2023.03.29 10:33 HeadOfSpectre I Finally Found Out Why Dolls Keep Washing Up On The Beach
I’ve been keeping the Everfolk Point Lighthouse for around four years now. It’s a decent enough job, although probably not what one might imagine if they signed up to be a lighthouse keeper.
I figure that people probably picture me living alone on some desolate rock, spending my days tending to chores and looking sternly out at the sea during the evenings with a cup of warm grog but that’s really only half true.
For starters, I’m not alone. There’s always been at least one other person with me during my rotations at the lighthouse. It’s better to work in teams, partially because it’s good to have company and partially because in case anything happens, it’s better to have someone who can call for help. Working at any lighthouse can be dangerous. When you’re that close to the sea, any storms that come your way hit you like a brick and if you’re not prepared, they
will kill you dead.
Working at a lighthouse is hard work too. I’ve met some folks who think that the job is just turning the light on and off again, but it’s nowhere near that simple. All lighthouses, even the automated ones still need maintenance. The storms that come off the water wear them down quickly, so you spend most of your time shoring them up, making repairs, and doing maintenance. In the four years, I’ve worked at Everfolk Point, I’ve probably repainted the whole property two or three times and I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to repaint it two or three more before I get transferred.
That said, while they work me like a dog, it’s not all bad. I don’t actually stay at the lighthouse 365 days a year. I spend one month there, and then I get one month off. In effect, I’m really only working six months out of the year. They do it to prevent people going stir crazy, like you see in the movies, although it doesn’t stop you from going a
little crazy.
Simply put - when you’re working at the lighthouse, things can get a little weird and that’s okay! You’re more or less completely cut off from the rest of the world save for one radio you’re only expected to use in an emergency and little to do in your leisure time. Put in those circumstances, people tend to find some interesting hobbies to keep themselves occupied.
For example - one of the guys I often worked with, Gideon took an interest in taxidermy and collecting bones. He’d find dead animals washed up on shore or out in the woods and turn them into little projects. He actually got pretty good at it. Once he even brought home a freaking moose skull. It was simultaneously the creepiest and coolest thing I’d ever seen in my life. He brought that skull home with him after our rotation ended, and as far as I know, it hangs in his living room to this day.
Personally? I always passed the time by baking bread. I’d originally only started doing it out of necessity (we had to make most of our food completely from scratch) but after my first few batches turned out badly, I wanted to up my game and may have gotten a little obsessed with it. Oh, I could talk for hours about baking bread! I’ve even come up with my own recipes! I make this fantastic, spicy, cheesy bread that’s to die for! It’s great for a sandwich. And lately, I’ve been expanding into bagels which is kinda an art form in and of itself. If you’ve never made bagels from scratch before, you just haven’t lived. A real homemade bagel makes the stuff you get at the grocery store look like a sad joke. One taste of the real thing and you’ll never be able to go back!
Ah, but there I go getting all carried away. I didn’t sit down to talk about bread. That’s not what’s really on my mind tonight, no.
See, I got back from my last rotation about three days ago but I’ve had this particular incident on my mind for almost two weeks now. I really don’t know what to make of it. I’ve filed the relevant reports, of course, and as far as I know, the situation is technically resolved but that hasn’t given me much in the way of closure. I suppose I’m hoping that by sharing it here and putting it out into the world, that will change.
I worked at a few different lighthouses before I got posted at Everfolk, and as I said before I know that sometimes the isolation can make you a little weird. But in my experience, it’s always been the people who’ve been weird, and up until I went to Everfolk I hadn’t seen a single thing I couldn’t logically explain. But when I started finding the dolls, that all changed.
I first noticed them a few months after first starting my posting at Everfolk. It’d been a quiet Sunday morning and I’d been going down the beach to do some fishing when I saw one. I’d initially figured that it was just garbage. We saw plenty of it washed up on the rocky beach. Usually, I’d just pick it up and get rid of it. But as I went to grab it, I noticed the puffy cheeks and squashed nose. As I looked down at the face, it clicked that what I was looking at was the face of a baby and I felt a brief stab of panic before realizing that this thankfully wasn’t the corpse of an actual baby. It was just a doll. It was worn down by the elements, yes and it sure as heck looked like it’d seen better days, but it was just an ordinary baby doll.
Well… mostly ordinary. When I picked it up to inspect it, I couldn’t help but notice that somebody had gone through the effort of putting actual baby clothes on it. This stuff looked handmade. Honestly, the sight of it kinda broke my heart. Once upon a time, somebody must’ve really loved this doll and it was a little tragic to find it washed up on some faraway shore. The idea of just casually throwing it out didn’t really appeal to me. Call me sentimental, but hurling something that well loved into the trash just felt… wrong. So, I kept it and as I went down to my usual fishing spot, I carried it with me so it would dry and not soak the contents of my backpack. I guess I’d wondered if maybe I could somehow find its owner. The internet is a big place, maybe if I posted it when I got back home I could reunite it with whoever the original owner was. Even if they didn’t want the doll back (it was in pretty rough shape) the clothes could probably still be salvaged.
***
“That’s gotta be the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen,” said the girl I’d been working with back during my first rotation at the lighthouse. Her name was Ashley and she'd been there for two years longer than I had.
“Oh come on, look at his little coat, it’s kinda cute,” I’d replied.
Ashley had just grimaced.
“It’s still got weeds tangled in it,” She said. “And look at the eyes, the paints faded off.”
“Eh, give him a little TLC and he’ll be right as rain,” I said although Ashley didn’t seem convinced. She just stared mistrustfully down at the doll, inspecting it without daring to put her hands on it.
I was busy preparing that day’s catch for dinner, and Ashley reached over to take one of the wooden spoons we used for cooking so she could use the handle to turn the doll over.
“Look at the teeth marks on it too… something’s been chewing on this,” She noted.
“They’re battle scars,” I said. “No fun going on an ordeal like this without some battle scars, right? And besides, I always thought flaws like that gave something a little bit of personality.”
Again, Ashley just huffed.
“There’s some cracks on the back of the head,” She noted.
“I saw some coyotes down by the beach the other day, maybe they thought it was food,” I said with a shrug. “I’ll glue it and patch it up. Then see if I can’t find the original owner. I’ll bet some kid probably wants this back.”
“You are aware that this thing’s probably been floating out at sea for years, right?” She asked.
Again, I just shrugged.
“Well, maybe I’ll make some random woman's day, then,” I said and that was that.
True to my word, I did post some photos of the doll I’d found online when my rotation ended although I never heard anything back about it. A few people commented on just how creepy the doll was, but I didn’t really pay them much mind. It was an abandoned doll that had washed up on a remote beach in Labrador. Of course, it was doomed to be a little bit creepy. But I was hoping that somebody would claim it all the same, and when nobody did I still kept the doll, putting it on the desk of my apartment just in case. It still felt wrong to just throw it out after all.
***
I found the next doll about four months later, during one of my winter rotations. I was working with Ashley again, and we’d been trying to shore up the lighthouse against an oncoming blizzard that was due to hit us that night. The winds were pretty strong that day and had already torn some shingles off of the shack where the fog horn was kept. It’d blown them down toward the beach, and I’d gone down to collect them. We couldn’t fix the shed until after the storm, obviously. Just being too close to the fog horn would’ve shattered your eardrums. Even from down on the beach, the periodic drone from the horn made my entire body shake. Even in the cabin, we had to time our conversations around it lest it interrupt us. But, I figured it was better to at least have the shingles so we could do the repairs later and while I was collecting them I noticed another shape lodged between some of the rocks.
This doll was in significantly worse shape than the last one I’d found. In fact, I didn’t even recognize it as a doll at first. The head was completely missing and the body was tattered to the point where I could see the bendable joints inside.
This one was past saving, but I still brought it with me if for no other reason than to get it off the beach. After I’d finished up outside, I came in to find Ashley drinking a cup of hot chocolate in our kitchen, sitting comfortably under a stained glass mural of a ship she’d painted.
“Made you a cup,” She said gesturing to a steaming hot cup of coca on the table beside her, before noticing the tattered doll in my hand. “Oh God, not another one!”
“Found it down on the beach,” I said.
“You gonna fix this one up too?”
I looked down at the broken doll, before shaking my head.
“Too busted,” I said before deciding that this one needed to go in the trash.
“So that’s two now?” She asked, pausing to wait for the fog horn to sound before continuing, “Is this gonna be a thing with you?” She only seemed to be half joking.
“Well, you gotta admit it’s a little more interesting than stained glass,” I teased.
“Hey, screw you, man!” She replied, cracking a small smile. I took my coca and took a sip of it. The fog horn blared again, allowing her to continue.
“For something to keep me from going crazy, at least it’s constructive. And you gotta admit that I’m getting pretty good at it!”
I looked up at her mural and nodded in agreement. She
was getting good at it.
“We all go crazy in our own little ways,” She said. “I make stained glass, you collect weird beach dolls.”
“I mean, I don’t think taking the other one home was that weird,” I said, as the fog horn sounded again.
“I was talking more about the fact that there even are beach dolls,” She said. “That’s a little weird, don’t you think? Usually, we just see bottles, and pieces of plastic. Stuff like that. Never seen any dolls on the beach before.”
“Ocean currents, maybe?” I asked, “There’s a lotta crap out there.”
“Maybe,” She said with a shrug, “I guess it’s not the weirdest thing you could possibly find but… I dunno.”
The fog horn punctuated her sentence and I looked down at the ruined doll again. Studying it closer, I couldn’t help but remember how Ashley had mentioned that the last one looked like something had been chewing on it. This one sorta looked the same, although much worse for wear. I shrugged off the state of the doll and tossed it in the trash. No point in looking too hard at it, I figured.
***
Over the next couple of years, I found another doll once every few months down by the beach.
They weren’t all the same. Each one was different in its own unique way. The next one I found was further down the beach, near the bottom of a charming little waterfall I sometimes visited during the hikes I took during my downtime. This one opened and closed its eyes depending on if it was laying down or not, although the eyelids had partially rotted off, meaning that they technically stayed open no matter what. It seemed a little bit older than the others and was actually starting to grow moss on it. But it was intact enough that I took it with me.
I’d been working with Gideon that month, and when he saw me bring the doll in, he actually laughed at the sight of it.
“Found another one?” He asked.
“Down by the waterfall,” I replied, holding it up to show him. “Gotta say, this one doesn’t seem to be in all that bad shape!”
He just shook his head in disbelief.
“That’s easily the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen,” He said.
“Creepier than the moose head?” I asked. He raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue.
I spent that afternoon cleaning the moss baby while I waited for my bread to bake. Getting the moss out of his hair was the hardest part, and even when I was done it still had a greenish tint to it. When I got back from my rotation, Moss Baby was the second doll I posted online. Just like the first, nobody came forward to claim it.
Two months later and I found a crocheted baby doll on the beach. This one was in very rough condition, having almost completely dissolved into wet threads, but I kept it anyway and tried to put it back together. It became the third I posted, although I ended up throwing it out after trying and failing to put it back together for the better part of two weeks.
As time went by, the dolls in my apartment piled up. Every few months, I’d find one I thought I could save and brought it home with me. The office of my apartment started to become something of a museum, with shelves lined with the sea battered dolls I’d found. I started seeing them less as things I hoped to return and more as mementos of my days at the lighthouse. I even kept them beside some of the gifts I’d traded with my colleagues. A mounted elk skull I’d gotten from Gideon and a stained glass sign that Ashley had painted for me as a gift that read:
Advice From The Ocean Be shore of yourself Take time to coast. Avoid pier pressure Sea lifes beauty Don’t get tide down Make waves!
I still never really considered doll collecting to be my ‘weird hobby’ but it was still turning into a hobby, I suppose… right up until I found the red haired doll.
***
It was a clear night. Gideon, Ashley, and I were all working a rotation at the lighthouse and had decided that it was the perfect night for a campfire. Ashey had brought marshmallows for just a night like this and was greedily toasting one after another and shoveling them into her mouth while Gideon sat nearby, calmly reading a book.
I’d gone down to one of our sheds near the beach to get more firewood when in the light from my lantern I saw a speck of red among the rocks. I’d paused before going to investigate and finding yet another doll there.
This one was plastic, with an ugly moping face and frizzy red hair. Someone had scribbled all over her face with a marker, giving her big glasses and an attempt at a smile, although with her face bleached pale from the sun, it made her face look more like a grinning skull than anything else.
I held on to the doll while I grabbed the firewood and brought it back with me to the campfire. I’d barely even made it back when Ashley noticed the doll.
“Oh God… Gideon, he’s got another one!”
“Seriously? Steve, where do you keep finding these?”
“On the beach,” I said plainly as I set the firewood down and held up the doll for them to see.
“It’s official, this is the worst one yet,” Ashley said, popping another marshmallow into her mouth. “Does this one look chewed up too?”
I frowned and looked down at the doll.
“A little bit,” I admitted. “But you gotta admit, it’s one for the collection!”
“Oh, so now it’s a collection,” Gideon said. “You know the first step is admitting that you’ve got a problem.”
“That what you did with your deer heads?” I teased.
“It’s not a problem, it’s art,” He replied.
“Keep telling yourself that, buddy.”
In an effort to annoy my colleagues, I set the Sad Skull Girl (as she had just been christened) down by the fire beside me. Ashley just shook her head and smoothed back her long brown hair before sitting back and reaching for another marshmallow.
“Did anyone ever claim any of those dolls you’ve been collecting?” She asked.
“Nah, they’re sitting on a shelf at home,” I said.
“There’s a shelf now?” Gideon asked, “My dude, how many of these things do you have?”
“I dunno, seven. Eight, now I guess.”
He just shook his head in faux disgust.
“Crazy…”
“Hey, I’ve still got them up online,” I said. “Maybe one day, someone will claim one!”
I had no idea how prophetic those words would turn out to be.
***
I posted Sad Skull Girl to the usual places, asking if she belonged to anyone but I never expected to get a response.
First time for everything, I guess.
I woke up around a week after I’d posted her to an email from a woman named Lillie Thompson that read as follows:
Mr. Lawson A friend of mine has shown me the doll you posted to social media recently and I regret to inform you that I do recognize it. I have a close friend - Donald Trantham who’s granddaughter owned a doll identical to the one you shared. A doll who was with her at the time of her disappearance last year. Please Mr. Lawson, can you reach out to the St. John’s police? Show them what you gave found. Donald is a dear friend of mine. He and his family have suffered greatly from their loss and I want nothing more than to see them receive some closure. Yours - Lillie Thompson
I think it goes without saying that reading that email sent a chill through me. The markings on that doll were distinct. While I was sure that identical dolls existed out there, none of them would have had a face like Sad Skull Girl. Someone had drawn on her. Tried to change her face. Tried to make her smile.
And that someone had been missing for over a year now.
Obviously, I reached out to the St. John’s Police. I sent them photos of the doll I’d found, along with Lillie Thompson’s email. Then around three days later, I had the police knocking at my door. I answered their questions, told them where I’d found the doll, and even mentioned that Gideon and Ashley had been with me when I’d found it. I even showed them some of the other dolls I’d found washed up along the shore and let the police photograph them. I didn’t think that anything would come of it… but not even a week after they’d interviewed me, they came back.
Six of the seven dolls I’d found had been connected to children who’d gone missing in the past five years. The police took them as evidence, brought me in for questioning and I told them everything. They even brought in Gideon and Ashley to confirm my stories, since they’d been with me when I’d found a couple of the dolls.
Ultimately, I wasn’t arrested. My story stood up to every question they asked. But I was still shaken down to my core. All those dolls… the ones whose owners I could not find, were mementos from some missing child, and I couldn’t deny what that probably meant.
It was a few days after the police questioned me that Ashley invited me out for coffee. We didn’t live in the same city, but she’d come down to talk to the police and figured she’d check in on me while I was there.
“All those kids…” I said, staring lifelessly down into my cup, “And what about the dolls I didn’t save… how many more…”
“Hey… you had no way of knowing,” She said, putting a reassuring hand over mine. “And you were trying to do the right thing, posting those dolls, trying to see if anyone recognized them! If you hadn’t been doing that, then those parents wouldn’t have heard anything at all! The Police wouldn’t know where to look for…” She trailed off, not wanting to finish that sentence but I didn’t see any point in trying to spare my own feelings.
“Look for the bodies,” I said. I wasn’t stupid… I knew what the abandoned dolls probably meant.
Ashley gave a grim nod.
“You did what you could,” She said. “That’s all any of us can do.”
“Yeah… I guess…” I said softly, although I couldn’t help but feel like it wasn’t enough. Then again… what would be enough?
“And look on the bright side, you’re not a suspect anymore! So… there’s that!” She tried to force a smile but it seemed hollow.
“Yeah, and whoever the hell’s been doing all of this is still out there,” I said. “I never saw anywhere the dolls could have come from… I never… all I was able to tell the police was that it wasn’t me!”
Ashley’s fake smile faded. She shifted uncomfortably.
“What?” I asked and she sighed.
“Okay… well… that might not be entirely true,” She said. “When I was talking to the police, they asked me if I saw anything strange out at the lighthouse over the past few years. Something that might be connected to the dolls and… I dunno, maybe it was nothing but I remembered something.”
“Wait, really?” I asked, leaning in a little closer.
“Okay so, it could be nothing!” Ashley said, “I mean, it’s
probably nothing! But every now and then I saw this boat, out on the water. It wasn’t all that big. Gunmetal gray, kinda boxy looking. I usually saw it early in the morning. It only really popped up once every month or so but it was out there pretty frequently. And… look, maybe I’m just making a connection that isn’t really there, but sometimes I thought I saw him throwing something into the water. I always figured that the guy was just out there fishing… but with this stuff about the dolls…”
My stomach turned.
“You think it was him?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” Ashley said. “But the police asked if I remembered anything and that’s what I remembered!”
She took a sip of her coffee, her brow furrowed as she did.
“Maybe it’s nothing,” She said.
And maybe it was… I hoped it might be.
***
When it was time to rotate back to the lighthouse, I was almost afraid to go. I was even more afraid that Ashley and Gideon wouldn’t be there with me, but they were. Our first few days back were quiet and almost blissfully uneventful. We did our maintenance, we tended the light and we kept to ourselves. In the evenings, I baked bread while Gideon read and Ashley worked on her latest stained glass project and if ever any of us needed to go down to the beach, I let one of them do it.
I didn’t think I could handle finding another doll, knowing what it would probably mean.
For two weeks, we just sort of existed… until the morning where Ashley saw the boat again.
I’d been asleep when I heard her yelling, and coming down the stairs.
“Gideon! Steve, get on the radio!” She called.
I sat up, groggy and only half conscious as she burst into my bedroom.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“The boat,” She replied, a grave look in her eye and it took me a moment to realize what she meant.
Gideon had just barely poked his head out of his bedroom when I ran out. Ashley was already heading back out the door, a pair of binoculars in hand while I got on the radio to call the coast guard. I saw Gideon barreling down the stairs past me, running out the door after Ashley to watch the boat.
“This is Everfolk Point Lighthouse,” I said into the radio. “Calling in regarding a suspicious watercraft.”
I told them everything, before switching out with Gideon when he came back inside so I could see the boat for myself.
The gunmetal gray boat sat below the rocky cliffs in the distance, although seemed to be already moving away. Ashley offered me the binoculars and I took them, staring out at the distant boat.
Behind the wheel, I could see a man. He looked to be somewhere in his forties, with a thin scuff and dead eyes. He stared vacantly ahead, not even noticing us as he passed. I noted every detail of his face… knowing that I may need to identify him again.
He’d made it a good distance away from the cliffs when we saw the coast guards' ships arriving and as they boarded him, I felt a quiet sense of relief wash over me.
If this was the man… then they’d gotten him.
***
We heard nothing from the coast guard or the police over the next few days, although once my rotation ended and I made it back home, I heard plenty both on the local news and through a friend of mine who’d married a cop.
The man on that boat was identified as Brian Ligon. Apparently, he lived in a small cottage, outside of a town several kilometers down the coast from our lighthouse. And while they found no bodies in that cottage, they clearly found enough to arrest him.
“The way I heard it, the guy was completely nuts!” My friend said, “Soon as they booked him, he’d started screaming and ranting about how he had to kill those kids… how he was actually a good person and he had to ‘feed something’.” She’d shaken her head in disgust, “This is why I never ask about these things. It just makes me sad!”
“Well… I appreciate you asking for me,” I said.
My friend took a sip of her coffee, giving a frustrated sigh.
“Supposedly, he was throwing those dolls into the ocean because he believed their souls lived inside of them, and were feeding something in the water or something like that… either way it’s crazy.”
“Crazy…” I agreed, although my mind wandered back to the teeth marks I’d seen on some of the dolls.
I tried not to think too hard about it.
I read somewhere that Ligon was found dead in his cell the other night… and I can’t pretend that I don’t find the news of his death a little relieving. It’s clear to me that he was a monster… and that there are parts of this story that I do not want to or need to know. I’ve told myself that I won’t pry any further for the sake of my own mental health… I have enough nightmares about the dolls as it is now and there’s a very large part of me that just wants to forget that any of this ever happened.
But the questions still gnaw at me all the same.
Ligon was probably crazy… and when he said that he believed he was feeding something in the ocean, those were probably little more than the words of a deeply disturbed individual. But I can’t forget the teeth marks I saw in the plastic flesh of some of those dolls. I know it’s probably nothing, logically it has to be nothing!
And as I sit here tonight, staring at the only doll I have left, the first one I took from the beach, I can’t help but look at those old scars in her flesh and
wonder. submitted by

2023.03.29 10:32 HeadOfSpectre I Finally Found Out Why Dolls Keep Washing Up On The Beach
I’ve been keeping the Everfolk Point Lighthouse for around four years now. It’s a decent enough job, although probably not what one might imagine if they signed up to be a lighthouse keeper.
I figure that people probably picture me living alone on some desolate rock, spending my days tending to chores and looking sternly out at the sea during the evenings with a cup of warm grog but that’s really only half true.
For starters, I’m not alone. There’s always been at least one other person with me during my rotations at the lighthouse. It’s better to work in teams, partially because it’s good to have company and partially because in case anything happens, it’s better to have someone who can call for help. Working at any lighthouse can be dangerous. When you’re that close to the sea, any storms that come your way hit you like a brick and if you’re not prepared, they will kill you dead.
Working at a lighthouse is hard work too. I’ve met some folks who think that the job is just turning the light on and off again, but it’s nowhere near that simple. All lighthouses, even the automated ones still need maintenance. The storms that come off the water wear them down quickly, so you spend most of your time shoring them up, making repairs, and doing maintenance. In the four years, I’ve worked at Everfolk Point, I’ve probably repainted the whole property two or three times and I wouldn’t be surprised if I have to repaint it two or three more before I get transferred.
That said, while they work me like a dog, it’s not all bad. I don’t actually stay at the lighthouse 365 days a year. I spend one month there, and then I get one month off. In effect, I’m really only working six months out of the year. They do it to prevent people going stir crazy, like you see in the movies, although it doesn’t stop you from going a little crazy.
Simply put - when you’re working at the lighthouse, things can get a little weird and that’s okay! You’re more or less completely cut off from the rest of the world save for one radio you’re only expected to use in an emergency and little to do in your leisure time. Put in those circumstances, people tend to find some interesting hobbies to keep themselves occupied.
For example - one of the guys I often worked with, Gideon took an interest in taxidermy and collecting bones. He’d find dead animals washed up on shore or out in the woods and turn them into little projects. He actually got pretty good at it. Once he even brought home a freaking moose skull. It was simultaneously the creepiest and coolest thing I’d ever seen in my life. He brought that skull home with him after our rotation ended, and as far as I know, it hangs in his living room to this day.
Personally? I always passed the time by baking bread. I’d originally only started doing it out of necessity (we had to make most of our food completely from scratch) but after my first few batches turned out badly, I wanted to up my game and may have gotten a little obsessed with it. Oh, I could talk for hours about baking bread! I’ve even come up with my own recipes! I make this fantastic, spicy, cheesy bread that’s to die for! It’s great for a sandwich. And lately, I’ve been expanding into bagels which is kinda an art form in and of itself. If you’ve never made bagels from scratch before, you just haven’t lived. A real homemade bagel makes the stuff you get at the grocery store look like a sad joke. One taste of the real thing and you’ll never be able to go back!
Ah, but there I go getting all carried away. I didn’t sit down to talk about bread. That’s not what’s really on my mind tonight, no.
See, I got back from my last rotation about three days ago but I’ve had this particular incident on my mind for almost two weeks now. I really don’t know what to make of it. I’ve filed the relevant reports, of course, and as far as I know, the situation is technically resolved but that hasn’t given me much in the way of closure. I suppose I’m hoping that by sharing it here and putting it out into the world, that will change.
I worked at a few different lighthouses before I got posted at Everfolk, and as I said before I know that sometimes the isolation can make you a little weird. But in my experience, it’s always been the people who’ve been weird, and up until I went to Everfolk I hadn’t seen a single thing I couldn’t logically explain. But when I started finding the dolls, that all changed.
I first noticed them a few months after first starting my posting at Everfolk. It’d been a quiet Sunday morning and I’d been going down the beach to do some fishing when I saw one. I’d initially figured that it was just garbage. We saw plenty of it washed up on the rocky beach. Usually, I’d just pick it up and get rid of it. But as I went to grab it, I noticed the puffy cheeks and squashed nose. As I looked down at the face, it clicked that what I was looking at was the face of a baby and I felt a brief stab of panic before realizing that this thankfully wasn’t the corpse of an actual baby. It was just a doll. It was worn down by the elements, yes and it sure as heck looked like it’d seen better days, but it was just an ordinary baby doll.
Well… mostly ordinary. When I picked it up to inspect it, I couldn’t help but notice that somebody had gone through the effort of putting actual baby clothes on it. This stuff looked handmade. Honestly, the sight of it kinda broke my heart. Once upon a time, somebody must’ve really loved this doll and it was a little tragic to find it washed up on some faraway shore. The idea of just casually throwing it out didn’t really appeal to me. Call me sentimental, but hurling something that well loved into the trash just felt… wrong. So, I kept it and as I went down to my usual fishing spot, I carried it with me so it would dry and not soak the contents of my backpack. I guess I’d wondered if maybe I could somehow find its owner. The internet is a big place, maybe if I posted it when I got back home I could reunite it with whoever the original owner was. Even if they didn’t want the doll back (it was in pretty rough shape) the clothes could probably still be salvaged.
***
“That’s gotta be the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen,” said the girl I’d been working with back during my first rotation at the lighthouse. Her name was Ashley and she'd been there for two years longer than I had.
“Oh come on, look at his little coat, it’s kinda cute,” I’d replied.
Ashley had just grimaced.
“It’s still got weeds tangled in it,” She said. “And look at the eyes, the paints faded off.”
“Eh, give him a little TLC and he’ll be right as rain,” I said although Ashley didn’t seem convinced. She just stared mistrustfully down at the doll, inspecting it without daring to put her hands on it.
I was busy preparing that day’s catch for dinner, and Ashley reached over to take one of the wooden spoons we used for cooking so she could use the handle to turn the doll over.
“Look at the teeth marks on it too… something’s been chewing on this,” She noted.
“They’re battle scars,” I said. “No fun going on an ordeal like this without some battle scars, right? And besides, I always thought flaws like that gave something a little bit of personality.”
Again, Ashley just huffed.
“There’s some cracks on the back of the head,” She noted.
“I saw some coyotes down by the beach the other day, maybe they thought it was food,” I said with a shrug. “I’ll glue it and patch it up. Then see if I can’t find the original owner. I’ll bet some kid probably wants this back.”
“You are aware that this thing’s probably been floating out at sea for years, right?” She asked.
Again, I just shrugged.
“Well, maybe I’ll make some random woman's day, then,” I said and that was that.
True to my word, I did post some photos of the doll I’d found online when my rotation ended although I never heard anything back about it. A few people commented on just how creepy the doll was, but I didn’t really pay them much mind. It was an abandoned doll that had washed up on a remote beach in Labrador. Of course, it was doomed to be a little bit creepy. But I was hoping that somebody would claim it all the same, and when nobody did I still kept the doll, putting it on the desk of my apartment just in case. It still felt wrong to just throw it out after all.
***
I found the next doll about four months later, during one of my winter rotations. I was working with Ashley again, and we’d been trying to shore up the lighthouse against an oncoming blizzard that was due to hit us that night. The winds were pretty strong that day and had already torn some shingles off of the shack where the fog horn was kept. It’d blown them down toward the beach, and I’d gone down to collect them. We couldn’t fix the shed until after the storm, obviously. Just being too close to the fog horn would’ve shattered your eardrums. Even from down on the beach, the periodic drone from the horn made my entire body shake. Even in the cabin, we had to time our conversations around it lest it interrupt us. But, I figured it was better to at least have the shingles so we could do the repairs later and while I was collecting them I noticed another shape lodged between some of the rocks.
This doll was in significantly worse shape than the last one I’d found. In fact, I didn’t even recognize it as a doll at first. The head was completely missing and the body was tattered to the point where I could see the bendable joints inside.
This one was past saving, but I still brought it with me if for no other reason than to get it off the beach. After I’d finished up outside, I came in to find Ashley drinking a cup of hot chocolate in our kitchen, sitting comfortably under a stained glass mural of a ship she’d painted.
“Made you a cup,” She said gesturing to a steaming hot cup of coca on the table beside her, before noticing the tattered doll in my hand. “Oh God, not another one!”
“Found it down on the beach,” I said.
“You gonna fix this one up too?”
I looked down at the broken doll, before shaking my head.
“Too busted,” I said before deciding that this one needed to go in the trash.
“So that’s two now?” She asked, pausing to wait for the fog horn to sound before continuing, “Is this gonna be a thing with you?” She only seemed to be half joking.
“Well, you gotta admit it’s a little more interesting than stained glass,” I teased.
“Hey, screw you, man!” She replied, cracking a small smile. I took my coca and took a sip of it. The fog horn blared again, allowing her to continue.
“For something to keep me from going crazy, at least it’s constructive. And you gotta admit that I’m getting pretty good at it!”
I looked up at her mural and nodded in agreement. She was getting good at it.
“We all go crazy in our own little ways,” She said. “I make stained glass, you collect weird beach dolls.”
“I mean, I don’t think taking the other one home was that weird,” I said, as the fog horn sounded again.
“I was talking more about the fact that there even are beach dolls,” She said. “That’s a little weird, don’t you think? Usually, we just see bottles, and pieces of plastic. Stuff like that. Never seen any dolls on the beach before.”
“Ocean currents, maybe?” I asked, “There’s a lotta crap out there.”
“Maybe,” She said with a shrug, “I guess it’s not the weirdest thing you could possibly find but… I dunno.”
The fog horn punctuated her sentence and I looked down at the ruined doll again. Studying it closer, I couldn’t help but remember how Ashley had mentioned that the last one looked like something had been chewing on it. This one sorta looked the same, although much worse for wear. I shrugged off the state of the doll and tossed it in the trash. No point in looking too hard at it, I figured.
***
Over the next couple of years, I found another doll once every few months down by the beach.
They weren’t all the same. Each one was different in its own unique way. The next one I found was further down the beach, near the bottom of a charming little waterfall I sometimes visited during the hikes I took during my downtime. This one opened and closed its eyes depending on if it was laying down or not, although the eyelids had partially rotted off, meaning that they technically stayed open no matter what. It seemed a little bit older than the others and was actually starting to grow moss on it. But it was intact enough that I took it with me.
I’d been working with Gideon that month, and when he saw me bring the doll in, he actually laughed at the sight of it.
“Found another one?” He asked.
“Down by the waterfall,” I replied, holding it up to show him. “Gotta say, this one doesn’t seem to be in all that bad shape!”
He just shook his head in disbelief.
“That’s easily the creepiest thing I’ve ever seen,” He said.
“Creepier than the moose head?” I asked. He raised an eyebrow but didn’t argue.
I spent that afternoon cleaning the moss baby while I waited for my bread to bake. Getting the moss out of his hair was the hardest part, and even when I was done it still had a greenish tint to it. When I got back from my rotation, Moss Baby was the second doll I posted online. Just like the first, nobody came forward to claim it.
Two months later and I found a crocheted baby doll on the beach. This one was in very rough condition, having almost completely dissolved into wet threads, but I kept it anyway and tried to put it back together. It became the third I posted, although I ended up throwing it out after trying and failing to put it back together for the better part of two weeks.
As time went by, the dolls in my apartment piled up. Every few months, I’d find one I thought I could save and brought it home with me. The office of my apartment started to become something of a museum, with shelves lined with the sea battered dolls I’d found. I started seeing them less as things I hoped to return and more as mementos of my days at the lighthouse. I even kept them beside some of the gifts I’d traded with my colleagues. A mounted elk skull I’d gotten from Gideon and a stained glass sign that Ashley had painted for me as a gift that read:
Advice From The Ocean
Be shore of yourself
Take time to coast.
Avoid pier pressure
Sea lifes beauty
Don’t get tide down
Make waves!
I still never really considered doll collecting to be my ‘weird hobby’ but it was still turning into a hobby, I suppose… right up until I found the red haired doll.
***
It was a clear night. Gideon, Ashley, and I were all working a rotation at the lighthouse and had decided that it was the perfect night for a campfire. Ashey had brought marshmallows for just a night like this and was greedily toasting one after another and shoveling them into her mouth while Gideon sat nearby, calmly reading a book.
I’d gone down to one of our sheds near the beach to get more firewood when in the light from my lantern I saw a speck of red among the rocks. I’d paused before going to investigate and finding yet another doll there.
This one was plastic, with an ugly moping face and frizzy red hair. Someone had scribbled all over her face with a marker, giving her big glasses and an attempt at a smile, although with her face bleached pale from the sun, it made her face look more like a grinning skull than anything else.
I held on to the doll while I grabbed the firewood and brought it back with me to the campfire. I’d barely even made it back when Ashley noticed the doll.
“Oh God… Gideon, he’s got another one!”
“Seriously? Steve, where do you keep finding these?”
“On the beach,” I said plainly as I set the firewood down and held up the doll for them to see.
“It’s official, this is the worst one yet,” Ashley said, popping another marshmallow into her mouth. “Does this one look chewed up too?”
I frowned and looked down at the doll.
“A little bit,” I admitted. “But you gotta admit, it’s one for the collection!”
“Oh, so now it’s a collection,” Gideon said. “You know the first step is admitting that you’ve got a problem.”
“That what you did with your deer heads?” I teased.
“It’s not a problem, it’s art,” He replied.
“Keep telling yourself that, buddy.”
In an effort to annoy my colleagues, I set the Sad Skull Girl (as she had just been christened) down by the fire beside me. Ashley just shook her head and smoothed back her long brown hair before sitting back and reaching for another marshmallow.
“Did anyone ever claim any of those dolls you’ve been collecting?” She asked.
“Nah, they’re sitting on a shelf at home,” I said.
“There’s a shelf now?” Gideon asked, “My dude, how many of these things do you have?”
“I dunno, seven. Eight, now I guess.”
He just shook his head in faux disgust.
“Crazy…”
“Hey, I’ve still got them up online,” I said. “Maybe one day, someone will claim one!”
I had no idea how prophetic those words would turn out to be.
***
I posted Sad Skull Girl to the usual places, asking if she belonged to anyone but I never expected to get a response.
First time for everything, I guess.
I woke up around a week after I’d posted her to an email from a woman named Lillie Thompson that read as follows:
Mr. Lawson
A friend of mine has shown me the doll you posted to social media recently and I regret to inform you that I do recognize it.
I have a close friend - Donald Trantham who’s granddaughter owned a doll identical to the one you shared. A doll who was with her at the time of her disappearance last year.
Please Mr. Lawson, can you reach out to the St. John’s police? Show them what you gave found. Donald is a dear friend of mine. He and his family have suffered greatly from their loss and I want nothing more than to see them receive some closure.
Yours - Lillie Thompson
I think it goes without saying that reading that email sent a chill through me. The markings on that doll were distinct. While I was sure that identical dolls existed out there, none of them would have had a face like Sad Skull Girl. Someone had drawn on her. Tried to change her face. Tried to make her smile.
And that someone had been missing for over a year now.
Obviously, I reached out to the St. John’s Police. I sent them photos of the doll I’d found, along with Lillie Thompson’s email. Then around three days later, I had the police knocking at my door. I answered their questions, told them where I’d found the doll, and even mentioned that Gideon and Ashley had been with me when I’d found it. I even showed them some of the other dolls I’d found washed up along the shore and let the police photograph them. I didn’t think that anything would come of it… but not even a week after they’d interviewed me, they came back.
Six of the seven dolls I’d found had been connected to children who’d gone missing in the past five years. The police took them as evidence, brought me in for questioning and I told them everything. They even brought in Gideon and Ashley to confirm my stories, since they’d been with me when I’d found a couple of the dolls.
Ultimately, I wasn’t arrested. My story stood up to every question they asked. But I was still shaken down to my core. All those dolls… the ones whose owners I could not find, were mementos from some missing child, and I couldn’t deny what that probably meant.
It was a few days after the police questioned me that Ashley invited me out for coffee. We didn’t live in the same city, but she’d come down to talk to the police and figured she’d check in on me while I was there.
“All those kids…” I said, staring lifelessly down into my cup, “And what about the dolls I didn’t save… how many more…”
“Hey… you had no way of knowing,” She said, putting a reassuring hand over mine. “And you were trying to do the right thing, posting those dolls, trying to see if anyone recognized them! If you hadn’t been doing that, then those parents wouldn’t have heard anything at all! The Police wouldn’t know where to look for…” She trailed off, not wanting to finish that sentence but I didn’t see any point in trying to spare my own feelings.
“Look for the bodies,” I said. I wasn’t stupid… I knew what the abandoned dolls probably meant.
Ashley gave a grim nod.
“You did what you could,” She said. “That’s all any of us can do.”
“Yeah… I guess…” I said softly, although I couldn’t help but feel like it wasn’t enough. Then again… what would be enough?
“And look on the bright side, you’re not a suspect anymore! So… there’s that!” She tried to force a smile but it seemed hollow.
“Yeah, and whoever the hell’s been doing all of this is still out there,” I said. “I never saw anywhere the dolls could have come from… I never… all I was able to tell the police was that it wasn’t me!”
Ashley’s fake smile faded. She shifted uncomfortably.
“What?” I asked and she sighed.
“Okay… well… that might not be entirely true,” She said. “When I was talking to the police, they asked me if I saw anything strange out at the lighthouse over the past few years. Something that might be connected to the dolls and… I dunno, maybe it was nothing but I remembered something.”
“Wait, really?” I asked, leaning in a little closer.
“Okay so, it could be nothing!” Ashley said, “I mean, it’s probably nothing! But every now and then I saw this boat, out on the water. It wasn’t all that big. Gunmetal gray, kinda boxy looking. I usually saw it early in the morning. It only really popped up once every month or so but it was out there pretty frequently. And… look, maybe I’m just making a connection that isn’t really there, but sometimes I thought I saw him throwing something into the water. I always figured that the guy was just out there fishing… but with this stuff about the dolls…”
My stomach turned.
“You think it was him?” I asked.
“I don’t know,” Ashley said. “But the police asked if I remembered anything and that’s what I remembered!”
She took a sip of her coffee, her brow furrowed as she did.
“Maybe it’s nothing,” She said.
And maybe it was… I hoped it might be.
***
When it was time to rotate back to the lighthouse, I was almost afraid to go. I was even more afraid that Ashley and Gideon wouldn’t be there with me, but they were. Our first few days back were quiet and almost blissfully uneventful. We did our maintenance, we tended the light and we kept to ourselves. In the evenings, I baked bread while Gideon read and Ashley worked on her latest stained glass project and if ever any of us needed to go down to the beach, I let one of them do it.
I didn’t think I could handle finding another doll, knowing what it would probably mean.
For two weeks, we just sort of existed… until the morning where Ashley saw the boat again.
I’d been asleep when I heard her yelling, and coming down the stairs.
“Gideon! Steve, get on the radio!” She called.
I sat up, groggy and only half conscious as she burst into my bedroom.
“What’s going on?” I asked.
“The boat,” She replied, a grave look in her eye and it took me a moment to realize what she meant.
Gideon had just barely poked his head out of his bedroom when I ran out. Ashley was already heading back out the door, a pair of binoculars in hand while I got on the radio to call the coast guard. I saw Gideon barreling down the stairs past me, running out the door after Ashley to watch the boat.
“This is Everfolk Point Lighthouse,” I said into the radio. “Calling in regarding a suspicious watercraft.”
I told them everything, before switching out with Gideon when he came back inside so I could see the boat for myself.
The gunmetal gray boat sat below the rocky cliffs in the distance, although seemed to be already moving away. Ashley offered me the binoculars and I took them, staring out at the distant boat.
Behind the wheel, I could see a man. He looked to be somewhere in his forties, with a thin scuff and dead eyes. He stared vacantly ahead, not even noticing us as he passed. I noted every detail of his face… knowing that I may need to identify him again.
He’d made it a good distance away from the cliffs when we saw the coast guards' ships arriving and as they boarded him, I felt a quiet sense of relief wash over me.
If this was the man… then they’d gotten him.
***
We heard nothing from the coast guard or the police over the next few days, although once my rotation ended and I made it back home, I heard plenty both on the local news and through a friend of mine who’d married a cop.
The man on that boat was identified as Brian Ligon. Apparently, he lived in a small cottage, outside of a town several kilometers down the coast from our lighthouse. And while they found no bodies in that cottage, they clearly found enough to arrest him.
“The way I heard it, the guy was completely nuts!” My friend said, “Soon as they booked him, he’d started screaming and ranting about how he had to kill those kids… how he was actually a good person and he had to ‘feed something’.” She’d shaken her head in disgust, “This is why I never ask about these things. It just makes me sad!”
“Well… I appreciate you asking for me,” I said.
My friend took a sip of her coffee, giving a frustrated sigh.
“Supposedly, he was throwing those dolls into the ocean because he believed their souls lived inside of them, and were feeding something in the water or something like that… either way it’s crazy.”
“Crazy…” I agreed, although my mind wandered back to the teeth marks I’d seen on some of the dolls.
I tried not to think too hard about it.
I read somewhere that Ligon was found dead in his cell the other night… and I can’t pretend that I don’t find the news of his death a little relieving. It’s clear to me that he was a monster… and that there are parts of this story that I do not want to or need to know. I’ve told myself that I won’t pry any further for the sake of my own mental health… I have enough nightmares about the dolls as it is now and there’s a very large part of me that just wants to forget that any of this ever happened.
But the questions still gnaw at me all the same.
Ligon was probably crazy… and when he said that he believed he was feeding something in the ocean, those were probably little more than the words of a deeply disturbed individual. But I can’t forget the teeth marks I saw in the plastic flesh of some of those dolls. I know it’s probably nothing, logically it has to be nothing!
And as I sit here tonight, staring at the only doll I have left, the first one I took from the beach, I can’t help but look at those old scars in her flesh and wonder.

2023.03.29 07:31 Ubud_bamboo_ninja This is a real alien and he is listening right now
Consciousness is the alien race that has conquered us. But when I say "us," I mean the material world of our reality, and when I say "alien," I mean consciousness as a unique phenomenon outside of this reality.
Choanoflagellata, the early particles of life 4.6 billion years ago, literally decided by their own choice whether they wanted to be single-celled or multicellular. They already had a god consciousness inside, but they just didn't have complex enough bodies and tools to express it! They couldn't build a McDonald's and sit inside crying about a lost boyfriend.
And what all life has been doing all these years is stubbornly pumping itself up to get more consciousness inside more and more complex organic machines!
Consciousness exists everywhere in the universe, in the form of simple amino acids or as very complicated systems like us people on Earth. So we are here, basically, as a shiny iPhone XXX of God's edition, a perfect powerful meat machine with brains, hands, complex behavior, and psychology - all that consciousness has been dreaming of for the last 4.6 billion years! It's a great deal; I bet those guys from another dimension who use consciousness as a VR in our reality paid a lot of money for it...if they exist.
Even the architecture of consciousness in a human head is definitely divided into sharp sectors, such as the subconsciousness, multiple personalities that form a main character and defeated others, and an "inner voice," a clear ego - the watcher that sits there and eats all the emotions, trending the fresh ones. All of this just marks out that consciousness is really a slaveholder, a 4D prick that uses our harmless 3D souls to play his wicked game.
Fuck, I hate consciousness! As a true piece of reality, a member of the 3D community, I feel highly violated by it! Yes, it makes me feel great sometimes, but mostly, all that the darkness around us represents and brings only suffering and entropy. Please be aware.

2023.03.29 05:23 pr1tce the 2023 Tincaps (headlined by the Padres top prospect, Jackson Merrill)
2023.03.29 03:20 grammar_jew666 My brother died Wednesday
My brother passed away at 24 years old early Wednesday morning/late Tuesday night. I don’t want to share the details, but he basically had a drug overdose unintentionally.
He suffered with drug addiction issues and severe mental health problems. Borderline personality, schizo type personality disorder, anxiety/depression, etc.
He suffered through so much in this life but under all of his issues that made him a hard person to deal with, he was the most amazing and kindhearted person. He was so selfless and all he wanted was to give to other people. I always thought he didn’t have many friends, but I reached out on his discord to make sure his online friends knew about it, and their responses were so much more than I would’ve imagined. They made a discord channel just for him and the words they are sharing are beautiful. Some of them were his best friends for yeaaaars.
One person beautifully said “his heart was so big and full he often didn’t save enough love for himself. He shined so incredibly bright that he had to absorb so much darkness to compensate”
I wish he knew how much everyone loved him.
Our local community have been the best supporters and raised over $25,000 for our family to cover funeral costs and medical bills.
He was such a protective older brother and just wanted the best for me and my two younger sisters. I miss the conversations we would have.
I feel terrible because there is someone who lives locally who he has known since childhood that he hadn’t spoken to or been close to for years. Just a few weeks ago they started reconnecting and even got close. My brother told me he was really enjoying the time they hung out together and even considered him a best friend. My brother even rode a bike and we heard him laughing when they got back. my brother hadn’t laughed like that in years. They were supposed to hang out on Tuesday and his friend canceled and it’s been really hard on him knowing they could’ve hung out one last time and maybe it would’ve changed the decisions made that night.
My brother has always been up and down in terms of his stability, and sometimes he will be great and some days he will be very suicidal. It was tricky to balance his medication because he would be stable and then take too many and run out for the month sometimes only a week in.
However his last week or so on this Earth he was so optimistic about life which makes it that much harder to deal with the loss. He was so excited to get a job that he walked for hours along the main road and applied to everything he could. He was excited to start training to be an EMT as that has been something he was dreaming to achieve for years. I don’t care if you’re religious or not but I do believe we were given that last week of happiness so he could go out not having suffered. I also believe that regardless of what comes after death, he is in relief. Not having to deal with his mental illnesses anymore and being able to be just himself.
It was very hard to wake up at 3 am Wednesday morning and see the fire trucks outside my window flashing. It’s not the first time we had to call them for an overdose but this time I just knew. My parents said he must’ve been gone immediately after taking what he took, but it took hours to determine if an ambulance was needed.
I wasn’t here for this part but my parents said they thought he was just out like a light because that’s what would normally happen. Then he was snoring with these horrible sounds and they called a nurse who said it was probably ok, but turned out he was aspirating. They took his blood pressure and when nothing showed up on it they called an ambulance.
I woke up and ran to the hallway and saw them doing cpr on my brother. They were mentioning no pulse and I already knew. They moved him to a gurney and he had foam and vomit coming out of his mouth. I believe that he was unconscious through it all so I hope he didn’t suffer.
My mom went to the hospital after them and after trying all they could to revive him, they called his time of death around 4:11 am.
The funeral was Thursday as in my religion we bury the dead very quickly. It was so hard knowing my brothers body was feet away from me in that casket but just as a body. Not as the person who would force me to hug him and talk to me about life.
Burying your older brother or son is not something any family should have to do. Especially my 13 and 18 year old sisters. I’m 22.
I wish he had an easier life as this life wasn’t fair to him.
I love you Aaron and may you rest in peace.

2023.03.29 01:39 Kingjuke24 [Rodrigue] Rams star DL Aaron Donald had tightrope surgery earlier this year after suffering a season-ending high ankle sprain in week 12, per multiple sources. Donald is already back on his feet and a full go for offseason workouts. He just hosted a youth camp in Watts.
2023.03.29 01:38 butcher_of_the_world The trans shooting was a setup..Open your eyes 👀!
2023.03.29 00:52 MarvDStrummer Do you think Scott Pilgrim would take down all the assassins in the first 2 No More Heroes Games?
Making the obvious clear, Travis would completely solo the entire verse of Scott Pilgrim if the Exes are in their way out for his ass(he only would find trouble fighting Tod and Lucas), would spare Knives and Mr. Chow for comprehend why they are attacking him.
But, for Scott, i think he could almost solo the entire assassin verse of NMH 1 & 2(the ones in TSA are video game characters and in 3 are fucking aliens), so yeah, i don't think is fair to make Scott fighting those others.
But in my head the ones Scott could solo and probably have an hilarious dialogue are:
•NMH
-Death Metal: Scott Stomps
-Dr. Peace: Scott Stomps(the mf is faster enough to react at Mr. Chow and Roxy's Attacks!)
-Shinobu: Scott Mid Diff(Shinobu is definitely a better ninja than Roxy, but Scott is also very fast and durable as fuck, he just only has to dodge as much he can Shinobu's fast slashes)
-Destroyman: Scott Solos(Scott for being an equally dork like Travis would probably fall in Destroyman's Bullshit but still prevailing easily on him)
-Holly Summers: Scott Solos(Being attacked by Robots or Cyborgs with explosives are just a Friday to Scott, but, he would have to be careful with Holly's Battle IQ in the fight)
-Letz Shake: Scott Solos(as much Scott can be in the air and hit the surface of Letz Shake's Machine, it's over)
-Harvey Moisewitchz Voladarski: Scott Mid Diff(Harvey is a magician, so he confusing Scott with his tricks could secure the upperhand, but if Scott can catch him and apply pressure without any room for tricks, Harvey is done.)
-Speed Buster: Scott Mid Diff (Speed Buster can't fight, she only have her giant laser and is far away from you, Scott only need to be quick and careful to don't be hit so many times by the laser and he finishes her)
-Bad Girl: Scott High Diff(Probably the scariest and most durable fighter in the entire NMH franchise, this bitch is pretty damn strong and skilled with the bat and has a berserker rage alongside her that don't let her die instantly even with fatal wounds, Scott would have to punch her really really hard to don't let her live or finish her the fastest he could, he's far more durable than her but not quite blood thirsty)
-Jeane: Jeane High Diff(She has a very low durability in comparisons to the other bosses in the first game, but BOY, this girl not only is far stronger than Bad Girl, but she's way faster and punches REALLY HARD and the fact that she, different from Scott that is only a street fighter, is far better trained than him, she may not quite strong like him, but from what she has of strength and far better fighting skills, she would prevail against our hero).
-Henry Cooldown: Henry No Diff(I'm sorry Scott, but you're fighting Travis's Vergil that not only is an skilled sword duelist, but durable as hell and incredible agile, Scott just can't compare to fight Henry in a fair fight, he's just way ahead Scott's League).
•NMH2:
-Skelter Helter: Scott Solos(Scott would win this one way easier than Death Metal's Fight and probably would want to take Skelter Helter's Buster Sword Lightsaber and Exaggerated Final Fantasy Gun Prototype, because Scott is a FF Fan)
-Nathan Copeland: Scott Solos(Again, fighting robots and cyborgs are just a Friday to Scott)
-Charlie MacDonald: Honestly....i dunno how Scott could fight this guy considering that he uses a fucking giant robot for that, so...yeah, i dunno.
-Matt Helms: Scott Mid Diff(the dude is a fucking ghost and Jason archetype, Scott could win the fight way easier than Travis did, but not kill Helms)
-New Destroyman: Scott Solos(Robots/Cyborgs are kinda of a joke in Scott Pilgrim tbh)
-Million Gunman: Scott Solos(Guns are pointless against Scott)
-Ryuuji: Scott Mid Diff(Ryuuji have a great amount of stamina with him and his Beam Spear is pretty damn powerful with him summoning a giant energy dragon in the middle of the fight and just being an overall skilled samurai warrior, but with Scott's speed and strength, he can take down Ryuuji relatively easy).
-Kimmy Howell: Scott Solos(right, that she is a better fighter than him, she's kinda the Knives in her universe, but she's very immature and not quite skilled even being a prodigy, but Scott could take her down easily).
-Margaret Moonlight: Scott High Diff(This girl is not only a great sniper, but she can fucking teleport and her sniper scythes can be letal blades as well, even if Scott is very fast and durable, this fight could take an amount of time because she can teleport to a good distance to find a weak point on Scott and take him down, but, Scott is durable as hell and would probably wait until she's without bullets and defense with her blades to give the finishing blow.)
-Captain Vladmir: Scott High Diff(The old man has Cold War Equipments protecting him and a very vast offensive power set of tools to use against Scott, being his giant laser from the sky and shield, Scott only had to be careful with the laser and broke Vladimir's deffense and finish him with a single punch in the helmet.)
-Alice Twilight: Scott High Diff(Not only she has plenty of Beam Katanas with her, Beam Katanas are most likely stronger than SP's swords, so yeah, she's pretty much General Grievous and Doc Ock, she has a balanced Offense/Defensive Power with her and can make a lot of pression on Scott to make him being away as much as he can to don't be sliced in pieces by her, the only way to Scott finish her is with a fast hit that probably cuts her head off, because he's way faster than her but can't do a lot of pressure on a woman that is fucking grievous spiderman trope villain.)
-Jasper Batt Jr.: Scott High Diff(This MF can change the anatomy of his body in the two different forms, being a fucking bodybuilder with teleport and instant stun punches, he's pretty much Lucas Lee but with a double size of him and Roxy's Speed, Scott would have to unlock the greatest luck in the universe to defeat the second form of Jasper, the third one he uses any of his swords and dodges his predictable attacks to cut him off easily tbh, it's the most boring phase of his boss fight, but it's the less stressful).
So, that's are my takes on Scott on NMH Universe, what do you guys think?

2023.03.29 00:31 PokeMixelecti If Sora, Donald and Goofy were in the Star Wars Universe
| What I believe is challenging for me, before I even started with Sora, is imagining how the three would appear in the Star Wars universe. Would they show up as themselves or as one of the other alien species? How would they dress? So far, as I research the alien species and lore, like Genndy Tartakovsky's Clone Wars, the Star Wars characters have worn vests, armor, and most prominently, robes. Because of this, I based Sora's attire on both a Jedi Master and a Padawan, mostly the robes Stellan Gios and other characters from Star Wars: The High Republic wore. Although I depicted him as a human during the design phase, there are other species in the SW universe that are similar to humans. The Epicanthix and the Atoan were two that drew my attention. The Atoan had thousands of smaller hearts equally spread throughout their bodies, from feet to fingertips, whereas the Epicanthix can protect their brains from Force-assisted mental trickery, influence, control, and mind reading. Sora did have three, four, or perhaps five hearts so far in the series. I wouldn't care what they wanted them to be if this idea happened. Sora is an Atoan in my eyes since having multiple hearts makes sense. I had intended to design Goofy as a Wookie or a Gungan, but I felt that I should depict him in a different way, thus he is now a Dug. Since The Dug's face resembles that of Goofy, I took away his large ears and black nose and redesigned his entire body so that he could stand on his arms and had feet that resembled his hands. And Donald is last. To make fun of his stature, at first I wanted him to turn into an Ewok, but I would depict him as a Toydarian instead. In terms of anatomy, the species basically resembles Donald due to its webbed feet, bluish skin, and bird-like appearance. As a result, I gave him wings, changed his beak to a snout, and gave him Star Wars-inspired clothing. Finding a fitting alien design for Sora during the creation of my KH + SW artwork was challenging, so I decided to make him an Atoan. However, I gave him four additional alien identities in this piece of art piece: a Zeltron, an Iridonian Zabrak, a Chiss, and a Nautolan.

2023.03.29 00:15 ForeverFinalGirl Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers Review
I remember watching Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and not liking it very much. I know it’s the sixth movie in a franchise and one shouldn’t expect much. But with this rewatch I think I like it more now than before. I mean, come on, Paul Rudd is in it. It’s not THAT bad.
PLOT
It’s been six years since the events of the last movie’s events. No one has seen Michael or Jamie. Now Jamie has given birth to a baby son. And she must not only get away from Michael but also the cult that has held her captive.
MY THOUGHTS
There are a number of kills in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, and they are pretty decent as well. I think Jamie’s death is pretty good. A corn thresher? Hmmm. Also, good riddance to John. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. He didn’t need his head, he wasn’t using it anyways. LOL.
I think the acting was kind of okay I guess. Not the greatest. We have Paul Rudd (known for primarily comedies like Clueless, Anchorman, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Antman) playing Tommy Doyle, the young boy Laurie was babysitting years before. He’s a little bit of a loner who thinks Michael will be back. Marianne Hagan (known for Stake Land, Dead Calling, Last Kind Words, and Bread Crumbs) plays Kara Strode, a single mother who has moved back home with her family. Who just happens to live in the old Michael Myers home.
We also have Mitchell Ryan (known for Dark Shadows, Judge Dredd, and countless tv shows) plays Dr. Winn, a former coworker of Loomis as well as the leader of the Thorn cult. Donald Pleasence (Halloween 1-2, 4-5, Dracula *1979, Monster Club, Escape from New York, Alone in the Dark, and countless other movies and tv shows) plays Dr. Loomis, a psychiatrist who tried to treat and eventually try to stop Michael from killing.
And finally Kim Darby (known for Teen Wolf 2, episodes of the X-Files, Dark Realm, and The Evil Within) plays Debra, Kara’s meek mother. I need to mention J.C. Brandy (known for Kindred the Embraced, Femme Fatales, and Haunted: 333) plays Jamie Lloyd, Laurie’s daughter and Michael’s niece. I mention her because, according to Danielle Harris, she was treated badly during the shooting of the movie because she took over the role of Jamie. Which is a shame.
We start on a dark and stormy night where a very pregnant Jamie Lloyd is in labor. We find out her and Michael were captured six years earlier and she was now pregnant with Michael’s child. After giving birth, Michael escapes and starts killing everyone. Jamie gets her baby and escapes into the night, with Michael hot on her trail. Michael eventually catches up with Jamie and kills her in a brutal way, but the baby isn’t with her. Before her death she called a radio station asking for help and that Michael was back. A now adult Tommy hears the pleas and eventually finds the baby, hidden. He’s been waiting for Michael to come back.
Meanwhile, a retired Dr. Loomis has a visitor a Dr. Wynn. Who wants Loomis to return to Haddonfield. He doesn’t want to but Loomis hears the radio plea and agrees to return. Now, the people of Haddonfield don’t agree. They are trying to move on. The town had banned Halloween and this year was restarting it by having DJ Barry Simms hosting.
Tommy befriends neighbor young Danny Stroud, whose family lives next door in the old Michael Myers house. Poor Danny has been having visions of someone telling him to kill his family. Despite Tommy warning the family to leave, Michael kills most of them.
Kara, Danny and Jamie’s baby end up at the sanitarium where the cult is preparing Danny to kill the baby and his mom so the curse can pass on to Danny. Tommy shows up to rescue them when Michael goes on one of his killing sprees, killing the cult members except Dr. Wynn who is the leader of the cult.
Tommy, Kara, Danny, and the baby leave while Dr. Loomis goes back in and we assume he dies.
Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers has its issues (the whole Thorn Cult thing bugs me), but I’m liking the vibe: the music and atmosphere. The more I watch it, the more I like it. I also like the storyline of how Haddenfield bans Halloween but now we have teens trying to celebrate Halloween again. Even the trashy talk show guy. Plus, I dig the kills. You can’t go wrong with a bunch of kills.
As far as negatives, I don’t think this whole occult/cult storyline really fits in with the franchise. Or maybe how they execute it. I feel like they add a lot of different plotlines but they drop them or forget about them.
Overall I think, despite its faults, I think Halloween: Curse of Michael Myers is better than Halloween 5. Watch if you’re a completionist or even if you want to see Paul Rudd’s first theatrical release.
And now for your Forever Final Girl Exclusive…Did you know?:
Paul Rudd’s film debut.
The producers of the movie wanted Brian Andrews to reprise his role as Tommy Doyle from the original Halloween. But he didn’t have an agent and they couldn’t find him. He’s stated since that he regrets missing the opportunity.
Danielle Harris wanted to continue her role as Jamie, but turned it down when Dimension Films refused to pay her the $5,000 she wanted. Harris stated in an interview that when her agent learned that filmmakers were looking to cast an actress who was at least 18 or older to play Jamie in this film, she was only 17 but wanted to do the movie enough that she got herself legally emancipated from her parents at the suggestion of filmmakers so that she could work longer hours without having to go to school. Harris spent time and thousands of dollars on the legal process, but ultimately turned down the film due to her own dissatisfaction with her character’s story and Dimension’s refusal to pay her a salary that would have recovered her legal fees.
Donald Pleasence died while reshoots were being done so they had to use a body double for his reshoots.
Most of the cast and crew disowned this movie. On the Halloween: 25 Years of Terror (2006) DVD, they stated that the studio, producers, and director interfered and argued to the point of ridiculousness which resulted in a very poorly directed and edited film.
Many of the crew have gone on the record to state that director Joe Chappelle told them from the outset that he didn’t like the Halloween films, and was only involved in this project because it got him a three-picture deal with Miramax.
Many of Donald Pleasence’s scenes were edited out of the film because Joe Chappelle found him “boring”.
In the original draft of the movie, when John came home from work, he turned on the TV and the scene of the boy dying from the mask in Halloween III: Season of the Witch (1982) was shown.
Dr. Loomis and Michael share no scenes together in either version of the movie, making this the only film in the franchise to feature both characters but never have them interact.
The room used in the sanitarium in which Kara is contained and escapes from is numbered 237, the same number as the infamous room from The Shining.
The Producer’s Cut contains a lot less gore than the theatrical cut

2023.03.29 00:11 ForeverFinalGirl Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers (1995) [slasher]
I remember watching Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers and not liking it very much. I know it’s the sixth movie in a franchise and one shouldn’t expect much. But with this rewatch I think I like it more now than before. I mean, come on, Paul Rudd is in it. It’s not THAT bad.
PLOT
It’s been six years since the events of the last movie’s events. No one has seen Michael or Jamie. Now Jamie has given birth to a baby son. And she must not only get away from Michael but also the cult that has held her captive.
MY THOUGHTS
There are a number of kills in Halloween: The Curse of Michael Myers, and they are pretty decent as well. I think Jamie’s death is pretty good. A corn thresher? Hmmm. Also, good riddance to John. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. He didn’t need his head, he wasn’t using it anyways. LOL.
I think the acting was kind of okay I guess. Not the greatest. We have Paul Rudd (known for primarily comedies like Clueless, Anchorman, Ghostbusters: Afterlife, and Antman) playing Tommy Doyle, the young boy Laurie was babysitting years before. He’s a little bit of a loner who thinks Michael will be back. Marianne Hagan (known for Stake Land, Dead Calling, Last Kind Words, and Bread Crumbs) plays Kara Strode, a single mother who has moved back home with her family. Who just happens to live in the old Michael Myers home.
We also have Mitchell Ryan (known for Dark Shadows, Judge Dredd, and countless tv shows) plays Dr. Winn, a former coworker of Loomis as well as the leader of the Thorn cult. Donald Pleasence (Halloween 1-2, 4-5, Dracula *1979, Monster Club, Escape from New York, Alone in the Dark, and countless other movies and tv shows) plays Dr. Loomis, a psychiatrist who tried to treat and eventually try to stop Michael from killing.

2023.03.28 22:25 Adomanzius Top FIVE ways to *see* and talk to REAL GHOSTS #5 = OUIJA!!
Our paranormal Youtube channel hadn’t taken off as well as we’d hoped. We had made a dozen or so videos, the biggest one garnering just over a thousand views - hardly the next Ghostly Encounters. Ash was the first to suggest that we try something new to garner more viewers. I wasn’t too keen on the idea, but I wasn’t fond of our viewership either, so I agreed to test it out.
The level of skepticism between our group varied. Aaron was our main camera guy, and definitely one to get scared. I’m not sure of what he was scared of, for he didn’t seem to believe in any of it, yet he yelped each time he heard a scratch or a knock. Ash was always stone-cold when shit hit the fan, but ironically she really did believe in the paranormal. On the other hand, me and Matt were your average spook-nerds, or slightly edgier adrenaline junkies, hellraised by Pinhead, and baptized by Pennywise the Clown.
We had planned to do a series regarding the most well known techniques to communicate with the spirit world, and that’s how we ended up with…
Top FIVE ways to *see* and talk to REAL GHOSTS (#5 = OUIJA!!)
We pulled the five subjects out of our asses, pretending like there was some statistic which had measured the frequency of ghost-hunting techniques. Ouija boards seemed like the perfect place to start - everyone knows what they are, they’re sold in toy shops, and Hollywood really loves the ouija-trope in horror movies.
Five videos were made. None of them were published. I’m the only one left of our group, and I want to share this story as a warning. If you open a door, you never know what you’ll find on the other side.
- #5 OUIJA -
We got ourselves one of those cheap, mass-produced boards from the store, as well as some candles for ambiance. The board looked great; it had fake stains, old-timey letters, the sun and moon printed on the corners - the whole shabang. For filming purposes, Aaron’s place was the perfect fit, although he wasn’t too happy about it - I mean, we were gonna do a ouija board session at his house. After some convincing, he relented, mostly glad that he wouldn’t have to lug his equipment around.
One Friday we gathered at his house in the evening, ready to shoot. We had pizza beforehand, talking through how we’d shoot the video, going through some lines we wanted to incorporate. A little before midnight we sat down around the board, lit a few candles around us, and placed the planchette on top of the board. Aaron stood further away, readying the first shot. Ash sat to my left, and Matt to my right. We nodded to each other, and then looked up at Aaron, who gave a big thumbs-up behind the camera. Below is a transcript of the footage shot that night. For context, my name is Micah.
-
Micah: We’re gathered here tonight to try out our first method of talking to those beyond: the ouija board.
Ash: It’s almost midnight, we’ve got our board, planchette, and ceremonial candles all ready. Once we hit midnight, we will begin our first trial of contact. We have three people for the seance, which should be enough energy for us to find at least one spirit we can talk to.
Micah: And remember to like and subscribe, and tell us in the comments section your experience with ouija boards.
[video cuts]
Micah: It’s officially midnight. Time to begin. Now let’s put our index fingers on the planchette. Everyone ready?
Matt: Ready.
Ash: Let’s do this.
[Matt, Micah, and Ash place their fingers on the wooden planchette]
Micah: Is there anyone here with us?
[silence]
Micah: Is there anyone here who would like to talk to us? We come in peace.
[silence]
Matt: Really? We come in peace? I thought we were the ones who should be afraid.
[video cuts]
Ash: Let’s try this again. Is there anyone here?
[planchette moves over ‘yes’]
[Aaron gasps]
Ash: Can you tell us your name?
[silence]
Matt: Are you friendly?
[planchette moves over ‘no’]
Ash: What do you want?
[planchette begins spelling]
Micah: L… I… F, E. Life. Is that what you want?
Matt: I’m sorry to tell you, but if you’re dead, we can’t bring you back to life.
[Ash chuckles]
[planchette begins to move]
Micah: What’s it doing?
Matt: It’s just circling.
Ash: No, it's more like an infinity symbol. I’ve tattooed a bunch of those.
[planchette begins gaining speed]
Matt: Or just an eight. Wait. Cut. Who’s moving it? I don’t know if any of our viewers care about a planchette taking laps.
Micah (looking at Matt): I thought it was you.
Matt: Ash?
Ash: I swear it’s not me.
[video cuts]
Micah: How long are we going to keep our fingers on it? It’s been spinning for like five minutes straight. If it’s not answering our questions and just going around, maybe we should quit and try again.
Matt: Yeah. Let’s do that. Ash?
Ash: Sure. Spirit, we say goodbye unto thee. We thank you for your time, and wish for you to leave now.
[planchette spins faster]
Ash: Goodbye!
[planchette moves over ‘no’ and stops]
Micah: We said GOOD-BYE!
Ash: I did not say goodbye.
Matt: But you just did. Right before Micah.
Ash’taroth: I do not want to say goodbye.
Micah: Ash, you okay?
[video cuts]
[camera points at asphalt, crickets sound in the distance]
Aaron: What the FUCK? What’s wrong with her?
Micah: I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t fucking know. Matt, you okay?
Matt: Yeah, yeah… I’m fine.
Aaron: No, SERIOUSLY, what happened? One moment she’s saying goodbye and the next she’s floating in the fucking air?
Micah: We need to go back there.
Aaron: We’re calling the police first. I’m not going back there without someone holding a fucking gun.
Micah: Jesus, Aaron! What do you want, someone to fucking shoot her?
Matt: That wasn’t her.
Aaron: Matt’s right. She doesn’t crawl on fucking ceilings, does she? Ash doesn’t spontaneously crack open her jaws and open up her mouth like that, does she? Or is that just something she does when I’m not around?
Micah: Fine, let’s call the cops.
Aaron: I’m sorry. I’m just… fucked. I hope she’s alright.

Ash, or whatever had become of her, had chased us out of the house. She crawled and bit and snarled. We ran as fast as we could. That's all we could do and feel at the moment, just run. The cops took us in for questioning. Her jaw and body were found in different rooms. They said that her body looked like it had been dead for weeks.
Her family held a closed casket funeral three weeks later. Her dad almost banned us from the ceremony, but her mother insisted we’d be there. It was the first time after her death we'd all been together again.
It was Aaron’s idea to continue the series.
To honor her, as he said.
To try and reach her.

2023.03.28 21:08 caitiep92 The Mysterious Murder of David Cox, Medfield Massachusetts, January 5, 1994
David Cox was born on November 27, 1966, in Massachusetts and after graduating from high school joined the Marines because he wanted to be part of the "proud and the few." And by 1986, David was stationed in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, a Naval base that the United States wouldn't give up when Castro came to power in the 1950s. Tensions were still very high, so the base was on constant alert. But soon David saw a problem--a fellow Marine named William Alvarado had written to his senator about Marine misconduct on the base, something about shots being fired
into Cuba.
When Cox and other Marines found out about what Alvarado had done, believing he was a "malingerer," Cox and some other Marines decided to preform a "Code Red," (a brutal hazing ritual) on Alvarado. The platoon leader didn't give an outright order, but an implied one, so the Marines went forward with the Code Red. So late on Saturday night in July 1986, the ritual began. According to the
Unsolved Mysteries reenactment (but I can't find any other sources on what the Code Red entailed), the Code Red involved blindfolding Alvarado, stuffing a rag in his mouth, dragged him out of bed, and began beating up. Most of the beating seems to have happened in the bathroom.
Once in the bathrooms, David and the other Marines began shaving Alvarado's head--but David noticed something was wrong. Apparently Alvarado inhaled the rag and could no longer breathe, so David called off the attack. When the Marines removed the rag and Alvarado lost consciousness, they went to go get help for him. And although Alvarado recovered after being transferred to a hospital in Miami, David and the other Marines were now faced with charges--attempted murder being the most serious charge.
David's lawyer wanted David to take an administrative discharge from the Marines because David had confessed and Alvarado was pretty beat up. This discharge would be less than honorable, but it was better than a court marshal, but David declined, stating he and the other Marines had been given an implied order from their commander. But David wanted to fight the charges...and his gamble was a success, he was acquitted of aggravated battery (which had been reduced from attempted murder). However, most of the other Marines involved accepted the charges and a less than honorable discharge.
David would complete his service after the court marshal, another two years, and would eventually be honorable discharge in August 1989. After leaving the Marines, David bounced around from job to job, like landscaping and garbage man, but he wanted something more permanent. However, three years later, in 1992, Aaron Sorkin's movie
A Few Good Men was released. David was shocked when he saw the movie--it was his story (along with the other Marines) and no one had asked him about it. According to David's girlfriend Elaine Tinsley:
he later became angry, realizing that the movie company was making millions off of his story. He claimed that if it were not for him, the story never would have existed in the first place. David was also upset that the movie was inaccurate, claiming the Marine had died instead of just being injured.
Because of his anger, David went on several local radio shows and newspapers to talk about the real experience, wanting to "set the record straight." David also contacted the lawyer who'd represented him in the case, asking him what he could do about it. Around this time, David's fellow Marines were planning a lawsuit against the production company, and David was deciding whether or not to be involved in it. However, nothing seems to have come from these interviews.
By early 1994, David and Elaine had moved in together in Natick, Massachusetts. The two had a rabbit and David had recently been working at UPS, hoping for a permanent position with them. On the evening of January 4, David went out for drinks with his brother Steve. Steve said everything seemed okay, but David seemed "reserved." The next morning, David was having back problems, so he'd spent the night on the couch and was waiting to hear from UPS about that permanent job. Elaine left for work at about 8:30 that morning. At around noon, Elaine called home to check on David, but no one answered the phone. However, there was a message on the machine from David's supervisor at UPS, saying that David had gotten that full time gig. Elaine called again at 1pm, and UPS had called the house again, so David was still not home.
By the time Elaine got home at 5:30pm, David didn't appear to be home. But David's truck was still in the driveway, but every door in the couple's apartment was open, their pet rabbit was hopping around when it was normally kept in the laundry room, and some glasses seemed to be tipped over. When Elaine checked David's truck, there was an uncashed paycheck in the glove box, as well as his gun. But Elaine didn't want to worry right away, but David hadn't called, and didn't report him missing until the next day.
The police didn't take David's odd disappearance seriously at first, they thought that he had run off, and didn't even interview his neighbors or search the neighborhood for a few days. But Elaine and David's family didn't buy the running off theory, knowing that he wouldn't just up and leave, especially without bringing a paycheck. However, they couldn't think of anyone who'd hurt David either.
Three months later, in April 1994, David's body was found in a wooded area near the Charles River near Medfield, Massachusetts. His body was buried underneath some branches a mile from the nearest road, he'd been shot 4 times. This made police believe that David had been marched into the woods where he was found. This may have been difficult because David was wearing sneakers, not boots. He was found about five miles from his home and appeared to be wearing the same clothes as the day he vanished. However, one item of clothing made little sense: David was wearing his Marine camouflage jacket, something he didn't really wear out of the house.
It's unclear why David was killed, he obviously went with someone from his home. However, there wasn't really struggle (one or two broken glasses and all the doors being open doesn't scream struggle to me), but maybe left in a hurry. His family questioned why he was wearing his military jacket--something he apparently never wore and footwear not appropriate for the weather. The place where David was found was between two gun ranges, so gunfire wouldn't have been unusual and David seemed to be killed execution style.
There are two main theories in David's case: that someone involved with the movie
A Few Good Men involved or David knew about some illegal activity at UPS. The
A Few Good Men theory involves David's outspoken behavior after the movie came out...his family thought he talked about things too much that may have been dangerous which provoked a fellow angry Marine. However, by the time David died, the movie was two years old and already out of theatres. The UPS theory came from David's brother Steve, who said that David told him that something "nefarious," was going on, so like stolen packages or something. Either way, whatever happened to David happened between 8:30 and noon on January 4.
