So say you're Annabelle and Talky Tina..

.. has just killed your husband and now threatens you in no uncertain words even as your husband starts turning cold and blue on the floor, what do you do now? Do you let Christy keep the little killer, or try to get rid of it? My plan is below and I would hope it worked..

What say you?

I would go to the store and buy another Talky Tina, presuming of course there's only one of these on the shelves that is actually evilly sentient - otherwise this plan is garbage. This replacement doll I would clandestinely swap for the evil TT so Christy wouldn't notice anything amiss. I would then buy a small office safe, lock TT inside, and rent a boat to drop it in the ocean somewhere or bury it deep in the back yard and then pour a concrete patio over it.

Wow I had not thought of that!! Telly tried to cut it and burn the doll and it would not die, so mayb e burying it under rocks in the backyard might be the best way. I like the idea of buying a new replacement doll so poor Christie would not have any more trauma in her life.

That's a great idea and it covers the brat's emotions.

However, you would not destroy the demon in the doll. From all we know about evil spirits, they can just find a new host. I doubt the miracle of a living doll began at the toy manufacturer. The empty vessel was obviously possessed.

Nah, I would not feel secure with just burying it.

I'm not religious but I'd take the doll to a priest and have it exorcised.

Ooooh, good thought. I just assumed the doll was evil much like Christine (Steven Carpenter) was evil. The evil with Christine stayed with the car. But if Talky Tina was externally possessed and the evil could transfer, that would open up a can of crap for sure.

Interesting about the exorcism. I'm also not religious but I do have a story I'd like to share. A very good friend of mine knew a Catholic priest personally who for 20 some years did exorcisms. My friend wouldn't provide me any details and didn't answer any questions out of real fear that I could see in her eyes, but she did say this priest not only died in an accident, but died horribly...

Is your friend named Regan?

Seriously though, I don't think you can bury something like Talking Tina. Your backyard would just become haunted.

Even non-Christian peoples do exorcisms. Voodoo fools in Africa even exorcise evil spirits. It really is the longstanding historical method for dealing with these sorts of things.

No - Donna. Is Regan a movie reference I'm missing or do you know someone with a similar story?

[–] OnanTheBarbarian (10711) 5 months ago

Regan from The Exorcist. The priest died.
