Secrets

In a world saturated with conflicting information and “fake news,” it's no wonder that conspiracy theories take root. But not everything we hear is completely untrue, either. During the Prohibition, the U.S. government engaged in a rather twisted approach to law enforcement—and sadly, over 100,000 people perished as a result.

Nothing like the burden of a secret you can't tell anyone. These Redditors are confessing some of the most hilarious and horrifying secrets they have.

One day, I got a message from a guy asking how I was related to my dad, who happens to be a well-known author. I assumed it was a fan, but when I showed my dad the guy's picture his face went white.

One night, while sleeping over at my best friend’s, I woke to her brother coming home from a party. I heard strange noises coming from his room and peeked in—but what I witnessed will haunt me to the day I die.

I’ll never forget this client whose girlfriend sent him in because of his “addiction.” I thought it was serious—but he answered my first question about it, my jaw dropped straight to the ground.

One thing to remember: Even the dead have their secrets. These Redditors unearthed the unimaginable while looking through their dead relatives' belongings.
