Eleven days after her death, supernatural events began to occur-marching feet, strange noises, and household objects allegedly flew or levitated. After being placed near the boy, a container of holy water smashed to the ground and a picture of Jesus rattled on the wall, as if being hit from behind. Several reports suggest that Roland tried to contact her spirit with the Ouija board. When Roland was thirteen, she died of multiple sclerosis. It was his Aunt Harriet who introduced him to an Ouija board and it seems they used it on numerous occasions. An only child, Roland depended upon adults in his household as playmates. Roland Doe (a pseudonym) was born 1935 into a German Lutheran family. The general (compiled) story goes something like this: There was a lot of conflicting information concerning the "real life" case and inspiration behind The Exorcist. Personally, I'd never purchase an antique I couldn't touch first but it makes for interesting window shopping. Whether these items are truly haunted or sellers cashing in on the current fascination with "all things haunted" is unknown. Just for fun, I decided to do a search on eBay for "haunted antiques." As of today, there are 521 listed items. Suffice to say, the urn would not be coming home with me that day. I have no idea why it was for sale, nor do I know if it still contained ashes. When I asked the shop owner about it, she told me it was an old burial urn. Once, I picked up a large metal urn that immediately made me feel depressed and sad. I do tend to touch things a lot when I'm perusing, something I wasn't aware of until my daughters pointed it out. There have been antiques I've been immediately drawn to, but there are others that, upon picking them up, I wouldn't take home if the shop owner paid me. I do believe objects can hold onto energy. My husband jokes not to bring back anything haunted. More often than not, I end up "just looking" but there have been several occasions in which something has captured my attention and I must have it.
However, their beauty will also be lost and the hulder transforms into an ugly creature. If a hulder can convince a man to marry them in a church, that tail falls off and they will become human. The only giveaway to their deceptive form is they have a cow or fox-like tail, which they usually keep hidden. It is said they can lure men into caves or forests in order to suck the life from them. They have beautiful voices that mimic wind or water. The hulder are seductive creatures and can easily be mistaken for attractive humans.
