<p>A viral tweet has folks spilling on real-life experiences that sound like a synopsis of a Hollywood hit! One user, @AMythicWitch, challenged folks on Twitter to <em>&#8220;tell us a true story from your life that sounds made up&#8221;</em> on August 29.</p>
<p>As a result, hundreds of people <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/irv-gotti-describes-allegedly-kissing-ashanti-grabbing-her-cheeks-in-murder-inc-story-clip-twitter-users-react/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">delivered stories</a>. In fact, by the time <em>TSR </em>published this story, users had left over 4,000 comments and quote-tweeted the post more than 16,000 times!</p>
<p>@AMythicWitch previously asked her followers the same question in December 2021 and May. But here are six stories that stood out in August&#8217;s Twitter thread.</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>A Killer Who Gives Warnings</strong></h5>
<p>Twitter user @sivbreak had luck, faith, or just downright familiarity on his side when he ran into a killer who spared him with a warning.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;First time I was ever out past 8 pm, I ran into my friend&#8217;s grandfather on my way home,&#8221; @sivbreak tweeted. &#8220;He warned me about being out late, saying people are being killed out there. Woke up the next morning to the news that he had been arrested for murder.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>@sivbreak didn&#8217;t offer additional details, like names or dates, but he teased another piece of information in a separate tweet. He wrote, <em>&#8220;the motive behind the murder was even wilder, but it&#8217;s none of my business.&#8221; </em></p>

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>A Reincarnated Grandpa?</strong></h5>
<p>Meanwhile, Twitter user @_decentphil had a softer yet tragic story involving their grandfather. @_decentphil told about his younger brother, whose birth echoed the grandpa&#8217;s death.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Grandpa said he would come back to life only after his mum was late. He died years back (4 p.m., January 15th) of a bike accident that left a scar on the left side of his head. My kid bro was born years late, at 4 p.m., January 15th, and with the exact same scar on the same spot,&#8221; @_decentphil tweeted.</p></blockquote>

<p>For curious peepers, @_decentphil shared a throwback photo of his brother. And in another response to a comment, @_decentphil said his brother <em>&#8220;has been wise from birth, talks and acts old.&#8221; </em></p>

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>A New York Love Story Since Birth</strong></h5>
<p style="text-align: left;">Unlike most tales, user Emily C. Singer (@CahnEmily) shared one centered on love. In truth, the short story is a romantic comedy waiting to happen. Someone get Rachel McAdams on the line!</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;My husband and I lived in the same Manhatten apartment building as babies, two floors apart, but our parents never met and weren&#8217;t friends,&#8221; Emily tweeted. &#8220;My husband and I finally met 23 years later at a New Year&#8217;s Eve party.&#8221;</p>
<p> ;</p></blockquote>

<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>A Thief Looking Out For Two Futures</strong></h5>
<p>Twitter user @fabianthafirst_ shared a story about being a victim of a robbery. But the thief did a partial return instead of taking the user for everything he had. The robber&#8217;s intentions? Looking out for both <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/saudi-woman-imprisoned-for-34-years-for-retweeting-activists-calling-for-release-of-political-prisoners/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">their futures</a>.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The man that robbed me at gunpoint said he was doing me a favor by taking my phone &; giving me the SIM cards back cause he felt I looked like someone that had a bright future,&#8221; @fabianthafirst_ tweeted. &#8220;&; that he hopes to meet me in future &; remind me of his &#8216;favor&#8217; to me so I can help him in life.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1565352248716435459" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Group Dinner With Blood On Ya Hands</strong></h5>
<p>Twitter user @DPMCanty enjoyed a cozy dinner with her best friend and a man. Afterward, she learned the experience was more of an alibi for the married killer.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;A man used dinner with me and my bestie as an alibi for a murder he committed,&#8221; @DPMCanty wrote. &#8220;To be clear, he brutally killed a woman, then came and had a cozy dinner with us. I found out about the murder AND his wife, kids in another state when detectives came by.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>@DPMCanty shared additional story details and links to prove her tale is not tall. The &#8220;clean-cut, quiet man,&#8221; described by @DPM Canty, is named Blaine Norris. Blaine <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna10950068">strangled Randi Trimble</a> with an extension cord and stabbed her 27 times in her garage on January 10, 2003, per <em>NBC News. </em></p>
<p>Blaine&#8217;s friend Brian Trimble had agreed to pay Blaine $20,000 for the murder&#8211;about the amount Blaine owed in debt from filming an indie horror movie. Blaine later confessed to the crime, and prosecutors gave him life without parole in a plea deal.</p>
<h5 style="text-align: center;"><strong>To Catch A Pedophile Rob A Home </strong></h5>
<p>Last but not least is Matthew Hahn&#8217;s (@hagnscratch) story. Unlike the previous tales, Matthew started as a criminal in his&#8211;only to discover another crime during the robbery.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;I once burgled a home &; stole a safe. I cracked the safe &; discovered photos of the owner molesting a child,&#8221; Matthew wrote. &#8220;He reported the burglary to police. I turned the photos in. The cops called him in to discuss the burglary. He confessed. We both went to prison.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Matthew was sentenced to 14 years in the United States, while the child molester received 30 years. He&#8217;s told the story several times through the years.</p>
