The Older Brother is a creepy riddle about a girl whose parents were murdered by her elder sibling. Read the following story carefully and see if you can discern what is really going on.
The Older Brother
A girl told her friend that she had a dark secret she had been hiding for years. Her parents had been murdered when she was 15 years old. She said that her older brother had gone insane and stabbed her mother and father to death.
The friend was shocked at the terrible story she was hearing.
“I’m so sorry,” she said, comforting the girl. “What happened to your older brother after that?”
“He was arrested by the police”, said the girl. “There was a trial. I sat in the courtroom for weeks, listening to the lawyers argue their case. Eventually, my brother was convicted of murder and sentenced to be executed.”
“That’s horrible!” said the friend.
“Yes, it was,” the girl replied. “He was on death row for a long time. Then he was executed by lethal injection.”
“It must have been so difficult for you,” said the friend.
“You wouldn’t believe how hard it was”, said the girl. “I went through life in a daze. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep. I tried to block out the terrible memories. I suffered from depression, anxiety, even amnesia. It took me years and years to recover.”
“Have you ever talked to anyone about this before?” asked her friend.
“No, never,” replied the girl. “I have so many questions, but they’ll never be answered now. I was present at my older brother’s execution, but he never said a word. He never explained why he killed our parents. He just stared silently at me as they gave him the lethal injection.”
“There’s still a way you could get some answers,” said her friend. “I don’t know if you would be interested, but I know a woman who is a psychic. She can communicate with the dead. She’s very good. Maybe she could help you find the answers you are looking for.”
A few days later, the girl arranged to meet the psychic and consulted her about her past. The psychic turned down the lights, lit some candles and sat down in her chair. Then, she tossed back her head and went into a deep trance.
A few minutes passed and the girl sat in silence.
“Now, you may ask me any question you wish,” whispered the psychic.
“What caused my older brother to lose his mind?” asked the girl, nervously.
“Your brother was never crazy”, replied the psychic quietly. “He was always perfectly sane.”
“Then Why did my older brother kill my parents?” asked the girl.
“Your brother was only responsible for the death of one person,” said the psychic.
Suddenly, the girl understood everything. She buried her face in her hands and began crying uncontrollably.
Do you understand what really happened?
THE GIRL KILLED THE PARENTS AND LIED TO HER FRIENDS AND SHE BLAMED HER BRO ABOUT IT AND SHE CANT REMEMBER CAUSE SHE HAS AMNESIA CAUSE SHE WENT CRAZY AND PROBABLY GOT PILLS FROM THE INSANE ASYLUM SO SHE CANT REMEMBER THINGS SO SHE CAN LIVE A NORMAL LIFE THEN THE PSYCHIC REMINDED HER AND NOW SHE IS CRYING
oh……….. thanks to the brilliant answers! now i understood!
Oh, sorry to everyone who posted the answer before me. I hadn’t read all the comments before posting.
Isn’t it obvious? Her brother took the fall for the girl murdering her parents. The person who’s death he caused was his own by making that sacrifice. She can’t remember due to amnesia.
aaaaaaaawwwwww omg hew brother is so sweet…but wait it said only 1 parent got killed by the boy so he murdered one and she murdered one?
I’m not sure what the answer is but i think the 1 death he was responsibal for was his own.
The girl killed one of her parents and her brother killed the other because she has the disease Amnesia she could’ve possibly thought they were bad OR her parents were evil and they killed them before they could kill the children.
the girl killed the parents but her brother took the blame the reason she wouldn’t remember is because she had amnesia
is it right? i’m not sure :D
I think that either 1:The brother killed her,or 2:The girl was insane and not her brother.
im 9. OH! :) i under stand! the brother was jelosh because the parents were probly mostly caring for the girl! yours is good too, fem-demon21
i think the girl murdered one of her parents, and the brother murdered another so that there will be no witness to the crime. the older brother took all the blame and punishment just t protect his sister.. he must have loved his sister so much..
I KNOW EITHER THE MOM KILLED THE DAD OR THE DAD KILLED THE MOM
AND THE BROTHER KILLED ONE TO STOP THEM FROM GETTING TO THE LITTLE GIRL
The girl killed the parents and the boy killed her.
Liar! The girl is liar! She lied to her friend! Her friend told her “Did you told this to someone?” She said “No,Never!” but she is a liar she told us!
The girl killed the pearents and the boy got the blame but the girl tried to kill herself and went to an isylum?
i have no bleepin clue
the girl killed the parents and the brother decided 2 take the blame
OMG this is scary so at first I thought the brother murdered the girl and she was a ghost and the parents were still alive but I was wrong it turned out that she was the killer and his brother took the blame bad girl excellent brother god that brother is nice concidering brothers and sisters always fight.
i got it!, the boy killed himself,and instead of the brother being dead by injection, it was the father, and the father killed the wife
Aw! The brother is the nicest sweetest brother ever! I wanna hug his pain away! ;(
The parents committed suicide and the brother died by the injection? Oh, I got it so wrong.
