CD is missing, for one thing.
Stranger still, when I opened the case, I heard a voice saying, 'Your closest friend will
be my first victim.'" I panicked, and said, "But I’m your closest friend!!!" He then
replied, "Listen, I called you to warn you. Get out any possible weapons to protect
yourself! I'll come and help you!" I told him I would, and we hung up.
Suddenly, I heard a noise coming from the basement. I grabbed an airsoft gun and
slowly descended down the stairs. I looked into my father's workshop and saw a red
glowing light.
*SCHLUMPY*
I fired many airsoft pellets, but the doll wasn't affected. I dropped the gun and ran
upstairs like mad, but the Tails Doll was following me.
I opened a closet, and found my father’s MP5 pistol. "Perfect." I said to myself, taking
aim. The Doll charged at me, but was shot from behind. He growled, and turned
around. My two friends were there, one holding a smoking gun. I fired my pistol at the
doll, and they did the same. Cotton flew everywhere. We were screaming like mad.
Soon enough, the Doll was down and out.
The next day, I sent the doll in a package to Germany, with instructions for whoever
opened it to burn the remains. My friends and I were partying, and I went to the
basement to grab some Coke. As I was getting some, I saw a little post-it note that
read, "I will come back for you. T.D." I rolled my eyes, saying to myself, "Nah, he's
probably in Germany by now."

The Tails Doll strikes again, in Connor S.’s tale...
I was playing Sonic R. At the time, I thought it was a sweet and innocent game. I had
finally unlocked all the racers, maps, and all chaos emeralds, and won the race on
Radiant Emerald. After the credits, I decided to play time attack, where I saw the "Tag
4 characters" option. I thought it was pretty cool. Boy, was I wrong.
I selected the Tails Doll. I decided to tag them one by one, from bottom to top. Stupid
idea! After I tagged Super Sonic, The lights went out! The game immediately went
back to the character select screen. The odd thing was, over part of the screen
where the the Tails Doll was located, was a dark red blood stain. I rubbed it out, and
to my horror, the doll was GONE.
I felt something tap my shoulder. I slowly turned around. To my terror, the Doll was
hovering there behind me, singing "Can you Feel the Sunshine" over and over.

Nick C. sends us this warning...
I am writing this story to warn you all about something urgent! Allow me to explain.
I was at my local pawn shop looking at the voodoo dolls, when suddenly I came upon
something a bit out of place -- The Tails Doll. I was a Sonic fan, so needless to say a
purchased the item, mildly amused by the toy.
I put it in my closet when I got home. I then left the room for an hour or so. When I
came back, I discovered a message on the wall, written in blood. It read "you have
purchased your own doom." I immediately blamed my older brother. I called for him,
but to no effect. I went in to his room, only to find him twisted and burnt to death.
Mentally, I was completely broken. I looked for my legal guardians, only to find them
posed in lifelike poses but dead nevertheless.
My sanity was running through ash-soaked, bloody fingers, but I pressed on. I was
running out of ideas, so I went to my room, where I found the Tails Doll standing
upright, holding three objects -- a knife, an axe bottle, and a lighter. I was complete
terrified, so I tossed the closed thing I could reach, which happened to be a Tails
figure I had on my dresser. After it struck the Tails Doll, he began letting out a
disturbing, ear-shattering screech. It melted to a puddle of yellow liquid. The only
thing left was his red orb. Later, I burned the orb in my fireplace. A few seconds later,
I saw my brother come in to the room and say "hey Bro." I was baffled - my whole
family was back!
I tried to tell them, but no one believed me.
____________________________________________________________________
Our good friend, Sal T. Dillo, returns. Will he escape the doll in this new tale?
My plan seems to have worked.
Don’t get excited, its not good news. It probably means the Doll knows my plan and is
simply humoring me for his sick entertainment. However, I have to hold on to the hope
that this isn’t the case, however pathetic that may sound. Here’s how it happened: I
gathered a group of slaves who seemed to harbor the most intense detestation
toward the Tails Doll and ordered that they attacked him. Foolishly, they considered
this a good idea and immediately sauntered off to just that. Naturally, to say they
ended up steaming piles of ash on the floor would be an understatement.
I made it fairly obvious that I was the mastermind behind the whole scheme by
adopting a pretense anxiety the next day, though I’m sure I didn’t need to. It wasn’t
long before he called me out, though not for the reason I had anticipated. He actually
applauded me on my attempt at deposing him but said that my strategy needed work,
after which he immediately dismembered me.
Since I was still a moderately useful pawn in his little game, he allowed me to survive
despite my injuries with little more than scars to mark which of my limbs he severed
from my body. He then demoted my back to my former position, for which I was
thankful. In any case, that was yesterday.
Today is was my first day out of the lair since becoming a taskmaster. Either this world
had become more appealing since my last surfacing or I’d actually come to miss this
wretched place. Both possibilities were equally revolting. Regardless, I didn’t stay to
admire the scenery for too long as the Tails Doll would send trackers after me if I
wasn’t back before sunset. I’ve received from an anonymous source (by which I mean
a random passerby) the name of the one pure of heart. Though it took multiple tries, I
eventually found someone who knew of whom I was speaking. He happened to be a
regular on this site. He told me the person I was looking for went by the name of
Ethan, and that he was last spotted early winter at an old diner on Route 99. I was
thankful for the advice, so I killed him swiftly and was on my way. Route 99 is a long
road to travel, and its beginning is already far enough from where I am. I know it’s a
shaky lead, especially considering he was supposedly there months ago, but it’s all I
have to go on. I’ll report again later.
It’s been five days since I began my excursion to California. I’ve finally reached the
southernmost point of the United States, and from here I will follow route 99 North and
see if I can find anything. Until then, allow me to tell you about my journey so far. I
began my trip on the east coast, heading southwest toward the lower west corner of
the US. After only one day, I could tell that the trackers were on my tail. I may not have
told you about the trackers before. It may sound like some occupation, just like
soulsearchers and taskmasters. Let me tell you right now that this is not the case. ”
Tracker” is a rank reserved for only the most unruly of servants. They are reduced to
little more -- nay, no more than slobbering savages bent on carnage. The Tails Doll
loathes having to turn to them because not only are they the lowest form of life on the
planet, but they also create quite a ruckus on the surface world. However, they are
absolutely indispensable when it comes to finding wayward slaves. This is because
the process used to create these atrocities makes them more responsive to their
senses of smell and hearing, making them the ultimate tracking machines. I apologize
to all machines for making that analogy.
Sorry, I’ve kind of gotten off track. Sometimes I go to extreme measures to be sure I’m
not getting ahead of myself. In any case, I had at least five of these things on my tail
by dawn of the second day. I was making good time, but the trackers were no doubt
making better. Desperately, I tried to find the nearest road and hitchhike. A gruff
looking old man was the first person to stop. Quickly, I ripped the driver’s door open,
most likely breaking the lock mechanism, and threw the man out before hopping in the
driver’s seat and gunning it. In retrospect, I don’t know why I didn’t brutally slaughter
the man. I’m probably going soft as the Tails Doll’s influence fades. After two days of
driving, and multiple refills, my lead foot had a negative toll on the truck. I didn’t think
about it too much since the thing was probably already about twice as old as me
anyhow. Once I was convinced the truck didn’t have a mile left in it, I ran it off the road
and into a brook running alongside it. From that point, I walked in the stream for as far
as I could in an attempt to throw the trackers off my scent. It worked to an extent, but
they eventually began to catch up to me again. At this point, I was just a day away
from my destination, so I tried to steal another car, but to no avail, though I was sure
there would be plenty in California. About noon of the fifth day is when the trackers
finally found me.
The head of the pack was probably about a mile ahead of the others, and I was able
to take it down with ease. However, more trouble would probably arise once the others
arrived. In a ditch effort to survive, I took the clothes from the maimed body of the
tracker I had just killed and threw my own as far away as I could. Then I rubbed up
against the trackers body to get as much of its scent as I could before dumping the
cadaver in a nearby pond. When the other trackers arrived, I had no trouble
whatsoever. They headed off toward the smell of my clothes, giving me time to
escape. Not much later, I arrived at an interstate and was effortlessly able to hijack a
vehicle. So that basically explains everything that’s happened since my last message.
I’ll be sure to let you know when I find something.

Young Yoshi sends us this tale…
I decided to post some of my encounters with the Tails Doll.
First of all, I've been having dreams about "HIM.” It is daytime, right, and my parents
are home so this should be safe to send. In my first dream, I had a Tails Doll. His gem
blinked, and then I woke up. After that, I had a second dream. I dreamt that Club
Penguin came out with a new game. So, I checked it out, but when I was facing sensei,
he turned into the Tails Doll -- then I woke up.
Before I talk about my third, you might want to Google play “Tails Nightmare,” because
that’s where this dream takes place. I was controlling Tails, and he went into a red
portal. Then I accidently ran him in a lake of tar. In the fourth dream, the same thing
happened.
Outside of dreams, I have had no encounters yet.
So first I started out like most people, finding out about "him" reading about "him"
studying "him," then I made a journal so if he attacked me than someone would know
about it. Unlike most, I actually believed it. Then I did the curse. No character popping
out the screen. "I knew it was fake,” I told myself. I knew I was lying to myself. Then, I
started seeing signs. No, I wasn’t being paranoid. I keep seeing a red dot outside my
window. If I have a sleepover with one of my friends, I might do the curse again tonight.
____________________________________________________________________
Adam Duffield returns, with the stunning finale to his tale...
It is winter again and I am cold.
I walk down the frozen streets under the cover of midnight, even my long coat doesn’t
protect me from the chill that passes through my skin and reaches deep into my
bones. I watch the bright lights speed down the black road, temporarily blinding me,
but I don’t mind; it almost feels good. The street lamps lonely glow allows me to step
out of the shadows, if only for a second.
Yeah, I’m defiantly a night person.
I tilt my head upwards to gaze at the billions of stars that look down upon me. A small
smile spreads across my face as I recite the list to myself “Volume 9, Volume 11 and
Volume 16” I mutter to myself “If I make it through this, I’ve got to go read them again”
I need proof, that this is actually happening to me…"
It’s been roughly two years since this began, sometimes my mind wanders back to the
day my seemingly perfect life got drenched with blood. Why’d he buy that game? I
think to myself it’s not even that good. He was a fool to the day he died.
I buy a hot chocolate and sit on a wall; these might be my last moments – I’m not quite
ready to go just yet.
I sigh, and think back to all that has happened in the past two years; the murders, the
prison and he horror. Between now and the day I escaped from his wretched prison I
have witnessed 14 separate corpses, victims to the curse. The tails doll curse. They
say if you play Sonic R with the Tails Doll, he’ll come find you.
I stare deep into the empty cup, peering into the darkness. My stare holds for
seconds, I feel as if I’m about to fall into the large gaping hole.
“Alright!” I shout in what I tried be an upbeat tone “It’s now or never, let’s go! Yeah!...”
I do a small hop off the wall and make my way slowly towards my old house. I open the
door for the first time in two years, and step into the darkness. I dare not to turn on
the lights; something inside of me prevents my hand from reaching the light switch.
On my way to my old bedroom, I take a stop at my parents’ bedroom. I feel my
stomach clench. Oh yes, I saw the news story. The fist tightens its grip. Of how two
adults were found in their house. Dead: beads for eyes… and an antenna sticking out
of their foreheads. I sigh, and move on forwards.
As I reach into my coat pocket, and pull out a small disc, I feel a strange sensation
building up inside of me. Fear? Anticipation? I’m not quite sure.
As casually as I can; I switch my gamecube on, choose my character, and choose my
course.
“Well, what IS this?”
I swallow hard and stand up. The screen picks up static and starts to lose focus. The
room becomes darker, not just dark; completely black. The windows fade and are
replaced with a hellish red glow.
I stand up and take a step back, the controller still in my left hand.
“I guess I should’ve thought twice when I thought you were dead.”
“Yeah” I say, my voice shaking a little “I guess you should have!” I fling the controller
as hard as my arm would allow me, into the screen of the television. To my surprise
the screen shatters, the glass pieces falling down onto the hard surface. I stare into
the empty hole of the screen, the anticipation is murder. Long limbs reach slowly out
of the screen; two horrible red eyes stare at me from within.
”Ohhh, nice comeback! You just don’t get it do you?” The voice isn’t just coming from
the broken television; it is emitting from the entire room “I can decide who lives and
who dies. You have the curse now, which means you won’t be breathing for much
longer, human”
Faster than I could blink, that thing throws itself forward, hitting me hard in the chest. I
fell my breath escape me, as the doll starts clawing and scratching. I fall to my knees
in agony I can’t move my arms. How the hell am I going to…?
I hit the floor on my back with a dull thud. Clambering for breath, I try to get up, but am
pushed back down. The doll’s face hangs in front of me. I see the horror in my face
reflected in his beady eyes.
“You pathetic worm. You think you’re special? All you’ve done is cheat death. Well...
now you time is up.”
The seams around his mouth start to rip. A set of sickeningly stained metallic teeth
are now visible. Panic spreads across every inch of my body; in a frantic bid to
escape I kick him off me and run as hard as I can. He doesn’t chase me. He just lies
upon the floor, laughing at me. He finds all this hilarious
I stop in my tracks. Dammit he’s right! I can’t get away.
“Just give up; I don’t want to have to chase you. I want to save my energy… I want to
enjoy carving you into little pieces….” He continues to laugh an awful laugh.
Ugh…
He keeps laughing, starting to float towards me slowly. I put my hands to my ears; the
laughter is cutting me like a knife. A quick glance to the left and my fear is replaced
with a kind of smugness I haven’t felt in years. I quickly turn back to the Tails Doll.
“Looks like you won’t be hurting anyone again!”
I leap sideways through the dark red windows, falling for an eternity until I finally land,
hard on the black floor. Picking myself up, I look upwards at the silhouette of the doll. I
slowly pick up a jagged shard of glass form the window, and ready myself. The doll fell
down towards me, limbs flying frantically, a ghastly look upon its face. His piercing
laugh echoes around me as the shard of glass enters his body.
“Laugh it up. But I’ve figured you out,” I shout, gasping for air. With my free hand I
grabbed the diamond at the end of his antenna.
“This looks important,” I yell, crushing it in the palm of my hand. The crystalline
splinters brake through my skin, and it hurts, but it is worth it. His laughter turns into a
maniac scream. I try to stop myself but I looked down at him.
He releases his grip upon me and crumples to the floor. His eyes are different now,
the horrifying anger I had once seen is replaced with a strange emptiness. His limp
body starts to shake, and deep red blood seeps through the seams, pouring upon the
black floor. I find myself wondering about the doll, what exactly was it? How did it do
the things it did, and why did it do it?
Screw it. I don’t want to know.
I watch the blood run dry, leaving behind nothing but the fragmented remains of its
diamond.
I fall backwards, exhausted. My wounds hurt, and looking down I see that he got me
one last time with fresh claw marks in my stomach. It must have got me at the time I
stabbed him I thought as I picked myself up. Looking around I see that the moon has
returned, helping me see my whereabouts. I am outside my house, sitting on the
garden. Looking up, I can see the broken window.
As of now, I’m sitting on a park bench, in enormous amounts of pain. Ugh, what do I do
now? Probably go to hospital. I’ve always hated hospitals, but they might be able to
stop this bleeding. Of course, if there’s nothing they can do it won’t be the worst
thing. I don’t care anymore. At least it’s all over now.
Please God, let all this be over.
____________________________________________________________________
We’ve warned you not to try the bathroom curse, but Donna Thompson had to learn
that lesson the hard way...
I tried to resist but HE got the best of me.
It happened last week. I thought the Tails Doll looked kinda cute, y’know? So I
bought some fabrics and stuff to make one for me. I waited until Monday, so I could
work on him.
On Monday, I sewed and sewed until he was perfect - except he had no gem. I took a
fake diamond I had, and painted it red I then glued it to the doll. I waited for it to dry,
and then I claimed my prize. I had finished a Tails Doll of my own.
Later that night, I read about the bathroom curse, so I tried it in my hallway bathroom
(which by the way has a lock that sticks when it’s being used). I turned off the lights
and listened to “Can You Feel the Sunshine” backwards. When the song finished, I
looked at both of the mirrors in the bathroom and I saw a red light. The light grew
stronger and stronger, until I could make out a familiar shape. It was the Doll. I wasn’t
worried, until I saw he held something in his hand. It was a small nub of something that
glistened wetly in the dim light. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was a severed
human finger!
With the gory end, he wrote “Can you feel the sunshine, my child?” on my mirror. I
ran to the door, but forgot I locked it. I tried to undo the lock but it was stuck. I
panicked and tried the light but it was out. I waited, but then I heard a knocking on the
door. It was my mom. She wanted to use the bathroom.
Suddenly, the doll vanished and the light came back on. I looked at myself in the
mirror but I saw no reflection, only the doll staring back at me with a twisted smile on
his face.

Redfoxgurl89 is back, with an update on her situation...
Hey. It's redfoxgurl89 again and I have good news and bad news. The good news is
that I'm still alive. The bad news is that the Tails Doll paid me another visit recently
and I think that I am marked for death.
I'm sure you all remember my last story about my encounter. Well, after that, I decided
not to play the game ever again. In fact, I had even forgotten (God forbid, how could I
ever forget that horror?) about the Tails Doll's visit during the summer.
It still comes in my dreams. Just a few nights ago and gave me a little offer, one that I
gladly refused. It was one of those stereotypical "give me your soul and I'll give you
power" deals. I plainly told him no. I expected him to kill me after that, but instead he
spared my life, which is strange. I still don't think I'm off the hook, though. As I said
earlier, I think I may be marked as one of his enemies. I can feel him watching me
sometimes as I sleep...but for some reason he won't touch me. I don't think I'm a pure
soul or anything special, but if he tries to come again, I'll let you know.

Bob Rob and his friend O Dog used to post on this site three years ago. Here’s an
update...
I have not posted in a while – say, 3 years. I’m not sure if this website is still going.
You might remember me and my friend O Dog.
Why, why has it not come yet? My life sucks. I’m a nice guy! I am a good person, yet
he never comes or shows any signs. Is he torturing me from afar, by leaving me
alive? I almost broke my knee two weeks ago over nothing. I was walking and I just
randomly fell, almost falling right on a slab of cement sticking out of the ground. I was
able to just barely get out of the way. I also keep cutting myself on objects you
wouldn't even think of getting cuts from.
What’s happening to me?! Why does my life suck? Please help me!

Allen T. writes us with an account of his life since playing the cursed game...
I'm a normal kid, I guess, and have recently stumbled upon this website. The following
is what you would call it an experiment, when I tried to prove it was all a hoax.
Six days ago, I bought the Sonic R game. I ran through instruction manual (because it
was an old game) and everything seemed to be alright so far. I started playing it for a
while, and soon after unlocked the Tails Doll. At first, I was like "Hey, maybe I could
get 100% by tomorrow."
I got so into it, it was getting addicting. And very soon I reached my goal. I took a
break after that and watched Adult Swim. I had fallen asleep, and awoke to the sound
of fabric rubbing against the floor. I thought it was my imagination and went back to
sleep.
The eerie things occurred in this order:
Day 1: Strange sounds of fabric.
Day 2: Sight of something red out of the corner of my eye.
Day 3: What seemed to me like computer generated voices breaking in
and out, chanting “'an-'u-'eel-'un-'ine.”
Day 4: Nothing significant.
Day 5: My TV turning on and off.
Day 6: Craving to play the game, while hearing harsh, scratching noises at night.
I'm on my seventh day so I wanted to post this beforehand. I don’t know what will
come next. I don’t want to know.

Tanner (from the last volume) returns, with an update on his reoccurring nightmare. It
seems the real nightmare is just beginning...
Date: July 23, 2010
Hey, it’s Tanner again, giving you an update on how I’m doing from a motel with free
Wi-Fi (ya, it’s kind of strange that this motel has wireless internet). Anyways, I have
some good news and maybe some bad news. The good news is, I am not part of the
doll’s army. The bad news is, I think that I’m being hunted down by the doll’s army.
Why am I being chased? I don’t know for sure, but it might have something to do with
my dream, or there might be something about me that the Tails Doll is hiding. Let me
explain.
It was the night before the Tails Doll from my dreams would take over my body, and I
promised myself that if I could not regain control of my dreams from him I would
commit suicide (I know that sounds harsh, but I told myself that I would rather die than
to join his army). That night I got into my bed and closed my eyes; it didn’t take long
for the dream to appear. I was at the beach-like place with Sonic and friends, but this
time I wasn’t in a trance; I could think clearly and knew what was coming, yet the doll
still had control of my body. Once he released his power over my body I would be
able to make my move. The sky turned its usual scarlet red and the others started to
get up and run away, but this time I understood what they were telling me to do.
“Run,” they said, “Run for your life! The doll is coming.” But I couldn’t, I wouldn’t; I
knew that if I ran it would be pointless. So I stood there like he intended me to do and
that’s when I heard it, “Can you feel the sunshine? Does it brighten up your day?
Don’t you feel that sometimes, you just need to run away?” the song sang almost
mockingly. It was in a different tone, almost creepier, than the one usually played.
Then the doll’s child-like voice came into my head saying his usual line, “Can you feel
the sunshine, Tanner?” He released his control on my body, big mistake, but I wouldn’
t reveal to him my true intensions, not yet; I would wait for the right time. I turned
around like usual, acting scared, and saw his slumped over body in doll form. I
approached him and picked him up. His gem started to glow and his red pupils
appeared. Dropping him on the ground and backing away, I knew that this was the
time to strike.
“Can you feel it, Tanner?” he now said in his mocking metallic voice while getting to his
feet.
I smiled, “No, I can’t feel the sunshine. Can you?” I asked sarcastically while putting
my hands in my pockets.
He looked at me - his smile no longer on his face, but confusion showed, then anger.
“Are you mocking me?” he asked.
Ignoring his question I asked him, “You remember what happens next, right?” While
asking him his own question, I took one of my hands out of my pockets and gestured
“come on” with it.
That pissed him off. “You will pay for your insolence,” he growled. Seeing him getting
ready to charge at me, I snapped my fingers. He started to run, but he wasn’t
lightening fast; instead, he ran so slow that a snail could do laps around him. He
looked down at himself, confused, then glared at me. “What have you done?” he
asked.
I walked up to him, laughing, enjoying my victory. “You really don’t know what’s going
on?” I asked him. “It’s called getting my mind back, fool!”
“You will pay for this, mortal,” he growled again. He slowly turned towards me and
started to swing his arm. I grabbed his arm and turned it towards him, snapped my
fingers to let time come back, and with the force from his fist he did a back flip.
“Oh, isn’t that sad. You punched yourself,” I said to him pretending to sound
sympathetic. He started to get to his feet, so I snapped my fingers again and he
slowed down. “Now,” I said, “It’s time to do to you what you have done to me for the
past four months.”
“Ha,” he said, thinking that I couldn’t hurt him. “And how do you plan on doing that?”
“Like this.” I snapped my fingers and instead of giving his speed back, he turned into
a human (but he still had the tails), and gave myself claws. “Are you ready?” I asked
him. He just stood there showing no emotion; not even his smile showed. I stabbed
him in the gut, like he has done to me, and pulled out my claw. Blood rushed out of
the wounds that I made and for some sick reason I enjoyed it. Getting the urge to
mock him by yet another quote of his, I asked, “How does it feel to have stomach acid
eating you from the inside?”
He grabbed his gut and went to his knees, but he was smiling as if he enjoyed the
pain. “Heh, heh. This feels funny in my tummy,” he told me sounding happy.
I looked at him with disgust. Getting close and looking him in the face, I asked, “Why
did your master send you to haunt me?” He didn’t respond so I asked again, “Why did
your master send you to haunt me?”
He looked at me. “I already told you, it’s a secret.” His smile started to come back as
he said this.
I punched him in the face to wipe his smile off. “I’m going to ask you again,” I told him
starting to get angry. “Why did he send you to me?” asking through my teeth.
“Hm, hm, hm. I’ll never tell you,” he said still with his smile.
I punched him in the face again. “You will tell me what I want to hear,” I said to him.
“You have heard the expression ‘curiosity killed the cat’, right?” he asked.
“Yes, but I don’t see how this relates to my question,” I told him both confused and
annoyed.
“Well, if you keep snooping, boy, death will be your answer,” he said.
He was about to laugh when I punched him in the stomach. “Tell me what you know!” I
said starting to loss my temper.
He lurched forward and spat up blood before straightening up. “No,” he told me.
POW! Another blow to the stomach. “TELL ME!” I yelled.
“No,” he said again.
That’s when I snapped and started punching him repeatedly. After a few minutes a
voice spoke to me in my head. “Tanner, you need to wake up,” is all it said. The
voice sounded urgent and familiar, but it wasn’t my parents’ voices. I stopped
punching the “human” Tails Doll for a few seconds and looked at him; he was all
bloody and weary.
He looked up at me, and breathing heavily he asked, “You… done so soon?”
Tired of his attitude I took one of my clawed hands and slashed his face. “Yes, I am
done with you,” I said. He fell face first into the ground, and his human form dissolved
away revealing his doll form. The gem on his head expanded around him and he
disappeared.
My hands turned back to normal. The dream started spin around me and I got dizzy
and blacked out. When I opened my eyes I was lying down in my bed. Jumping out of
bed, I looked around the house making sure nobody was home; thank god no one
was. I started getting dressed because I had to leave quickly. Knowing that if I stayed
home for too long the Tails Doll would be able to track me down and send one of his
minions after me, so I had to leave; I packed socks and underwear, a few shirts
(especially my Sonic the Hedgehog t-shirt) and all of my shorts. I threw them into a
duffle bag and looked around my room to make sure I wasn’t forgetting anything.
Then I remembered something: Sonic plushies could stop or weaken the Tails Doll, so
I opened my closet doors and grabbed my Sonic and Knuckles plushies. Grabbing a
backpack, I put the plushies in it, thinking that I would be safer with them closer to me.
Also I put two miniature baseball bats (about 1ft 6in or 46cm long) in the backpack.
They fit perfectly in the bag. Taking both bags I went outside of my room into the
hallway and laid them at the end of the stairs and went back to my room. Knowing
that the doll uses the TV or a computer screen to get into the room of his victim, I
destroyed both of mine. I smashed in the screens, and in order to make sure they
never turned on again, I unplugged them from the wall and cut the wires. Opened
them up, I started to break the components inside – just in case. And so that no one
could get into my room, I locked the door and put some crap into the lock. Grabbing
some paper and a pencil, I wrote, “Dear Mom and Dad. I left home for reasons you
wouldn’t understand. All I can say is that I am in danger, and if I stayed home I would
be putting you in danger, too. Do NOT open the door to my room, and if you see it
open one day, run! Don’t come looking for me and don’t call the police; I’ll come
home one day. Your son: Tanner.” I looked over the note making sure I wasn’t
forgetting anything. Then I put, “P.S. I’m also taking the laptop and wireless adapter
USB. You can kick my ass about it when I return, sorry.” I took some tape and stuck
the note on my bedroom door. I then took my bags and went downstairs. Grabbing
the laptop and charger off the kitchen counter, I saw that the USB adapter was
already in the laptop. I took the adapter out of the laptop, so that it wouldn’t get
broken inside of the duffle bag, and placed it in a separate pocket.
As I headed to the garage door, I was thinking to myself about where I could possibly
go. Knowing that I couldn’t stay in my town, I decided to head to the capital city of
Iowa: Des Moines (it was the first place that popped into my head). I got into my car
and backed out of the driveway. Plugging my iPod into the radio, I started to listen to
His World by Zebrahead – my favorite Sonic song. It took me a few minutes to get to
Des Moines, but once I did I found a motel conveniently to the right of me. Now, you
have to be eighteen or older to pay for a room in a motel or hotel, but I am only off by
one year; so I hoped they wouldn’t ask to see any I.D.
Walking into the check-in room, nervous as hell, I went up to the clerk. He looked at
me without lifting up his head, but saw me only with his eyes. He looked almost
bored. Turning around, he grabbed a key, and gave it to me. “Room 175,” is all he
said. I was so dumbfounded that all I could do was say thank you and run out of there.
I got into my car and drove it in front of my room. When I opened the door, what I saw
shocked me; the room was nice and clean. Going back to my car, I grabbed my bags,
threw them on the bed, and started searching for the laptop. While searching I was
thinking to myself about what I should do tomorrow. I knew that if I didn’t find a job I
wouldn’t be able to drive, feed myself, or buy any necessary items. After searching I
finally found the laptop under some shirts. Grabbing the Wi-Fi USB, and finding a
connection, I came to this website to tell you guys what happened. I’ll update in a
couple of months; talk to you then.

Shaman is back with an update to his tale...
I've got to make this quick -- I've only got 2 hours to live!
Hola!! It's me, Shaman!
I've had bad luck ever since I found some of my OLD glass gems: red, blue, and
green. WTF?! I got these BEFORE I discovered IT! So, back to the bad luck.
I found a red gem (read the paragraph above) and took it to school! I had a buddy
named Brad who wanted one, so I sold it and brought my green instead. I started
having my bad luck at that point.
First, I noticed my PE homework sheet was due, but I forgot it. I also tripped over
somebody's backpack, and he's been riding on me since. T_T*
The next day, I had no results finding it, so I told her I lost it and needed a
replacement. She gave me one, cuz she's one nice teach! Also I told that kid whose
backpack I tripped over to get bent, then he punched me, but I barely felt it!
WTFHAX?!! Also, I forgot that I had a spelling def. sheet! The teacher of that class is
a real WIATCH!
I think I'm also becoming HIS slave! Reasons??
A)I sucked as TD before but now I ROXORZ!!!
B)I fear him and am fascinated by him!
C)I am beginning to like "CYFTS"... Does it brighten up your day?
D)I feel like CRAP when I don't play Sonic R!!
PLEASE TELL ME: AM I TURNING INTO HIS F---ING SERVANT!?!?!

Maria not only believes there is more than one Tails Doll, but she also believes that
their intentions might not always be villainous...
You can call me Maria. I'm not quite sure if this counts as an actual haunting. It's quite
hard, but I will try my best to explain and not ramble much.
Basically, I've had the Tails Doll on the brain for roughly a week now. And in this week,
strange things have been happening. Things I can't really explain.
It all started when my friend's younger brother gave me his copy of Sonic Adventure 2
Battle. "I lost the games you lent me," he said, "So just as I promised you can have
this."
I was thrilled. Excited. I played it immediately. I mostly played with my chao, who I
hadn't realized I missed so much.
A week ago, I was thinking of how to create chao that look like the characters from
'Soul Eater' (my favorite anime) when I remembered a sinister character from a cursed
game. I don't know why, but I did.
I remembered the Tails Doll.
I had heard of this cursed plushie before, roughly a year ago in fact. I will say right
now I've never played Sonic R and never plan to. Anyway, as soon as I remembered
it, I decided to refresh my mind as to the horror it had caused helpless victims. So I
googled 'Tails Doll' and found my way to your site, where I read to my heart's content
and finished one of your Collection Volumes. I laughed in the face of danger, joked
among my friends it didn't exist.
That night though I was scared. I felt paranoid, like the Tails Doll was out to get me. I
couldn't sleep until I tucked my copy of 'Shadow the Hedgehog' under my pillow and
cuddled with my Shadow plushie.
The next day came. A friend asked me what the Tails Doll looked like. Not knowing
about people being curse from simply drawing the doll, I drew them a picture. Later I
read your next collection.
The next day I saw the Tails Doll in my TV.
I was doing laundry. I had run out of clean jeans and was washing more for the next
day. I brought Shadow with me because I felt edgy and jumpy, just looking into the
dark basement. As I passed by the TV downstairs, my Shadow plush nestled in the
basket of clothes to wash, I saw It.
It had its back to me and was floating far away in the upper left corner. I couldn't see
the gem, but there was no mistaking that limp, plush figure. As I looked at it though, I
wasn't really scared. This was because the doll didn't look scary or evil.
It looked sad, as if mourning the loss of something.
An hour later my sister ran into the bathroom as I was drying my hair, her eyes filled
with tears. She asked for a towel. I asked why. She said three words to me.
"Einstein is dead."
Her guinea pig had died in his sleep, a month after suffering from a serious seizer.
Mom said it was a miracle he survived for that long.
Now, I don't believe the Tails Doll did this. I know it didn't. Don't ask how I know this,
though. I just... Do.
A few days passed. I read more of your stories, never doubting their authenticity.
Since I saw it in my TV I've become a strong believer.
But I don't fear it as much anymore. I've even started a fic about it and drawn pictures
of it (I will not mention what the pictures are about, though I will say they involve the
Tails Doll paired with someone). Despite what people say however, it hasn't haunted
me much since that day, besides brushing against my leg or watching me (I never see
it, but I know it's doing these things). Maybe it's binding its time. Maybe it just doesn't
care about me.
This has got me wondering a few things though. Hypothetical things. Call me crazy if
you want. I just need to get this off my chest.
What if, and this is just hypothetical, there's more than one Tails Doll? What if there
are good Tails Dolls and bad Tails Dolls and Tails Dolls that just don't care if humans
believe in them or not?
I don't really know. If it is true, I believe the Tails Doll haunting me is a good one (and
female, due to something in my gut feeling so). Sadly, if this is true, I'm a lucky person.
For if this is true, the evil ones far outnumber the good.

This came from Caleb, two years ago. If only I could have gotten to it sooner...
It’s me, Caleb again. This time, I’ve been seeing him in dreams, and worse of all, in my
life.
Like everyday.
I look into my own eyes and I see him. He’s like me. The plush doll is a part of me, the
pain I have. In dreams, I kill my family. It just won’t stop.
That all for now.

This is Chatterbox’s first post. Let’s hope it’s not his last...
Hello there! This is my first post, so you can call me Chatterbox.
I am writing to this site because I want to spread the word, of my encounter.
Nobody ever believes me. They say I'm crazy! I actually want you (or somebody else)
to believe me -- for a change...
Now on with the tale.
It was a nice and peaceful night. I was asleep when a loud THUD woke me up.
I wasn't paying attention to it, so I looked at my clock. It said 6:00 AM, which is the
time I usually wake up. Yet, something was wrong. It was still VERY dark outside. It
didn't appear to be morning at all! That is when I heard another THUD! I had a
headache, but I usually get those. When I went to the spare room where the sound
was coming from, however, I saw a glowing red gem...
"Hello there, mortal."
"What do you want from me?" I said with confidence.
"Your SOUL!"
"I'll...NEVER give my soul to you!"
"Yes...Just resist. Soon, it will be amplified!"
"Wha...What are you talking about?" I asked, confused.
The doll then vanished. What does this mean? I will keep all of you in the know...
'Til next time,
Chatterbox

Fracobeatle is never alone at night, though I bet he wishes he were...
Hi, I am Francobeatle, and I have a story to tell.
I beat Sonic R, one time. I guess the “R” refers to its rating, because this game is
certainly not rated “G”. Anyway, I beat it, and I was happy, but I had no clue that the
Tails Doll was about it take me alive! Every night, it comes to my room. Not saying
anything, not doing anything, but just staring at me. It never even blinked. One night I
had enough, and I punched him.
He still did not move. I kicked him. He did not move an inch. I pushed it. Nope.
Burned it. The fire would not start. I poured WATER on it. It did not even get wet. It
still stares at me every night.
What is it trying to say?
____________________________________________________________________
Zandra doesn’t want school to start, because more than the summer will be coming to
an end...
Just call me Zandra.
It all started a month or so ago, I had beaten Sonic R for about the 3rd time. I went to
your website and read a few stories when I saw something in the black background of
the page -- it was the Tails Doll! I was a bit scared but I figured it was just some little
joke put on the site. Then I realized that the Tails Doll wasn't in the screen - he was
being reflected ON the screen.
I held back a scream of terror, as I noticed something --the Tails Doll was facing away
from me. He was completely still. I slowly turned my head around to look at him and he
turned his head too! I freaked out at this point and ran as fast as I could into the
hallway, slamming the door behind me. I stayed there for about 15 minutes, scared
out of my wits. I finally got up the courage to go back into my room where the
computer was, but there was nothing there.
Ever since then, I see faint and blurry glimpses of a red gem and orange figures.
Everything was normal for about 2 weeks, until I had a strange dream. I dreamt I was
at school, in Social Studies. I looked out the window and saw the Tails Doll! He
disappeared after only a moment. Suddenly he reappeared in front of me, smiling.
Everyone screamed and ran into the hallway, which was pitch black. I ran blindly in the
darken hallway, crashing into stuff every few seconds. A bit later I fell down and
couldn't get up. A ton of Tails Dolls surrounded me, laughing and laughing, smiling
and smiling. I cried out in horror as they all surrounded me, their laughing now at
earsplitting volume.
I finally woke up. It was all over. Just a nightmare, right? I’d agree, except, I was in a
classroom I had never seen before. I recently saw a picture of my future Social
Studies classroom for 7th grade, and it was the same classroom as the one in my
dream. It’s still summer, but I'm terrified of going to school next year. What if the dream
has some truth to it?

Becca tells us the tale of dark encounters...
Hello Quacker, I am Becca, here with my sister Star to tell you of the strange things
she experienced regarding the Doll. It seems to happen a lot for Star. Star has
strange dreams, as vivid as reality but only when the Doll is in it.
She was walking along a desolate path, but it was a nice day… or so it seemed. She
had never seen a sky so blue, but something forced her to turn towards a wooded
area. Her stupid self decided to go into the woods to investigate. Upon entry she
began to hear a faint tune of a song that she could not recognize. She followed the
sound and it began to get louder and stronger. She noticed a moment too late it was
the dreaded tune of Can You Feel the Sunshine?
The sunshine ceased and all fell quiet. She felt like a girl in an old horror movie being
chased by a zombie; she couldn’t get away no matter how slow it was. She tried to run
faster to escape the woods; she believed she saw the light beyond the trees.
But then, she slowed and thought, “Why would the light be red?”
Then the light drew near her. She fell to her knees and began to panic, trying to tell
herself it wasn’t real, it wasn’t happening. She felt a small paw on her shoulder and a
sarcastically kind voice whispered, “Yes, it is,” and then she awoke.
Poor Star actually encountered the Doll twice. She is grateful she was not harmed.
The first time, she was 12 years old and staying up late, finishing a picture of her
Sonic fan character. She heard a rustle from the kitchen and believed it to be one of
her two pet dogs getting into something. She ran in, ready to scold the pup when she
saw a bright red glow near the table. She was oblivious to the Doll at that time, (I
should have warned her of it when I learned of it). She was freaked out at the
mysterious light, then sprinted to her room and attempted sleep. The thought haunted
her for a couple of sleepless nights.
At her second encounter, she was aware and fully informed of the Doll (thanks to ME!)
and it happened at a slumber party at a friend’s house. It was late and all the girls
where merrily jumping on the trampoline in the back yard, having a good time when
one of the girls noticed a red glow in the sky above the trees. Immediately they
assumed it was simply a cell phone tower, but the glow began to move about. Another
one of the girls proclaimed it was merely an air plane. But to their surprise it began to
jerk about in an odd manor and her best friend jokingly implied it was an alien space
craft. But in the deepest pits of her mind, Star began to wonder, “Is it the same red
glow from the kitchen two years ago?”
Afraid for their safety, she convinced them to go indoors for the rest of the night. She
never told her friends the truth of what she believed it to be.
Luckily, Star is sitting beside me now and she will not let me finish the game of Sonic R
I purchased for the PC. I will tell you about my encounters in another e-mail.
Becca and Star out-
P.S. Does the Tails Doll like cinnamon crumb cake?

Remodious, from a couple of weeks ago, is back with a new tale...
Jake and Tommy were best friends, and of course they loved Sonic. I mean, who
wouldn't? A blue furry hedgehog that saves the world is as good as it gets! They were
both on the computer one day at Jake's house and they were looking at the game
"Sonic R" that came out months ago. They were surprised that they didn't even play it
yet! So, they looked on Blockbuster.com and saw that ONE Sonic R game was in
stock! They had to go get it!
