I'll tell you 4 stories, 3 truths and a lie, about me and you guess which the the lie. (if anyone even reads this >.<)
1. When I was about 7 or 8, I was spending the night at my friend's house just across the highway from the road I live on. That evening, her dad was going to his job as a correctional officer at the jail in the next county over when they called to say that one of the inmates had gotten out. That night, me and my friend were watching tv in her room when it kept cutting off on us. Every time we would cut it back on, it would cut back of after a few seconds. After taking the batteries from the remote and checking the plug, we tried again and it cut off again, then we heard a loud bang that sounded like a gunshot. There was no storm so we didn't think it was a transformer that blew. When my friend turned to look outside, there was a man standing under the tree at teh far end of her yard, by the swing we had been in earlier. He turned and walked into the woods and we told her mom, who let us sleep in the room with her. A few days later, a man in an orange jumpsuit walked out of the woods while my friend was on the swing and asked if he could push her. We found an old mattress and blanket at the top of the hill behind the tree not long after, in what was left of a lumber storage area.
2. I have a habit of bringing home stray animals, even if only to find them a new home. So far, I have brought home a junkyard mutt, a boxer/pit/rottie mix, a purebred shetland sheepdog, a beagle, 2 rotties, an english mastiff, a coydog, a white german shepherd with a docked tail, 5 cats, a plott hound mix, a shepherd mix, a spaniel mix, a pit bull, a corgi/basset hound, a fiest, a german shorthair pointer, 2 lizards, a guinea pig, a rabbit, and 2 goats (not counting the two we already have).
3. One summer a cardinal took up in a small tree behind out house and would fly down to sit on our ac every day. He would peck on the window all day long and it sounded just like it had started to rain outside. With it just being me and my dad, my grandmother would come to help out around the house, washing dishes, doing laundry, etc, especially since this was the first year that I wasn't at a daycare program for the summer. Every time she would hear the Cardinal she would get irritated and complain because she thought it was raining and she had left her umbrella at their house. She would gripe about the weather channel and complain that they were all idiots, saying you could never know what the weather was gonna be unless you looked at the sky, only to go outside and it be perfectly sunny and warm.
4. One night, me and my friends were on our way to see a wrestling match in a town a few hours away. None of us were really excited to go, but one friend was dating a guy in the match, so we were all going for support. Depsite the fact that it should have only taken us a couple hours to get there, none of us seemed to notice that we drove much longer than that because the car was so cramped and we were all fighting for any little bit of space we could get the entire way (the back seat was especially cramped). Finally, the girl's phone rang and her boyfriend said he was upset that we had missed his match. At first we thought he was playing a joke on us, but then we checked the time and saw that it was much later than we thought. In our confusion, we stopped fighting long enough to pay attention to the signs along the road and realized we were in the next state over, going the opposite direction.

#4 is the lie. It did happen, but I was never part of it.
#1 was probably the most frightening thing I've ever experienced.
