This happened a few years ago, but it still bothers me to this day,so i kinda want to know if im the asshole here, (sorry about my spelling) for some backstory :


It was Thursday and we were at class, we had finished all our lessons, so we had nothing to do, our teacher told us we can do whatever we want, so a friend of mine brings out his phone and opens a "" horror"" game that functions like a prank, here's how it works: you ask the app a personal question and it knows the answer, now  the app knows the answer because the person who downloaded the app is able to make the question and the answer.

So he decides to prank all of our classmates, he starts with me but I already knew the app and so did everyone else, except for one guy, so we go up to him, try to scare him with questions like: who's right next to me? What's this guy's name? What's that guys name? The app answered correctly for each one, he was still pretty confident the app is fake, but one thing that made the guy a bit scared was when my friend gave him the phone, told him he could ask whatever he wanted but me and my friend already had a plan that surprisingly worked, my friend would write answers and I would stay next to the guy and tell him he could ask the app my questions, and he did, he was now convinced the app was some kind of ghost trying to communicate.

He was religious and believed in ghosts, he also believed ghosts could murder whoever they want

This is where I thought of an idea

I started telling him fake stories about how if you ask this app more than 3 questions it would go after you and your family, he started being worried, then my friend, who overheard us, decided he would make the answers threats towards this guy's family.

So now, me and my friend, intentionally go sit next to him, and we ask the app a few questions, we read the answers loudly so he can overhear us.

At this point, he started trembling, tears started forming in his eyes, and he just loudly started crying, we started telling him it was fake, but he refused to believe us because he thought we were trying to calm him down.

Our teacher heard the cry, and was dead worried, she asked us what was going on

Luckily our teacher was very open so we just told her everything, she then tried to calm him down but it was no use, he just kept on crying for half an hour saying things like "I don't want my mother to die" or "they can take me but not my family"

We never thought it would get this far, we even thought he was just pretending he was scared (cause sometimes the app would just not answer at all) half of our classmates were saying that we took it way too far. So AITA??


TL;DR : some guy believed that ghosts exist and could go after people, we intentionally prank him with an app, he believes it and ends up crying
