j'ai cru à une blague de mes amis

Can someone explain the structure of this phrase: "j'ai cru à une blague de mes amis"? I would've thought the translation would be more like, "J'ai cru que c'était une blague de mes amis".

This question relates to:French writing exercise "A Horror Story"

Hi Tom,

Both versions are accepted in French and in this exercise.

It's just an idiomatic way of saying the same thing -
