This happened when I was about 5 or 6 yrs.old (I'm now 15.) I lived in Seattle, Washington at the time, and in an apartment. I swear that this is true. I remember it was late at night like about 10 or 11 p.m. and I was watching t.v. when my parents told me to go to bed. They tucked me in and were about to shut the door, but I asked them not to (since I was afraid of the dark.) After, they had also gone to bed, and it was now dark and silent in the house. I was having trouble trying to sleep, and then I suddenly thought about the blonde doll that my younger cousin gave me earlier that day (it was in the toy box in my room!) The doll had big bluish eyes and short raggedy blonde hair; she was also pretty tall like 1 or 2 feet high. She was the kind of doll when you lay her down her eyes close and you could also pull off her arms and legs and could easily put them back on. She had always creeped me out, but my mom thought that she was so cute so she decided to take it.

On with the story I was trying to sleep, so I put my head under the covers and closed my eyes (I was a little scared at that point.) Then suddenly (I'm feeling goosebumps typing this right now.) I thought I heard a little voice call my name, I slowly peeked out of my covers and saw the doll! She was hanging on the doorknob looking right at me and smiling evilly. She looked somewhat transparent. I was so frightened that I quickly hid under my blanket. Not long after that, I heard her call my name again, this time, it seemed closer, as stupid as I was, I decided to peek out again. As soon as I did, she was right in front of my face near my bed! I got so scared, that I pulled the blanket over my face and prayed that she would go away. As soon as I opened the covers, she disappeared. I jumped out of my bed, and ran as fast as I could to my mom and dad's room. My dad woke up and saw me, and he asked what was wrong. I told him exactly what happened but he thought I just had a nightmare. I knew this wasnt so because I was awake the whole time and could feel my heart pounding. So he woke up my mom and told her what had happened so they decided that I was to sleep in their room with the t.v. on.

The next day, I showed them the doll and they decided that I break off the arms and legs and bury her in our backyard, so I did with my lil sister. But the freaky part was that the next day, my sister and I went to go check on her, and she was gone! I never saw her again. Thanks for reading my story!
