Were They REALLY Imaginary? | Creepy Stories About Imaginary Friends

What if your imaginary friend… wasn’t imaginary? Most of us grew up thinking imaginary friends were just a normal part of being a kid. A little friend that lived in our imagination, played with us, talked to us, and eventually disappeared as we grew up. But what happens when that “imaginary” friend seems to know things they shouldn’t? Tonight on The Afterlife Hotline, Ashley and Daneisha are diving into some seriously creepy stories about childhood imaginary friends who may have been something much more than imagination. We’re reading stories from around the internet and Reddit about children who talked to people nobody else could see, friends who knew details they couldn’t possibly have known, and encounters that became much stranger once those children grew up. Were these just incredibly vivid childhood imaginations? Or were some of these kids actually seeing something the rest of us couldn’t? Grab your headphones, turn the lights down… and maybe think twice before you dismiss a child who says they have a friend you can’t see. The line is open. ☎️👻

Tab shares a chilling story about investigating this eerie location and what happened once they stepped inside. What starts as an exploration of a forgotten building quickly turns into an encounter with something that may not have wanted them there. So turn down the lights, put on your headphones, and come with us into the darkness.
