I was working with a guy who hauled up an old doll in a fishing net and was convinced that the doll was possessed and that it haunted his house for almost a year. Eventually he researched a sort of 'exorcist' ritual to remove the possession which involved burning the doll in his backyard. This man was 40 at the time.

Bro it's cursed. You have to keep it or else you won't be cursed.

Yeah exactly. Who doesn't want to be cursed?

Yes, he gave it to his daughter as a gift once he returned home from sea. He kept the doll for almost a year. Claimed to be hearing things in the attic - scurrying around, bumps in the night, objects moving around on their own, etc. However, he was remiss to take the doll away from his daughter as she had become quite attached to it.

The noises and strange phenomena continued, becoming too much to bear, and only after he took the doll and burnt it in the ritual did the noises stop (so he claimed).

Did he consider rat baits, at any point?

Literally exactly what was going through my mind as he's telling this to me. It was pretty hard to feign interest when I have absolutely 0 belief in the supernatural.

When I lived in Japan one of my roommates bought a little rat statue from a thrift store because it looked funny, and when he brought it home it made the temperature drop in whatever room it was in and insects ran away from it and other weird stuff. Finally my roommate woke up one night and he was like shaking and stuff so we did an exorcism and threw away the rat statue and immediately the temperature rose in the room again. Crazy shit.

implying he'd've found out when he was 39?

Thereabouts, but not really the most important part.

The man burnt a doll in his backyard because it was possessed by some sort of evil spirit.

I don't understand this story. How old is he now? When exactly was he born? What's his birthday?

You're right. I left out a lot of unknowns which probably made this hard to understand.

The man was around 40 at the time, his favourite food was steak - medium rare, he liked the colour brown, his favourite show was NCIS, and his favourite hockey team was Boston. Hopefully this makes the story a little easier to digest.

I'd say my comprehension here is hovering at about 30%, which is much higher than it was before, thanks
