The internet has given us the amazing ability to share our experiences with the rest of the world.
But sometimes, a viral story is so unbelievable because it's a straight-up hoax. Sure, we like to think we're too smart to be scammed, but hoaxes aren't always easy to spot.
The other problem is that sometimes a story is so cool that we just want it to be true. So we buy into it and share, share, share! I'll admit, I've had to delete a couples posts after checking my facts.
If you bought into any of these stories, don't worry — we won't judge!
