Essentially, you discover at the end that the doll Brahms was never 'alive' to begin with nothing supernatural was occurring. Instead, it turns out that a 30-year-old man has been living in the walls moving the doll around to make it seem like it's haunted. Pretty weird.
The sequel throws that twist away by claiming that the doll was supernatural and was inhabited by a demon. The demon made the real Brahms commit murder. Then the movie ended with my boy Jude putting on the mask, indicating that the spirit of Brahms is inside him.
Controlled throws\n\n One other way to cheat doesn't require an unfair die at all but involves learning how to throw in a very controlled way. This can involve effectively sliding or dropping the die so the desired number appears. If two dice are used, one can be used to trap the other and stop it bouncing.
The Egyptian game of senet (played before 3000 BCE and up to the 2nd century CE) was played with flat two-sided throwsticks which indicated the number of squares a player could move, and thus functioned as a form of dice.
