A little girl who was about 2 yrs old, during christmas, got a cabbage doll from her grandparents. She grew quite attached to that doll and carried it everywhere with her. did things with the doll. Well when she turned 6 years old, that doll was starting to be pretty haunting. At night the doll’s eyes would start glowing and it started making that girl nervous so she tried to ignore the doll. after few months it would get worse that eventually at night, one night when she was sleeping, the doll’s face flashed into her face in her sleep and it jumped her right out of bed. she was like, ok that it, all of the dolls are going bye bye… she finally got rid of all of her dolls cuz of that. this is based on a true story and it happened to me…

When i was 9 years old I was learning how to drive an 3 wheeler motorcycle with my dad. Well one time when my dad went along with me so i could drive the 3 wheeler, he was sitting behind me. I pushed the starter button to get the wheeler going too fast, so i went too fast and the wheeler just flipped back on me. that all i can remember, next thing i remembered i was carried back to the cabin. my body was numb but i did not realized i was hurt bad. my dad had it worse, his whole side of the leg was really scraped up good. some on his arm too. i tried to get up to walk and fell cuz i was very hurt and my back hurt more then anything else… so for the next 2 or 3 weeks, i could not lay in bed very good or anything. i don’t remember the 3 wheeler flipping or anything at all, its blocked off in my mind somewhere.
