This story of Facebook stalking is so crazy we're almost impressed. Well, almost. Mostly, we're just freaked out. We all know some light Facebook stalking is a fact of modern life at this point, but Scotland's Jill Sharp managed to turn it into a full-blown lifestyle.
31-year-old Sharp was accused of stalking a man named Graham McQuet for FOUR years.
It began with Sharp photoshopping pictures of McQuet and his real girlfriend, Marianna Stirling, to look like photos of herself and McQuet.

She would then share them on social media. Eventually, she upped the ante and told people the two were engaged to be married.To add authenticity to this deep web of catfishing, Sharp created a fake Twitter account for McQuet (under a new, false name)
She even started acting as both sides, and wrote long and romantic messages back and forth.In perhaps her creepiest move, Sharp went so far as to meticulously retrace the steps of a trip the actual couple took to London.
The plan seemed to be working until her close friends realized they had never met this mysterious man she had agreed to marry.
"She put up a picture claiming they were having a weekend away in London but the two images were completely different,"
Sharp's friends decided to track down McQuet, and contact him to find out the truth once and for all.
McQuet revealed that he had no idea who Jill Sharp was and that he was, in fact, engaged to a woman named Marianne Stirling.
After this bombshell discovery, McQuet's real soon-to-be-wife tweeted about this strange occurrence.
Typically in investigations like this, the police can't do anything until an actual crime has been committed.

“The police have told them that no criminal activity has taken place, apparently she’s allowed to impersonate whoever she wants to impersonate," a friend said. "The police just weren’t interested." But the Jill Sharp saga doesn't end there.
