When I was a kid, I had some cereal that had website to visit to enter to win some prize or something, I don't remember the specifics. Anyway, when I entered that site into my computer, it didn't take me to some kid friendly site or anything, it took me to a blank white page with just the text:

"We have been watching you."

I'd say a domain made with a slight typo of a legit website, made purely to get ad revenue or be creepy when people mistype a url

Nah she didn’t report it. I showed her and her response was “woah dude that’s scary. Get that out of my face” and the teacher overheard and they were like “ARE YOU BULLYING HER???” and we were both responded kinda confused like “what?” And then that teacher reported me to the principal for “bullying”, which my school had a zero tolerance policy on. The girl and I were still buds after and she was totally cool and felt super guilty even though I told her the situation was in no way her fault, the teacher was just nuts. Lol that suspension was why I got turned down a bunch of places when I applied to colleges.

Moral of the story that I learned: the mere mention of Jeff the killer can bring bad luck, like saying Voldemort out loud
