Curses From Wooden Dolls

This is a true story

Laura*, 20, was marrying Simon*, 21, and they were receiving their wedding gifts. Laura’s dad had a job at an airline, and because of this there were over 500 guests attending the wedding, some of whom the couple did not know.
On Laura’s 21st birthday, she suffered a miscarriage.
Later that year, the couple had a daughter, Tracey*, who thankfully arrived safe and sound, but on Laura’s 23rd birthday the family recieved an eviction order.
They couple had three more daughters, Carol*, Alexandra* and Helen*, but soon Tracey and Helen began to suffer fits which doctors could not explain, and Simon was made redundant by by several companies.
On Laura’s 24th birthday, the boss came round in person, and sacked him.

It all got worse when Laura’s parents in India, died on both days she was due to visit. Then, two-year-old Alexandra suffered the same mysterious fits as her sisters. Laura’s Aunt Sue* came round to help the couple. And then Simon arrived home from work with more news. His company had gone into liquidation and he had been made redundant yet again.
Laura couldn’t take it. She stood up and started to yell. But Sue suddenly had a brainwave.
“Do you own any strange objects from overseas?” she asked. Laura thought about this for a moment.
“I remember some strange dolls we got as wedding gifts.” Sue instructed her to get rid of them and the box of dolls was emptied into the local tip.

Two weeks later, Simon returned home with news; “my department’s been made redundant,” he announced, and Laura sighed, but he continued, “but I’m the only one being retained!”
Now, the children’s fits are gone, and Simon’s pretty high up in his job, and on Laura’s 39th birthday they moved in to the first home they ever had.

I have had a similarly spooky experience with a similarly spooky doll - I had a carved wooden doll facing our computer for months and it kept crashing, being really slow, and denying our access to the Internet. I remembered the story, and turned the doll away, and voila, our computer is fine now. Coincidence? I don't think so.

These strange wooden dolls are carved out of dark coloured wood, are often from South-East Asia, are very detailed, and often look slightly frightening, so if you have had problems recently and you have one of these dolls, move it, or get rid of it, and your problems will disappear.

Honestly.
