real ive been one on epicmafia

In school I was convinced I saw a ghost once, so convinced that I put together an investigative team to track it down.

After months of investigation during school break time failed to produce anything, people started to lose interest, so I just started making shit up.

Before I knew it, I had given this ghost a name, 'The Black Cloak', and claimed that he was fighting an eternal duel with his arch nemesis 'The White Cloak' for control of the world, and the school was their battleground. Also, for reasons I forget I convinced them that the headteacher had cloned himself.

It was my own little cult. Good times

But I voted fake.

Though I have read some freaky stories. It's fun to pretend they are real

Real. They're my biggest fear by FAR. Two of my aunts are mediums so I've personally never seen one but I hear a shit ton of freaky stuff that there's no way they could make up

You have two aunt's who are mediums?

What's the story there?

Yeah. One is my mom's sister and she says she's been communicating with spirits since she was very young. She's started to embrace it a lot more since she's grown up and gives people readings all the time.

The one story that gave us the chills the most was one time she said my dad's grandfather visited her. She never met my dad's grandfather cause he was dead before she was alive and she's on the other side of the family. Anyway, she said that he came to her and told my dad about money that was hidden in a specific location at the house my dad grew up in. It was in a little piece of the wall under the staircase. He wanted my dad to go and grab it before they sold the house.

My dad actually went to the house and found a significant amount of money in the same location. It was freaky as fuck because my aunt had never been to that house before.

Most of my aunts are larges

HA HA HA

But for real they're all overweight

Real talk

Vic what scares you more, ghosts or pepperoni?

Ghosts

Pepperoni is probably one of my top five scariest foods tho

Fiscally concerned ghost grandfather.

Dude, that ain't scary, I wish I had a ghost telling me where I can find hidden stashes of large sums of money.

Fake, cognitive biases.

I'd be fine with there being a middle ground like my aunt. But I don't want any ghosts coming straight to me telling me that shit. I'd shit my pants.
