[WP] In a bizarre supernatural event, your gaming console receives the next 200 years of Madden NFL games. You attempt to discern humanity's fate solely from them.	710
[WP] Every couple centuries, an immortal comes to the same village, begging to die. Unable to do that, they rid the immortal of their memories, who appears none the wiser.	255
[WP] Wars in the future are fought with clones of one of the greatest soldiers who ever lived, with all their memories intact. Problem: before their mind was copied for mass production, they were one stubbed-toe away from a violent, ugly-crying mental breakdown.	164
[WP] Ghost hunters have successfully found concrete evidence of something intelligent and invisible existing all around us. However, it is not the spirits of the dead. It is far worse.	54
[WP] Standard horror movie setup: survivors, spooky house, murderous spirit. However, the legitimately threatening ghost looks identical to the white-sheet Halloween costume.	42
[WP] There are multiple co-existing afterlives - a Christian Heaven, a Norse Valhalla, a Buddhist reincarnation system, etc. However, nobody is actually going to the right place when they die.	37
[WP] Gods gain power from belief but also shift as those tales change, so long as theme and depictions are similar. The Greek Pantheon extended their reign as Roman variants, but Zeus has found himself a hundredfold stronger from Christianity's strikingly similar "bearded old man in the sky."	17
[WP] Humanity discovers that ghosts of the deceased can watch their body and loved ones for a temporary time after their death, and society adjusts to either saying goodbyes, keeping up facades, or insulting empty air...all while never knowing concretely WHEN a ghost is finally gone.	15
[WP] Every so often, Santa slips on a roof and is replaced. Rarer still, someone kills the Reaper and becomes the new rider of the Pale Horse. You? You found all the paper scraps, watched all the glitchy videos, and have become the new Slender Man.	14
[WP] In the future, the rich and powerful live in spaceships that move quick enough to exploit time dilation. They get to engineer and observe centuries of progress, while those below live in accordance with extremely lethargic oversight.	14
