This is too funny. After the movie came out my sister got a stuffed Stitch for our 9-year old brother. he made her take it back for 2 weeks because it "hissed one night". Of course it couldn't have been either of the cats, both of which like to sleep on his bed and both of which are likely to hiss at each other.

It's amazing that he can not throw the doll away; but he thinks he can sell it. This is like a bad horror movie script, there is more holes in his story then in swiss cheese.

So what exactly happened to it? The winning bid was a scam, does he still have it? And what if EVERY winning bid ends up being a scam? Or gets the money, but can never spend it because it keeps returning to wreck his house? Will he have to keep it in a safe? He could sell the safe with all the money in it for twenty bucks, then get it all back again. Just keep selling the haunted money over and over, and make a fortune. But he could never spend it. That'd be some Twilight Zone material, there. Typing that made me dizzy.

sorry this just made me laugh. Great horror story though, i enjoyed reading it, but i doubt i'll look any of my stuffed animals in the eyes, however, i doubt the only thing more evil than this stitch is Teddy Ruxpin! *cue evil music!*

I don't think they're listed anymore, but did anyone see this guy's other auctions? Adult comic books and "Pinhead" action figures...interesting to say the least. My vote: totally fake.

That's not a hole, obviously you haven't read the whole thing. According to the story, he's not sure that selling the doll will work, but he theorizes that since the doll was passed along to him through a sale that perhaps that's the only way to get rid of it.
They've done that theme in horror stories before. Selling the item is the only way to pass on the curse because the buyer then becomes the "legitimate" owner.

As soon as I got home, I explained to my fiance what had happened, and told her I was getting rid of the toy. I grabbed it and left, and drove out to a Safeway that is a few blocks away. I tossed the thing in the dumpster there, and took off for home. Thankfully that time, it didn't come back. For 4 days. The strangest thing is that it was clean - it looked like it had never left the house.
Maybe a playful friend bought a bunch of Stich dolls and keeps putting them back in his house after he throws them away?
In the early evening on a Thursday, I let our dog outside, just as we normally do all the time. After he had been outside for about 10 minutes, I thought maybe he had found some food, or something else to eat, as he usually does. I looked outside, and saw him laying in the snow, and he wasn't moving. I ran outside, and grabbed him, and noticed the Stitch toy laying beside him. Our dog was breathing, but unconscious. I rushed him inside, and called the vet. We were able to take him to the emergency clinic, and after examining him, we were told that they could notice nothing actually wrong with him. It appeared that he had just passed out, but his blood pressure was extremely high, and he was still having problems breathing. They kept him overnight for observation, which was good, because I wanted him kept as safe as possible.
The Stich doll has the power to elevate canine blood pressure...BEWARE HIS DEMONIC WRATH!
I can dismember the item before shipping as well, if you would feel safer that way, but I can not guarantee it will arrive in this form. If you would like the toy shipped without being cut up, I will attempt to immobilize it with either duct tape, or rope, or a combination of the two. It is your choice.
Is anyone else picturing the little Stich doll in the getup they used on Hannibal Lectur in Silence of the Lambs? You know, the dolly with the strait jacket and the mask? And how could you immobilize something that can apparently teleport? Lead box? Kryptonite?
I plan on talking to a priest in the next day or so, to see if the toy can maybe be exorcised. Even if it can, and everything seems to be successful, I will still want to get rid of it, as I won't be completely comfortable until it's completely out of my life. I just want to make it as safe as possible for any potential new owners. I'll keep you posted as to any news.
Oh my God...I would SO loved to have been in that church when THAT conversation happened!
I took the toy to the church tonight, because with it moving, I couldn't wait to see father Durell. He said he would look at the toy, but not to expect much. Then, after he grabbed it, he suddenly dropped it right away. When I asked what had happened, he said he would not be able to help me, and to leave right away. He let me see his hand, and take a picture. It was very badly burned. I went out and bought a safe to put the Stitch in. I don't know how much more of this I can take.
Amnityville, anyone?
After checking www.warrens.net (VERY informative site), I have learned a few things. In it's FAQ, the site suggests not giving the spirit (doll/toy/etc) recognition, as that can make it stronger
So, if you ignore the ghost, he will go away?
The site also recommends putting a symbol of your religious faith in each room. I am not a very religious person, but I do follow mainly Christian beliefs, so I will be picking up some cruxifixes to put in each room.
Next, it suggests having a priest bless every room in the house. I will be contacting the priest I dealt with before, and hopefully he will be able to give me assistance, or recommend someone who can.
Lastly, the site recommends that you show no fear, and command it to leave, in the name of Jesus Christ. If I am confronted with an actual occurance, I will try my best to stay brave, and demand it leave.[i]
So, really the only religion that scares ghosts is Christianity. Specifically, Catholicism. Maybe this will work.
[i]In stranger news, the toy was sitting on my front step when I arrived home after work. The front door was locked, and when I took it downstairs, the safe door was undamaged, but open.
Well, assuming that he put the safe in a room with a cross (or better yet, there was a cross on the safe) I'd say that this is pretty conclusive proof that there is no God. Either that, or the Stich doll ghost is more powerful than God. Or, God is just fucking with this guy...
I also notice thta my last update didnt get put up for some reason- when I arrived home from work today our fornt door was open -it was locked but open.
Then it wasn't actually locked, dumbass.
Apparently putting the toy in the guest room did not clear everything up - while out tonight, enjoying the first night out I've been able to have without constantly worrying about the toy, I received a call to my cell phone. The number was my home phone number, and when I answered, there was a strange kind of static sound, with a child's voice saying "come home daddy" and then the line went blank.
Ok...THAT was actually kind of creepy. I mean I don't believe any of this but...if this were a movie, that would probably be the only part that would creep me out.
The update auction doesn't work, so there is no telling if the doll wound up killing him or not. I'll just do the rational thing and assume that it did.
I do have to admit, if I were a ghost, this is probably the kind of stuff I'd do to people, just to mess with them. Admit it, so would you...

Bela, your take on the haunted Stitch doll auction is HILARIOUS.
And yes, if I were a ghost I would mess with people, if only to ease the boredom of being dead. Except I wouldn't harm little doggies; that Stitch doll is mean for doing that.
This auction is such a pile of crap. Whoever bought the doll deserves to be terrorized by mean ghosts for being stupid enough to believe what was written in the auction.

I think what happened was he (the author) had a friend of his place a rediculously high bid on the item that no one would possibly match. That way, he can't be accused of defrauding anyone since the person who bought the doll would be in on the act. That, and no money changed hands anyway.
BTW...I'm a Mitch Hedberg fan too. Does the end date after his name mean that he's dead? I just confirmed it on IMDB...heart failure? He was one of the funniest men I've ever seen. God dammit...

"Winning bid: US $11,100.00" So, this proves that people who are good at writing "ghost" stories can sell worthless toys for ridiculously high amounts of money on Ebay?

Bullshit. No one would be dumb enough to pay that much for a NFBSKing doll. Either someone is going to receive negative feedback for not paying up, or whoever bought it was in on the joke.
Yep, it sucks about Mitch Hedberg. I damn near cried when I found out. Here is the where it talked about it on the amusement bark thread.

Hello: when the link doesn't work anymore - it means that eBay pulled it. [If you were following Nathan Carlson's items a couple of months ago - that happened a lot.]
It's been up for 5 days now (is listed for 10 days).
Also, if you check the original auction, you'll see that the buyer is no longer a registered user (and was from Canada).

He has a "Buy It Now" price....3 bucks. Its tempting...
People who want to find out what happened have to pay him 3 bucks. Clever bastard...
One of the other good parts from the original page were the questions and suggestions. Someone actually concluded that his MUST be a demon, because of the scratching sounds he keeps hearing in the hallway at night. Yes, ONLY a demon could be doing that. Only demons scratch things. He then suggested that the reason why the demon chose the stich doll was because it was close to it's true form. Nothing could be funnier than that...Spingko the demon wanders around the house, looking to cause mayhem on mortals because he is taunted by all the other demons for his relatively un-terrifying and somewhat gay appearance...behold, he find a stich doll that looks like him and just KNOWS that this was meant to be...
I thought about sending him the following suggestions on how to deal with this ghost (bear in mind, I do not believe in Ghosts, and even if I did I wouldn't believe this one):
"Obviously, sir, you are dealing with a playful spirit, whose goal is to literally freak you out. This kind of spirit starts with small things (re-appearing after being thrown away, moving around the house) to moderate things (making messes, breaking stuff) to full blown freak-outs (blood running up/down/across walls, hellish-disco lights at all hours of the night). The power of this spirit works because it knows that you are normal people capable of being freaked out by its powers. The best way to deal with this spirit, then, is to do things that will freak IT out. Show the spirit that it has nothing on you, and that it's wasting its time trying to spook you because you are un-spookable. Examples include the following:
--Cut a hole in the bottom of the stich doll and have sex with it. Don't worry, this may feel wrong but this isn't illegal. Continuously demand that the doll "call you daddy" or something to that effect.
--Have a house party where everyone dressed up in large bunny suits while the doll is forced to watch. Have a colored egg fight in the house, then cut a hole in the bottom of the stich doll and let the winner of the egg fight have his way with the stich doll. Note, you should probably clean the stich doll before this step.
--Force the stich doll to watch video's of Frankie Avalon movies, especially Bikini Beach.
--Use stich doll to clean toilet.
--Talk to the stich doll. A lot. Tell it about your day. Get drunk and continue talking to stich doll. Show stich doll your hernia repair surgery scar. Continue drinking, pour vodka on stich doll and use stich doll to wipe away your tears. Vomit on stich doll. Cut hole in bottom of stich doll and have sex with it (no, don't wash it first). In morning, apologize to stich doll and buy it flowers.
--Buy another stich doll. Cut hole in bottom of new stich doll and have sex with new stich doll while first stich doll is forced to watch. Then, tear new stich doll's head off in front of first stich doll and say "It ain't no thang, be-atch!"
--Find smaller stich doll and give it to bigger stich doll. Anywhere you find the first stich doll, make sure you place the second stich doll. When first stich doll tries to despose of its stich doll, replace it. When first stich doll is out of its living space, mess up living space and place it's stich doll in the middle of the mess. When first stich doll leaves the house for a night out, call first stich doll on its cell phone and say "come home daddy". Place stich doll's stich doll near phone, just to really freak it out.
I'm sure if you do all of these things, your stich doll problems will be solved. Let me know how things turn out."
So, what do you all think? Should I send him that?

Bela, I DEFINATELY think you should send him that. I know it brightened up my day.
