For those of us who have lost love ones, we find comfort in keeping their prized possessions and belongings. These objects may bring back fond memories you shared with the deceased person. For one YouTuber, this came in the form of an Xbox rally game which belonged to deceased dad.

In a YouTube video which delves the idea of spiritual experiences in video games, user 00WARTHERAPY00 described a heartbreaking story about the time he spent playing Xbox with his father, who died when he was six. The user discovered his father’s ghost car, which was recorded when the player clocked the fastest time on Rallisport Challenge.

The comment went viral on Reddit, and resulted in hundreds of sympathetic condolences from users all around the world.

YouTuber Mark Riv was among one of the many users who were touched by the story. "I am going to make sure I tell my Dad I love him. I never took him for granted or anything, but I just think it is the right thing to do. Thanks for making a difference by sharing your story", he said.

00WARTHERAPY00 was truly surprised at the comment hitting viral status, saying it had "never happened before, and that "it was just a comment... nothing more".

Thanks for sharing, such a touching story and brings back incredibly fond memories of playing video games with my parents (thankfully still alive), Grand Turismo II was the favourite, we'd race, my mom would be terrible and just crashing all the time, and I'd just sit there laughing and laughing, watching her ghost hit the wall, back up and spin around and then seeing my car reversing back behind her just to wind her up haha.

Great story, thanks again for the share @exterminator20 brought back some real good memories for me

Nice story. I'm a GT2 fanatic. Remembers playing with my cousin trying to beat my Spoon Civic ghost car. I used to play Tekken with my kid when he was 3. Until now we still play but I'm not a patient guy so I cheat, money, experience etc so I can do more in lesser time.
