Hi fellow non-ghosts, I thought it would be cool to have a thread where we could come together and share our various experiences exorcising malevolent spirits! uh no particular reason, but it would be extremely convenient to share strategies one could use to drive them out and, this is the important bit, keep them out! I'll start where I imagine most of you would start, namely wikihow. they recommend "firmly asking the spirit to leave, avoiding anger or fear" which sounds simple until you take into account how gosh darn irksome spirits can be. maybe they just don't know better but they've gotten into my edibles and dangit those things are expensive! anyway I feel like I've been sufficiently firm, if somewhat miffed, but they've decided to be stubborn. wikihow then provides this helpful suggestion:  I did not actually read the accompanying text but it's pretty obvious what they are depicting in the illustration, and believe me, I've been doing a LOT of that and it's not helping with the ghosts. as previously mentioned my edibles are now ruined (bloody eyeballs are not vegan dammit, these spirits are so darn insensitive) so this whole approach is mostly a failure. except at getting my household extremely  so it's not a total loss.so I kept going and found this illustration of a lady using gendered slurs against a demon:  and I'll be honest I'm just kind of uncomfortable using that sort of language around here. so let's put our heads together and come up with some alternatives!! |

Here's a tip - don't keep any white bedsheets in the house. That way if you see a white bedsheet style ghost, you know it's not a prankster from your own household This will help avoid any unfortunate proton pack accidents *looks sadly into the distance* |

When I see a ghost I typically turn stark white and blubber while trying to tell my companion and comedic foil about the ghost. Stuff like "I just saw.. a g.gg.gg.gg..." and I can't get the rest out. Sometimes I get so scared I flap my lips with my index finger while going "a-blee blee bloo blee". Hope that helps anyone else who inexplicably gets into ghost encounter scenarios on a weekly basis. |

I drink the paint and I use the flour to bathe myself like a chinchilla.

I'm haunted by all the loves that soured, all the opportunities not taken. So if you want to haunt a ghost I would say live a full, fulfilling life packed with intimate friendships and risks taken passionately, where a ghost can see it.

A ghost changing thread tags... a mod silencing their foes for hours at a time on a whim... are we both not mere insects playing god in the face of the whirlwind?

zack bagans is a douche because he goes to visit the ghosts and is always like "hey tell me about why you murdered your husband and hung yourself, let's talk about how you're dead" and never like "hey we brought some brews and an 8th of sour diesel and Ahmed brought his turntables and he's gonna do a drum n bass set if you wanna come downstairs and hang out" and its kind of a disgusting example of othering and exoticism by the Ghost Adventures crew.
