The Haunted Fridge

A man has posted fliers offering up a FREE REFRIGERATOR that looks nice and works fine.  There are two catches.  ONE:  You have to pick it up yourself.  And TWO:  It's possessed by his dead stepmother.  (???)

The flier says, "My stepmother had a heart attack on our kitchen floor in the middle of an electrical storm, and her soul was transferred into [our] smart fridge.  She's been subtly undermining me ever since . . .

"Commenting on how many processed cheese slices I've eaten, or whether I've put a lid back on [properly]."  He didn't describe HOW she "communicates."

He says his wife finds "comfort" in the mother's presence being in the fridge . . . but he can't handle it anymore, so "she has to go."  So it sounds like he might be confusing "stepmother" with "mother-in-law."

As fun as this story is, it might be an elaborate prank.  There's a number at the bottom of the flier, but if you call it, it connects you to an appliance store.  And the people there say they've got "maybe 100 calls" about a cursed fridge, but they don't know anything about it.

PLEASE BE REAL. PLEASE BE REAL.

BTW - If you're not sure if your being haunted - here's a couple of ways to figure it out:
