Legless Baby Doll Terrorizes Locals

A Dark Corner Vignette - Always Fictional, Somewhat Factual

Dark Corner, SC – Authorities began investigating a complaint made yesterday by Archie Higginbotham that he had been chased out of the woods by a legless baby doll. Higginbotham encountered the baby doll while hunting near Beaver Dam Creek. He reported that the baby doll had no legs, one eye and no hair. Angie Aiken, sometime girlfriend of Higginbotham, stated that he ran out the woods screaming “that baby doll’s got blue lips” before he bolted into her corn crib.

Higginbotham was not the only hunter to encounter the apparition. Big Spud Aiken and his brother Little Spud were hunting in the same area when they saw Higginbotham running. “He looked like the devil himself was chasin’ after him when he ran by us. Then we saw it. A bald headed baby doll that had no hair just a gitten’ it. It flew by, turned its head and winked at us. We were so skeered that we threw our Mason jars at it but it just smacked its lips and kept on after Archie.”

As rumors spread of the sighting, Dr. Theo Dillicious, a professor of blue lights and other woodland ghosts at Dark Corner Upper College, brought his class to visit the scene. After spending a day and a half looking for the baby doll with no success, Dr. Dillicious called off the hunt. When questioned about his failure to sight the doll, he replied, “All we found was an old rusty mash bucket nailed to a tree. I suspect there is more distillery than ghost about this spirit sighting.”
