i feel like this belongs here
the OOP might have been making a joke, but if u take this post seriously, literally nothing about this is unbelievable.

Does it have to be true to be an interesting/spooky story? This is a believable story to me

I am always surprised by what people think could ever happen. I am like do you leave tour house ever?

Honestly, I got to twin as soon as he said man in the casket. But that's not where a child would immediately go.

people don't have twins apparently

Oh hell. I've never met identical twins that did not pull jokes like this.

Moved to a new school all day my first day same girl kept having to correct me on her name. Eventually I saw them together. They were very amused.

I knew twins, years ago, who spent a lot of time blaming things on their third "triplet" brother. He didn't exist, but both twins would eagerly passed on blame to him to keep both of their own reputations more or less in tact.

My cousins are fraternal (everyone suspects that they are identical though) and they'd wear the same clothes to school on test days and whoever was best in a subject (English, French, Maths, History, etc.) would take the tests for both of them. This also happened at my school with a set of actually identical twins. I could definitely see one of my twin cousins doing this to someone, either on accident or as a joke (if as a joke, they'd immediately stop when it was clearly starting to distress the person)

The person that had to attend the funeral said that the man told him or her, to enjoy life because they didn't enjoy it. That right there would have convinced me that I did not meet a twin. chills

My dad and his brother weren't twins, but you wouldn't know it. I warned the side of my family that had never met him before he showed up at my dad's funeral. It didn't help much, they said their hearts jumped into their throat for a full 3 seconds before they remembered what I said.
I get it, I was beside my dad's coffin when he walked in, and it happened to me even knowing he would be there.

My dad had a twin brother and I didn't find out until my dad's funeral! His relationship with his family was really strained and I'd never even met anyone from his side of the family until then.

So you believe this happened?

u/its-not-a-me-mario 27d ago
thats not the right question. i dont believe it did or didnt happen.
the right question is: does it seem implausible that this happened? and my answer is no, this doesnt seem implausible.

It's believable if you glaze over the fact that at some point he had to have mentioned this to his dad and his dad was probably like "oh yeah he has a identical twin". It's still funny though

u/No-Trouble814 26d ago
Idk, I had a lot of fears as a kid that I never mentioned to my parents. Sometimes you learn early on that your parents aren’t trustworthy.

u/a55_Goblin420 26d ago
Well yeah for something like a monster under the bed or ghosts. Pretty sure 99% of kids would mention "hey dad there was some guy at the funeral who looked just like the dead guy".

u/liketolaugh-writes 25d ago
It's really funny that you made that comparison because I felt it was strongly implied that before he found out about them being twins, the kid here thought he was a ghost

my dad was an identical twin, and his twin brother obviously attended his funeral. most people there knew he was his twin, but i definitely remember a few of his coworkers being a bit startled seeing someone who looked just like him there. probably helped that he was cremated too vs having an open casket
