I’m sorry to hear about your health problems.
That would be good
OK, you asked for it! This is still ongoing, but it's already complicated and weird enough!
Hi Carl!
Brilliant, thanks!
I have probably neglected quite a few of my correspondents in recent years, please email me and let me know who I should apologise to!
Genetics can result in disparity in size between dogs in the sme litter though. Given that they were the same breed.. litter mates aren't identical twins.
I'm sure you're right!
Obviously there are going to be people who take that view, but having been in extensive contact with the witness for many years, I have to say that her basic story has remained 100% consistent over that period. The problems we had (I think it fair to say) arose through her changing interpretations of what happened that day. But the details have remained unchanged.
After she had been out of touch with me for a couple of years I uploaded my article summarising Doll Feet's experiences, thinking (given those past experiences) that something horrific had happened to her. Then she reappeared on the Forum here and it was clear that something I had said had really upset her, although I still don't quite understand what it was. Our major disagreement was over the two people who had helped her and taken her to the cafe. I thought it was obvious that the nice lady (whose body language changed as they went down to the cafe) and maybe the man, were trying to stop her meeting her boy friend, because they knew that he would be dangerous to her. They planned that he would go to the hotel, get the message saying to meet her at the cafe, find that no cafe existed and maybe get angry and break off their relationship. However her own perceptions told her he was upstairs and she ran up to meet him. (However, she disagreed about that!) Somehow that triggered a series of very scary events eventually ending their relationship. I remember how hard it was trying to work through the Digital Spy site just to download a single item. I presume the posts are still there somewhere, unless she has been able to get them deleted.
Yes, that VHS account was extremely disturbing. Part of Doll Feet's horrendous life.
One of the reasons that Doll Feet and I seemed to get on well was that (as you probably know from some of my posts) I too have had a lot of "weird" experiences, so I had no problem at all accepting her account. Thank goodness none of mine have been as terrifying as hers, even the ones in a haunted house, and my more recent time slip experiences. I could in any case recognise her complete sincerity. Actually I miss being able to talk with someone whom I know would accept my own strange stories!Hi Carl, thank you.
I had wondered if the Digital Spy posts were deleted, but so many people replied to them and quoted them, that I would imagine a moderator would have had to delete all of those too!
Was the Police VHS thing in the collection you have? If not, I am confused as to who posted it or where I read it, but it will only have been at DS or here.
I actually came here this afternoon after leaping from the old Digital Spy threads. So I have read the communications between yourself and DF just today, and admit to having been a little bit shocked when her (late) response to you appeared.
My own opinion? Her accounts 'feel' genuine to me. A well articulated account should not have to dumb itself down to prove authenticity. There is often an overriding opinion that authentic, unexplained phenomena only ever occurs to unsuspecting 'simple folk' of limited intelligence. Problematic in itself!
I had the impression at Digital Spy that Doll Feet was happy to share only brief elements of her experiences in an effort to reduce the chances of derision. She stated this many times throughout the 'Creepy' threads, which possibly irritated some posters, who may have believed that she was teasing them somewhat.
I'm not sure what I make of that, but the details of the cafe experience felt a little too odd for fiction - in fact most of her posts did. The constant withholding might make sense, but for the reader it may provoke doubt. Why post at all? It was an anonymous forum, so what the heck, why not just indulge us? Her choice though, which is fair enough. I also strongly doubt that this has links with psychosis or medication.
I can only conclude that if Doll Feet is authentic, she needs to get in touch with Torchwood, because (and I say this as someone with a very limited interest in UFO phenomena) I am erring on the side of inorganic beings, or aliens
EDITED to add: I have an acquaintance who claims to have experienced a plethora of incredible phenomena. She isn't lying, but something does feel a wee bit off. This doesn't exactly mean that her experiences are untrue, but the sheer amount of them will (understandable) isolate her. I would imagine that this much immersion in the truly weird might have a rather severe isolating effect, soliciting little sympathy from family and friends, regardless their care or concern.
My acquaintances stories are less surreal and articulate than Doll Feet's, and tend to be shorter in duration. Perhaps something that occurs in childhood could make some of us more susceptible? I also thought less timeslip and more....interference of some sort.
Aaah, that's really unfortunate, thanks so much for looking though, much appreciated

Yes, I do see what you mean, and I too feel sympathetic to her experiences. I could not prove to myself that they are authentic, or (equally) find any reason to doubt them. To enter into a long term dialogue with you does add some credibility I must admit, the only other possibility being mental health issues - if we cannot relate to someone's lived experience they must be mentally unsound - again, problematic, both for those genuinely suffering with mental health problems and for those who are accused of it wrongly.
Thank you Enid, that is the one!!
