Me, going to bed after listening to a horribly graphic true crime podcast: “god I hope everyone’s okay now… anyways… zzzzzzz…”

Me, going to bed after listening to a completely fictional horror story: *pocket knife clutched in my white knuckled grip* “what if the booglyboo tries to eat me while I sleep?”

#I have some sort of cognitive dissonance with true crime #maybe it has something to do with being the victim of a violent crime at such a young age #but I get so much more jumpy about folktales and such #I had a friend tell me a story about a chief’s daughter who died and now haunts the woods looking for a soul to claim #and that gave me nightmares longer than the actual crimes that have been committed against me #I kinda think like ‘oh no I was victimized again’ but then I’m like ‘but the boogey monster’#humans are much worse than demons and ghouls or whatever but demons and ghouls scare me more #idk rambles #I haven’t slept #because of a scary story compilation on YouTube #I am afeared #father please protect me from la llorona and Tiyanaks and el chupacabra #I am sleeping with a knife under my pillow 😭#not wn
