"I shouldn't have looked through the old family pictures" Creepypasta

[@dukkha62]

The scariest part of this for me is the knowledge that there exists a psychological disorder, Capgras Syndrome, which has the symptom of having the delusional belief that one's spouse has been replaced by an imposter. Capgras is associated with dementia although episodes of paranoid schizophrenia can also create the same symptoms.

[@eriidz]

I learned of capgras because of the netflix movie The Son

[@Bexebeche]

The ending of story has also Fregoli delusion elements. The story is maybe not a perfect representation of psychosis but the author definitely did their homework.

[@CuteangelcatAJ]

I thought it was this also the changes to his eyes and hair and even the nose can over time change (eyes are rare but possible. My eyes change from green to blue.)

[@asiaizzard3791]

My grandmother has schizophrenia and thinks it's an Asian women in the house under her bed and sleeping with her roommate.

[@kiyaluque]

i thought capgras was your loved one being replaced by an IDENTICAL imposter though, this is about their appearance changing somewhat subtly over time.

[@ShadowcatAlfa]

being married to a shapeshifter seems like it would be very convenient, especially if for the 18 years you havent noticed it nothing bad has happened to you

[@Cheshire_Heart]

This exactly, so many people are saying it’s a terrifying story and that poor woman. She basically started neglecting her kids and ran out on her family because she figured out they weren’t human. That poor family…stuck with a human that hates them.

[@arxink-pop6091]

As long as you stay away from the cringy looking titles that are phrased the same. You'll have a blast in nosleep or the narrators here on who's stories are all from there(nosleep). Just don't go to titles that mention the fact that their employers gave them a strange ser of rules. Those are mainly the ones that still feel like are "honoring" the original definition for the word "creepypasta".

I don’t get why he kept it a secret from her and is now mad that she found out. He should’ve hid it better if he didn’t want her to find out, or of come out and told her what he really is since he loves her I’m assuming, that’s why they had kids together and live together…

I kept listening impatiently, hoping to get answers, but what's unnerving is that there really aren't any. I mean, we know that the guy's a shape-shifter who has a hard time maintaining an appearance, but like…why everything else? Why did he marry a human woman, why is he there, what is his purpose? Either way…moral of the story: If you think your life is perfect, then your life is a lie, whether you know it or not.

[@dawnmidnightsun2521]

@Tin Can I'm guessing it's sime sort of experimental thing. Plus maybe a dash of they aren't able to reproduce with their own kind. Meaning, they are attempting to take over and are seeing how long it would take for a human to realize their subtle shifts in appearance and that their spieces is dying out so they have to mate with humans. The reason to get her back would probably be along the experimental lines. Can they scare her into being complacent with it, or maybe convince her it's in her head wince she is back home maybe.

Leaving some things up to the imagination can make a story more compelling & scary, but in this case, I was a little disappointed, & left wanting a bit more from the plot.

[@deanhouse878]

To be honest with you I enjoyed the start of the story, but it's unclear why the Shape shifters suddenly turn malevolent. After giving this woman a happy life for 18 years why suddenly change because she found out? And the kids are still her kids right? Or maybe they aren't and that's the point? A lot more could have been done with this story to make the motivations and the methods a bit more clear. The open ending to the story also makes it a bit unbelievable that she survived to write the story in the first place if the shape shifter is truly evil.

also, just changing your hair color isn't *that* strange either, like it's not something a lot of men really commonly do I guess, but it's not exactly some impossible enigma in and of itself, either eyes and facial structure are weirder, obvs, but I still think hair length is bizarre to bring up, especially since a lot of men tend to get their hair cut shorter as they get older?
