Hello and welcome to mini episode 280 of Real Life Gold Stories and I have three spooky

stories for you today and the last story comes from the 8th of March 2023 and story number one

comes from Sophia who may just be one of our youngest listeners. It's me Sophia who sent in the

story about the Jaeger Beast. That wasn't my only strange thing that had happened. Today I'm going

to tell you about my imaginary friend that I had named Autumn. I say imaginary in quotes because

I have a feeling that she wasn't. Mainly because she was different from my actually imaginary friend

peaches who was basically Scooby Doo but orange. I remember making up peaches but Autumn just kind of

showed up one day and I decided she was just something I'd imagined. She was a girl around nine or so.

I think the eldest she might have been was 11. From what I remember she had long black hair that

normally covered her eyes, freckles and pale skin and she always wore a green bucket hat.

She often showed up at random times and asked me random questions or made me second guess myself

about things. Not only that but she really wanted to steal my bike and mentioned that she had a

shiny green bike with a brown basket on the front. She was also very mean and bossy to me for

seemingly no reason. My mom told me one time that she said, you know if she's your imaginary

friend you can make her be nicer to you. She doesn't have to be so mean. And apparently I said,

I can't make her be nicer. My mom also said that I talked about her like she was a kid at my school

that I was friends with. She often moved my toys too but I thought I must have done it because I

was convinced she was just part of my imagination despite the signs that she wasn't.

From what I remember she often liked to hang out with me around sunset and especially loved it

when we went to the park. She would sit on the swings with me but didn't swing herself

and she was really good at the monkey bars. Though she only really liked one park called

Arbony Park where I've had paranormal experiences. When we went to any other park she would be upset.
