11 Twitter Stories So Incredible They Sound Like A Lie
Canadian writer Aidan Moher recently challenged Twitter users to tell a story about themselves that “sounds like a lie but is absolutely true.”
The answers, if real, show that life can be stranger than fiction!
1. So *that’s* where that went…

2. This ghostly neighbor.
I saw my neighbor lady who had recently been hospitalized walking in her backyard and told her I was glad she was home and feeling better. She smiled at me. When I went inside and told my mom that the lady was home, Mom told me that she’d died at the hospital that morning.

3. The tree that needed a priest.
I was responsible for the exorcism of a tree while in elementary school. I wrote letters in the voice of a demon and hid them in the tree, and convinced classmates they were real. My catholic school, unfortunately, also thought they were real and the dioceses got involved. https://t.co/N8PuxvlAUw

4. This unexpected camera operator.
My friend ditched me at Afropunk NYC had me losssst.

5. Two bad first impressions in seconds.
First day, new job. Office manager asked me my middle name. I rant about how much I hate it and the cruelty of my parents
She said: "That's my son's name."
Attempting a rescue, I say: "Well, it's not as horrible my brother's middle name."
"That's my other son's name," she said

6. This unbelievable coincidence.
I moved into the same San Francisco house high on Castro hill where my parents dated and fell in love… completely by coincidence.

7. The unluckiest day, ever.
I was riding bikes with my daughter on Fri The 13th, & a black cat scurried across the bike path in front of us. My daughter said something about bad luck, and I began to tell her that it was only superstition when a bee flew into my mouth and stung me on the back of my throat.

8. This disgusting, yet perfect defense.
I was once being followed home by a group of street harassers while I had food poisoning, and when I turned around to tell them to f*** off, I projectile vomited on them https://t.co/ZU2PKpDS5H

9. Something only a princess could do.
I went to a Halloween party at Carrie Fisher's house and she was dressed as Princess Leia. https://t.co/C8jk9hJ6u5

10. This awesome Dr. Phil non-moment.
When I was 16 and my mom STILL wouldn’t let me out the closet so I jokingly submitted my story to the Dr. Phil show. Two weeks later I got on the show and my mom said “date whoever u want, but we will NEVER do the Dr. Phil show!!!”
Basically, thanks Dr. Phil for my gay rights!! https://t.co/WVOemMhCvg

11. And finally, a message from the other side.
I found out about my grandfather’s death because a bird flew into my art classroom. We had newspapers on our desks and the bird landed on mine then flew out the window. I looked at the paper and it was his obituary. https://t.co/2Lr7PXkfLI
