My favorite is Andyman or whatever. "Please tell me that someone else also got violated (but in a good way) by an invisible succubus"

I've done a lot of things in life that I've come to regret.

Introducing the term "butt ghosts" into Lemon's life is not one of them.

The following story is completely true except for my name. This just happened an hour ago.

So I had called an order in to a Papa Murphy's and drove to pick it up. I arrived when it should have been ready, but the guy at the register asked me my name (Jeff) and said they were still making it.

After about 5 minutes, the same guy from the register steps out with two pizzas and asks the room if Steve is among them. Another 5 minutes later and I'm the only one left. The guy goes over to the rack, picks up the same two pizzas, looks at me and says, "Uh, Steve?"

I respond the only way I can. "No, my name is Jeff." The guy goes back to the rack, checks it, picks up a pizza that had been ready since I arrived, and hands it to me. He gives me the spiel about how to cook it and wanders off without so much as an apology.

I just lost 10 minutes of my life because someone thought I was named Steve.

Just gotta point out; that thing about the monkey-creature is almost definitely night terrors. My sister had similar stuff happen to her when she had night terrors, though idk if hers ever had any weight, but the inability to move was probably sleep paralysis.

If you know about sleep paralysis, episodes like these become a game of spot-the-symptoms.

The common thread tying all of these ghost episodes together is "A really mundane thing happened, it must have been ghosts? ... ? ."

(well, that and butts)
(e: on second thought you could replace "ghosts" with "gang stalkers" and it would still be true)

It's all about rationalizing stuff that we already have explanations for in a more appealing way.

I don't understand how you wouldn't have had this expectation before the episode???

I'm familiar with the whole Steve phenomena, but for me it's Scott. People who know me but not well enough to have memorized the name with the face will call me Scott. It's never anything else. It's always Scott. Eerie, sure, but as said on the episode my first thought as to an explanation was never "ghosts."

Is the Steve thing just confirmation bias? I mean you might get called Steve, or some other generic name, a few times and then just keep remembering the Steve instances and forgetting when you were cake John and Bill.

When you have a name that's slightly uncommon but similar to a very common name, people who don't know you well often misremember. I get called Catherine from time to time, presumably for that exact reason.

I love the episodes that have to do with crazies, and this is one of those. It reminds me of this one fairly awful TV show called Paranormal Home Inspectors (on Netflix, btw). Literally every episode started with these people who are just like, "OMG my house is HAUNTED!" and then a paranormal expert and a home inspector come in, inspect the house in their own ways, and give that person their findings. Every single episode the home inspector was just like, "uh, guys, there's serious issues with your home" things like bad foundations or even gas leaks and the paranormal "expert" is just all, "guys, it's ghosts" and then every episode the people just believe in ghosts. I got a kick out of it. It's one of those shows to have on in the background that just makes you wonder how we as a species have managed to fucken survive for so long.
