    How come it’s always some pale-ass Victorian era ghost? Where’s all the ghosts of kids who died doing tiktok challenges? Wake up at the witching hour hearing a disembodied voice be like

    “On god I’m dead, no cap fam.”

      I’ll never forget I was 4 years old I asked my dad if the pictures on the wall could see. Without taking a moment to think, he simply said “Yes.” I immediately suspected he was an idiot and that entire exchange has stayed with me.

    I think many Americans perceive themselves as having a spiritual ‘negative karma’ so to speak.

    Especially religious people and in particular Christians that believe they are born with that negative karma (original sin).

      Are we gonna acknowledge the hundreds/thousands of years Christians used their faith to invade and occupy numerous regions of the world? Then they enslaved the native people to extract local resources for the gain of the Church white people. Or in the case of America just lynch and murder the indigenous people. Maybe thats why Americans are afraid of their racist origins and ghosts

          they invented those traditions so that they can stay in the haunted house. being haunted ain’t fun but moving is a fucking hassle.

      Can confirm, have had mythical beast in house for a couple of decades at this point. Doesn’t do any harm so long as we keep some coins taped to the wall nearby, protects the place otherwise.

                Course it’s the fucken Midwest, love em but I swear those lands have the same properties as the Black Forest or the bogs of Scotland. Which is to say the region is collectively insane in a very particular way.

                  Kinda, but it’s also just an area in which Scots and Germans intermarried and built a culture together.

        I think they mostly mixed into the native population after a while though. At least in Europe. Australia should probably have the same problem.
