A man came home from work with a gift for his son. He had picked up a new video game for him, Sonic R. It was a racing game and when he gave his son the gift, he was so excited to get it and play it right away. That night he played the game with his son and they had a great time. A couple of days later the boy was almost finished with the game. His dad was there in his room when he beat the last boss and he roared in excitement when he finially did it.

Possibly a small percent of you have heard of the &#8216;tails doll&#8217;. Here is ONE of the stories I have heard of from my close friend.</p>
<p>A man came home from work with a gift for his son. He had picked up a new video game for him, Sonic R. It was a racing game and when he gave his son the gift, he was so excited to get it and play it right away. That night he played the game with his son and they had a great time. A couple of days later the boy was almost finished with the game. His dad was there in his room when he beat the last boss and he roared in excitement when he finially did it. He smiled and asked him how he liked the game as he watched the credits screen. &#8220;W-what&#8217;s that?&#8221; He asked the boy when The Tails Doll appeared on the screen. The boy said it was the Tails Doll, that was all he knew. </p>
<p>He told his son it was time for bed. During the night, the curious father went into the boy&#8217;s room and turned on the TV very quietly to play the game for a while himself. He noticed that he now had the option to play as &#8220;Tails Doll.&#8221; He chose him to tag up with some of the gang.</p>
<p>The game was fun until he tagged him up with Sonic. The screen went black when the game system shut itself down. The man decided it was time for him to go to sleep since he had to work in the morning so he crept out of his son&#8217;s room and went to lay in bed with his wife. </p>
<p>At around 2:00am he woke up when he heard thumps on his door. He assumed it was his son getting up to ask him to get him something. He told the boy to &#8220;Stop go back to bed.&#8221; The thumping kept happening and at one point he noticed a little shadow coming from under the door. </p>
<p>&#8220;Tails&#8221; kept popping into his head. He got out of bed and slowly opened the door. Then he heard someone say this very softly, &#8220;You are coming with me&#8230; forever.&#8221; It was a doll. An evil, blood-covered, possessed little doll. It was the doll from the game, it had to be. </p>

Apparently the video game was cursed. He had unlocked Tails Doll in the game. He played a game mode called Tag Race and used Tails doll to tag: Tails, Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles and Super Sonic. That night, his TV froze and he saw Tails Doll on the screen going back and forth. He jumped out and killed the poor little kid.</p>
<p>How To Do The Tails Doll Curse:<br />
Go in the bathroom and turn off the lights. Go to Youtube and view Can You Feel The Sunshine backwards then Living In The City backwards. There will be a red light in the mirror. </p>

<h2>Another Version</h2>
<p>This doll is no ordinary doll. This doll is pure EVIL. People make videos about it, Wikipedia and other stuff. THE TAILS DOLL!</p>
<p>To summon him you must play the sonic R game, 100% completed, play as the tails doll and play tag mode, while playing tag mode you will see super sonic, when you tag him something strange will happen. The screen will change to a picture of the tails doll. You will see him standing on a red checkered floor. You might be hearing a song called Can You Feel the Sunshine. If you see a red light DON&#8217;T GO NEAR IT! It&#8217;s the tails doll. It might kill you or it will give you a curse. It will give bad luck. </p>

The time is about 1917. Smallpox rears its ugly face and mass inoculation follows on its heels. It is customary, at this time, to inoculate all children in schools against the dreaded disease. Obtaining consent from the parents before inoculating the child is not customary. Children are routinely inoculated, at school, several times for the same disease without parents giving consent or being advised of the inoculations. 
Marcella Gruelle is the young daughter of Johnny Gruelle; a successful writer and illustrator employed by a magazine entitled Physical Culture. Marcella has been inoculated at school. She loses her appetite, becomes feverish and fatigued. Her parents do not consent to more inoculations, yet more are given. Marcella&#8217;s health continues to decline.

The time is about 1917. Smallpox rears its ugly face and mass inoculation follows on its heels. It is customary, at this time, to inoculate all children in schools against the dreaded disease. Obtaining consent from the parents before inoculating the child is not customary. Children are routinely inoculated, at school, several times for the same disease without parents giving consent or being advised of the inoculations. </p>
<p>Marcella Gruelle is the young daughter of Johnny Gruelle; a successful writer and illustrator employed by a magazine entitled Physical Culture. Marcella has been inoculated at school. She loses her appetite, becomes feverish and fatigued. Her parents do not consent to more inoculations, yet more are given. Marcella&#8217;s health continues to decline. She loses her muscle control, becoming listless and lifeless like a rag doll. </p>
<p>Marcella dies a slow and painful death. Seven leading physicians are called upon to opine about the cause of her death. Six consented it is the result of vaccine induced poisoning and call it malpractice. The seventh, being the head of the school board and an supporter of vaccination, declines to comment. </p>
<p><img src="http://urbanlegendsonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/raggedy_ann1.gif" alt="" title="Illustration by Johnny Gruelle" style="width: 300px; float: right; margin: 0 0 10px 20px;border: none;">Soon after his daughter&#8217;s death, Johnny is asked to create an illustration to accompany an article, &quot;Vaccines Killed My Two Sisters.&quot; The cartoon is a clever and effective work, reflective of Johnny&#8217;s style which is familiar to the readers of the magazine. However, they are not prepared for the note which Mr. Gruelle encloses with his single drawing. It reads: </p>
<blockquote><p>&quot;Having recently lost our only daughter through Vaccination (in public school, without our consent) you may realize how terribly HUMOROUS the subject of vaccination appears to Mrs. Gruelle and myself. Of the seven physicians called in on the case, six pronounced it in emphatic terms MALPRACTICE. The seventh did not commit himself, being the head of the school board and a firm advocate of vaccination.&quot; </p></blockquote>
<p>Shortly after Marcella&#8217;s death, Johnny creates a doll much different than the more popular, rigid, clay dolls of the time. Rather than create a doll that stands up straight with a healthy and happy glow, in a fitting tribute to his only daughter, he designs a doll to represent her limp and dying body. </p>
<p>In 1920, midwest department store giant, Marshal Field, markets Raggedy Ann. Though most people have no knowledge of the tragic inspiration behind this beloved child&#8217;s toy, Raggedy Ann symbolizes a near century of childhood vaccine injuries and deaths. </p>
<p>As we cuddle our sweet dollies at bed time, we do not know that we are preparing ourselves for a time when we may hold our own, lifeless, listless, vaccine-injured child in our arms. </p>
<p>Help yourself to the apple pie.<br />

		<description><![CDATA[Lucy had been given a small doll as a gift from her parents. The doll was to them by an ancient great aunt who had now passed away. Lucy was secretly unnerved by the doll which had nasty little black eyes that seemed to follow her around the room and a cross expression on its face. Nevertheless, Lucy had to accept the doll, as she was well brought up and didn&#8217;t want to upset her parents by informing them of how uneasy it made her feel. The note that came with the doll said it&#8217;s name was Annabella, which seemed to suit her. Now Lucy was even more afraid now the doll had a name.

The doll was to them by an ancient great aunt who had now passed away. Lucy was secretly unnerved by the doll which had nasty little black eyes that seemed to follow her around the room and a cross expression on its face. Nevertheless, Lucy had to accept the doll, as she was well brought up and didn&#8217;t want to upset her parents by informing them of how uneasy it made her feel. The note that came with the doll said it&#8217;s name was Annabella, which seemed to suit her. Now Lucy was even more afraid now the doll had a name. It seemed to make it more human, and if it was even a little human then what might it be capable of? </p>
<p>Lucy didn&#8217;t believe that the doll could do anything to her. It was just a doll after all and only reached up to just above her knee. To put her mind at rest she stuffed Annabella into the little cupboard under the stairs where she wouldn&#8217;t have to see her. It was not until a few nights later when Lucy was lying in bed that she heard a noise, a shuffling sound, which went on for about five minutes. Then she heard a brief dragging noise and finally, a scuttling like light footsteps walking very fast. By now Lucy was pinned to the bed with fear, then she heard a voice say &quot;Lucy, I&#8217;m on the first step&quot; She then loud scrabbling again as whatever was speaking apparently turned tail and returned to its place of hiding. </p>
<p>Lucy was so scared that she didn&#8217;t sleep a wink that night but laid awake in bed until the break of dawn, when her mother got her up for school. Lucy tried to explain to her mother what had happened the night before but she was just so tired. Her mother passed it off as &quot;just a dream&quot; and Lucy began to believe she might be right.</p>
<p>Lucy begged her parents that they might get rid of the doll, but they insisted that it had been the great aunt&#8217;s wish that it would be left to Lucy. She reluctantly went to bed that night repeating to herself that it had only been a dream. She checked the cupboard under the stairs, but Annabella was exactly where Lucy had left her. </p>
<p>That night Lucy fought sleep but she eventually drifted off. She woke up when she heard the voice again. &quot;Luuuuucccccccyyyyy&#8230;.I&#8217;m on the fifth step.&quot; it said. Then came to scuffling noise and silence. Lucy cried all night and again, she didn&#8217;t sleep. The next day Lucy told her friends at school about the doll and they laughed at her. Lucy could only think that if Annabella was climbing four steps at a time then there was only one more night until she reached the top. </p>
<p>That night Lucy decided to shut her bedroom door. Her mother noticed because Lucy usually kept her door open slightly so that she could see the light from the hall. Lucy had always been afraid of the dark. Lucy asked if she could keep her bedroom light on, but her mother thought that light was far too bright and would keep her awake. Because Lucy was more afraid of the doll than of the dark, she insisted on closing her door and promised to sleep without a light. </p>
<p>Just as she began to doze, Lucy heard a noise coming from outside her bedroom door. &quot;Luuucyy. I&#8217;m on the top step&#8230;&quot; Lucy was terribly afraid. Her heart pounding, she knew if she stayed in bed she wouldn&#8217;t be safe so she got up to investigate. She got out of the bed and with a tiny, shaking hand, she opened her door and stepped out into the hall. </p>
<p>Her parents found her body at the bottom of the stairs. They guessed she had tried to go to the bathroom in the night without switching on the light, had lost her balance and slipped, breaking her neck. Annabella was laying beside her, cuddled underneath one arm. In her parents grief, they thought she must have loved the doll very much and since she had it with her when she perished. They decided to bury the doll with Lucy. Everyone said what a tragedy it was. Her parents wondered why the little cupboard door under the stairs was open when they had found their daughter dead. At least Annabella was now buried and would never be able to strike again. </p>

<h2>Another Version:</h2>
<p>It was Jane&#8217;s birthday this coming Saturday so her parents brought her into town to find something that would interest her. She saw a doll in a shop that she really liked and her parents thought the doll was alright, but suggested she look for another toy because this one seemed to be broken. The doll only had 9 fingers. Jane insisted that she wanted it, so her parents bought it for her. Later that night when she went to bed, she was woken up a by a sound. </p>
<p>&#8220;I am Marian and I am at the bottom of the stairs&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I am marian and I am half way up the stairs&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I am marian and I am at the top of the stairs&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I am marian and I am outside your bedroom&#8221;<br />
&#8220;I am marian and I am and im right here!!&#8221; </p>
<p>The next morning her parents found her daughter in the bed mutilated, and the doll right next her. They were astounded to see that the doll now only had 8 fingers.</p>
