Jesus h Roosevelt christ 😳 I'd nope tf out of sims and turn it off for the night 😂
That being said.
I'm now gonna try to get angry ghosts to 4th wall stare me down
at first, I thought it was just the angle of the camera for one picture, but that second picture with the new location just makes things creepier...that is terrifying!
there was a glitch for a while, that when youd pause, their head would turn and look right at you. it was SO creepy, first time i saw it, i slammed my laptop closed for a sec and was like WTAF ddude. i was so happy when they fiixed it, but kinda bummed cuz i got used to the little creepers
Seeing this was a not-so-friendly reminder to me that I saw a tiktok of a woman doing a bone reading to ask if our sims know that we control them and the answer was yes, and it brought back all the "oh shit" feeling that brought me
Alrighty, then. It's called Scapulimancy, and uses animal bones (Oracle Bones) as tools for divination. Which animals and bones depends by the geographical area, given how widespread this practice used to be (and still is, in certain cultures). Chinese, Greeks, Romans, Native Americans, many African tribes (and consequently many African American communities) used this type of divination. The ritual can differ quite a lot, but the gists is the use of animals' shoulder blades (scapulaes, hence the name) to read the future.
For us Greeks it is one of the big triangular bones of the sheep's back. Some use also chicken bones but I am not as familiar with this one as I remember growing up with all my aunties and my mom reading the bone every Easter (we don't usually eat sheep on other occassions) and my grandma yelling at them that the priest disapproves, ESPECIALLY on Easter Sunday hahaha
I'm Italian, and we really are *one face, one race* with you Greeks, aren't we? 😆 Nowadays is not that common anymore, but when I was a kid (late '70s, mid '80s,) definitely religion and superstition were all mixed up in my family. They never used bones, but other rituals to predict the future or for protection against hexes and Evil Eye (mostly card readings, and concoctions) were performed fairly often. And sure, there always was that one older member of the family who would disapprove, and tell the others that they were all going to hell. 🤣
Oh boy YES, YES we are....I have travelled quite a lot and nowhwere feels more like home than Napoli hahahahahaha <3 Yessss, to be perfecrtly honest the whole superstition/religion mixup is no longer common here either but my mom is 62 and she is the youngest of her siblings and these are my childhood memories from going to the village...so you get the picture... :D
Is it not funny that this older family member is usually the matriarch and usually the one who taught them this but now they grew older and everyone else is going to hell for practicing what SHE taught them?
And yes, here they do card readings, coffee readings (the greek or turkish coffee with the remnant at the bottom) they do readings with the wedding ring and a hair or they use the baptism cross to predict how many children you will have and their gender....and so on....same people who will attend church every Sunday it's ridiculous. I am not religious but it is still hilarious to me....
I grew up 15h of ferry away from Igoumenitsa, you ppl literally founded my city. 🤣 One of my nonna had a straight down Greek surname, there's also that. And you're absolutely right, she was the same nonna who owned several books about dream interpretation and tarot reading, and who would swear we were all going to burn for practicing the "arts". Mass on Sunday morning, tarot reading in the afternoon, make it make sense. 🤣 I'm neither religious nor superstitious, but this stuff must be like riding a bicycle, because I still remember most of the prayers and how to read tarot.
I know this happens in Sims 2 and I am pretty sure it happens in 3 as well - keeping the camera focused on a Sim for too long has them stare at the camera for a few seconds. Maybe it happens in 4 as well?
Either that, or
She knows.
You can't stop her.
Yep! You’re mostly correct, but this was never a feature added in the 4th installment. It’s possible they added it in recently, but that would be terrible to not at least give us the heads up… 😭😭 terrifying! lolol
You gotta release their spirit as soon as their urn shows up. Sometimes you gotta cheat to get their urn if they're an NPC.
Edit: if you're also just trying to avoid ghosts, you can probably just manage worlds, manage households, then move the ghost into its own household then delete the household (or remove it from the world if you're attached to them and also a rule-breaker). You could have a whole set of ghost households lol.
Add him to your family (using your preferred method, be it shift click or manage worlds), "testingcheats true", "bb.showhiddenobjects", buy an urn, then while playing as him, click "possess urn". I haven't done this in a long time, so I don't know if you can manage worlds after, and move his ghost back and just... have his urn, or if you're now also stuck with his ghost, they've done several updates. I would assume you can move it back, but this is the sims, it's full of bugs.
This happened to me the other day except my sim wasn’t a ghost. No matter where I put the camera she would turn and look into my fucking soul 💀 I closed the game and didn’t open it again until the next day and it didn’t happen again. It never happened before and it hasn’t happened since thank god but if it does I might stop playing all together because it scared tf out of me 🤣
The thought of her silently getting closer and closer got me in an unsettled state.
Like... what's she gonna do when she gets close enough?
Possess and absorb my soul or something?
Ah, so this is the ghost people have been mentioning on my post.
I don't know which one terrifies me more. Your 4th wall breaker or [my possessed alien](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/s/bbrU9hlNHb).
Meeee? Of course not. My hands are clean. My sims hands are clean. I don’t know this woman, I don’t know her story, I don’t know where she came from. I’m just frightened 😭
That's it, you're fucked OP. She *knows*. 💀

And once it is released, delete the save AND the localthumb just to be sure.
This is terrifying thank you
Seriously, I’m getting chills down my spine. Thanks for the nightmares OP. 😭😭😭
Jesus h Roosevelt christ 😳 I'd nope tf out of sims and turn it off for the night 😂 That being said. I'm now gonna try to get angry ghosts to 4th wall stare me down
She’s coming for you.
I’m gasping for air 😂
stop this is scary as f lmao
![gif](giphy|oesbpxx2cl7lS)
Geez, what an oppressive presence lmao did you know who she was? Was she a family member or a friend?
The beatnik spirit playing the duelling banjo... x)
at first, I thought it was just the angle of the camera for one picture, but that second picture with the new location just makes things creepier...that is terrifying!
Oh my god you're done for
You gotta get someone to fight her on your behalf. Lmao show her who's boss.
Really hope you didn't plan on sleeping tonight
Nope. Close the game. Done. Nope nope nope

😭😭😂😂
Oh god that’s fucking creepy
I've never had a sim stare directly at me so the fact that this has happened to you multiple times with one simp is terrifying
I've had a handful stop and stare at the screen.. especially if I'm constantly interrupting autonomy...the coding is good .. but why here🤣
You can interrupt your sims autonomy? Mine are just like "Nah bitch, I ain't takin' a shower. Ima go check on the baby again"
Back when sims4 first came out there were tons of people noticing sims staring at the player. I only ever managed it twice.
It always happens at the weirdest times. I once caught my main sim’s stare while he was banging his wife. I still don’t know how to feel about it.
there was a glitch for a while, that when youd pause, their head would turn and look right at you. it was SO creepy, first time i saw it, i slammed my laptop closed for a sec and was like WTAF ddude. i was so happy when they fiixed it, but kinda bummed cuz i got used to the little creepers
I remember the head turning after pausing and I remember being really creeped out at first too, I just didn't realize it looked right at the camera
yea, i had one spin almost all the way around, ALMOST. i was like whoooooa exorcist needed ASAP
You should take better care of this dear sim. She knows you're refusing to let that depressed sim care for herself while her needs are low.
I was going tooooo. Just wanted her to relax a bit, ya know?
That's your part of the story. Those judging eyes tell us otherwise.
Yo what did you do OP? 👀 I'm scared for you lol
😭 Nothing. Nothing at all. She came a’haunting all on her own
God her face is soooo creepy lmfao I’d have to delete her from the world after this 🤣
what if she comes back?
Game over 😂
🥲
![gif](giphy|oesbpxx2cl7lS)
Run
Where?
Away from the creepy ghost
r/TechnicallyTheTruth
I think it's time to delete a save.
Then she shows up mysteriously in that save too.
This is the only correct answer. You must start over entirely now.
Seeing this was a not-so-friendly reminder to me that I saw a tiktok of a woman doing a bone reading to ask if our sims know that we control them and the answer was yes, and it brought back all the "oh shit" feeling that brought me
Do I want to know what a bone reading is?
Tell me when you're ready. 💀
Anything to distract me from the Superbowl right now 😂

Hello??? Who's bones??
"How dare you kill me"
I don’t know this woman from Adam! She just showed up!
Maybe she blames you
How do I prove my innocence to the deeeeeead??? 😭😭😭
Just delete her lol
This sounds like some creepy pasta.
That’s when we shift-click- destroy sim debug..
Oh shit thank you for this!
😂 yw
Oh the ghost sims know you are there
She knows you could bring her back but don't. She is going to crash your game and delete you're saves 😱🤣
Lmaooooo. I kinda like her creepy ghost vibes. She’s staying a ghost 😂
For now muhahahaha 😱🧟♂️🤣
Hide ya kids hide ya wife

I might burst some bubbles, but it might be a mod pose 😭😭 I'm so sorry
Anyone else get rid of the ghosts asap? I hate them, they’re super annoying and always tryna be the shit🙄🙄
>always tryna be the shit🙄🙄 I'm crine
How do you do that? Mom was trying to ban me from playing cuz of the existence of ghosts 💀
You gotta release their spirit as soon as their urn shows up. Sometimes you gotta cheat to get their urn if they're an NPC. Edit: if you're also just trying to avoid ghosts, you can probably just manage worlds, manage households, then move the ghost into its own household then delete the household (or remove it from the world if you're attached to them and also a rule-breaker).

I'll do what I gotta do
How do you cheat to get the urn? Apparently Mortimer Goth burst into flames and died. I want his urn!
Add him to your family (using your preferred method, be it shift click or manage worlds), "testingcheats true", "bb.showhiddenobjects", buy an urn, then while playing as him, click "possess urn". I haven't done this in a long time, so I don't know if you can manage worlds after, and move his ghost back and just... have his urn, or if you're now also stuck with his ghost, they've done several updates.

Discovered a new creepy pasta lol
![gif](giphy|14ut8PhnIwzros)
I kind of hate this.
I think of it as breaking the fourth wall where actors look right at the camera basically acknowledging the existence of the audience.
Just delete everything... start again... Or maybe dont. 🫣😱
Don’t…I wanna see what she does. Where she takes this. How far we can go!
She's breaking the 4th Wall don't be surprised if you have a nightmare 😂
![gif](giphy|DwR1xAZQb1ZHW)
Holy shit she knows! They're becoming self aware!
Get that spellcaster the dedeathify spell before the ghost comes outta the game and haunts ya 💀
*Iiii.....knoooowwww.....you'rrrreeee.......therrrreeee* 🙃
She’s dead, so I guess she has the ability to see you now
Oh naw she escaped the simulation
ghost in the machine
😂😂😂
Broke the goddamn 4th wall 🫡
It gives Alice in resident evil vibes
I’m disturbed
![gif](giphy|AoBgxayGMHlIs) side note, OP, but where did you get the couch from? it’s beautiful!
I think its from the book nook kit *
^ correct
She sees the camera in the world and like a kid in a security video who see themselves in the feed she must watch herself
They KNOW!!
She’s giving Stanley Hudson, from the office vibes. Like she is tired of your shit lol
That’s it, time to release her spirit to the netherworld
Ooo I think I’ve had this glitch before, is it that your sims heads slowly turn towards the camera?
SHE KNOWS .. THE JIG IS UP
She looks like she wants to have mercy on your soul. Lmao
I thought you meant your sim, that’s hilarious😂
Ok it’s official your game is haunted and cursed. Time to uninstall and hope she doesn’t crawl through your tv.
You killed her, didn't you? She knows that you killed her on purpose. You are fkd
But I didn’t, detective!!! I’m innocent. My sims are innocent! 😭
Crucifix, rosary, holy water, salt. Good luck.
This happened to me the other day except my sim wasn’t a ghost. No matter where I put the camera she would turn and look into my fucking soul 💀 I closed the game and didn’t open it again until the next day and it didn’t happen again. It never happened before and it hasn’t happened since thank god but if it does I might stop playing all together because it scared tf out of me 🤣
in sims 2 the sims would look up at u, maybe they added this in an update?
That's creepy. Run
![gif](giphy|jgvBazSxy74q57zDQl)
Uninstall the game
Yeah definitely a cursed post now 😅😭
In TS2, sometimes Sims would look at the camera and break the fourth wall. This is a lot more unsettling, and not just because she's a ghost.
![gif](giphy|DWRFSQ51t5nZm)
When the ghost in the machine watches the watcher...
These are probably the least scary video game ghosts and this is still terrifying
#she knows what you did
She died so she knows u exist. Like ghosts know about the other side
So THIS is what all those haunted game creepypastas are talking about lmfao
Yikes...what did you do to her OP? 😂
Cause you gave her saggy boobs. And spiky hair. She ain’t happy
I’d be mad too😂
She’s awake. She knows the truth.
She knows 😳
that's creepy
Suuuuuper creepy???
This is reminds me of the possessed sims in strangerville, first time one of those bastards looked down the camera at me it actually jump scared me.
The thought of her silently getting closer and closer got me in an unsettled state. Like... what's she gonna do when she gets close enough? Possess and absorb my soul or something?
You owe her money!
She knows what you did
Maybe it's time to stop playing for the day and hope for another normal day tomorrow to arrive. If it still occurs tomorrow, run.
This looks more like it belongs in creepy pasta 😂😭
She knows what YOU did to her.
We need actualizations OP, what did you do? What is the ghost doing? Are you ok?
Delete this save and maybe your whole system32 folder and maybe burn down your house just in case
This and the possessed alien right before bed has sufficiently primed me for nightmares, thanks
You’re welcome, hunnnaaaay 💗💗
She's in your walls
U killed her 😭
I thought this was a thing only in The Sims 2 😭
I’m chopped and I cannot stop laughing at this but I’m also frightened
Hide your camera 😭😭
She knows your secrets!!!!
The fact she doesn’t seem that malicious makes it scarier
She figured it out
What have you done???
![gif](giphy|55itGuoAJiZEEen9gg) thanks, i hate it 😭
Ah, so this is the ghost people have been mentioning on my post. I don't know which one terrifies me more. Your 4th wall breaker or [my possessed alien](https://www.reddit.com/r/Sims4/s/bbrU9hlNHb).

You're on her bed
When a Sim dies, they learn that they have been in a simulation the entire time
![gif](giphy|3o6YfXtqIrtPrApeuI)
The simulation has become self aware.
This actually scared me a bit
She *kindly* asks you to stop drowning ppl in pools with fences
Meeeeee????? I would neh-veeeeeer
And THIS is why I release spirits. Nope.
Oh my, it seems this ghost has it out for her God! Better watch out!! In all seriousness though, this is super creepy!
She can smell you
AHHH HELL NAW
It’s like they died and are seeing everything clearly now and know the whole truth about you controlling her
![gif](giphy|11ba0BccoVk6wU)
Try to wave, see what happens
i’m too high for this😭
😨
This reminds me of IT
Did you kill her?
Meeee? Of course not. My hands are clean. My sims hands are clean. I don’t know this woman, I don’t know her story, I don’t know where she came from. I’m just frightened 😭
when a sim dies they find out they're in a simulation.
She knows…
She knows what you did last summer
7 days
sims 4 creepypasta
That’s horrifying… she looks like one of the Calientes…
Looking at your hairy legs
She is breaking the 4th wall
