GHOSTS
 
Anyone believe in them? I think it's all a bunch of shit to be honest.

A few things have happened that I can't explain. My mom always said that our old house when I lived in Mississippi was haunted, I never believed it though.

twice when I was in the pool, my mom would be relaxing in a beach chair reading or something and I saw her shoes fly off her feet. Like as if someone pulled them off. She said it's happened a few other times before too.

Other times I would wake up (in the same house) and I would see a window on my ceiling with a dark shadowy figure looking down at me. I would always go turn the light on and there was never a window. It might have just been weird reoccurring dreams but I was really young though so I don't remember too much.

Forget being sent to your eternal reward/punishment after you die. All you do is sit around the house playing dumb pranks on gullible people.

Supafly345 Sep 17th, 2011 05:43 AM

The problem with ghosts is they always do stupid shit like turn on your lights or steal your pain meds, then everyone tells you that its not a ghost its your fucking shitty house or your goddamn roomate and they never believe you!

Seriously, I bet half of the people on zug are ghosts.

edit:

After checking zug for the first time in 3 years. Yes, most of these pranks are so stupid a ghost could do it. "A ghost sent me flowers from a man named Raul and my wife got suspicious that I was gay".
"I came home to a ghost playing a marathon of the worst video games ever."

You can't prove ghosts don't exist so you have to be agnostic about them or else you are stupid, but its not stupid to say they do exist without proving it. If ghosts don't exist than why would my parents tell me the howling coming from their room at night was a ghost? Explain that scientists.

ThrashO Sep 17th, 2011 09:39 PM

I think it's ridiculous that in this day in age even though there is no evidence at all of certain things (ghosts, aliens, religion) we still question them because some guy started saying something about it 5000 years ago.

But aliens most likely do exist, if you're meaning life on other planets. It may not be possible to ever see that other life, but it does exist.

That I can understand, I think there is life on other planets no matter how small, I do however don't think that they come all the way to earth just to fly into our atmosphere to get caught on camera then bounce.

At a hillbilly church one Sunday, the preacher asked if there were any of his parishioners who would like to confess a sin. Jeb raised his hand and stood up.
"I've been having sex with ghosts." he confided.
The preacher shook his head and told him, "Jeb, there's no such things as ghosts."
So Jeb replied, "Ghosts? Oh, sorry...I meant to say 'GOATS.'"

Me and my ex-gf went to visit her parents up in Maine one year, and we stayed with her uncle. Anyways everyone always said her uncles house was haunted but as usual I was like "lol". So we're staying in the upstairs bedroom and we here creaking and cracking and what sounds like foot steps on the roof. It was pretty creepy I'll be honest. So being a pussy at 17 we both went downstairs and told her hillbilly ass uncle.

So he comes up stairs with us, opens the door and says "IF THERE'S ANY GHOSTS IN HERE YOU CAN GO FUCK YOURSELVES."

The rest of the night we didn't hear shit.

He scared ghosts.

10,000 Volt Ghost Sep 19th, 2011 05:53 PM

Zhukov Sep 19th, 2011 11:14 PM

I went on a ghost tour in Edinburgh, and we went through some old sewers/caverns under the city where poor people used to congregate. They told us that there was a ghost that sometimes could be seen walking around at the end of a long hallway - so you look down this hallway and just in the distance you could make out a shadowy figure walking back and forth... some people were really creeped out.

The tour didn't take us down the hallway, but I made a slight detour on our way out, and it was just a thick, black line painted on the wall at the end - it shimmered in the dim light when you looked at it from a distance.

After the tour people where talking about how they were now convinced that ghosts existed. I fucking hated those people.

Pentegarn Sep 19th, 2011 11:32 PM

Time to remind everyone this was a show


k0k0 Sep 20th, 2011 12:25 AM

If I had to fight ghosts, I'd totally take Danny Glover with me too.

Kitsa Sep 21st, 2011 07:00 PM

I completely don't know one way or the other in regard to ghosts, but I can totally see how people would get themselves creeped out enough to believe in them. I just came back from my Top Secret Assignment in an area notorious for unexplainable, terrifying and malicious things, and I could totally see why it was that way. The sense of general doom gets under your skin.

I know a couple of night watchmen and they're some of the most easily frightened people I've ever met. It's got to be the atmosphere that primes them for it.

That being said, I have been to a couple of places (Octagon House in Wisconsin, and one particular plane at the Air Force museum) that just give me the full-on goosebumpy heebie-jeebies. I felt scared and sad and sick the entire time I was in the vicinity with no clear reason why.

Also, I had an aunt who told a relative she didn't like that she was coming back as a bird to haunt her. Damned if a bird didn't take up residence on the porch right after the funeral. Scared the everloving hell out of the woman, who remained convinced till her death that my aunt was haunting her.

10,000 Volt Ghost Sep 21st, 2011 10:06 PM

"I know a couple of night watchmen and they're some of the most easily frightened people I've ever met. It's got to be the atmosphere that primes them for it."

Lack of sleep probably.

A few of the grave shift employees "swear" they see ghosts at work. I think its because of the way our buildings are set up which creates light and dark hallways and the windows kinda act like mirrors.

Kitsa Sep 22nd, 2011 06:12 PM

I've worked graveyard shift and it can definitely make you weird in the head after a while.

I've heard of a lot of "ghost sightings" from night security guards at the USAF museum in Dayton. Really, that place is creepy in the day, with all the lights on. Not only are planes there that were the real scenes of gory deaths (one still has bloodstains in the cockpit), but, I mean, we have the plane that dropped the A-bomb on Nagasaki. That's really creepy when you think about how much death that thing brought about.

Not only that, but there are also many dioramas set up with creepy lifesize mannequins in them. Nazis, you name it. There's a big Holocaust exhibit that is just about the definition of tragedy and depression, not to mention one of the most sinister things mankind has ever pulled.

So really it's no wonder to me that these guys are seeing little Japanese kids running around the Bockscar at night or hearing machine-gunning coming out of the cockpits of some of these planes.

kahljorn Sep 22nd, 2011 11:33 PM

proly some dude just gets in the cockpit and makes sounds like, "NEEeeRRRRR CHCHCHCHCHCHChChC.. CHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCH.. NEEEERRRR"

i could do that all night

k0k0 Sep 22nd, 2011 11:42 PM

I could too. It's pretty awesome scaring people. I remember one halloween I hid in the empty garage with a strobe light going off in front of me. Whenever someone would come to the garage for candy, I'd get up and walk towards them but for some reason the strobe light would delay them seeing me until I was right in front of them. Maybe something having to do with the eyes, I don't know how it worked, but when I figured it out, it was awesome. I made people freak out all night. Some people dropped their candy and jumped back, others took off running at first. I could scare people all night it was just that entertaining. I can imagine it being a lot more fun when it's not halloween and people are just trying to do their jobs.

Zhukov Sep 23rd, 2011 01:29 AM

Hahaha. Nice work.

I have worked 12 hour night shifts, never seen anything, but I have been utterly scared and freaked out a few times just from bad feelings.


I love scaring people. One time whilst walking out of a pub late at night, I saw my friend in her car parked on the side of the road and texting on her phone. I slammed my hands and face up against her window, and at the very same second another cars horn blared. She screamed and flailed.

It was great timing.

kahljorn Sep 23rd, 2011 02:10 AM

dude you could have killed her

so irresponsible

ThrashO Sep 23rd, 2011 03:45 AM

My best friend was driving home and saw his girlfriends car at a gas station, so he stopped, got in her back seat, then when she got in he grabbed her and put his hand over her mouth like he was gonna give her the ol' Pram Maven.

I love scaring people too, but I'm sure this bitch almost had a heart attack.

Pentegarn Sep 23rd, 2011 06:48 AM

Especially cause as he put his hand over her mouth e said "Pram Maven's gonna get ya!"

That'll scare any woman/child/non white

kahljorn Sep 23rd, 2011 07:09 AM

10,000 Volt Ghost Sep 23rd, 2011 11:29 AM

Best way to use a strobe light to frighten people is shuffle toward them by moving your feet really fast. Go at them in a SSSS pattern. Next time I get a strobe light I'll make a video of it.

Sure it was, light refracted off Venus through some swamp gas

ItalianStereotype Sep 28th, 2011 09:41 PM

Ghosts aren't a legitimate explanation. Just because you don't have a good answer, doesn't mean that you should settle for the next best thing (a bad answer).

Sorry, that didn't mean to sound like I was lecturing you or anything. Carry on.

ItalianStereotype Sep 30th, 2011 05:46 AM

I didn't necessarily say it was ghosts, I only said that I wasn't willing to dismiss the possibility. I've done everything short of tearing down this apartment complex, then rebuilding it brick by brick to find out what caused it.

I was hallucinating the other night because of a reaction to the pain pills I'm taking and had a party at a 'puppy airport'. This airport took place entirely on my bed. I guess that's the best way my brain could explain what it was seeing. Anyways, your ghost deal is probably like that. A fuck up of the brain.

Pentegarn Oct 2nd, 2011 07:04 PM

Or they were on their way to the puppy airport

ItalianStereotype Oct 2nd, 2011 11:58 PM

My only real fuck up of the brain involves my epilepsy. This was an actual hair pulling and vocal experience. I'm not saying it was ghosts, but I have yet to find a reasonable explanation for what happened.

It doesn't help that there's a cemetery 20 yards away from where I live.

kahljorn Oct 3rd, 2011 05:43 PM

when you're falling asleep you often hallucinate and can feel as though people are touching you and calling your name.

Pentegarn Oct 3rd, 2011 06:16 PM

That's a wet dream Kahl

ItalianStereotype Oct 3rd, 2011 06:18 PM

This wasn't a light touch. It was hard enough to yank my head down in a fashion opposite of what would be natural in the position I was in. I wasn't falling asleep, I wasn't in bed, I was downloading movies and reading comics.

Supafly345 Oct 3rd, 2011 07:28 PM

Here is my actual serious reason why ghosts cannot exist, that I am only giving because I don't know why hey maybe we can bump gums about it
:
If a ghost can be seen, then it means that either they are generating or reflecting light, which means they are a disembodied cloud of energy, which isn't unthinkable, or its a supernaturally manipulated ball of dust or something, in a room with very specific lighting. The energy thing isn't plausible not because we don't know if its even possible for such a thing to exist, but because it couldn't exist in a house wired for electricity. The dust thing honestly I just made up and I don't know if its a good argument because I haven't thought about it much.

For ghosts that you hear, and don't see: the sounds that you hear that were made by supernatural means would not be something that could be caused by conventional means. It takes a legitimate physical presence to create noises like footsteps, ringing bells, or rocking noises. Now this puts the witness in a compromising position because it can be very hard to describe something you've never heard of before- but, there would be many different occurrences of a similar sounding thing happening wherever, so that's not an excuse. But most likely if you did hear something you can't explain and you think its a ghost than it simply is just a personal little experience that should not be expected to be seriously considered by others.
If I had to I imagine what kind of sound something that fits the motif of a ghost would be, then it would be like a faint crackle or something, because a loud something would take more energy than would be put into the effort of recreating a grandpa moan.


Now what if they are just run of the mill, supernatural, non-corporeal leprichauns or jesus creatures? They aren't effected by gravity. Wherever they manifest themselves in the universe would quickly vanish from their site as the rotation of the earth, the clockwork of the solar system, the spinning of the galaxy, and the goddamn expansion of the universe would have moved it millions of miles away from that spot as soon as they arrive.

Unless you think the supernatural is pantheistic or something, then I guess all ghosts exist everywhere at once.

Zhukov Oct 4th, 2011 08:19 AM

Where are all the caveman ghosts? People have been dying for millions of years. I would think that my small living room alone would be filled with ghosts all jostling to move my coffee table and creak the floorboards.

:halloween

k0k0 Oct 4th, 2011 08:53 AM

Unfinished business man. Cavemen just wanted food and a place to stay. They fucked what they fucked and when they died, their shit was done. It's natural law. It wasn't til we got civilized that we started regretting shit that we did.

History lesson:

The indians were the first fuckers to really get it. They were more civilized than most dudes in town at the time. That's why there's haunted indian burial grounds. Savages? The motherfuckers figured out how to use every piece of a filthy animal. Even the butthole. So when they teach us jerks how to make butthole turkey, we become civilized and the cycle moves forward. Now we want to stay around and chat with dudes and pull their hair. So get with the program, ghosts are dicks and they're real.
