Mia's face turned pale, and she could not convince herself that what she saw was an illusion. Even though she was extremely frightened, as a mother who was worried about her child, she suppressed her fear. She ran back to the door of the baby's room and knocked on the door again.
At her cry, the door lock was unlocked without warning. Mia rushed in, picked up the child and ran out. When the door was slammed in front of her, her eyes suddenly became dark.
Mia could see clearly that there was no one in the room and the door was suddenly closed.
In the dark room with a strange white shadow appearing, Mia kept turning the doorknob in fear. Little Liya felt her mother's emotions and started to cry again.
The door could not be opened. Mia cried and hugged the child tightly and pressed her back against the door panel. She still remembered that there was something in the room and she did not dare to turn her back to the room. Perhaps somewhere in the corner, the scary kid who appeared in front of the surveillance camera was watching them quietly.
Breathing uncontrollably, Mia reached out tremblingly to fumble for the light switch, but unexpectedly she touched a cold little hand on the switch. When Mia retracted her hand like an electric shock, the cold hand suddenly grabbed her.
"Hiss—" Lisa took a breath.
"What happened next?" Jamie asked, his face not looking good either. Not long ago, their family had experienced being targeted by evil spirits. Knowing that ghosts did exist, they naturally would not think that what Mia encountered was a hallucination.
Mia shivered uncontrollably: "I was so scared that I screamed. The curtains were closed and the lights couldn't be turned on. I couldn't see anything..."
Even Mia didn't know how she got through it. When she came to her senses, the door that couldn't be opened was pushed open by her. It was too late and her husband was not at home. She didn't know where to go, so she could only hold him in her arms. The daughter huddled on the bed in her room and waited until her husband came back from get off work.
As a doctor, John Gordon naturally did not believe that there was a ghost in the family. In addition, Mia's previous encounters had serious psychological shadow, and now she had to take care of the child. He naturally believed that Mia was under too much pressure and had hallucinations.
"Do you believe me?" Mia asked Lisa with tears in her eyes. Her husband didn't believe in her, and she would go crazy if she continued like this.
She now dared not leave Leah alone in the nursery. She had to keep the child within her sight when doing housework. After last night's fright, Mia could see shadows walking around the house during the day. . It was precisely because she saw it during the day that Mia suspected that there was something wrong with the house.
Just when she was making dinner, Liya, who was in the stroller, suddenly disappeared. Mia felt her heart stopped and subconsciously ran to the nursery. When she ran to the door, she saw Liya and the baby. Lying in the rocking chair. After a moment of emotional breakdown, Mia picked up the child and rushed out of the house.
Lisa immediately held Mia's hand and said firmly: "We believe in you!"
Mia was happy and sad after hearing this. The people closest to her didn't believe her, but fortunately there were still people who were willing to believe her.
Jamie saw it and had to defend John: "Most people don't believe that there are ghosts in this world. As a doctor, Mr. Gordon is even more difficult to accept. We believe that you have experienced it as well."
Hearing this, Mia looked over blankly, feeling incredible and creepy in her heart: "What? Have you experienced this too?"
Looking at their cozy little home, Mia subconsciously wondered if there was something wrong with the houses here.
The young couple looked at each other, Lisa touched her belly and said, "Aren't you curious why I'm afraid of puppets?"
"Isn't it a phobia of dolls?"
Some people are just afraid of dolls because they sometimes look like humans at first glance, which can arouse fear in some people.
Lisa had to start from her nightmare, saying that she had been repeating the nightmare of being killed by a puppet, and one day she actually received a puppet that was exactly the same as in the nightmare...
Even though the matter has passed, Lisa still has lingering fears when she recalls it again. Whenever she thinks back, she feels that Jamie and the others' behavior of burning Mary Xiao's body was very dangerous. Fortunately, Mary Xiao's ghost was not nearby at that time. Otherwise, the ending may not be what it is now.
"That's why I'm afraid of your collection of puppets," Lisa said.
After listening to Lisa's story, Mia fell into panic. Not only did Lisa's experience confirm the existence of ghosts, but she also thought of the puppet doll that Annabel held in her arms when she committed suicide. The doll had obviously been thrown away by John before moving, but after they moved here, they found the doll in the box for no apparent reason.
What if it is not the house that has a problem, but the doll?
Is it easy for ghosts to possess puppet bodies similar to humans?
Seeing that Mia hadn't spoken for a long time but her face was getting paler, Lisa asked worriedly: "Mia? What's wrong with you?"
Opening her mouth, Mia said in a dry voice: "The reason why we moved here is because I was almost burned to death."
The Eisens were startled. Before they could ask, Mia said distractedly: "If it's that doll... it must be Annabelle's ghost. Almost two months ago, one night I was screamed by the person next door. The sound woke me up."
Living next door to Gordon's house was a couple who adopted a daughter, Annabelle, in their early years. However, Annabelle ran away from home and never came back.
That night she sensed something was wrong next door and woke John up.
Anyone who pays attention to the news will find that housebreaking, robbery and murder are not uncommon, so John decided to quietly go over and take a look, and come back to call the police for help if there was any situation.
"I regretted it after John left. What if there are really gangsters over there who find him?"
Mia, who was left alone at home, was very panicked. They should call the police first instead of running over to see. What if they bumped into a gangster and killed someone? Will he be silenced?
Thinking of this, she hurriedly chased John out to call him back, but as soon as she went out, she saw John running back, and he looked so panicked that Mia immediately called the police.
"John told me that my neighbor had been killed." Mia recalled the feeling of horror at that time.
So Mia panicked and ran home to call the police.
She said with a cry: "I didn't expect that the murderous gangster next door had sneaked into the house while I was out, and attacked me when I hung up the phone." Mia was still pregnant at that time.
Mia fell to the ground due to severe pain. When the gangster was about to strike again, John rushed back and struggled with him.
When the couple was about to be killed, the policeman on patrol finally arrived and shot the gangster to death.
If Winnie were here, she would definitely find Mia's description very familiar. She had seen Mia being pushed into an ambulance on TV two months ago.
"The people who killed my neighbor were their adopted daughter Annabelle and her boyfriend. She ran away from home and joined a cult. She came back that day just to kill her adoptive parents."
Mia took a sip to calm down and said, "Annabelle hid in another room and committed suicide. I heard that she was holding my doll when she died."
That doll was a hard-to-find out-of-print doll given to her by John. It was made by a very powerful doll master. It was originally a limited edition. Later, the doll master died unexpectedly and he only completed one before his death. You can imagine how precious it is. . Mia is a doll lover, and John spent a lot of effort on this doll.
Mia originally liked it very much, and her husband had worked hard to find it. Mia did not throw it away because of the previous incident, but she did not expect that weird things would happen one after another at home from this time on.
The faucet is turned on suddenly, things placed at high places fall inexplicably, the TV is turned on suddenly in the middle of the night, electrical appliances are started suddenly...
Many small movements can be attributed to wind blowing, carelessness, electrical failure, etc. Mia never took it to heart. After all, who would believe that there are ghosts in this world unless they see it with their own eyes?
But thinking of someone holding it and dying, Mia felt a little scared when she saw it again, "So I asked John to throw it away."
As a result, a fire broke out in the house the next day. If the neighbors had not responded in time, Mia would have been burned to death.
Mia bit her lip and clenched her fists: "Now that I think about it, there was a fire in the house after I threw it away!" And she actually put the doll that suddenly appeared in the luggage into Xiaolia's room!
Mia cried with regret and hugged her child tightly: "Oh my God! I actually let Liya stay with it every day!"
Lisa and Jamie don't feel good either. They just got rid of the puppet Billy, and now there's another one. Mia is their friend and they cannot leave her alone, and ghosts are unreasonable. No one knows whether the ghost possessing the doll will target them.
"You can ask the Warrens for help." Lisa picked up the mobile phone next to her and looked for the Warrens' mobile phone numbers. The sooner she could ask for help, the better.
After listening to Lisa and their previous experiences, Mia also believed that the Warrens were real exorcists. If they could solve Lisa and their troubles, they would definitely be able to solve the ghost that possessed the doll's body.
The call was quickly answered. After learning about the situation here, Mr. Warren promised to come over tomorrow. It was best not to go home before that. After all, it was difficult for the Warrens to judge the situation over the phone. How powerful is the ghost in the body of a puppet?
It was starting to get dark, and Mia didn't dare to go back to that house. John had to work the night shift recently, and he would never dare to let Mia stay in that house alone with the child for one night. She didn't dare to let her stay in a hotel alone. Who knew if the doll would chase her?
Seeing Mia's concerns, Lisa also remembered her own experience. She also had a home and didn't dare to return. Fortunately, she was taken in by a kind neighbor. So she enthusiastically suggested: "Would you like to stay at our house for one night? The Warrens will be here tomorrow."
"Thank you." Mia said gratefully with relief.
How would they know that the person possessing the doll's body was not an ordinary ghost at all, but a demon.
