Could they have stolen the story? Yes. But they could have equally had a similar experience, it’s not that implausible. I’ve known people that have nose bleeds like that, it’s not some incredibly rare condition, and saying hail Satan is the kind of thing tons of edgy kids/teens would do.
I did something similar to my mother. Except I came downstairs with blood all over my face and hands (I hadn’t found a tissue yet) and then tried acting like a zombie. I thought it was hilarious. She was shocked but got over it pretty quickly.

Things can happen more than once.
