The doll sold for $11,100. |
Questions from other buyers for this listingQ: is your house new, or has it had previously owned? if it was previoulsy owned, check it out if anyone paced peacefully in the gest bedroom, which would explain why the deamon will not enter that room because there is a good sprirt looking over it. as suggested before, try teh banishment spell ( sea salt pentogram black candles). You could try submerging it in holy water but the doll may only be a vessle for the spirit. and if burning it didnt work, try acid Answered on Mar-25-05 A: The house was previously owned, but I do not know anything about any of the previous owners. If things do not clear up after getting rid of the toy, I will look into the house's past. Thanks for the suggestions. Q: Just wanted to let you know that the highest bidder looks kind of fishy. 0 Feedback and hes new. I'd look into this if I were you so you can get this damned item off your hands! Answered on Mar-25-05 A: He has sent me a question, stating that he is a professor at a university, and he would like to study this toy, to view the energy contained within with his students. At first I thought it fishy as well, but he has assured me that he is serious, and at this point that is all I can ask for. Thanks for concern, and if this is a hoax, only time will tell. Q: Is the safe made of iron? If not, then surrounding the Stitch with iron may help for the time being. You might also consider sleeping in the guest room (since it appears vaguely safe at the moment), and burning candles in rooms you're in. If the flame goes low and blue, and the Stitch is _not_ currently in the room, it may let you know if you're dealing with something that is _using_ the Stitch, as opposed to the Stitch itself being troublesome. You (and your fiancee) might also want to keep a small diary of both your experiences so far, along with any related dreams you might be having, in case you have to bring in professionals -- extra data can't hurt. Good luck. Answered on Mar-25-05 A: I actually forgot to mention that my fiancee & I tried sleeping in the guest room last night, and experienced nothing in the room - just the TV incident. Thanks for the candle suggestion, too. Q: I quite enjoy the thought this item provoked, though I'm very sorry for what's been happening. I was wondering, did you try getting someone skilled in wicca to do anything? I myself trapped a spirit in a mirror with raw energy for a long time (it finally got free and ran), so perhaps someone who actually uses spells and such to get the job done, rather than my meathod, could do something. If selling Stitch doesn't work (IE, the ghost just uses Stitch as a decoy, but stays in the home), then find your nearest coven, and ask them what to do. :3 Answered on Mar-24-05 A: Thank you very much for the advice - many people with many different beliefs & ideas have come forward, and I welcome any suggestions. Thank you again for the comments & support. Q: Sylvia Brown is a world known psychic with many best selling books & is a regular guest on the Montel Williams Show & Larry King Live. She has just started a brand new radio talk show that is only heard over the internet where people can listen live & ask her brief questions during the show. The website is www.HayHouseRadio?.com & is every Thursday from 3:00pm to 4:00pm Pacific Standard Time (6p-7p EST) Click the link "Listen Live" for more info on how to get this show to play on your computer & the "Now Playing" window during the show to ask her a live question. Also, you must call from a corded phone, no cordless or cell phones to make this call. I'm sure that you can find all other needed info on the website. This is a new message I got just yesterday & maybe just in time for you to get some very much needed advice. Sylvia Brown is amazing & I'm sure that there are many other people who are familiar with her that would agree! I think it is definately worth a try to get her advice!! Answered on Mar-24-05 A: I would love to ask her advice tonight, but I unfortunately will be working when the show is on. I will actually be away from my house for most of the day & evening, so I hope that everything will be fine when I get home. If things do not change after the auction is over, I will definitely look into asking her advice if need be. Thank you very much for the information! Q: Hey there.I am just mortified at this horrific experience you and your fiancee are going through.I am deeply sympathetic and I hope that you will be able to rest soon.I am shocked, but a believer in the paranormal so am totally understanding of what you are going through.I don't have a lot of suggestions for you that you perhaps haven't heard already.The only thing I could suggest is that you move away from the toy, rather than getting it to move away from you.It does sound probable that the toy may like your house,not you.It could be trying to get you out of the house.And the only thing that you could do,if selling it fails is leaving your house.It is dramatic I know, but it may just work.You could perhaps test the theory by moving somwhere temporarily and seeing if it turns up there.That way you will know if it likes you or the house.I totally agree with the ignoring bit too.I was told once these things will only appear if you let them.Bless you-I hope you find peace. Answered on Mar-24-05 A: Thank you for the suggestions. Moving has already become a distinct possibility - not something we would like to do, but we will if we have to. Thanks again for your support. Q: I know this may sound silly, especally to those who have already sent questions that I am kinda contridicting, but perhaps maybe you're looking at this situation the wrong way? Perhaps it is actually trying to help you with something instead of you help it and it is using all of these incidents as ways to get your attention but you have perhaps been too scared to face it. I have seen the skull (teeth and all) in the TV reflection as well, but really, the phrase comes to mind "don't judge a book by it's cover". Perhaps maybe the spirit it just trying to get you to overcome your fear of these kind of things for future incidents.. Just some thoughts that I don't think anyone has brought up. I still advise that you take care. One more thing I would like to comment on but mean no offense by is that I do not know if placing a symbol that represents the tool that was used to kill our savior is the best way to ward off spirits, but everybody has their own beliefs. You have my prayers as well. Answered on Mar-24-05 A: Now that you mention it, I don't know why crusifixes are always suggested as a ward against evil, but for some reason they are always recommended. I think mainly they just emphasize your faith? Anyway, good theory about how it may not actually be trying to harm me or anything, but I will still continue to be very cautious! Thanks for the comments! Q: I was just wondering, if maybe someone is purposely manipulating Stitch to drive you nuts? Answered on Mar-23-05 A: There is definitely that possibility, and I have not entirely ruled that thought out, but the only person who would really have access to the Stitch enough to do this much would be my fiancee, and I really don't think she would do this. Q: Hello! I have been watching this very unique item since day one, and I must say, your updates make this look VERY real, and scary as well, I would sooo bid, but I wouldnt want to take the risk! I have some items in my house I would prefer NOT to get knocked down! Anyways, I was wondering if you can like post up a website or something about this item, because I am very curious to know if the paranormal happenings cease when the item leaves your house. Maybe a mailing list to all who would want to know how this story plays out? I am sure a lot of other people are dying to know what happens when evil stitch leaves your house! Thanks! P.S. Stay Safe and God Bless! Answered on Mar-23-05 A: I am planning on putting up an "update auction" in 2-4 weeks, depending on if things stop, and if I get any more information. Add me to your favorite sellers list, and check for additional information. I will also re-state this in a later update, for all who are interested. Thanks for the comments! Q: Please provide additional information on your guest room, namely furnishings, religious symbols within, anything that may not seem seem significant at first. Feel free to contact me via my eBay e-mail address. Thanks! Answered on Mar-23-05 A: Nothing really out of the ordinary - we have a regular queen size bed, that was my fiancees before we moved in together, a wardrobe/cabinet-type piece of furniture, and a couple of bookshelves, filled with old & newer books. Nothing really seems out of the ordinary at all. Any ideas? Q: hi, ive already asked 2 questions about the item, but im just curious, why don't you leave cameras recording on several places around the house overnight. (borrow some from friends, so you have multiple). just dont leave any actually recording the stitch or safe its in directly, and see if you can detect any movement in the tapes when you run them back. also, have you actually tried many of the given suggestions sent in by people? last, could you post a few more current pictures of the doll? Answered on Mar-23-05 A: I have decided to leave the camera on it for a while - it has been going for about 30 minutes now, and I will leave it for probably another 2 hours or so, then will review the data, and see if I can upload an image or two (stillframes) where you can see a change of position. Thanks! Q: I do not believe this is an average ghost, and this very well could be a deamon. I don't think that he is infesting the plush, but he, like someone else has said, is choosing the plush toy because who knows, maybe it resembles himself. I suggest you be very cautiouse, because simple things like this may lead to possession. I've read many stories on the real posession of a young boy in the 1940s, and many symptoms he experienced before he was posessed were: Temper Tantrums, house hold objects falling without reason, scratching sounds on the walls and floors, shaking bed, horrible odors, strange and frightening sounds echoing through the halls. Be sure to take all the actions nessessary including holy water, good luck charms, crusifixes, and reading holy bible phrases. Do these things before it could be too late! Answered on Mar-23-05 A: As you have suggested, I am trying to be very cautious, especialy when encountering any signs of paranormal activity. Thank you for the information. Q: I noticed you canceled my bids because you couldn't contact me. I was away for a few days and was not receiving your emails, but I have responded to them now. I know I have zero feedback, but that is only because I have never won an auction, and I am not a seller. I am very interested in this item and was wondering if I could bid again now that I have contacted you? Answered on Mar-23-05 A: Yes, and thank you for contacting me - I just wanted to make sure you were serious about your bid. Thanks again for the message, and you can go ahead & bid. (Please remember your bid is a contract!) Q: I'm just curious if you or anyone else who is keeping an eye on your auction knows anything about Demonology or mythological & ancient creatures....even though I believe that this entity is NOT actually the doll itself, maybe it is choosing the Stitch doll as a vessel, because it symbolizes a familiar creature??? (sorry Disney!) Maybe somebody knows something & can add additional clues to help you..... Answered on Mar-23-05 A: That is a very distinct possibility - I myself do not know much about mythological creatures, but hopefully someone does, and will contact me with any information. Thanks for the idea! Q: You do realize that even if you do rid your delf of the toy, Most likely the spirit will stay and inhabit another item. Spirits "shoose" whom they haunt. Maybe thats why you were drawn to buy this doll in the first place. This spirit has something to do with you. I'd check into finding out what the spirit is and seeing about letting it cross over. A good way to rid spirits is to take a white candle and write the spirits name (name him if you have too) on a blue piece of paper and then burn it in the candle when trying to imangine the spirit crossing over to the next world. Its an old wisetale from the south but trust me it works! Also put pure cinnamon sticks in every entrance of your home (windows too) cinnamon is a wiccan protective charm. Once you get rid of the spirit use a salt circle around your home to keep out future spirits. Best of luck. But don't make the mistake to think that the spirit will leave if you get rid of the toy. Answered on Mar-23-05 A: If the spirit ends up staying, I will definitely look into researching who or what it could be. I'm not sure how I would be able to update everyone that is following this, but I'm sure I could find a way. Thanks for the ideas. Q: Have you tried pouring holy water on the doll? What you should do is go to church, and collect some water from the babtismal fountain. Sprinkle it in the shape of a cross over the doll, and see what happens. And scratching sounds? Thats NOT good. Those are the same symptoms a boy experienced before he was posessed by the devil in the 1940s which inspired the movie "The Exorcist." Please, take this advise and pour holy water on it as soon as possible Answered on Mar-23-05 A: I plan on getting some holy water as soon as possible. Thank you for the suggestion. Q: RE: The last question about the clear reflection of the face in the tv. I thought that was the face everyone was looking at all along. You can see eyes, ears, nose, mouth. At one point I even thought that it was wearing a clown nose. I noticed something else when I tried to show your pictures to my sister on her computer, a desktop with an older monitor. On an older desktop computer monitor, the faces seem barely visible. Here on my laptop and on my brother in law's laptop as well, the faces in both pictures seem very very clear. I'm just suggesting to anyone who wants to get a better look, have a look on a laptop or computer with an LCD screen. Big difference, at least on a Toshiba anyway. Answered on Mar-23-05 A: Good advice - I will post it so everyone can get your tip. Thanks! Q: OK! Now I'm a little bit more "freaked-out" & thought I should share what I just noticed incase you haven't seen this yet! Please take a look at your photo of the stitch doll pinned under your t.v....there have been a couple of people that mentioned seeing a reflection or a skeleton-type face in the t.v. screen, including you...but look to the bottom left of the picture, away from the television & directly next to the tv, on the wall between the bottom corner of t.v. & the wall, right above the doll's left foot! There is a very clear face of a demon or??!!...I don't know, so I enlarged this photo on my computer to get a clearer picture of it to possibly check if you had something else sitting there, but I can't see that you do. This face is as clear as day! Let me know if you can see what I am talking about as it has been there all of this time & it is clearly visible without even trying! Thanks! Answered on Mar-23-05 A: Wow - I hadn't seen that one either, but now that you mention it, it does appear that something could be there, although it may just be a shadow. Good eye, though! Q: i'd have to agree with the various posts out there about asking it what it wants. Put a bit of paper and a pen/pencil out in front of the toy before you go to bed at night. explain what the objects are and then ask it clearly that you would like to know what it wants by having it write it down. then see whats there in the morning. can't hurt to try after all. it may also not be swayed by any particular religeous faith (hence the scratching persists at your door) and so crosses may only confuse it and not do much. Another thought that occured to me is that it is nothing to do with the toy at all but a far more powerful force that has been set off by something and has created an association with the toy and everything the toy does. i don't wat to freak you out but it could be something else IN the house that uses the toy...drag a priest round to have a check if that helps settle your mind. has the toy ever followed you out of the house? no? could be the house either away; good luck! Answered on Mar-23-05 A: I suppose it could be the house, but I think the only way to figure that out would be when we actually get rid of the toy. I don't know how it would have shown back up at our house, though, if it wasn't the toy. The paper & pen idea is a good one though - thanks! Q: Have you tried to reunite this dark being with his stuffed sidekick Lilo to see if this has an affect on his behaviour, it is possible that the good karma from Lilo will stabalise the situation? Answered on Mar-23-05 A: I don't have a Lilo toy, but it may be something to look into getting, if nothing else works. Q: You realise the James Randi foundation offers a one million dollar reward for anyone that can prove the existence of paranormal activity? www.randi.org If this thing is really as you say, then at the very least why haven't you videotaped what's been happening? (left camera running overnight etc.) You would have an incredible set of videos that TV would pay megabucks for, and if you could prove to james randi that supernatural events are occuring, then you could pocket $1 million. Perhaps your bidders intend to do this? Answered on Mar-23-05 A: Well, like stated before, I have tried to videotape it before, and the only person who noticed any kind of movement was me, and it was extremely slight. It's almost as though it knows when it is being watched, as nothing seems to happen in front of our eyes. Q: Okay. Here's what I know. From what I've put together, you have a projection/element spirit. It isn't quite a Poltergeist so to speak. Poltergeists only make noises and move things around, rarely to they cause any harm upon a living being, AKA: Your dog. But it seems it IS absorbing energies. And that projection on the TV pic is obvious it doesn't mean good. For when I enhanced it, it is indeed a skeleton type image. I have done paranormal work before, and the best thing I can tell you is to stop fearing it. Don't even think about it most of the day. Emotions are a type of energy for it. Also, don't use any type of fire, chemicals, etc. Upon it. It seems that when you tried to burn it... it stored the fire until it had reached the preist and most likely expelled all that energy into his hand. And yes avoid the Oiuja boards. And if you could yes get a tape recorder, when using it, YELL simple questions to it while holding the microphone. Good luck, Be safe, And I hope you are well. Answered on Mar-23-05 A: Thank you very much for the support and information. The 'ignoring it' strategy definitely seems to be helping, and I am still working towards getting rid of the spirit. Thanks again for the help. Q: Go to the local church, get a dixie cup and scoop up some holy water....baptize stitch and watch him melt like the wicked witch. Answered on Mar-22-05 A: Excellent idea, and I may actually try that before sending the item. Thank you! Q: Suggested sollutions and more info - want to help (nothing wrong with positive karma :-) ) General Curse info: http://www.paranormalghostsociety.org/curses.htm Banishment of an evil spirit http://crypt.eldritchs.com/spells/b/Banish_An_Evil_Spirit.html protection: http://crypt.eldritchs.com/spells/b/Basil_Protection_Spell.html banishment: http://crypt.eldritchs.com/spells/b/Banishment_Spell.html Here is a whole list: http://crypt.eldritchs.com/spells/ Not saying one should be pagan but shotgunning a problem with sollutions cant hurt. Answered on Mar-22-05 A: Wow! Thank you very much!! I'm sure these links will prove to be very informative. Thank you again! Q: Have you considered having a heart-to-heart with 'Stitch' and see if there is a way to communicate with it. Maybe this is 'its' way of saying something? Answered on Mar-22-05 A: That has been suggested by quite a few people, and although intriguing, I don't know if it would be a good thing to do. It seems like the 'ignoring' it is the best thing I have done so far, as last night the incidents were, although unnerving, relatively calm. Q: hi if you would like to permently get rid of the toy l might be able to help you as l,m currently working for a elecrical contractors in soctland were we are currently de-comissioning a coal mine and l would be happy to leave the toy at the bottom of the shaft mine which is about 1800 feet deep just before the winding cable is cut. if you are intrested please re-pley and l,ll send you my address Answered on Mar-22-05 A: I will keep your email address on hand, and if things go badly with this, I will contact you for your address. Thank you very much for the offer - I will definitely keep you in mind! Q: Response Comment: The other bidder has won several lighters - I reviewed thier feedback (curious to know thier position) and saw that is mostly what they buy. I wouls also suggest you contact Ripleys Believe it or Not, or The enquirer/Sun? type media. This could make you a very rich man and give you the attention of a professional who may be able to help - this is if the sucker comes back. Curious - have you made this little b@stard watch Lilo & Stitch? Answered on Mar-22-05 A: I don't think I will be contacting any outside media, as that would just be giving the toy more attention, which is apparently one of the worst things you can do. And no, I have not made it watch Lilo & Stitch, but that may actually calm it down. :) Q: Not really a question just a statement, I believe you. Answered on Mar-22-05 A: Thank you. Q: Not so much a question but more of a suggestion. If this story is real, I am objective to decide, however any revenue generated may be best spent on incense, holy candles or toward church services ect - nothing tangible. As to allow another degree of separation from you and this spirit/item. I would ask the priest to bless some duct tape and bathe the sucker in holy water, also I suggest you go to another church who may have a stronger clergy member. Those who mention that this may just be a ploy to deviate attention away from the real cause of this problem could also be accurate. Review the other things you have taken back from your trip as well. Once while reading a white magic book it was suggested to rid yourself of evil spirits open and close doors – supposedly caused a vortex and confused them, like discipline. Don’t know that this would work but I had read it before. If this story is true it looks like the high bidder now (3/22 10:55cst) is stocking up on lighters, ha ha Answered on Mar-22-05 A: Purchasing some of those things may actually be a good idea, if even just to prevent anything like this from happening again. The doors idea sounds a little strange, but could work, so I am not opposed to trying it. I also don't understand the lighters comment - is the bidder also bidding on lighters? :) Q: Hi man, i'm fairly skeptical about this, but Was gripped by the updates and am now not sure. If what you are writing is true then I feel very sorry for you. Have you tried filming the toy while you are asleep, to see what happens? You could sell the film on for alot if anything happens, although it may freak you out to watch it. If you really wanna get rid of it, leave it in a grave yard where it will find other spirits and form a new route to it's devices. goodluck Answered on Mar-22-05 A: The graveyard idea is a good one, if the auction ends up not being a way to escape it. As for videotaping it, I have tried before (as you can see in an earlier question response), and at this point, not something I really want to try again. Thanks for the input though! Q: What day did you take the doll to the church, like date wise? Answered on Mar-22-05 A: March 17. You can see this on the timestamp on the picture of the hand, and please see the last update if you are confused by the date of the update about it. Thanks. Q: Have you looked you fiancee straight in the eyes and asked her how many of these stitch toys she still has left? Answered on Mar-22-05 A: No, as I really don't think that she would be doing something like this. Of course, you may be on the right track, which I suppose would be the most obvious answer. You live up to your name. Q: You say you can't get it to burn. If I buy it and manage to burn it, do I get a refund? Answered on Mar-22-05 A: No, as I have stated that you may or may not experience any kind of paranormal activity from the toy. If in fact the toy arrives, and has no supernatural powers, you will most likely have no problems burning it. Q: I still think you need to stop being afraid and deal with it yourself. You could be just like Micheal Keaton and save them! You can do it Micheal... We believe in you, don't pass it off to someone else... the doll could kill them trying to get back to you. It's better dealt with by Batman than some regular Joe. Answered on Mar-22-05 A: OK.... Aaaaannnnd bid cancelled. Thanks for the chuckle. Q: My husband is a huge fan of ghosts and all that. He had me read this auction and of course he sits there believing every word, which could very well be true, im not saying this is a lie, nor do I care since im not bidding, but I will tell you I noticed discrepencies with the times you wrote some updates and also with times/dates of your updates vs. the pictures you took- i.e. the pic of the "burned priests hand" was taken the day before you updated saying you were there that day. Who knows- maybe your camera is "off a day" or whatever, but good luck with your auction and if its true- I pray for your safety and the safety of whoever purchases the item. Answered on Mar-21-05 A: You are right that the update is from the next "day", but it was actually 12:10 at night, when I made the update. So, it had happened the same day, but it was after midnight that I put the update on. Sorry for any confusion. Q: http://www.warrens.net/ I'd suggest contacting these people...My betis that this is definately demonic, much similar to their case of the haunted doll. I did not read the link you posted concerning a doll, but if the story concerned a raggedy anne doll, the people in the link I provided you were the ones that dealt with it. I assume that the stitch doll is doing nothing, but a demon is trying using the doll to make you think its the doll, and I suggest that you stop giving the doll so much recognition. Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I checked the website out, and it was very informative. While I do not have the money to pay them to fly out (well, to pay for any & all expenses), I did get some good information from the FAQ. Please see the latest update for more information. Thank you very, very much for this link. Q: If I win this item and you send it - how can you guarantee it won't pop up in your house the following morning, and I'll be left with nothing? Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I can't guarantee that, and like stated before, I can't guarantee that you will even experience any of the situations I have. I can, however, guarantee that if you do not receive the Stitch toy, or if you receive an empty box, a full refund will be given. Q: Hey. About the electro-magnetic field, you should try getting hold of some iron filings, and placing them on a flat surface, and see if they arrange in some sort of pattern, which may distinguish towards the doll. Good luck... Answered on Mar-21-05 A: Yet another good idea - I don't know exactly where I would get iron filings, but it is definitely something to consider. Thanks! Q: Seems awful skeptical, However, since I do not plan on bidding, I'll just accept that it's true. You know, talking to it, while scary, may help out. If it tells you exactly what it's problem is, you could always help the spirit. And wouldn't that ultimately be the best thing anyways? I don't understand how you could want to pass this off to someone else. At some point, it's going to have to be put to rest, and it looks like it's chosen you to help it do so. Most times spirits latch to the person that they KNOW can help them. Don't be afraid, embrace it and help it. Answered on Mar-21-05 A: While you may have a point, I am too nervous to really do anything. If it turns out that selling the Stitch is not the solution, then, as an even-worse last resort, I will look into finding out more about what it wants. My hope is that whoever wins the auction will experience whatever I have, and have the courage to get more information, and hopefully help this spirit. I know there are a lot of people out there with much more knowledge and experience than me out there. Q: Hello! Just wondering if you have taken any photos where there are orbs present?...(around the toy or any object in your home for that matter)...I think this entity is getting stronger with all of the attention it is getting....if it is a poltergeist, it will feed off of fear & learn how to better manifest itself...PLEASE be careful!!! Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I have not noticed any orbs or anything in any photos I have taken, but I will take a look at others that have been taken in the past year or so. I think attention is feeding it, as we are experiencing much more now than we ever have before, and it just keeps happening. We are being as careful as we can for now. Thank you for the comments. Q: Personally I too can be very sceptical regards to paranormal activity, but as soon as read this, long before people started to comment I got a really sick feeling in the pit of my stomach just from looking at the picture, did you have any experiences at home pre buying the toy? Also, try hanging a cross or rosary around its neck/on top of the safe, may help to settle the activity unless its becomes worse, I have a feeling the priest felt more scared than he let on, afterall it can't be a good sign if it burn't his hand - since he is a man of the cloth!! Good luck, I hope you get it far away... Answered on Mar-21-05 A: We had just moved in to the house shortly before our trip to Florida, and I hadn't really thought it was anything but the toy, but I suppose you could be right. A lot of people seem to be getting very scared by this, and I am feeling bad, as I didn't think this many people would care.... Q: It sounds like you may have some type of entity that is connected with the toy. The magnets, and tapes would suggest an high energy EMF (electro,magnetic,field) It is believed that for an entity to manifest itself it needs to pull energy from anywhere it can..i.e. (batteries, air going from warm to cold, possibly even the magnets you spoke of) I'm going post this on the TAPS website and see if they have any orginization in your area that may be able to help you. You might want to also post or contact TAPS yourself about this. there web site is http://the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com The comment about the Quija board DO NOT USE under any circumstance. Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I have not heard of the TAPS organization, but I will check it out. Also, as I have had comments advising against it, I will NOT be using a ouija board. Thanks. Q: Just some advice: Do not attempt to open any sort of dialogue or engage yourself in any way vis-a-vis this item. That would be a huge mistake. You would just be making yourself a target for more focused and dangerous attention. Ouija boards are a portal for dark forces and should be avoided at all costs; that would only make things worse. Your priest needs to contact his church for a referral to someone specializing in such matters. There are priests with more experience in this area who can help you. You can also submit a question for info or advice at coasttocoastam dot com. Be careful how you handle this and good luck Answered on Mar-21-05 A: You seem to know what you are talking about here, so I will heed your advice about not purchasing/using a ouija board. I will also check out the website you have given, but I am almost a little skeptical about speaking with another priest, given the experience I had with the last one. Thanks for the help. Q: MAY GOD MAVE MERCY ON THE NEW OWNERS...!!! Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I feel the same way, and I'm sure that whoever purchases this will appreciate your concern. Q: Hi, Uh, after I read the question about the face in the tv screen, I tried to see it. I looked at the wrong picture, and I still saw a face. The picture of all the animals on top of the tv, in the top right corner of the tv I can see a face there too. Just wondering if you'd noticed that one. It's a bit harder to see than the other one, but I can make out two eyes, a mouth and a nose, also I think a neck. Other than that, from a fellow Albertan, I say thanks for shipping this thing outta my home province. Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I can kind of see what you are talking about, but it takes a bit of imagination. Maybe my entire house is possessed by something or another. I should look into moving, but then I have to pay a penalty, as I am locked into a mortgage... Q: have you thought about taking it to a psychic Answered on Mar-21-05 A: I actually did think of that, and will hopefully be able to get one to come out to our house in the very near future. The only problem with that, is I don't know anyone who can give good references, and although I do believe that certain people have extra senses, etc, a lot of 'psychics' are actually just scam artists. Q: Hey there! Sorry to hear of your woes.. I read that someone ask the question of talking to it. Maybe trying a Quija board w/ the doll infront might help you uncover some answers. ^_^ Also try this: use a voice recorder and ask it questions, keep the recorder running. Then when you are finished, play it back and see if you can pick up anything. Its called EVP electronic voice projection. Not to scare you or anything, but sometimes pesky poltergeists come back even when the item is long gone and house another part of your house. Which is why i suggest you might want to find out about the doll before thinking you've rid yourself completely of it. Im suprirsed thou o_O the priest you went to wouldnt help you out further w/ an exorcism... Answered on Mar-20-05 A: I think picking up a recorder would be a good idea, as it has been mentioned by more than a few people. I would be more skeptical about a ouija board, but after all of this, I will pretty much believe anything. I don't know about the priest either, but I can't really blame him - the only reason I'm involved is because I can't do anything not to be. Q: Normally, I would think a story like this is a bluff, but I must say that I believe you. The pictures and the details are very convincing. Have you tried putting a tape recorder in the room with the toy? Some ghost hunters say you can capture inaubible voices on tape (EVP). AAEVP gives some helpful tips on making recordings. You might try asking some questions of whatever it is while the recorder is running, see what it wants. However, I wouldn't blame you if you were too scared to try. This is about the creepiest thing I've ever heard. You and the person who ends up with this thing will be in my prayers. God bless you. Answered on Mar-20-05 A: Thank you for the concern - it is very appreciated. I unfortunately do not have a tape recorder, and the sound on my video camera is terrible at best. Maybe a tape recorder would be a good investment at this point, but as you stated, and I said before, speaking with the toy would mean taking it out and being in contact with it for a period of time, and I don't know if that's something I would like to do. Thanks again for the ideas, and the prayers. Q: can i get a pic of the holy man's hands, you said he let you take a picture, can you show me? Answered on Mar-19-05 A: Please see the latest update for the link to the pictures. Thanks. Q: burn it!!!! Answered on Mar-19-05 A: We've tried. No luck. Q: Have you tried talking to the toy? If it is possessed by a spirit, try asking for it's name and what it wants. What it's doing with you and why? Any update on the other pics yet? Maybe a pic of the priests hand? Answered on Mar-19-05 A: That's a good idea - something I will try soon, as I will need to work up the courage to actually sit in the same room with it for an extended period of time. I have finally put all of the pics up till now up on Mediashack. I will be posting the link soon. Q: are you able to take a video of the toy, and put it up?? like you could put the camera in a room with the stitch and then see if it moves??? Answered on Mar-18-05 A: I have tried that previously, and any movement I could see was unnoticable by anyone else. (My fiancee said she could see it ONCE). I also do not want to take any new videos, as that would mean I would have to free the toy from the sage, and anyway, I don't have anywhere I could host a video, even if I still had my old ones. Sorry, but pics are going to be all I can do for now. I will try to find somewhere to put up all the pics I have for this so far, then I can post a link, to stop everyone from having to ask me to send them. Q: I live in Australia - if I win, do you really think it will come back to you? -Char Answered on Mar-18-05 A: I sincerely hope not, and think that Australia would be probably the best place to send this thing. As a matter of fact, since the bidding has gotten this high, I will ship for free now, worldwide. Q: There are lots of cases on haunted dolls & toys all over the internet - why don't you get some information there? Answered on Mar-18-05 A: Sorry I didn't get to answering sooner, and thanks for the advice - I was able to find the link above, and actually found out about another haunted doll from Florida named 'Bob'. I don't have time to grab the link now if I want to answer these questions, but I should be able to post it soon. Thanks for the advice. Q: Could you please post the latest picture you have after it escaped from under the tv? This is one of the scarier auctions I have seen in this section! Answered on Mar-17-05 A: I will email it to you right away. Q: What will you do if it comes back to you? Just ship it back to the new owner? Answered on Mar-17-05 A: That's something I hadn't really considered. I just figured if I sold it, it would be gone. I would send it back to the new owner a couple of times, but if it were to keep coming back, I guess I would send it again, and we would move. I'm just really putting my faith in the fact that when it is purchased from me, the curse will be passed on as well. Q: Interesting to say the least, I looked at the 1st photo and I noticed a scary face to the bottom left of the TV (Kind of a white color)- is that something or just another stuffed animal ? It might just be my computer so I wanted to ask you ....just thought I would mention that....thanks, Beth Answered on Mar-17-05 A: I hadn't even noticed that - it looks like right in the very bottom left it is a reflection of the Stitch, but over to the right a bit, there is a white image - it looks almost head or skull shaped. It would not be another stuffed animal, as the TV would only be reflecting me (and I was wearing a black shirt), and the floor, which has nothing but a table & couch. I really don't know what that could be, as the only haunting we've experienced has come directly from the toy itself. Q: Hi there, very interesting item you have.....that I want. I noticed you live in Edmonton, I do too. Would I be able to come pick it up to save on shipping charges? Answered on Mar-17-05 A: As this would normally not be a problem, I will have to decline, and ask you to please not bid on this item again. I will not sell this item to anyone in Edmonton, and would actually prefer to get it out of the province, or, even better, the country. So, if you live in Alberta, please do not bid. Thanks, and sorry to make this item unavailable, but keeping it in the same city is just something I can't do. Q: Does the item have any foul odors? Answered on Mar-17-05 A: For the most part no, and thank you for reminding me - I can't believe I forgot to mention it. There were times when it was on the shelf that we did notice a foul odor coming from the corner where we keep our TV, but did not even consider the Stitch, as we had not had any other issues with it. However, the smell would be gone within a few minutes, and only happened a few times. I cannot say if it still happens, as we have tried to be in possession of it for as little time as possible over the past months. Also, like mentioned before, even when doused with lighter fluid, that smell was gone immediately, so it seems to absorb not only liquid, but smell as well. Q: how much to ship to 40031 Answered on Mar-16-05 A: It should be about $10-$15, depending on how much tape or rope is used, and how small I compact the thing. It would also be less if you did want me to dismember it, as I would be able to stuff the pieces into a smaller box. I hope you have read the description, and know what you are getting into if you place a bid. Thanks. The doll sold for $11,100. |
