Poor Tempe isn't sleeping well, because she's living a nightmare...

Hey, my name is Tempe from England, just a bit north of London...I'm not using my
real name because I don't want my friends to take the mick out of me and I don't want
people to beat the crud out of me either.

My mum gave me Sonic Gems Collection about a year ago, shortly after I got the
Mega Collection. My first thought was to play Sonic the Fighters, which I did, but
recently I took to having a go on Sonic R. At first I was awful but have gotten better,
though I only have an 100% game because a pre-owned memory card that came with
it.

Here's where things got freaky. I had some friends over for a sleepover, on a
Wednesday since it was half term. We just played random games, including Sonic R,
and drew stuff etc... --- did the normal random stuff we usually do. During a tag match,
one of them used Super Sonic ( we all laughed and called him a n00b for using the
best charrie), another with the Tails Doll, myself as Tails and my last mate was Amy (
we also laughed at her for picking the WORST charrie in the game). You can probably
guess the results, but we were tagged in this order: Amy, Tails, Super Sonic, by the
Tails Doll. The reward for winning the match was a picture of the winning character, so
I drew the Tails Doll (none of my friends are interested/great in drawing Sonic
characters), but he ended up leaving it behind anyway.

The next day, I noticed that my Sonic Plushie (a retro version) had vanished from my
room, as had the two t-shirts I owned with him on them (I later discovered that they
had somehow been placed in the loft, when no-one had gone there). That was pretty
weird but I didn't worry much as I often lose things unexplainably, plus my Tails Plushie
(a Sonic X edition) was perfectly fine and on my bed as always. The next night I had a
freaky dream, where all I saw was a pair of blank, unreadable eyes. I woke up really
freaked and frightened by the experience and grabbed my Tails Plushie to help clam
me down and soothe me to sleep.

It turned out to be a bad idea. Just as I was settling, I felt the toy begin to change
within my fingertips. It became larger, and taller - it WAS under 30cm tall, but grew to
be about 3-4ft. The fabric became eeriely soft and kinda fur like, while the three
pieces of fringe were replaced with a glowing ruby. I just froze up, and luckily the toy
wasn't facing me so I didn't see it's eyes. I tried to detach myself but my arms couldn't
dislodge themselves from around the Tails Doll, and I couldn't speak - it was like my
vocal cords had been shut off.

I must've blacked out, because when I came to it was morning, and sunshine was
beaming into my room. I backed away at first but then realised that my toy was back to
normal - there wasn't any marks or features that suggested a nocturnal change. I
would've called it a nightmare, but then I found that the Doll had left me a gift - "Can
You Feel The Sunshine" was on my MP3 player, when I never had the track before,
on CD or computer. I also found the picture I had drawn, only now a childish character
had been drawn next to it. I think he returned the favor and drew me...

The scariest part is that he sometimes visits, either taking the place of my Tails
Plushie (sometimes facing me and sometimes facing away) or appearing in my
dreams. I can never speak when he's there and he never says a word, blinks or even
closes his eyes. He just glows that jewel of his until I fall asleep and then he's gone in
the morning. I have sometimes felt something sticky on his fur/plush, and I think it
might be blood. I'm lucky - I never completed the game myself, which I think is stopping
him from doing any actual harm to me...

How do you feel about Magic?  Apparently, Sonic likes'em.  I've said it before and I'll
say it again -- I believe in the Tails Doll, but have trouble believing Sonic is real.

Hello there.  Call me magic.  I had heard about the Tails Doll, and I thought it was a
load of BS. I wanted to prove that this rumor is false, but boy, what a big mistake!

I went on Ebay to buy a Saturn and Sonic R.  Surprisingly, the game and the machine
were both a penny! When my items were delivered, I hooked up the Saturn and
popped the disc in. Something stopped me though -- I had a strange feeling. I ignored
it and continued with my business. 3 hours later, I beat the game 100% and waited for
5 minutes.  "HA," I thought, "I knew it didn't exist." I was tired, so i went to bed.

The next day, I got up for school. When I went to brush my teeth, I found a post-it note
on my head. So i took it off and read it. It said "you're NEXT." I was like "WTF?" I
thought my little bro was playing a prank on me, so I showed him the note. He said he
never wrote it. Again, I was like "Wtf?" So I ate breakfast and went to school. When
school was out, I looked out of the classroom windows and I saw blue eyes and a red
glowing gem. I went home to find my house covered in red. When I went inside, I found
my brother's guts hanging from the ceiling fan -- I nearly puked. I ran upstairs and
went to my room. There I saw The TAILS DOLL!  I tried to fight it, and it rammed me
against the wall, easily. I punched it.  Then I saw a Blue flash!  Then to my right, I saw
Sonic!  Sonic hit the Tails Doll And it disappeared. The next day, I found another post-
it note and it said: "The tails doll will spare you... For now."

This comes from a guy once named Mark.  Now, he answers to the name "Mystic
Servant."

I am a servant of the TD and I am very grateful of my Master. I would like to tell you
the story of how I became a servant.

It all started 2 years ago when my name was Mark. My best friend, Tom was a big
Sonic fan and he always called me when he got a new sonic game. One day I was
watching TV and I got a phone call from Tom.

"Hello?" I said.

"Dude, I just got a Saturn and two Sonic games!" He exclaimed.

"Really Which ones?" I asked.

"Sonic R and Sonic Jam." He said.

I said "Great." not sounding very interested.

"Dude come over and play! Sonic R is 2 player and I almost beat it!" He said.

"Okay. I'll be right over there." I said.


So I hopped on my bike and biked over to his house. By the time I got there his door
was covered in blood (I thought it was red marker) that spelled KEEP OUT~~~TD. I
Thought Tom was just trying to scare me because his initials are TD.

I rang the doorbell to my surprise I didn't hear the ding-dong instead I heard:

"Can you feel the Sunshine?"

I was then a bit spooked, but I just shrugged it off. No one came to the door, so I just
walked in and went up to his room. I opened the door and saw Tom had been choked
to death with the Saturn's controller cord. Now I was scared. I was about ready to
leave when I turned around to see my master ( the Tails Doll) was floating in front of
me.

I then passed out. I'm not sure what happened but when I woke up I found myself in a
cave filled with lava and blood and so many soul-melting images. My master told me
not to be afraid -- he said he would protect me. Just then, I felt like something entered
my body, but my master was still in front of me so I asked him what happened.

He told me I have been given the powers he has and that if I wish to keep them, then I
must obey him. I tried shooting lightning out of my fingers first because that seems like
one of the most common powers villains have in comics and sure enough I could! He
told me I must address him as master and that my name is no longer Mark Germaine it
is now Mystic Servant.

So now I must serve all my masters orders, and sometimes I even have to take his
form if he is busy haunting someone else.

Well I have to go serve my master.

LONG LIVE TAILS DOLL
~~~Mystic Servant

P.S. You're next, Reader.

Axl the Dark has quite a name -- and he has quote a story to boot!

I have lived to tell this story -- this encounter that I had with the Tails Doll.  I never
believed all those stories about the curse, but now I do.  Here's the story.......

One day, I was rummaging through my Gamecube game box, looking for a good game
to play, when I found my old Sonic Gems Collection. Grinning, I said 'Hey, why don't I
see if that Tails Doll curse is real! I mean, everyone on that quackerandbowen site
makes stories up! That don't fool me!'

I put the game into my Gamecube and selected Sonic R.  My game was 100%
complete. I went on tag mode and played as the Tails Doll on Resort Island. I got
Metal Knuckles, who slipped into the water.  I got Metal Sonic soon after, because he
crashed into a ring gate that wasn't open - what a dork!  I got Egg Robo because of
how slow he was. Super Sonic took AGES to catch! When I ran past him, he turned
around to go the other way. While he did that, I caught him. I knew then that the curse
didn't exist. How wrong I was.

I blinked, and then I saw my TV go blank. All I could see on it was the Tails Doll. Its
eyes started to glow red.  It was staring straight at me. The power went off, and my
Gamecube stayed on, as did my TV.  I ran downstairs screaming to find the room was
empty. My family was gone, and there was blood all over the walls -- some saying
'TAILS DOLL'.

I ran upstairs and then I saw IT. The Tails Doll. It held a big knife with lots of blood on
it in it's paw.  It raised it, and just before it hit me, I passed out.

I woke up the next morning, got out of bed and felt fine.  I told my mom about the
situation and she just said 'Oh, you must have had a silly dream, but nevermind that.
What is this stupid doll of Tails doing here? Is it yours? It's stained with blood! Is it
yours, Jake?'

I said 'What about my dream? That must have something to do with it!'  Mom said 'Oh,
don't be silly."'  And with that, my mom burned it and threw it in the trash. When she
went, the doll's eyes glowed a bright fading red color..It murmured 'CAN YOU FEEL
THE SUNSHINE..' before it burnt to pieces.

Darthkain sends us the newest chapter of his tale...

I woke with a start and sat up to look around. I was in a cage with seven elevators and
an orange doll in the corner, staring at me. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I yelled
to nobody in particular. I was in the Tails Doll's possession, but how? I escaped when
Sonic helped me, so why was I still in this cell?

You probably know who I am by now -- you know, DarthKain?

The Tails Doll just stared at me, mocking my confusion and despair. "You want to
know why you're still here, I presume?" he asked, clearly amused. "When you
grabbed my gem, I put you into a vision to show you that you are helpless here.
However, I seemed to have looked past your will to survive. I will take care to not make
this mistake again in the future." And then he left.

All I could do was stare at nothing. I felt like I was free of this torture, of watching his
slaves, who do everything for him, being burned alive every day. Free of watching him
torture those who weren't loyal, breaking every bone in their body. TD believers, do
NOT, by any means, falter in your resistance! Please, for the love of God, kill this
abomination of all life if you get the chance. Find a weakness and kill it. Remember,
pulling the gem out doesn't work, and I'm speaking from experience on this one. I think
I even have a way to kill it! All you really have ...

Amazing. I give this fool his physical embodiment, let him keep his possessions, and I
do not kill his friends or family, and he still attempts to reveal the one way to kill me. I
will have to punish him severely for his actions. Can you feel the sunshine?

“Village of Shadow” sends us his slasher story.  He thinks he’s gotten the best of the
Doll, but that often leads to the worst…

Many people have seen the Tails Doll, and many people have died from him, but I
resent those statements because I saw the curse and I know how it begins. I have
Sonic R.  I've unlocked the Tails Doll, and I have all the music on a CD. I have a little
plush Tails Doll hanging from my ceiling as a reminder of what happened, and the
jewel is locked up in my safe as well.

About a month ago, I found a copy of Sonic R, remembered the curse, and thought
“hey, why not? I've always been known as the ‘devil’s advocate,’” so I bought It -- for
free. They guy didn't want it. I went home, put in my computer and beat it up ‘till the
last race. I thought, “hey, that’s good enough.  Now I can relax.”  Little did I know that
my little brother would soon be getting a house-call.  

He was home alone, and was happy that all was nice. I was off at a friend’s house,
playing Sonic Adventure 2 Battle, when I thought I suddenly had a feeling of oncoming
doom. I raced home, only to find my brother on my computer, about to beat the last
race. I ran in, punched my tower off my desk and watch as my CPU fried itself.  I
looked at the monitor and saw it frozen on the screen reading "YOU WIN! YOU
UNLOCKED THE TAILS DOLL“.  

I swore as my monitor flashed and the Tails Doll came out. I sat there between my
brother and the Tails Doll, thinking "Damnit, you had to leave the game running."  Me
being me, my first reaction was to grab the nearest weapon which in my case is my
weapon safe (I like sharp and pointy and dangerous things.  I unlocked it, watching
the Tails Doll all the time, but he just stood there, staring at my brother. I unlocked it,
opened it and every weapon fell around me. Only then did the Tails Doll look away
from Alex.

He grabbed my knife and started slashing at my brother.  Lucky as we are, my brother
managed to dodge a few jabs, but got the tip of his middle finger cut off!  By tip, I
mean all the way to a millimeter to the third knuckle. I grabbed my gun and shot the
Tails Doll, ripping off his hand - I'm a good shot - and he looked at me. I thought there
was no way to win.  We where going to die.

My hand brushed against my chain saw, and hope returned -- but only for two
seconds because the tails doll was coming towards me. I started the chain saw and
cut him in half.  Then I cut his head off his upper body.  I remembered that some say
you can take the jewel away to kill it, so I cut off the jewel and sat waiting wide eyed.

I waited until my parents got home and we went to the doctor to make sure Alex's
finger wasn't infected.  It wasn't, so we went home and I hung the three parts of the
tails doll to my ceiling and hid the jewel in my weapons safe.  Lastly, I threw the disk as
far as I could, hopping to never see it again.

A couple weeks later, I found myself humming an odd tune. I don't remember where I
got it from.  The only lyric that I can remember is "Can you feel the sunshine?"

Smusher6 thought he was done with the doll -- the Tails Doll has other plans.

Hi, there. Smusher6 again. I am unfortunately typing this from a replicated mix of my
bedroom and computer room. I haven’t played Sonic Gems Collection since the last
incident, but it found me anyways.

My friend Shaun, who lives near me, also has the Gems Collection, and he must have
performed the curse. My guess is that the Doll's close proximity to my house caused
him to regain his memories of finding me, and his fight with Knuckles. I believe this
because a couple of nights ago, I heard a knock on the door. I was home alone that
night, so I took a baseball bat with me when I went to answer the door. When I opened
the door, there was nothing there. I closed the door and then heard the knocking
again. That was when I realized that it was coming from the skylight above me.
When I looked up, I was horrified to see that the Doll was there. When I saw it, it
began to ooze through the skylight as if the glass was made of water. I tried to run to
my room to summon Knuckles again, but I was too slow. It grabbed me and teleported
me to some strange, psycadelic dimensional plane. "WHAT DO YOU WANT?!?" I
yelled at the Doll.

It's only reply, which was in a deep, guttural voice was, "ThE pUrItY oF yOuR sOuL!"
I tried to run, to put as much distance between myself and it as possible, but whenever
I turned around, it would be there. It then said that it didn’t want to kill me -- yet.
Instead, it wanted to strike a deal. If I were to go with him, he would spare Shaun. If I
refused, he would put Shaun's head on display in the town square, and drag me to his
domain by the hair. Seeing that I didn’t have much choice, I agreed to go with him.
Little did I know, that he had already devoured Shaun’s soul and was using his empty
shell as an overworld servant.

When I was told this later, I went at it with the baseball bat. I hit him over the head a
couple times, but that only made him angrier. At that time, he knocked me down, and
began to drag me by the hair. I still retain a telepathic link with the spirit of Knuckles.  I
feel that he’s working as hard as he can to round up more allies so that he can begin
a siege on the Tails Doll's HQ.  He now knows the location, thanks to the bond that we
share.

I have agreed to meet up with Celebaby soon to try to come up with some possible
escape tactics. I'll get back to you all when I can, so until then, this is Smusher6,
signing off.

“Lod605” shows use that honoring your parents isn’t always in your best interest…

I found your website and thought to myself "Pfft! Whoever believes this crap is
retarded! I'm going to try it." Then my dad came into my room and told me to turn off
my computer because it was time for school. So when I got back the first thing I did
was go to my Gamecube and play Sonic Gems -- yeah I know “Gems has the
Miyamoto seal,” but I read the story that said how to break it so I did -- I unlocked all
the characters after 3 hours and then did Tag as tails doll. I tagged Super Sonic and
at the end, it showed The Tails Doll doing a victory dance.  Words appeared that said:
"CONGRATULATIONS!"
“HA! I knew it wasn't real,” I said to myself.  Boy was I wrong.

The next day, I went to the jewelers to buy my girlfriend, Alyssa, a college ring (a ring
that swears you'll share a dorm or something) and I found a beautiful gold ring with a
bright red diamond in it. I bought it, though it cost almost everything I had. I went home
and put the ring in a box.

The next day was a Saturday, therefore I could see my girlfriend. I grabbed the ring
and looked at it. The diamond looked as if it were...pushing itself out. It made a sound
like "Schluuuuumpy." The diamond eventually got out and was sitting atop a wire I
took a look at what the wire was connected to and saw orange cloth. Curious, I pulled
it out but it wasn't just cloth - it was a doll whose eyes were large and vacant.  I
immediately recognized it – The Tails Doll. I dropped the empty ring but the doll didn't
fall.  Instead, it stayed afloat in the air.


"Do not run," said a voice in my head. I responded with, "Why not? I know who you
are, I know what you do!" "You at first had no fear. You are one who believes what he
wants, you are one to not be tricked easily, you are..." The words hung in the air.

"…Family."

I was shocked by this news but somehow felt it was true. I walked towards the doll. I
touched it. "You are all that is good, all that is evil. You are immortal." Just then it all
made sense.  I'm an orphan, I succeed as long as I try and I have never once gotten
cut or a broken bone. I told Tails doll to cut me and he did. Fluff came out. I knew in
my heart that he was my father. I hugged him and he hugged me back. I then asked
him why he kills.

"There are people who live on the innocence of life. They never take chances. Life is
worth living and if they don't do some living then there is no purpose for their life." I
nodded in agreement. "I now understand. But why did you come?" I asked. "I had to
stop you from getting to comfortable with Alyssa, as she is one of the people with no
purpose for life." "NO! Her purpose is to make me happy you can't do this," I strictly
told him. "I will do it as painless as possible" he said as he floated out of the room.

Filled with rage I picked up the empty ring and threw it at him. He turned around. "I
don't care if you're my father. It doesn't really matter, because you were never there
for me," I exclaimed. His eyes appeared to shrivel up, his nose began to twitch and his
stitches grew tighter. "Did you ever think maybe these people don't really need a
purpose?  We all live, we all die and we live in fear of death and..." I was unable to
finish when he suddenly came fly towards me.  I grabbed the jewel and ripped the wire
out of TD's head. His cloth began to sink to the floor as his stuffing poured out.

I knew he was up to something as his fur began to re-form.  I grabbed my Sonic Plush
and he then vanished into thin air screaming "I will never stop. I am all that is Evil.
Death will come to all!" The diamond then appeared back in the ring. I then ran to
Alyssa's house and told her the story. She didn't believe me, but at least she's alive
and still loves me.

Shadowwater, (AKA Icalasari) sends us a few more thoughts on the Doll...

Life... Is it really all that it is cracked up to be? After all, in the end, most of us won't
have achieved anything special. So, are we really so significant in the grand scheme
of things?

Last night, while I was stuffing the Tails Doll's hands, a decapitated Ladybug corpse
fell out from the stuffing, and it got me to thinking about life. That ladybug probably
thought it had so much to live for before it was killed. It probably thought, in its limited
way of thinking, "Why me? I have so much longer to live!" But yet... It didn't. Each of
us thinks that there is something special about us. Something that makes us worthy of
living forever.

The Tails Doll realizes there is nothing special about us. And he laughs at us when we
think there is. He has probably heard so many people begging him to let them live,
that they are too young to die. Yet, if we were in the same position as most other
animal species, we would die so very young.

Well, that is the end of this morbid train of thought.

O Dog sends us a heads up.  Looks like his time's up as well...

He's coming to kill me, I just know it. When I walked in to my bathroom, I saw this thing
in my toilet -- it was some sort of gem thing that was there and gone in a couple of
minutes. Then, it suddenly went back down covered in hair. ( I know it's gross, but it
true!) And now, like every hour, I swear, I keep hearing a girl scream, and I say it
sounds familiar. Like someone from school......! No, not her.... Somebody help me, I
think its coming,   srcuiwiul vyipvy2[ by gqr' , O god the pain! What was.... HOLY F***,
BLOOD IS ALL OVER ME LIKE I......O CRAP!


Pathetic mortals, I no longer needs people to perform the curse, just being in the
same room with those souls is enough. Long live the Tai  wait! Get of me! I'm not   oNe

This comes from Bob O, who reminds us that you Sonic R isn't the only way for the
Tails Doll to get you.

I will be frank -- I've never played Sonic R and I never will, but it doesn't seem to
matter to The Tails Doll if you play it or not.

It was about sunset and something didn't feel right. I felt a chill on the back of my neck
as if someone was watching me, I ignored it and blamed it on the wind coming though
the window even though a little alarm was going off in my head screaming "Tails Doll!"

I suppose I should have done something smart like walking away from that spot, but I
seemed unable to move my legs. So, I reached up and closed the blinds on the
window, even though there wasn't any wind coming though and the sun was behind
the trees giving a nice orange glow.

I went back to reading my book after I turned the lamp on.  I went back to my fantasy
of being a hunter that followed the same path as the book. So deep was I in my
fantasy that I hardly felt the other chill that came. I brushed the back of my neck where
the chill was and cut my finger on the silky paper of my book.  Cursing profusely, I
quickly got a bandage, and swore even more when I sat back down and noticed I had
gotten some blood on the book.  I sighed and turned off the lamp and went upstairs
heart broken to have a wonderful book blemished with blood.

I laid down in my dark room silently, listening to the pure silence that had an unnatural
feel to it since my sisters were still up. A few seconds later, out of the corner of my eye
I noticed a little shadow moved.  It was too large to be my dog and too quick to be one
of my cats. I look over at that some spot for about 5 minutes and nothing happened,
so I turned on my back and stood still, somewhat freaked out because of it.  Calming
down, I lost interest. I then had the strangest sensation of dread I have ever felt, and
out of the corner of my eye I say a figure with a red orb sticking out for its head, faintly
glowing a crimson hue. I screamed and bolted down stairs.

My parents wondered what was wrong. I told them I just had a nightmare. They walked
away laughing at the childishness of it and went to bed. I felt like the world was
crashing upon me and I could do nothing about it.

So I wrote this to Inform people that the tails doll can still find you even if you never
have played the game...
____________________________________________________________________
This tale of woe comes to use from "The Forgotten One."  He reminds us that the only
way to avoid the Doll's wrath, is to never be happy.

My life was great -- I had every next generation system, my friends were green with
envy, and I lived in a $900,000 house.  Now I am in a public library on a field trip from
the orphanage!

Ok, I’m getting ahead of myself.  It all started when I found this website after I heard
about the Tails Doll on YouTube. I read all kinds of stories from here, old ones, new
ones all that stuff.  I thought it was all a load of BS. As others have done, I tried out
the curse, both of the triggers. I beat Sonic R 100% and did a tag team race with SS
and TD (with the help of my sister). Nothing happened. I played the music in my
bathroom with all of my lights off (my bathroom has . . . had many mirrors). Nothing
happened. I felt good about myself right about then, I had disproven the curse!

Or so I thought . . .

I went to bed the night I did the music trigger, for it was a school night -- Sunday
actually -- and my sister doesn’t have school on Mondays so she stayed up. I awoke
in the middle of the night and I realized I left my TV on, so I got up to turn it off. When I
did so, I felt a chill crawl down my spine as a hand griped my shoulder. I jumped
forward and turned around.  It was my sister playing a prank on me. “Ha-ha, I gotcha
little bro!” “Ah, I thought you were . . . never mind," I muttered, "How did you make me
get that weird feeling?” “What weird feeling, all I did was-” those were the last words I
heard from my big sister before her soulless body fell to the ground. “One down, three
to go,” a sinister voice that some of us may be familiar with grumbled. The Tails Doll
emerged from the shadows and tried to get me but I sped out of my room and through
my house and onto the street. I waited for something to happen when I felt a grip on
my shoulder again and I heard. “Can You Feel the Sunshine?” Everything went black
after that and I sat up in my bed with the sunshine (the good kind) beating down on
my face. Was it all a dream? If it was, then why would you be reading this?  I got ready
for school and went to ask my dad to bring me.  I looked in my sister’s room to be
sure, and I saw her body under the covers in the bed and was relieved.

My dad took me to school and I took my instrument to the band room (I played
trombone) and everything was silent. No one was in the halls; it was deathly quiet
except I could hear the words to “Can You Feel the Sunshine” echoing through the
halls.  I panicked as I realized that the body in my sister’s bed was probably her
corpse, and the Tails Doll was coming for me. I ran into the band room, but it was pitch
black. The door opened and I saw his red crystal float in. I could finally make out his
silhouette, but he was right in my face.  I couldn’t feel anything -- absolutely nothing.
But yet, I saw his crystal still, and then it vanished. I got up and limped to the hallway.  
I was trembling and I was as pale as a ghost.  I think most of my soul was sucked out,
but not all of it somehow. I collapsed onto the floor and a teacher asked if I was OK.  I
couldn’t answer, so she asked me my phone number, but I still couldn’t answer. She
asked me my address and I finally got the strength to tell her.

The principal took me there and my mom answered the door, and the principal
explained what happened -- from her perspective, at least -- and my mom said that
she had never had any children. I yelled, “It’s me, your son, Luke!”   She looked
puzzled at my name and said  “Luke? We got this letter for a "Luke" by accident.  It
was delivered this morning.” I ripped open the letter and it said,

“Greetings, Luke
You have been spared, or have you? How will you live with no parents or family
whatsoever? No riches or anything and I can crush what’s left of your soul anytime I
want. Beware, if you ever get riches or family that loves you, you're miserable life will
be over.   It is a pleasure making you suffer for all of your days.

Your executioner,
The Tails Doll”

I now live in an orphanage as said before, and I will forever keep that letter to remind
myself never to be happy again. BEWARE, EVERYONE, THE TAILS DOLL CURSE IS
REAL.

Woah.  I just got a another letter from one of the Doll's victims.  This one comes from
"CMARASH," or as he is know known, "TailsDollSlaveSai-chan."

I tried the "Tag 4 characters" curse and it didn't work  I tried my master's demand to
beat Radiant Emerald using only him, and Super Sonic KICKED MY VIRGIN BUTT!!!
Now I'm currently being forced to write propaganda to Q&B.com.  What my master
doesn't know, is that I'm writing this to you:

DON'T PLAY AS THE TD ON TAG 4 CHARACTERS, OR YOU WILL BE HIS SLAVE!!!

I just hope he doesn't find me disobeying hi

*YOU FOOLISH MORTALS, YOUR "CMARASH" IS DEAD!!! AND YOU'RE NEXT!!
Don't play Sonic R, the TimeStones won't work!!*

By

I go by many names, but only one matters now: TailsDollSlaveSai-chan

I was going through the archives in my inbox when I came across this letter from good
ol' Kingburrito.  He has some info on the doll, and on second glance, not long to live...

This is keyburrito again...look, theres no time!  I've just found some important info on
the you-know-who!  First of all, about the plot on the Seven Purest Souls...he plans on
a form of world domination.  I don't know what it is he's planning, but...okay, I'm off-
subject a bit.  Here is the most urgent info:

1. Tails Doll is a demi-god.  He gains power through souls.  You might already know
this.

2. THIS IS IMPORTANT!  IF YOU ARE GIVEN A CHOICE ON BEING KILLED OR BEING
A SLAVE, CHOOSE THE FORMER!!!  It's hard to explain, but...they're both means to
the same end.  You are NOT prolonging your life!  NO MATTER WHAT, HE KILLS
YOU, UNLESS YOU ARE A PUREST SOUL!  Worse, choosing to be a slave gives you
purgatory: unconscious death.  It's the worst possible way to die!

3. ALL PUREST SOULS WILL BE DESTROYED!! Purest souls must do all they can to
get out of their prison!  If any of you have the guts, kill yourself.  That way, Tail's Doll
cannot rule the world until your soul reincarnates.

4. If Tails Doll offers to be your friend, REFUSE!! This is a strategy he uses in order to
fool people.  In the end, YOU WILL DIE!

5. Info can be gained by hex dumping Sonic R for the pc or
satkipzxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxmjnmfaaaaaaaaaaaaaaad

Guess who.  It's your favorite game character, Tails Doll.  Yes, world domination is in
the works.  There.  It's out.  It's not like you can do anything about it, mortals!  Alert
the authorities, I don't care!  I'm just a stupid video game character! BWAHA!
Oh, and don't worry about, Miles here.  I'm just using him as a vessel in order to type.  
It's difficult when you have no fingers.  No, I'll keep him alive for now...I'm going to
need him, bwaha!

I know where you live,  I'm going to get you.  You  just keep playing Sonic R, and you
will feel the sunshine. jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj bhir urn.  

A message from the tails doll?  Uh oh.  Look, I think I'm in one of the Purest Souls
replica rooms.  I'm going to try my best to break out of here, but it'll be hard.  Root for
me...

Silva sends us not one story, but two.  Looks like the Doll was biding his time with him.  
I wonder what the third time will hold?

Months ago, me and my friend Sky were surfing the net.  We discovered your website.
Personally, I thought these stories were just fan-made as a weird joke, to scare
people!  

How wrong I was, though.....

I have personally encountered the doll twice in my life.  It all started after I began  
reading the stories. I'll tell you both my stories,

It all started several weeks ago. My parents and family had gone away.  They'd been
gone for hours. Then I heard a crashing sound coming from downstairs.  My dog
started yelping as well! Naturally I was pretty scared and the doll was the first thing
that came into my mind. I grabbed my phone and switched on the recorder. I slowly
went downstairs and crept along my house. Then I heard something! I turned to my
left and saw my living room. I looked in. Nothing was there. Then I did a 180 turn and
saw something! I stood frozen as I glanced an orange blur.  I pelted it back to my
room. I slammed the door and checked my phone, then I gasped- THE ORANGE
BLUR appear on my computer screen.  Then "Can You Feel The Sunshine" Opened
up and started playing all by itself.

I didn't leave my room for the next few hours, and when my family came back. They
said I was making the whole thing up! I guess they'll never understand.

My second story is a lot more recent.

Me and my friend Sky had both encountered the beast before so we were naturally
alarmed. My other friend -- TheTriforceFighter -- had just learnt about this curse and
laughed in the face of it. I wouldn't be surprised if the doll came to him next.

But anyway, the second encounter......

I'd just got in.  It was a winter evening and getting quite late.   It was pitch black
outside, when it happened -- the power blew! Technicians came out, but were working
outside. I was pretty scared. No power, and four candles to light the entire house. So
we kept them all downstairs, and nobody went upstairs. I soon got pretty bored, so I
ran upstairs, two steps at a time, but when I got to the top, I stopped. Right in front of
me, I saw a glowing red light. I slowed down and took a step forward.  I was on the
second to top step, but didn't know! I tripped on it and fell forward!  I crawled
backwards and then stopped frozen with fear. I knew it was moving around, taunting
me. Then I felt my energy slipping away. I was getting weaker and weaker. Then I just
fell down.  I don't remember anything after that until I woke up on my bed, in my jeans
and Sonic shirt, with my red Sonic wristband. I think it was my shirt and wristband that
saved me, and otherwise i probably wouldn't be here today!

These are both 100% TRUE and are did happen. I'm not one of those people who
post "Fan Fiction" and stories that aren't true!

John Doe teaches us a lesson that Shadow the Hedgehog would be proud of -- Guns
solve everything.  Or do they?

My name is unwise to post, and so I shall tell you that you may call me John Doe. I
have recently obtained a copy of Sonic R and have decided to try out the Tails Doll
thing to see if it was true, and sadly it was. The first time I played as him, my computer
started doing odd things; files I had deleted began popping up, and odd music began
pumping through the speakers, which I believe may have been "Sheep May Safely
Graze", except the only sound making the music was the word sunshine.

I cut the power to the computer, and everything froze for a moment, before a red
picture appeared on the screen. I don't know what it was. Needless to say, I was
scared, so I went and collected my .45 1911-A1 handgun. I kept it with me all that day,
and tucked it under my pillow at night when I went to bed. Before that, though, i had
taken a glass of water and made the mistake of leaving for a moment to tend to
closing the door. When I returned, I noticed the water looked a little cloudy, but it
wasn't enough to where I could be sure. Still, i drank it, and I believe it was some type
of sleeping drug.

While I was sleeping, I could feel a numbness in my arm, something that kept recurring
through my dreams. For some reason i was forced awake and nearly s*** myself when
I looked upon the Tails Doll, holding a bloody knife. For a second, we stared at one
another, his mangy orange fur emitting the noxious smell of matted blood and decay,
his eyes shining glassily. He raised his blade and I moved my arm forward to parry,
realizing it was covered in cuts at the same time. I caught him in the hand, and was
able to pull the handgun out from under my pillow. I tried pistol whipping him so that I
wouldn't fire a round and have it accidentally pass through a wall and kill one of my
family, but was unable to. He moved in and stabbed my thigh, but while he was pulling
the knife out, I caught him in the throat and squeezed , dislodging the knife. I ran
outside, ignoring the pain as best I could, and raised the gun to his head, firing twice
into it, then throwing him on the ground and firing three more times into his body.  Two
hit his torso, but one blew off an arm. The thing BLED. I could tell that inside was only
cotton, but it somehow bled... It picked up its arm and started dragging itself away. At
this point I couldn't take it anymore and I blacked out. After that, I'm told my sister
found me, and took me to the hospital. Of course, I told them it was only a home
invasion.  I don't want to end up in the loony bin.

I'm sure I haven't killed it, so I am sorry to anyone else who encounters it. I hope you
can forgive me.

However, if there is a way to kill it, please tell me, so I can better protect myself. It's
been a month now, but I'm still worried...

C.L. is a witch, but are her protective spells enough to protect her from the Tails Doll?

Call me C. L. That name works as well as any. I'm probably taking a risk sending this,
more than you can know. I'll start at the beginning and maybe then things will make
sense. Maybe. This is a pretty long story. Sorry 'bout that.

It all started last year with an acquaintance from my forum. He was being stalked by
the demon. He posted a thread asking for help and included a link to your site so
people would know what he was talking about. I, being the kind-hearted person that I
am, decided to click on the link and find out about it so I could help him. What a fool I
was! But it wasn't as foolish as what I did later. But I'm getting ahead of myself. I went
to your site and read the stories, and instantly became damned. I began wondering
what the songs "Can you feel the Sunshine?" and "Living in the City" sounded like. I
searched for the songs and eventually found and downloaded them. I began
wondering what the game Sonic R was like. Eventually I managed to put this out of my
head, but it was still there lurking within the recesses of my mind.

In January of this year my boyfriend who lives in another state offered to get me a gift.
I thought for a second, and then suddenly it came to me, almost as if from somewhere
outside of me, to ask for a Tails plushie. He got me the plushie and sent it to me. I,
having some sense, decided to purify and protect it with spells when it arrived (I'm a
witch). I don't think I managed to cast the spells in time. But I'm getting ahead of myself
again.

So I had the plushie and nothing happened. Then in February my Mom and I went to
look at a house. We stopped at a Gamestop before we went home, and it was there
that I saw it: a copy of Sonic Gems Collection. I was stupefied.  Not only that I had
found a pre-owned copy, but that the copy looked pristine. There was no sign of wear
or age on that seven year-old game. Not on the disk, not on the box, not even on the
instruction manual. I couldn't stop myself. I bought the game. Took it home. And yes, I
immediately started playing Sonic R.

I didn't believe in the curse anymore. At least I didn't think I believed it. I still
maintained my protective spells around my room to prevent anything evil from getting
in. But I had been doing that for a couple of years (Long story).

The Tails Doll was the first character I unlocked after I beat the game. But I have a
certain ineptitude and limited patience when it comes to Sonic games because of said
ineptitude. I never managed to unlock all the characters. I couldn't get Mecha
Knuckles. I tried playing Tag-4-characters (And you should know that I felt like
someone ELSE was urging me to complete the game 100% and play Tag-4)but I
couldn't finish the round. I had decided to play as the demon, and the three other
unlockables, plus Knuckles were the "prey". I managed to tag everyone but Metal
Sonic. Whenever I went for him, I could never catch him. And he never was where the
map said he should be. I even saw him running OUTSIDE the area. The area in
question being Radical City. When I saw that I freaked a little and quit the game.

I didn't play the game again. Two nights later I had an awful nightmare in which the
Tails Doll called me on the phone. I even SAW him in my dream. When I woke up the
next morning I erased all my data for Sonic R and Sonic Gems. I even went and sold
my copy of the game at the pawn shop. I called my friend, who is also a witch, and told
her about all this. I went to her house that Sunday and brought my Tails plushie and
my Ouija board. We got out my Ouija board to try and contact one of our spiritual
contacts to ask for guidance. But it wasn't one of our contacts that answered. IT
answered before we could even call anyone. Tails Doll. My friend asked it what it
wanted. And it wanted me. My friend managed to drive him away. That's when we
decided to cast stronger spells of purification and protection on my Tails plushie. Just
in case TD tried to use it as a vessel to get me. Then we managed to get a hold of
one of our contacts to find out what to do next. We were told to get my copy of Gems
back and cleanse it completely so the demon couldn't use it anymore.

The next day I went back to the pawn shop hoping that the game was still there. And it
was. I guess people sensed that there was something not right about it and just
ignored it. I purchased it once again. The following Saturday my friend and I got
together and held the ceremony to banish, seal, and purify the game. We did it. I had
brought my Ouija board with me again and we asked our contacts if we succeeded.
We were told we had not. The demon had managed to escape, but I now own a safe
copy of Gems. Tails Doll can't go back to my copy again.

I'm safe....for now. But this all started because of your site. You don't need to play
Sonic R to become a target. You just need to hear about the curse. Once you learn of
it, he'll find you.

Dagdress 4 sends us a story SO TRUE, it'll make you say "WTF."

This story is true.
After I was done reading these stories in the morning like I do every morning, I played
my Shadow the Hedgehog game for the Gamecube, when right then the game froze.

I'm like "WTF."

So I pulled out my Gameboy and found out that some data was erased. I'm only one
who plays it.  So I did a new game and it froze in the middle of it too.

I'm like "WTF."

I wonder if the TD is after me from this site. I may check back later.

Zeph returns.  Here he tells the tale of his best friend, and the longest game of
baseball ever...

Hello again, It's me Zeph.
The Tails Doll sent me out on another heartless mission. Here's how it went.

Monday, the Tails Doll called me its hideout. It told me I was to kill my best friend
Justin. I told the Tails Doll I couldn't do such an awful thing. But its response was not a
positive one. The doll looked over at another one of it servants, the red jewel started
to glow, and in a split second the doll devoured it own servant's soul. It said "THAT is
EXACTLY what I will do to you if you do not do as I command you to do. Understand?"
I was quivering in fear, so I went out of its hideout and went out in search for my friend.

I went out to do this heartless deed, so I took my time doing it.

When I went to his house he was very happy to see me. I was surprised to see this.
Little did he know I was about to kill him. I was very very sad to see him be so nice to
me. So I decided to hang out at his house before killing him.

He said that he still had that Sonic R game and wondered if I wanted to go play it on
the old Saturn in the attic. I didn't want to arouse suspicion so I did.

As we played I chose to race as the Tails Doll. NOT a good choice. As I played the
game I thought I would go insane. Every move the Tails Doll made seemed like it was
telling me to kill Justin. I couldn't just yet. So I changed the subject and asked if he
wanted to go out to the baseball field and go practice. He agreed so we packed all our
mitts & bats.

I saw a few other of my friends and we all decided to play a game or two. Both teams
had a draw so we kept it at that.

It was getting late about 9:30.  I decided I should get it over with.  Justin always took a
shortcut to get home, and how lucky it was that his shortcut was through an ally.

When he got there I made his death quick and painless.

All of the sudden the Tails Doll appeared out of the darkness. It said "It's a shame...I
thought you would disobey my command so I could eat BOTH your pathetic souls" And
so he ate Justin's soul in the blink of an eye. "You're dismissed," said the Tails Doll.

I disappeared in the shadows with guilt, and went back to HQ.  
____________________________________________________________________
Last week, Pinkyoshi5 told us that the doll is toying with her...

PinkYoshi5 again. I thought I'd give you an update. Things have gone from bad to
worse. Dad is still babbling nonsense and it seems that the Doll is going after me in
earnest.

I still have horrible nightmares. This time, some of them show my loved ones being
violently killed. The killer is either the Tails Doll or myself.  I'm also now waking up with
fresh bruises.  And it's not the mattress that's causing it -- it's one of those special
mattresses that don't have springs and don't get all lumpy. I think the TD is beating
me in my sleep for not submitting.

You see, one night as I was brushing my teeth, I actually saw him!!! He was standing -
or rather floating - in the blackness of the hallway. But when I turned my head, he was
gone. The next day I had the sudden urge to create fan works with him in it. I feel he
wants me to make him appear innocent and harmless in the pictures and stories.
Worst of all, he wants me to make a Tails Doll plushie. And as always, he urges me to
play Sonic R and play as him.

I refused the urges and that's when the punishment started. I'm bruised and the song
"Can you feel the Sunshine?" keeps going through my head. And I haven't listened to
that song in weeks! I have a theory as to why he wants me to make those fan works
and plushie. I think he wants as many routes into our world as possible, and if there
are enough images and other stuff of himself here, than he won't need people to play
the game.

I hope I don't get punished for this.

Aru's back, everyone.  She has yet to meet the doll, but she knows it's coming...

Aru here again, since my first story, things have changed.

My friend Rebecca was sick and not kidnapped by Tails Doll, thank god.  But she still
receives phone calls with nothing but eerie breathing. Since then, my friends find it
funny to call me and say “Can You Feel the Sunshine?” with a low voice.  I don’t find it
funny; Tails Doll is serious to me.  

I never took my Tails plushie out of the closet, out of fear.  I always kept that door
close, except for once when I was cleaning it out for a bin to use.  

I tried everything to see Tails Doll, doing everything except the bathroom curse.  You
know -- go in the bathroom, lights off, door lock, and play “Livin’ in the City” out loud.  I
never want to try it.  I’m terrified of the dark.  Perhaps when my friends and I have a
big sleep over again, I can do it with them?  Some of them aren’t afraid to stare that
doll in the face.  Perhaps they aren't afraid of the doll devouring their souls?

What’s worse, I played Tag 4 Characters with Tails Doll while listening to Can You
Feel the Sunshine backwards.  I guess I love taking chances.

I recently bought Sonic Gems Collection on eBay.  Why? It had some games I wanted
to try, like Sonic the Fighters, Tails’ Adventure, and Tails’ Skypartol.  I knew Sonic R
was on it.  I knew very well it was on that game.  I heard that the game had a seal for
Tails doll, but I tried everything on that game.  Nothing happened.  What a bummer,
eh?

Whenever I bring up Tails Doll at school, my friends always ask the weirdest
questions, like  “Why does Tails Doll eat livers?”  I’m not sure myself, but I’d like to
know why.  Why our liver? Seriously, it’s kinda silly.  But I’m not getting to the point, am
I?

It was a couple days ago, when I'd finally beaten Sonic R on Sonic Gems.  I was
excited -- I read that Tails Doll won’t come if you unlocked Metal Sonic and he was in
the same race, since he was afraid to pass him.  But why would the almighty Tails Doll
be afraid of a machine that is based after Sonic?  He feeds off of Super Sonic,
anyways.  That night I saw him in my dream, just for a split second, but enough to
recognize him.  I woke up, with my cat sleeping soundly next to my bed.  I hoped that
doll would never come into my sleep again.

I was wrong.  Terribly wrong.

It was just last night when he came back -- this time chasing me throughout my house
saying things, such as "Buuut Aru! Your soul smells delicious!" and "I thoought you'd
do annything for me...".  I wonder why he called me Aru, which is my online name and
not my real name.  My mind knew Tails Doll can kill you just like how Freddy does.  He
can twist your dreams into nightmares.

My mind knew I adored Tails Doll. He is so cute and fluffy!  But it also knew that he
was pure evil on the inside, and had a craving for my soul.  So what did I say to that
doll?

“But Master!  I love you”

I think that doll did take my soul without me realizing it.  I obey everything he tells me in
my sleep.  Even worse, I tell people I despise that I hope my master kills them.  My
friends and I love saying “Can You Feel the Sunshine?” just to creep others out.  My
friends say that the Tails Doll might’ve possessed me once or twice, but I can’t recall
clearly.

Even creepier, after I woke up from last night’s dream.  The closet door was open, and
next to me lying in my cat’s bed was none other than my Tails plushie.

Freaky, don’t you agree?  I think that plushie has a mind of its own.  When the Tails
Doll made that note saying he was watching me, I think he meant it…I’m an easy
target for that doll…I know he’s out there.

Sometimes I see a red light, far away in my back yard,  and I swear its getting closer to
me every night.

I fear for my friends and my own safety.  How can I make it see that I care about it?  
I've been loyal to him for so long.  He thinks he can overpower me?  Turn me into a
mindless slave to do his dirty business for him?

Perhaps he hasn’t come yet, since I play Sonic Underground music every night.  It
comforts me, but soon he’ll get past that.

But wait, Tails Doll, just you wait.  I’ll show you who the real top dog on this planet is.

I can feel the sunshine, Tails Doll.  Can you?

Kron comes to us from Club Rouge with her story of friend who split...

The Tails Doll Curse... wow... I can tell you, that curses were something I've always
believed in. Let sleeping dogs lie or in this case, let what you don't know stay
unknown. Me? I'm Kron. Kron the Chronicler off of your forums. This is a story about
me and my friend, Circe, who dabbled a bit too far into the unknown.

I've always was a good kid.  I mean, I kept my grades up and never got into BIG
trouble -- you know the kind. I never tended to stir up trouble, and I only fought when
someone else started it... or I knew I was right. So when my best friend Circe started to
get into the Goth/emo crowd, I was okay with it. Mostly, they're nice people, they just
have issues. But when Circe started to get into the Satanic stuff, I knew something
was wrong. Circe wasn't that kind of person. Sure, she had a bad childhood, but I
never knew her to be like that.

One day I went over to her house. We sat down, and did our homework. Then she
asked me, "Ever heard of the Tails Doll?" Actually, I had heard of the Tails Doll. I am a
big fan of all things Sonic, and especially Tails so, why wouldn't I?

"Of Course! How dare you ask me such a stupid question!" I said partially sarcastic.
"How much do you know?"
"Well... He's a character on Sonic R and he's basically the robot clone of Tails."
"Well, thats what Sega wants you to think."
"Huh?"
"There's more!" Circe said sitting on her bed and pulling out a book. She handed it to
me and I read it. It was all from your website.
"Is... Is this real?" I asked.. it all seemed a bit much for me...
"Yeah!"
"Have you seen him?" Circe became quiet and an evil grin came over her face. She
looked up at me and said, "That's what I need you for."
"No, Circe. I told you I'm not taking place in any Voodoo witchcraft that might backfire."
"It won't backfire," She sounded angry, "I promise."
"I'm sorry Circe, I told you NO," I turned to leave and she grabbed my arm. I turned
around and looked at her. Her face was full of anger but quickly softened, "Come on
Kron. I promise, if anything bad happens, I'll take blame for all of it."
"Fine," I said. "Just, fine."

So we played Sonic R and tagged four characters. Circe played as the Tails Doll and I
played as Super Sonic. She quickly tagged all the robotic characters until it was just
her and me. I eluded her, we laughed, and for a while, it seemed normal. But I slipped
up on a corner and she got me. I almost forgot the importance of our game so I
laughed when I lost saying, "When it's slow and bad turning against the fast and bad
turning, I guess it's the slower one that has the advantage!"

She laughed to, until the TV turned black and the Wii froze.

"What's happening?" I asked, looking around, scared. Circe's head tilted back and her
jaws split open. I gasped and out of her mouth came the Tails Doll.
I can't really remember quite well after that. If I screamed, I don't remember. I do
remember backing up in a corner and the Tails Doll speaking to me in his hideous
voice. He said to me, "You are lucky. The friendship this girl had for you will save
you... For now."

The next thing I remember is sitting in the hospital with doctors all around me. My
parents were outside the room, talking to an official. The TV was on and it was turned
to the news channel. On it was Circe's house and I could see police cars all around it.
The newscaster said "this was the scene earlier today. A murder was in the small town
of Westminster as a girl and her parents were found dead in their home, along with
the horror stricken friend of the girl. The neighbor called the police after hearing her
scream." I saw a clip of the medics wheeling three black bags out of her house
followed closely by me. My face was white and my eyes black. I couldn't think. I
couldn't breath. I got up out of my hospital bed and walked out the door and to my
parents. They looked at me and they tried to put me back in the bed, but I ran.

I've been running ever since. I've been too scared to stop. To afraid of the Doll that
killed my friend and haunts my dreams will do the same to me that he did to her.

Yoshi is a jolly green dinosaur.  PinkYoshi5 is the writer of our next tale...

I'm referred to as Pinkyoshi5 around a gaming site dedicated to Yoshi. There's where I
found out about this site. I love the stories but they scare me at the same time. But it's
better to read them and know then to be ignorant of my danger.

I own a copy of Sonic Gems. I've beaten Sonic R at 100% not once but twice, and I've
tagged Super Sonic many times. The Tails Doll  hasn't shown himself yet, but I know
it's only a matter of time. So far he seems to be toying with me. I think I can sense his
presence, but I haven't actually seen him yet. At least not in the waking world.

That one person seems to be right. TD has somehow gained the ability to go into
dreams and turn them into nightmares. I'd rather not talk about my dreams, you can
guess what they're like anyway; filled with blood and anguished screams of uncounted
victims, all in a dark ungodly setting.

Currently the doll seems to be trying to make my life a living hell. He seems to be
targeting my family. My Dad has gone insane. He keeps babbling about things that
make no sense...at least not to my Mom. Some of what he says seems to reference
HIM, Tails Doll. I know it's only a matter of time before he goes after Mom, then me.

Isn't there anyway to stop him????
____________________________________________________________________
Shadowater sounds like he's toying with forces he doesn't understand...

I have a tale of horror for you to add to your site... And it truly happened. I just keep
telling myself that it was in my head, but still...

Once, I made a character addition to a fan game called Sonic Robo Blast 2. The
character? Tails Doll. The night I completed him, I heard strange sounds while in bed.
Scraping. Scratching. Metallic screeching. I was scared out of my mind, thinking I freed
Tails Doll. I then starting praying. The noises stopped.

I have no clue if praying saved me, or if he decided to spare me for helping to free
him. But, whatever it was, I was lucky. And yet, I still have the odd urge to make a real
life tails doll...

I wonder if, upon completion, Master Tails Doll will be pleased?

Here's an update I recently received from the same chap...

You know, the prospect of working for him is seeming more and more... How shall I put
it... Pleasant...

I haven't even seen him yet, although I have heard him and felt his presence.

You want to survive? It is quite simple:

Do not resist. You will be glad you didn't

(Note: May be too late for me, but not for you, readers of this site. The above was to
please him. I think he is still around, hopefully not attentive. My suggestion? Well, I
believe in multiple dimensions, and that each idea is a dimension itself. These tales
just add to his power. There is a way to counter this. Believe in a way to defeat him. It
will come. And damn, sharp pains in my body... He must be reading this. Sending
before he gets me...)
____________________________________________________________________
Get ready to shriek, because this tale comes from Shiek...

I never headed curses. I always thought they were BS. I always was confident.

I am not anymore.

I just go the Sonic Gems for my GC and was excited to play some older fav games. I
invited my friend Kris over for a sleepover and we played for hours on end. He got
bored and got on my computer to play Maple Story. I decided to try Sonic R even
though I knew the rumors. I was careless. I did the curse.

Nothing.

My friend Kris did it.

The power in my room went out. When we turned the game on again, the Tails Doll
was gone. We decided to go to the park 'cuz we were freaked. We went there and
found a carving. It said 'The Tails Doll is here.'  

We both ran home just to find my parents killed and the Tails Doll there. We both
dodged its first lunge --  then I grabbed its tails and smacked it against the wall. It
pulled out a knife and threw it at Kris. He died and the doll disappeared. I was left
alone. The floor stained with blood, I couldn't bring myself to look anymore. I ran out to
find myself in a pool of light, and then fainted. I woke up in a palace. I found that it is
the tails doll's castle. I got out, but almost lost my sanity in the process.

He is real.  You are next.

Can you feel the sunshine?

This true tale of torture comes complements of "Black Shadow."  You just can't make
stuff like this up...

One Sunday I was playing my Gems collection with Sonic R on it. I decided to try out
this curse, but instead of getting Tails Doll to tag Super Sonic, I tried to see what
happened if I had Super Sonic tag Tails Doll.

I had Tails doll tagged first. Then Metal Sonic, then Tails, then Knuckles. I finished in a
minute and a half, and I decided to turn my Wii off.  After looking at your site a few
minutes, my uncle wanted to play a shooting game with me. I turned on my Wii, and it
went to the title screen. I pressed A.

Nothing.

I took the other controller and pressed A.

Nothing.

I checked the batteries for the remotes. They were full.  Apparently the Tails Doll was
mad that I didn't save my file. (My mistake. Oops!)

That night, I made a Tails Doll defense kit. Made with my catcher's mitt, a baseball, my
DS, Sonic Rush, an airgun, a mini Nerf gun, and a volt meter. I tried to fall asleep.

Apparently the Tails Doll sucked out the memory of my DS and Sonic Rush at the
time, because when I fell asleep, I went into what I call a "dream coma". I felt the time
pass by, but I was having a nightmare of Tails doll torturing me. I could not open my
eyes, for Tails doll was holding them shut. I also could not get these two songs out of
my head: Can you feel the sunshine (the creepy ACID mix) and Living in the city. I
woke up at 11 that night with a cold.

The next day I was fine, though...

Choice Bits sends us this fascinating treatise on the Doll.  He thinks we're all going to
die, and you'll never guess who's responsible...

I know this will sound crazy, but this is the truth.

What Makes Mankind's Capacity for Evil?  It's our minds.  Humans think and imagine,
but we never realise what are our capacities for those either.  The Tails Doll is a
creation of the human mind and it was mankind's capacity for evil that made it like us.

Originally, it was just a thought that it had no purpose -- just tossed around by foolish
creators, but the thoughts of man -- the possibilities they saw for the odd little
creature, fed it, made it stronger.

From an abstract concept, the Tails Doll took shape, feeding, reaching into the mind
of humanity, the mind of the foolishness tinkerers making the "cursed" game.

This wasn't enough for the Tails Doll.

It would reach deeper into the minds of the masses that played its game.  The people
that saw it thought this creature was just a cheap Doll in a game, but still questions
hung in the air.

A blister of reality that is the Tails Doll...

At first, just an odd-looking creature within mankind's mind, it grew on thoughts of the
masses 'till a darker page was turned.

The Curse of the Tails Doll.

Once again, just a thought -- a growth in mankind's capacity for evil.  It changed this
creature into a beast.  It fed on thoughts.  What people believed, it was, and soon-fed
off the fears of those who believed in the Curse it kept.

Still the Tails Doll lingered in the back of our minds and grew more.  Eventually our
foolish minds that hid away such evil and such ideas bridged the worlds for the Tails
Doll.

They made it solid... Made it real...

Like Angels and Demons.  All came forth from humanity.  All made real by humanity.

It wasn't real 'till you made it real.  It feds off your fear and your silly obsession and
fandom.  It won't stop!  It keeps growing...

You made it real!

NO ONE CAN END IT UNTIL YOU ALL KNOW THE TRUTH!!

It might come for me one day, but I know the truth.  I can fight back...

Hopefully now you can too.

This came from MaryCateM.  Note I say "CAME."  

Ah , the Tails Doll.  Let's see...

It was 2005, and I loved Sonic R.  I had just gotten it the previous day and only got to
play for about 45 minutes.  The next morning I got up and ran down to the computer
room to start up Sonic R. (Please note: I had no idea who the Tails Doll was.)

The screen went blank. I turned it off and on again and was relived to hear the
opening tune to that accursed game. I clicked on "grand prix" and waited and waited --
and waited. To my surprise, a bloody picture flashed across the screen of the Tails
Doll holding the body of a certain 2-tailed fox.

I franticly clicked and finally got to the character select screen.  Much to my surprise,
all of the characters were the Tails Doll. I clicked on one of the dolls and I blacked out.
When I woke up I was in my bed with 3 knives in my arm.  I screamed, woke up again,
and was sitting in front of the computer with the Tails Doll on screen laughing. All of a
sudden he came out of the screen and passed through my body.  I was never was the
same again. But, everyone I saw from there on in had those same soulless eyes
and/or glared at me like I was a lethal virus.

The next year, I went into my closet.  From a crack in the wall, out squeezed that
cursed fox and screamed "You will see me again. And when you do, I will have a knife
and my mouth ready to eat your soul and drink your blood!" But I never did see him
agai nregfv**** I'll continue for the useless carcass! He was a fool and will suffer from
here on in I guarantee it!  
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

-The Tails Doll

You're next, Mortal Reader!!!

This isn't much to look at, but ODog6227's tale positively oozes the desperation of
one of the TD's future victims...

Please help me, a friend of mine has just got SONIC R off of Ebay and I'm worried for
him, its for the computer and he has already beaten it... AND HAS FOOLISHLY
summoned him. He PURPOSLY TRIED TO call him, to try and prove it wasn't real, but
strange stuff has already happened,we were playing the Wii and I beat him in the
game he's best at. I usually come in last! This time HE came in last. And lately, I've
have been seeing the color red a lot. I'm worried. SOMEBODY HELP
ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sorry for spell errors. wrote in  a hurry
____________________________________________________________________
Remember Kikari.  She's alive (for now) and giving us an update on her situation...

I'm back.  It's me Kikari. As you probably already know, The TD sent my last message.
I was in a hurry, and forgot to push send.

And last night,  My Knuckles Plush beat the heck out of the TD. I remember the flash
of Red, and I heard Knuckles' Voice yell, " GET OUT! HURRY! I'LL HOLD HIM OFF!"
And that awefull sound... Something like "SHLUHHHMPY!" And my speakers on the
Computer blaring the Can You Feel The Sunshine Theme...

I slept outside in a tree, and I DID NOT SLEEP. Every car light made me turn my head.
Every owl hoot, ANY sound... And I'm one of the few people in my neighborhood with
common sense! Trust me, After this, I'm not going NEAR my Sonic R disk. And I'm
NOT testing any more TD curse myths.

So I stayed up in that tree all night. And when I came back into my house, My
Knuckles plush was sitting on the couch, Covered in what seemed like blood, With
open cuts, and Stuffing EVERYWHERE. I ended up cutting one of my pillows, and re -
stuffing him, then sewing him back up. I still do wonder what happened to my Tails
Plush... After I beat the Sonic R...WAIT! CAN MY PLUSH HAVE TURNED INTO THE
TAILS DOLL?!...Sheesh...I think I'm over reacting again... Well, There goes the last of
my sanity...

Ok, I'm trying not to get off topic here... And trying not to make mistakes with my
spelling 'cause I'm half blind... ANYWAY, I think The Song Can You Feel The
Sunshine is trying to tell you something. Ok, The first part is just trying to trick you into
thinking it's just a song, and then it says "Just Reach out for the Sunshine, Forget
about the rain" Is trying to tell you to think about happy things and forget about the
TD, then " Just think about the good times, and you'll come back again" Is saying,
Think about happy times before you faint from the TD, and you'll live. But thats just a
guess.

Ok, I have to go sleep now. (It's daylight) Since I'm too scared to sleep at night. Hope I
didn't get too off topic.

Fred P's family and friends have been dying off.  Read on to discover why...

It was Wednesday night. I was outside in the woods near a small village, waiting for the
full moon to come out from behind the clouds. When it was finally visible, and its blue
light glowed on my flesh, I decided to go out for a walk. After quite a wile of walking, I
caught a strange smell. It smelled like blood, but there was another smell I have never
caught a whiff of before in my life.

I believe it was the smell of evil.

I fallowed it until I reached a house. All the lights were off except for one. There was a
blue glow coming from one of the top windows. I decided to have a look. I started to
climb the side of the wall thanks to his gutter. It was hard work not to fall and even
harder to go up.

I was finally up the wall. Then when I looked inside the window, I saw a friend of mine
playing mindlessly Sonic R. His name was Robert. I knocked on the window. He did not
turn to look at me. I was about to shout at him but I saw a red light under his bed. Oh
God no! My mind screamed over and over again. I had to save Robert! A part of my
mind objected, saying that if I entered the room I’d die. But I shushed the cowardly
side of my thoughts and I smashed the window open. The red light moved slightly
towards the right of my friend's bed, as if it heard me break the window.  Unlike my
friend, who was still hitting buttons trying to tag Super Sonic. “NO!” I screamed. I ran
over to him and I kicked the remote out of his hands. Then I heard something.

Shlumpy!

I slowly turned around, and then I saw him! The Tails Doll!

“What arrrre yoouuu doing?” The hideous voice asked. “Saving him from you!” I
answered.

“Reeeaaly? You think you saved him? You were too late,” The Tails doll said. I froze. I
felt no presence behind me. I turned around and the saw my friend on the ground, he
had a huge hole in his stomach, blood pumped out of the horrible wound.

“Hiss blood and soul will be delectable, but yours…” The Tails Doll paused, relishing
the thought of the taste of my tormented soul. “…Your soul filled with pain annd
misery will be…soo good! Like many, I will let you live, soo that I may torture you,
haunt you, torment you too the point were your mind will cease to work!”

His laugh was horrible! It sounded like a small child’s voice, only demonic. After that
day, many of the ones I loved died. All were found dead in the same state; Faces
white with terror, and a wound that was shaped like the head of the Tails Doll.

Sonicfanatic 4949 sends us a Gothic little tale that will chill your bones and rip them
out...

This story takes place 4 days after the release of Sonic R.  The following is very
disturbing.

I was walking down the road with my friend.  I invited them over to my place.  "Hey, I
got Sonic R.  You wanna come play it?" I asked.  He said yes, and we walked to my
house, set down our back packs, and headed to my room.

When we got there, we hooked up the Saturn, put in the game, and began to play.  
We chose Resort Island, and I chose the Tails Doll.  That's when things got...

Odd.

It was midnight -- we had been playing for a while -- but the music in the level slowed
down, and Tails Doll froze.  It was like it refused to move.

The music was then replaced by screams, and sounds of slaughter.  We tried to turn
the system off, but when we touched it, we got a shock.  I then unhooked the system,
but the din continued on.  We ran for the door, but the knob was extremely hot.  Not
knowing this, my friend tried to open it, but it burnt his hand so bad that it melded to
the door knob.

He screamed, and tore away -- the bones of his hand were now exposed.  We ran for
the window.  I opened it, but it quickly slammed shut again on my hand.  I lost my ring
and pinky finger.

The pain... Dear LORD, the horrible pain...

The light bulbs in my room exploded, now my room only lit by the television.  The
television went out, and me and my friend were cringing in pain.  We then saw a red
light.  It seemed to be hovering.  The lights went back on. It was the Tails Doll.  Its
eyes were replaced with a pitch black flames.

Me and my friend screamed.

"Such an annoying sound..." it said in a faint voice.  "I find you humans quite...
interesting... never able to work together, so morbidly obsessed with your own
wretched existence..."

Black roots came from the ground, and entered our skin.  They crawled up to our
faces, and started tightening.  We laid on the ground in agony.  The roots were
sucking the life out of us, leaving us just skin and bones.  We fell over, wenching in
pain. He -IT - was just floating there, laughing.

"Foolish humans...Do you know who I am?!  I have many forms... I can exist in
anything.  This doll creature just appealed to me..."

"Well, then, who are you?!!" I asked.

"I am everything you have ever hated... every illness you have ever feared... every
tragedy in human history...I am the future--"

It paused.

"I am the end of the world."

The room filled with satanic laughing and screaming.
____________________________________________________________________
Aru learned the hard way that a Tails Doll fandom is never a healthy thing, for you OR
your loved ones...

Argh, stupid game wouldn’t work.

I remember tapping my fingers impatiently, thus why I was mostly called Sonic by my
friends at school, since I acted so much like him.  I picked up the phone and called my
Dad.

“Hello?”

“Dad, Sonic R won’t work,” I pouted.  I was trying to play that cursed game.  I read so
many stories about the Tails Doll, and my friends say I was too into it for my own good.

“Did you check the settings?”

I nodded to myself, “yeah.”

“I’ll check it when I come home, alright?”

“Alright Dad, bye,” I took the phone away from my ear and hit end.  My eye caught the
pop up of receiving mail from my best friend, Rebecca.  Clicking on it, I saw she sent
me three e-mails.  I rolled my eyes, opening up new tabs to read them.

One of them contained a picture of the Tails Doll she drew.  I replied saying how
innocent he looked, but I knew Rebecca.

She told me earlier in school that she thought this curse was baloney.

Sending the response, I read the other two.  They were both about homework from
School, so I sent the info along with a link to one of the sites on YTMND, since
sometimes the music made me giddy.  I was listening to the creepy music of "Game
Over for Sonic."  For some reason, the music made me laugh.

I have seen videos of people trying to prove the curse, but then again, I was a sucker
for this stuff.  I was used to the sight of blood; I enjoyed the metal taste when it struck
my taste buds after I hurt myself.  Not to mention that I enjoyed gore movies.

It must have been at least around 7:45 pm when I received an e-mail from Becca.

I noticed the title was called “>: (“, so I clicked on it.

What I read made shivers go down my spine.

“You’re so stupid! If you think breathing into a phone is gonna scare
me... Well, then YOU have issues!  AND DON'T try to play innocent, like 'Who me? I
didn't do anything?' :P I have news for you! I checked he caller ID! Ha!”

I raised an eyebrow, and then typed slowly.

“What? I didn’t call you o.o”

Later that night, my dad came home and tried to see why Sonic R wouldn’t work.  
People know if you complete the game with 100%, TD would come.  I'd beaten the
game so many times, but I prevented it somehow.  Perhaps because I adored Tails
Doll with my heart, even when I was little.

I jumped when the phone rang.  It was Rebecca.

“Rebecca,” I stated, anger in my voice.  “I did NOT call you.”

“Yeah right.” She had a sarcastic tone.

I turned to my dad, and blinked.

“Caelie,” my dad said, “You had the disc in the wrong drive.”  I could tell he was
laughing at me.

“Okay, okay, dad, now go.” I shooed him out of my chair, then plopped down in it and
sighed.  “Becca, stop saying I called you!”

“That was you, Caelie, I know how you breathe.”

“But I never touched the phone since I called my dad at five,” I pointed out, thinking.  
"Wait…Rebecca?”

“What?”

“Did you hear any music?”

“Now that you mention it…yeah, I did.”

“Hang on,” I said, double-clicking on the Sonic R logo on my desktop, selecting one of
the two options.  “Do you remember the words,” I asked as I waited for the main menu
to pop up.

“Not really,” she mumbled.  I could barely hear her.

As I loaded my complete game, I cleared my throat.  “Alright, now tell me if this is the
song.”

I chose Tails Doll for a reason.  I wanted to prove to Rebecca this curse was real.

As the lyrics of "Can You Feel The Sunshine" played, I was racing against the normal
characters.  Of course, it was hard.  So I put the phone on speaker.

I stopped the game and blinked, “was that the song?”

“No.  Is there any other song in the game?”

“There’s Livin’ In The City, but check it on YouTube, okay? I wanna try something,” I
exited the race and headed to Time Attack.

I heard many people did this, and it was horrible.  Perhaps it only occurred on
Gamecube Gems Collection, but I wasn’t sure.

I clicked Tag 4 Characters.

Me? I chose the Tails Doll.

“I think it was the first song, Caelie.” She sounded confident.

“Alright, I have you on speaker phone, so keep talking to me, alright?”

“Okay,” she said, “wait, what are you doing?”

“Trying out what people have done on that sight,” I shrugged.  “I’m use the Tails Doll
in tag mode and going to tag Super Sonic.”

Maybe I was badly affected by the curse.  Was it possible to be enslaved by him
before meeting him? This thought never occurred to me.

After 6 minutes, I tagged Super Sonic.

“There, done.”

“Did anything happen?”

“No,” I said, upset.  Damn, I really wanted to meet him!

“See, I told you!”

“Who knows, Becca? My power could go out at any minute!”

“Yeah right,” she said.

“Anyways, we should work on our homework.”

“Yeah, see you tomorrow, Caelie.”

“Bye, Rebecca,” I said as I hung up the phone.

I adore the Tails Doll and all, but still I feared the curse.  I feared it badly.  Right before
I went to bed, I was staring at the Sonic X Tails Doll I owned.  Without the lights on, it
looked like it was staring at me with empty eyes.  I shook my head, stupid mind.  My
thoughts did that a lot.  Before I knew it, I was cuddling my Sonic doll and fell asleep.

When I woke up, near my Tails doll was a yellow note.

I froze in my bed.  I looked at the clock and squeaked.  It was three in the morning.

I turned the light on, reaching for my glasses so I could read the note.  I swallowed
nervously, It said:

“I’m watching you.
Can You Feel The Sunshine?”

I wanted to scream, It, was watching me.   I went to school, and I took the note with me.
I wanted to show Rebecca.

But I never saw Rebecca that day.  Nor next couple days after that.

It's as if she disappeared.

This is complements of SONICFANATIC4949.  According to him, the Tails Doll has
been known by other names as well...

As you have heard, the game Sonic R will be forever cursed.  But what about on gems
collection? Its only in a certain way.

You have to play the game at midnight, 3:00 AM or 6:00 AM.  Here is my story...


It was Christmas, and my parents had gotten me the Sonic Gems Collection.  I found
one game to be quite enjoyable --  Sonic R.

I played almost all night, until it turned 3:00 AM on my clock.  I had the tails doll
selected, but suddenly, everything but me and the tails doll turned black, and faded
away into the meaningless void in which we all suffer.  I stared at the doll.  It stared
back.  I was looking into the cold, lifeless eyes
of a creature from hell.

"W-who are you?" I asked.
"An angel..." it replied.
"W-w-whats your name?" I asked.
"Satan..." it stared at me, when out of nowhere flashes of people being splattered with
blood and screams melded into my brain...

I then woke up, panting.  I looked up at me ceiling, and there, was a black shadow in
the shape of tails right above me...

I had no time to scream.

You are probably amazed that I survived, and that I am typing this.

But whoever said I was still alive?

He told me that I will be everywhere everyone goes; every place he travels, for he is  
Satan.  I cannot be killed, for I am not of this land.  You have no defense.

I will see you soon!
