*SHUDDER* Oh lord... that gave me chills. I had something just as creepy happen in my house but from a different source.
My aunt Pat went to Key West a few years back and came back with a doll,
a reproduction of one some lunatic used to carry around down there... it gave me the serious creeps from the moment I saw it, more when I heard the story.
The worst part is she brought it for
me.
I never had it in my bedroom, I put it in the guest room instead.
From the day that thing came into the house there were things going wrong. The cats wouldn't even go into that room, only zoom past the door. Stuff broke, new pipes leaked, all sorts of little things.
For once, my mother actually
listened when I told her that doll was bad juju. Once i was done telling her the tale she crossed herself and prayed a quick rosary. It turns out
she never liked it either - but she thought it was because it came from aunt Pat.
We drve down to the nearest Salvation Army collection point (because I don't like them or their policies) and dropped it off, got some holy water from the local parish, and she sprayed the house with the stuff. I burned some incense, for pretty much the same reason.
Things did improve after that.
