I had a couple classmates that pretended to be vampires back in elementary and middle school. They’d pretend their Koolaid was blood, complain about the sunlight, and bite their friends a lot. Not enough to draw blood, though. I haven’t kept up with most of them, but one guy is a teacher now. He seems pretty normal.
A girl I knew in high-school thought she was Napoleon Bonaparte reincarnated.
She sometimes wore that French military coat and have her hand tucked. She would speak in what little French she knew.
I hooked up with her. She went on to do CS and is pretty wealthy
An interesting self delusion, hopefully harmless though
Nah, she ended up invading half of Europe by the years end.
Oh totally, she was super fun. Just a bit eclectic
Did you mean eccentric?
Nope, I mean eclectic!
I thought perhaps you meant electric.
I could have meant ecclesiastic!
With that backstory, hopefully making a tinder competitor - Bone-a-tart.
CS?
Computer Science, i presume
You right
you really fumbled the bag bruh
You’re telling me
Not a classmate but when I was in 6th grade I discovered I could make a weird noise, idk I though I sounded like a whale or a dying cow or something. It was a weird sound.
Anyway I started doing it randomly in like the middle of class but it kept seeming like no one could even hear it like no one responded at all so I just kept doing it all the time in the middle of like dead silent math classes.
I think eventually the teacher like glared at me after one and I was like oh shit they can hear it and stopped? I don’t remember.
I had a kid in one of my classes in middle school who was trying to convince people The Undertaker (as in Mark Calaway, professional wrestler for WWF/WWE) was his uncle and that his powers were real and he had totally seen them and he was training him to do the whole lightning thing. Mmhmm yes’siree.
Pretty sure this kid ate paint too from the look of him.
I swear that kid was at every school. They did a great version of that kid in 8-Bit Christmas.
Is not a supernatural thing but a girl pretended to be a cat. Apparently this is kinda common? Or at least since then I seen a few people online say a girl at their school also pretended to be a cat? I think we were 10. Anyway I don’t know how she is now because she left about the year later and idk her last name to look her up.
My first girlfriend was one of those cat girls. We were like 13 when we started dating. She was really unstable and ended up going to jail twice long after we broke up. I sure know how to pick them lol. In my defense, she was the only lesbian I knew at the time.
I met a kid at a math competition who insisted that he was a robot. He told us all he was 11.8 years old, and he didn’t bend his elbows when he walked. He didn’t smile or laugh with the other kids, and just stayed to himself the whole time.
I only saw him that one day, but I can tell you he was fully committed to being a robot that day.
A kid I went to school with named Adam told us at lunch he was an android when we were 12 years old. He was new to the school and said he had to go to new schools every year so people wouldn’t find out his secret. He claimed he felt no emotions or pain and was a genius.
A kid named Steven asked him to prove it. Adam jabbed his thumb with an unfurled paper clip and made himself bleed, then put salt on it without showing any pain. So Steven stabbed him in the hand with a fork and he screamed, cried, and ran to the bathroom. He wasn’t an android. Steven got detention. Kids are weird.
I knew a guy that was CONVINCED he was a werewolf. He would refuse to go out on full moons and would bark/snarl at people in school if they got too close. He’s in prison for CP now.
That sounds like everyone ignored the very obvious giant red flags of his deteriorating mental health
I also had a university friend/acquaintance who claimed to be a werewolf. What’s strange is that he didn’t let everyone in on the secret. Just those close to him. He acted pretty normal 99% of the time, but when in the company of those who ‘knew’, he would sometime exhibit…well…werewolf behavior. No idea what happened to him.
I can only remember one girl in middle school who said she was a cat and would scratch and hiss at people.
Ever heared of the French nuns that caught a case of mass hysteria and started meowing like cats? I’ll quote a section about it on Wikipedia:
In The Epidemics of the Middle Ages, an 1844 collection of works written by J. F. C. Hecker (and translated by Benjamin Guy Babington), a translator’s note by Babington, citing an unnamed medical textbook, recalls the story of a nun who lived in a French convent during an unspecified time (presumably in the Middle Ages) who inexplicably began to meow like a cat, shortly leading the other nuns in the convent to meow as well. Eventually, all of the nuns in the convent would meow together for a certain period, leaving the surrounding community astonished. This did not stop until the police threatened to whip the nuns.
They just sound really bored to me lmao
Search up neko subliminals on Youtube and neko journal on Wattpad. She may be that sort of person
All the right winger panicked about “children identifying as cats” need to read this thread and remember that kids have always imagined weird things.
Also I knew one who was like that about being a horse.
I knew a girl in college who also believed she was a cat (this was 20 years ago). She would also scratch and hiss at people. Additionally, she would randomly meow in class. They would just sit there “cleaning” themselves as well, licking their hands and arms. She wore a pair of cat ears and a tail. It was immensely weird.
Hope she’s still living her best kitty life.
In pre school my twin sister and her friends thought they were fairies when they argued for example they would make up stories about each other being evil fairies and stuff like that lots of funny drama what’s embrassing to me is that they got me believeing in it too, fun stuff
A guy i went to high school with wasn’t vampire. But he was a “Psychic Vampire Hunter” who hunted and protected people from Psychic Vampires. Basically it would be other guys he didn’t like he would deem as Psychic Vampires. Guys who had gfs basically lol.
I think he’s a Sub teacher these days last i heard.
No one put on a white shirt, eyeliner and jeans just to catch the premiere of Death Note.
No one.
I used to pretend I was bionic. Convinced the other kids that the visible blue veins in my wrist were wires, and would go above and beyond to exert myself so as to always appear stronger and faster than the other kids. I don’t remember how long it went on, but it was for a while. I was like 7 or 8 maybe. I’m not sure how much I actually “believed” it, I think I was probably more like a method actor that took things way too seriously for a while, :-p
there was a group of girls at my high school who self identified as witches
i imagine they grew up to moderate r/witchesvspatriarchyOr catholics
I mean, it is a religion. Not much weirder than someone saying they’re Buddhist.
Half the traffic of this post comes from people worried that they might’ve been mentioned.
We see you, Hank.
I put on my robe and my wizard hat.
What? Me? No! Definitely not!
I have to admit, I did not expect to run across a post like this! I thought I was the only one with this experience as I have never heard anyone share anything remotely similar to what I remember.
I was friends/neighbors with a kid when we were in elementary school and that is almost all he talked about. We spent many hours debating (as best we could as 4th graders, haha) the unlikelihood that he was actually a vampire and he would always end up leaving me questioning if maybe, just maybe, he really was. He had elaborate backstories for why he was here and why his parents moved to my hometown and how their life and existence was different from everyone else. He also took great lengths to explain away doubts I had about what I knew of vampires and their limitations from movies. He was very convincing and I never truly knew if he was lying or not.
He moved away shortly after and I never heard from him again. I always attributed it as some form of attention seeking or making up for a lack of something (he was not a super popular kid). But I always admired his imagination.
The part that still strikes me as strange is that this was well before the Twilight vampire craze age. So I’m not really sure where the idea came from.
Not a supernatural creature, but I’ve never seen someone so committed to something, let alone pretending to be a character, like a friend I have.
So, for context, I have a friend who disagreed with his Dramatic Arts professor on how a character had to be played (or something like that) on the first class of the year, and apparently after some arguing, the professor challenged my friend to attend to any business he needed to do in the campus as normal, but portraying a character, any of his choosing, for the rest of the year. And god damn, he did. For the rest of the year, he bought a Victorian era costume, complete with cane and top hat, learned many quirks of the language at the time, and many of the behaviors of society. And Sir Marcus Godwin was born.
He went full in-character mode. He talked using the time’s English, walked like a gentleman, and behaved like he was a Victorian era man who was time travelled into the present. It was really hard not to laugh, specially when he spoke, with professors trying REALLY hard not to laugh. I think the DA professor must have warned all other professors of the classes my friend had, because I’m surprised he wasn’t expelled of any of them. But he made it to the end of the year nonetheless and not only did he get the max grade on that class (which apparently was nearly impossible with that professor), but also got a fuck ton of money on bets he made along the year.
What he must have been like in bed.
That is so chad

Increadible.
wow, that’s dedication. As a teacher, I can understand why he got the highest possible grade
