You know sometimes you get those emails from someone, that say you have to send them to people or else? Well I got one today, and it might have actually been haunted...

For context, my dad owns an auto repair shop and I work at the front desk (besides being a psychic of course). I was checking emails, as I usually do, when I got this email from a mysterious user, gemmahiro667@hotmail.com titled "YOU ARE IN DANGER". Now, I don't really believe in these spam emails… they're obviously fake and just meant to be sent to as many people as possible. Even if one was haunted, I wouldn't open it, because opening it would release a curse. Unfortunately... I went to the bathroom, and when I came back, my dad was at the computer and was reading it! He didn't believe it either, but, well, obviously, something DID happen, since I'm talking about it here.

My poor dad had a HORRIBLE rest of the day. Shortly after deleting the email, a hammer fell on his foot, and it was the one day he forgot to wear his steel-toed shoes. Later, I tripped and spilled coffee on him by accident and it burned him! He also lost the keys to someone else's car for awhile. It's been nothing short of a terrible day. I don't think he got cursed, but he probably got hexed. Naturally, hexes aren't as bad as curses, but they aren't to be taken lightly, either.

For a while I wasn't sure what to do- I'm a psychic medium, not a witch! But then, I had a genius idea: I should forward the email to a priest to exercise the email or lift the hex. And luckily for my dad, his best friend, Fr. Alvarez, is a priest, and he usually stops in for coffee every Friday night with him. Som that night, I pitched the idea to him. After explaining my dad's unfortunate circumstance, he said that, while it may be difficult to exercise an email, sending it would probably work anyways, because he didn't check his personal email. So, I sent it, and it seems like dad's hex is gone! So, the next time you have a spam email, send it to a priest... or, if you don’t have one on hand, then a dead relative's email is probably OK too.
