Strikes again

At approximately 1:55 p.m., the Confucius doll was noticed to be turned 180 degrees (facing the wall that my desk sits to which my desk sits adjacent). I am moving the doll back to its normal position now.

The Story of the Confucius Doll

Hello everyone,

Here's the tale of the crazy possessed Confucius doll that haunts my room... I bought two of the warrior dolls in China at a factory that made replicas of the Terra cotta Warriors. I gave one to my brother and kept one for myself to take with me to college. Upon arriving, I set the doll on top of my desk next to my jade Buddha. A month or so later, I noticed that it would move sporadically. Instead of facing outwards, it would turn about 90 degrees and face to the left. At first I thought it was simply someone bumping into my desk and it moving. However, I began to notice that if I turned it back to the normal position and bumped into the desk on purpose, it would not move at all. There are also many cards on top of the desk that do not move. I have now been living at my dorm about 7 months and this has continued to happen. I move it back to the normal position each time and it will simply move at random times to face the left. Two days ago, my roommate and I noticed that it had moved again. We moved it back like we do everyday. Today, however, we were sitting in the room and we realized that it had moved AGAIN, but this time, it was to the right!

Somehow, during these 7 months, we have named the replica the "Confucius Doll." I have created this blog to record the happenings of the doll.

Around 4:15 p.m. today, the doll was turned about 90 degrees to the right. This is the first day of my record.
