My Friend Died for using Knotty Stalker Do you ever love someone and wonder what they say about you behind your back? This is a story of how my friend uses the knotty stalker to stalk her crush and get noticed by him. She died after this. ***Disclaimer*** *: This is a work of fiction. Any characters, places, events are a product of author’s imagination. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.* The Knotty Stalker

My name is Denise. I am 25 years old. I have a room mate and a close friend of mine name Janice. We both go to the same University back then. I pretty much knew her since High School. We trusted each other so much that we know each other’s dirty little secrets. Janice had a crush with this guy name Nathan ever since 8th Grade. Nathan happens go to the same University as Janice and Me. We pass through each other every single day. Since Janice and I already looked familiar to Nathan. Nathan would smile every time we meet each other’s eyes. What a coincidence right? No. Actually Janice already knew about this. This whole Nathan thing going to this University and passing through each other is no coincidence. Janice planned all of that, It feels like she was so obsessed with him that the day would cry if she doesn't mention Nathan or see him. One evening, Janice went home late. I asked her where she’ve been and she showed me something that she bought from the store down town. It was just a small doll made out of knots. She told me about this old woman that approach her and convinced her to buy a Doll made out of knot. She was so convinced about what this old woman told her about the knot Doll. One single strand of hair is what she needs and she can see everything that Nathan does. What Nathan secret thoughts and desires. **“Do you actually believe what that old woman told you?”** I asked Janice **“No, but It might work?”** Janice replied. Janice starts to open the product and read the product instruction manual. She unfolds a piece of paper and read it. I took a peak of the letter and read as well.

“Greetings! You’re one of the luckiest costumers that purchased our product “Knotty Stalker”. Do you love someone and wonder what they say about you behind your back? Do you wish listen to every conversation they have with someone? Well wonder no more! Using this fantabulous product, you can keep track of your loved one’s every move, their every words. Behind the greeting was a written Instruction of how this Knotty Stalker product works

Instruction: To get this doll work, all you have to do is to get a single strand of hair from a person you desire. Strip the hair under the loose string on our Knotty Stalker. See what you’ve been missing! Enjoy.. I convinced Janice to not try it. It’s just a waste of time and could be just a joke from someone that made the product. Janice didn’t listen and convinced me otherwise to help her get a single hair from Nathan. Janice told me the plan and it surprisingly work fine. I talked to Nathan and she pretend to bump her head to Nathan as she pulled a single hair. After that she say her sorry for being clumsy and we both left. We went home and sat down. Janice grab the Knotty Stalker and place it on the desks. She then take out the single strand of the hair he took from Nathan. Without hesitation, she followed the instruction written in the paper. She take the hair and slide it under a string on the Doll’s body then lay it down on the desk. We waited and watch to what will happened next. For a while, nothing happened. **“See, I told you It won’t work”** I said to Janice. **“I know..”** Janice replies with a hopeless voice but that hopelessness disappears when she suddenly hears the doll breathing. It stands up and walk around, she hears it talking with someone. The Knotty Doll mimicking’s Nathan action. I couldn’t believe what I just saw. I told Janice that it must be a kind of ritual that she bought from that old woman. And there might be some consequences. I told her to stop using it for it was not right to stalk other people’s life. She doesn’t listen to me, instead she gets mad for not supporting her and told me to mind my own business. There is nothing I could do to stop her. Next day, I found Janice and Nathan talking in a Cafe near the University Building. They were laughing and talking like they’ve known each other for long. Janice spots me and she smiled. After that Janice then told me everything. She knew that Nathan will be there at the Cafe and she acted like it was just coincidence that they met. They walk to the University together and talk a lot like they are already close to each other. On 2nd day I noticed Janice listening to a band that she probably don’t know about. She told me that she hears Nathan talks about how he’s a Fan of this specific band. Janice even told me that she will invite Nathan on a band concert that will happen on the next day. Everything happens so fast for both Janice and Nathan. After that I’ve seen them together almost everyday then 5 days later they’re already a couple. I am genuinely happy for of them especially with Janice since it’s her crush since 8th Grade. But then 2 weeks later, somethings changed. I noticed Janice gets frustrated about something. She was certain that Nathan talks about something that he likes but when she asked about it to Nathan, Nathan looks confused and doesn’t even know what she was telling to him. Nathan still act nice towards Janice but Janice really felt like something is wrong with him or maybe the Doll is only trying to destroy her and her relationship with Nathan. The next day she dragged me outside the campus and asked me to come with her in a Motel nearby. She suspects that Nathan was there with another girl. I told her to stop overthinking about it and I still have a class so I explained I can’t go with her. She got mad at me and said “fine”, walking fast and run crossing to the street. Then I saw with my own eyes. She got hit by a Van so hard that she flew 5 feet away. For a moment I can’t control myself. I couldn’t move, I’m shaking. After gaining back my consciousness, I rush towards her and saw a guy and the driver get out from a van, It was Nathan. Nathan leaned down to Janice body as he shred tears. Janice eyes were tearing as she saw that what she suspected was wrong. I cried because I can’t believed that she is gone now. She passed away minutes later from the accident. Years later I saw a clip who has the same story as Janice. She also bought a the Knotty Stalker doll to get her crush and also died. It said to be that the Knotty Stalker are only reliable for 9 days only and after that it’s no use anymore. It also lead the owner of the Knotty Stalker for their own death. If only I knew about this, If I can only stop her. Maybe she’s still alive right now.
