Like I'm going to add a photo that I actually took which actually happened and not in any attempt to make a creepypasta creepier :/

The issue is that a number of stories still use that opening so much so that it's become a trope. It's best to avoid it and focus on telling the story in a believable way. A lot of stories have a basis in real life, with the ending being dramatized. Stating that really doesn't make for a more immersive story.
