Recover content from "story" after content type was deleted accidentally
I had this same situation - deleted nodes, only titles left.

With D7, I used phpmyadmin to go into the database

open the field_data_body table

Sort this by type and locate the type you deleted - there should be a "1" in the deleted column.  I did two as a test and then cleared caches and checked the node on the site - the content was back.

Then I ran this sql query, copied from the changes I did:
UPDATE  databasename.field_data_body SET  deleted =  '0' WHERE  field_data_body.entity_type =  'content type name' AND  field_data_body.deleted =1

Everything was back. Yay!

change database name to your database and content type name to the content type you deleted.

And be sure to backup your DB before doing this in case of disasters. Like deleting a node type.
