Hi diddle riddle! Can you defeat a mind such as mine?
You have topped me once again, Mr. Viva. CRAMBONE!

See, like my mom always says, there's a logical explanation for everything! Except she has this friend that lost her son in a drowning accident when he was about seventeen. She always had these knicknacks all over the house, including this little music box that was broken, and it would randomly play a couple notes from time to time. It happened when we went to visit her and she yelled to her husband, "That's Lenny!" and they both yell, "Hi Lenny!" She then explains what was going on and shows us that the winding mechanism inside was broken. That kind of screwed up my nine year old brain
Complete, total silence kind of unsettles me because every tiny little sound makes my mind race. I always keep a guitar in my bedroom, sitting on a stand, and in all the years I've done that, none have ever made a sound... until I bought this one particular guitar that let out a PING! the first night I brought it home! I must have jumped a foot into the air when that happened, so it immediately went into the case... "It's haunted! I gotta get rid of it!" Couple days go by, I'm playing it, putting it back into the case, and my cello starts to get some playing time soon after. Again, I bring it into my bedroom and that night... A much louder PING! "Oh crap, there's a ghost in here...!" Then it dawns on me that *maybe the humidity in my bedroom* might have something to do with the PINGs
And of course we love you! Or at least we're moderately fond of one another
I used to find those 'True ghost stories' on TV annoying. The ghosts were always colonial. Why no '70s ghosts?
I don't know about ghosts, but this is pretty creepy...
What the hell was that?
I have no idea...but it nearly made me tinkle myself.
What the hell was that?
I'm no stranger to odd occurrences. My whole life I've had random chills, seen lights flicker, surge, turn on/off, and I sometimes see quick things that pass just in my periphery. I guess I could say I feel spiritual presence a lot. Sometimes It's friendly and sometimes it seems a little hostile and it makes me extremely nervous.
I guess I'll start off with one of my first experiences. When I was five I lived in orange county, my mother ended up renting a house belonging to her close friend. She needed to move because her husband had just died of cancer. He died in the house in what would soon become my bedroom. Shortly after moving in I was up in room, having a fit about something or other. I was crying in bed and the room was silent. I felt a big hand on my back and a man's voice say, "girl, why are you crying?". Naturally, I ran out of the room screaming. My sisters laughed at me and so I never brought it up again. I know it happened, though. In retrospect I wish I would have answered the question instead of rudely barging out on my mothers friends recently deceased husband. Who knows, I'm sure he was a nice guy. Maybe he had a message. I guess I'll never know, I never heard a voice in that house again. Still, I always felt an off sort of presence. It's like the kind of natural feeling you get that alerts you that someone is looking at you. I get that a lot. locking eyes with people for an uncomfortable second and things of that nature. But, I digress.
I'm noticing it happening a lot here at my new house. It usually starts with a loud banging noise anywhere between 2 and 5am. Something will fall over or papers end up all over the kitchen floor. This is always followed by my cat absolutely freaking out. I don't talk about it very much because it's pretty scary. I mostly try to ignore it, but I feel like spirits want to bother me all the time. I've never really read up on the subject, I just know how I feel and that alone is enough to spook me. I also have other talents, like razor sharp intuition. I know immediately when something is wrong with anyone I care about.
I'm sure there are and will be "70s" ghosts; but as for why they always seem to be colonial, as you put it...there are two answers.
One is that very simply, those houses have been around much longer, the ghosts had corporeal lives many many years ago, and so there has been much more time for the stories to circulate and many more tenants/visitors to the haunted locations who would then relate those tales to others.
Secondly, there is a theory -which I think makes sense- that when you die, it isn't just POP you are in Heaven, or POP you are in Nirvana, or POP you are a ghost back on Earth...but that there is probably some kind of process, almost a "waste management" program, if you will, enacted by a higher powered entity, or entities. When we die (are thrown away), the leftovers (our spiritual/psycho-magnetic contents that contain our "selves") are retrieved by whatever is running the show. At that point, either the tapes are erased and recycled for re-corporealization (re-incarnation) or, depending on things, relegated to some kind of eternal playground or prison, or...something gets stuck or lost along the way and cannot be properly sorted/disposed of/recycled...which then eventually finds its way back to this realm and is a ghost. But it takes awhile, hence the reason that stories of ghosts from the last 20 or 30 years are not as rife.
Still another idea-which I also think has some merit, but do not particularly believe- is that there are no ghosts per se, only malevolent spirits posing as the disembodied deceased so as to deceive the living into rejecting the notion of a "Heaven" or "Hell" which would then free up the living to do whatever the f*** they want (provided they escape real jail on Earth), because once they're dead, there's no God, so who cares.
Again...just a theory.
Neither are things that we have any real ability to understand. And many Judeo-Christian dogmatic concepts certainly contradict the idea of ghosts.
Yes the Hag is interesting; not sure if you noticed but it was discussed a bit at the outset of this thread. I think that many "night terrors" that people experience -sleep paralysis and all that- may have supernatural ties.
A very interesting case. If you guys find yourselves bored at home on this grisly Friday night, invest an hour in this.
Kenzie, are you familiar with a late night radio talk show called Coast to Coast AM? I think you may love it.
Google it to see what station and time it is on in your area. Trust me...if you like this thread, you will not regret it.
