i would also pull this shit at sleepovers too not in purpose its just that i used to be obsessed with ghost stories & then someone would inevitably ask me if i thought ghosts were real & i said yes. they're everywhere & watching is but mostly harmless & only appear to people who start to notice them

like i never straight up said "there's a ghost in your house" i just mostly said stuff like "people have been living around here for a long time so it's not unlikely" & i didnt understand that would send most other kids minds into total overdrive. i just thought it was kind of cool.
