Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother’s friend’s dad’s house totally haunted?

    Someone stole a 20 dollar out of a hollowed out crucifix my grandmother had and they found the money ripped in half in the driveway and I got blamed for it when I didn’t do it.

    Someone ordered payperview porn on the TV and I got blamed for it even though I didn’t know the fucking code and I wasnt home on the day and time it was bought. I’m still salty as fuck over this one.

    Why my moron of a father married at all. Why he picked my mother. Why he married so fast after meeting her. Why he had kids.

    Everything I’ve ever known of him says he should never have done any of those things.

    I’ve been told that my grandpa’s brother’s (granduncle?) face was on the $20 bill of a cult. He was definitely very much in the cult and it does seem they had their own currency on their creepy property, but the details I’ve been able to find are pretty scarce and I’ve never seen the supposed currency.

    Something about Al Capone. Originally I heard we were related, but I don’t think that’s true, but my great grandma did chase him out of her house with her cane at one point.

    There is a guy looking like my grandfather and other members in my family, but is a part of the family next door (of my grandfather’s house)

    My uncle doesn’t drive nor consume pork anymore after returning from Canada, but every time we ask about that, he doesn’t say anything useful.

    So my theory is he hit a pig with a car and felt sorry or something

    My mom’s oldest sister left home when they were young. Like, very young. We didn’t get to meet her until after Grandpa died. All that we (the next generation) have learned is that she is from a previous marriage that also is not to be spoken of. This is not a prideful, secretive, traditional, or whatever type of family like this may sound. Very open and progressive. Except for this one thing. Just she, my mom, the other sisters will absolutely shut you down if you ask any questions.

    In the late 80s my uncle was heavily involved in Unix system administration and architecture at a major defense contractor. He was gay AF and smart as a whip. He had been hinting that he knew something important about the whole Iran Contra thing and then one day he just dropped dead. Like literally they had no explanation other than a sudden cessation of brain activity (there was a technical term I don’t remember). The family requested that his body be kept so that we could have a separate autopsy done, but mysteriously he was misrouted and instead was cremated. It was fishy as fuck. I’m not sure whether he was offed by the government or possibly entered witness protection. I just don’t believe the story that his brain just shut off.
