A group of women visiting the home made a special effort to reach out to Rachael. They bought her a present, a doll, which they left in the second floor bedroom where Rachael died. They made themselves at home and began to try to communicate with the little lost soul. They called out to the 10-year-old, according to paranomal investigator David Heatherly, who explained that they women then heard something bounce down the stairs. On the landing at the bottom of the stairs, they saw the doll that had brought for Rachel. "It was burnt looking, and it smelled freshly burned."
