Crazy Aunt Goes Psycho
Everyone has that one wacky relative that everyone says to stay away because they’re crazy. But Reddit user unlimitedanna’s aunt really was crazy, which she proved when she started coming at them with a pair of scissors in her hand.
“My parents sent me to live with my grandmother when I was seven. They had to work in another city for a couple of months while waiting for my big brother to finish middle school. I was ecstatic to live at my grandma’s, since she would spoil the [heck] out of me. She lived in a two-bedroom house with four of my aunts and my uncle.
However, three of my aunts and me slept piled into one bedroom while my uncle and grandma slept in the living room. The reason? One of my aunts was schizophrenic and had a whole bedroom to herself. My aunt had been crazy for years (my grandma wasn’t the best making her take her pills) and she would spend hours talking to herself and drawing with crayons on the wall. Looking back, it’s creepy as [heck]. But as a child I was having a blast living in a house where I was the sanest person around. This ended rather abruptly when I woke up with my crazy aunt pointing some scissors at my neck. The most plausible story is that she wanted to cut one of my hair strands, as she had picked this habit of cutting hair for a couple of months. However, we never knew for sure. Almost immediately my parents picked me up, and moved to a very old house where earthworms came out of the toilet and shower drain at night. As a child I thought I had woken to a living nightmare.”
