Perhaps it’s because I’ve been reading Reddit’s /r/nosleep, but I take their lead when it comes to scary stories. They are true, even if they are actually obviously not, because it’s more fun to read them if they are “true”. Even if they’re not.

On my way to see the Sisters of Mercy.
I’d make a joke about them playing right before Halloween but Andrew Eldritch would probably stab me…
