Foreword

When I wrote the foreword for this books predecessor in 2018, Mr. Lancaster had documented Norman the doll for well over a year.

Stephen and I met nearly thirteen years ago at a paranormal conference in Virginia. Our friendship blossomed over the years as we helped one another out with various undisclosed cases and projects. One project in particular was of course the Norman case, or as Stephen initially dubbed it, the evil objet dart .

Haunted objects have always been a fascination of mine, so when I was approached by a credible researcher such as Stephen with a potentially haunted doll, my ears perked up. A haunted doll is typically a homemade, handmade, or even a manufactured doll or stuffed toy that is reportedly possessed by an evil entity or cursed in some fashion.

The origin of haunted dolls dates back to ancient Egypt where the enemies of Ramesses III used wax figures and images of his likeness to murder him supernaturally. In the present day, the origins of haunted dolls vary. A soul that refused to carry on can sometimes be transferred to an object or what we label as a toy.

Sentimental reasoning or even personal fondness for an item can result in a spirit becoming attached to any particular component. In certain religious sects, it is believed one can bind a spirit to an object, trapping it for timeless existence.

Admittedly, I was skeptical when Stephen initially approached me about the haunted doll. His claims were unrestrained and exceedingly difficult to digest considering I had yet to witness anything to coincide with the subject matter.

I requested to see the surveillance footage and anything else Mr. Lancaster had concerning Norman before I agreed to write the previous foreword and any others that may follow. Upon viewing, I was shocked to see a rarity in the paranormal field. Honestly, the footage of Norman moving his head was one of the best pieces of paranormal evidence in favor of haunted objects existing I had ever seen.

In the most telling video, Norman moves his head and does so in a fashion that is physically impossible. The doll was not manufactured to allow its head to look down. Yet in the video he does. His eyes also turned completely black. This was unsettling and very telling.

The spirit inside of the doll was evil by nature.

I remember viewing this clip dozens of times, and every time I did, chills went down my spine. The amount of intelligence conveyed was surprising at first.

To the highest degree, Mr. Lancaster truly had in his possession one of the most haunted dolls I have ever witnessed in my life. I have followed Stephens research on Norman ever since. But I wasnt the only one. Stephen also sought out the opinion of demonologist, ZoZologist, and innovator Darren Evans.

In 2019, alongside Mr. Lancaster and his wife, Darren would take the research a step forward after conducting a personal communication session with Norman a year after I reviewed the captivating footage. Originally, I was to be there. The three paranormal researchers were in Virginia filming for the Travel Channels A Haunting . I was to be interviewed as well for the show concerning Norman, but scheduling conflicts and health issues prevented me from doing as much.
