i try not to believe in any of the stories but the nightmares were real!! i used to be so scared of sleeping at night bc i watched that one suicidemouse.avi video that i cried awake, legit pissing off my sister that was sleeping beside me lol. like i'd be afraid that suicide mouse would come into the room and grab me although i was 87% sure it wasn't real.
my brain love to repeat the worst situations as if its gonna happen when i read stories, like those creepy urban legends somehow could really be happening to me. i think im just like some of the commenters here, i love to read the ritual creepypastas but im scared as hell if i were to accidentally perform one. they seemed to be believable at the time though
