In the old days, a lot of the kids were buried with their favorite toy. It could be anything- a baseball bat, a doll, anything the child loved.

Beth Woodall's toy was an old rag doll with two blue buttons for eyes. It was buried with her when she died, just like that.

Three weeks after her funeral, Beth's father found the doll sitting on the front porch. He assumed that their must have been some kind of mistake and quietly reburied it with his daughter again.

Only a week later, Beth's mother discovered the doll in Beth's playroom, dirty and wet. She brought it to the family priest and together they blessed it and buried it again in the little girl's plot.

When they found the doll the third time, they found it laying on Beth's old bed. It had a small note with it, saying: It's too dark and cold in there. I do not like it. Why won't you let me come home, mommy and daddy?
