At horse riding class the other day we had a new student join for a try-out. I chatted with her a bit before class, she told me about her job as a chiropractor and horse masseuse, and how she uses telepathy to communicate with the horses, before and during her sessions. She could also see ghosts, and told me how she's currently being haunted by the ex-neighbour who really wants to hang out in her living room. Apparently you stop ghosts by shouting at them, so currently the old lady ghost is haunting her hallway and occasionally throwing keys on the floor to signal her displeasure.

I had a coworker like this who told me that people were looking for her and her husband because they had a copy of the real Necronomicon. These people legit make me speechless irl, like I have no idea what to even say to mfers just making poo poo up so brazenly.

Not even voluntarily, I just can't muster up the energy to humor whatever weird poo poo they think I'm stupid enough to believe.

She reminded me of this girl I knew in highschool who was very spiritual and into all that sort of stuff. She claimed she could see ghosts and that she had been a shaman in a previous life. She also had a great set of tits, a winning smile and a great laughter and I had a mad crush on her. She called the ghosts shades and told me sometimes they would come into her apartment but she'd shoo them out. Just mundane stuff like that. One exception was she told me how she had been at the mall once and saw a child-sized shade following a couple around. I don't understand how people make up this sort of thing and talk about it with that kind of conviction. Highschool crush had a real natural talent as a horse whisperer, so maybe these types of people just gravitate towards horses.

Why are hauntings always old-timey and never modern? Why are ghosts always Victorian children singing a sad lullaby or a 1920s dapper man in a top hat or a malevolent 1950s asylum doctor? Where the gently caress are the modern ghosts? Did people stop dying after 1960?

Two theories. 1. It's never been so easy to have an endless library of video in your hands. Those moments of quiet where your brain isn't doing anything are fewer and farther between. People aren't open to subtle things/their brain isn't making its own entertainment. 2. 2016 reminded everyone that the scariest thing is their neighbor with a MAGA hat, and for those wearing the MAGA hats, the right wing infosphere tells them what to be afraid of every day.

Cubone posted:ghosts are real, but their essence is dissipated by wifi and cellphone signals, so you only get hauntings in areas with low coverage, which are getting fewer and further between. but those also tend to be areas with low populations, meaning there's less chance of there even being enough dead people to haunt, and on top of that, well, less people to see them if they do thank you for the explanation this makes sense

Nooner posted:This post needs to be made into a goddamn StoryCorp Yeah that would legit be awesome. As it turns out ghosts happen to be farts. Bascially, certain foods you can eat combine in your stomach and intestine to produce a certain smell that causes people to see ghosts. Its highly scientific. I don't think you would understand so I won't explain it further.

The ghost threads were a major factor in me reg'ing here. I still have a pdf of one of the old skinwalker threads saved, full of grammar errors no less. I also have a physical copy of humper-monkeys story some goon did a self publish run on Amazon with.

I have to say there are some very talented writers that used to post here. I do have to agree with the poster above taht said that when it comes to spooky stories less is more. I have a hard time with a lot of the newer creepypastas and the such with the fact that they are all either lists of rules or something stupid like that. Sometimes things are creepy because they are unexplainable....they don't need to be explained and described down to the last detail.

All the spam emails you get are actually from the ghosts of Nigerian princes and Hot Horny Ladies in Your Area. God was super bored with thousands of years of the woooo spooky stuff, and when the internet came around, it had a new outlet to be a giant dick. No escaping the prison of eternal afterlife (everyone you can't stand is still there) for the freeing bliss of non-existence until you can scam at least a mil in iTunes gift cards, bitcoins, or straight up money transfers from romance scams.

ManBoyChef posted:It is this. That zac baggins dude...gently caress me dead that guy makes me look like some kinda high class socialite. He cant go five minutes without embarrassing himself and everyone watching that show. When I was in college, I took a Gothic lit course, and the professor had us watch an episode of Ghost Adventures as an assignment. I thought that poo poo was hilarious. Something about watching a douchey buffoon talk poo poo to ghosts that weren't there was so funny to me. I'm not usually one for reality TV, but that train wreck of a show really hit the sweet spot. I can't imagine anyone taking that doofus seriously, though. BeastOfTheEdelwood fucked around with this message at 05:49 on Mar 20, 2023 |

I don't really get the wearing a sheet thing if you were an actual visible ghost, it's sort of the clothing version of using the hard R since some people kind of ruined the whole wearing a sheet thing. People are gonna make assumptions about you and you have to preface all the hauntings with "Wooowooo, I'm not racist, but..." Seems tiring. Just like be a gross corpse and drag chains around or something. Throw crap around.

After the first use of the atomic bomb, the reproductive method of the human soul was sterilized. With Heaven no longer receiving an intake of fresh souls, it began allowing in the lost souls trapped on Earth as ghosts passage to Heaven or Hell. In time, Heaven will begin to open their doors to the damned of Hell just to have some variety. After eternity upon eternity in this Heaven, with everyone having been able to see and know everything, the dead will hunger for an impossible oblivion of non-existence to end their boredom. edit: The only people with souls walking around in this day and age are the handful who are over 80s years old. The rest of us will have no paradise or eternal life or even the ability to haunt. We will simply end. JediTalentAgent fucked around with this message at 08:45 on Mar 20, 2023 |

I used to be a complete skeptic, but finally admitted there's just way too much evidence of supernatural phenomena to dismiss, e.g. chairs, kitchen utensils, even heavy bricks flying horizontally through the air for no natural reason (poltergeists or demons or similar, presumably). Why don't you post in that Do Ask, Do Tell (I forget its exact name) non-GBS subforum? Pls shoot me a private message if you do, I'd be sure to be fascinated by your experiences, and I'm sure many others would too.
