Literally how 90% of “haunted” places stories begin: ”You don’t understand! I was alone, wrapping up the job when someone grabbed my shirt, I turned around and no one was there!”

The other 10% is someone pulling pranks. There are no real hauntings 😂

I feel like that’s the next Ghostbusters movie right there. Told from the ghosts’ point of view. Like Men In Black only instead of aliens hiding in plain sight it’s ghosts. They have a bureau that prevents humans from capturing them. Like spies.

If you went to a person living on the equator a couple centuries ago and told them that there was a land perpetually covered in snow and ice, they never would have believed it because it didn't exist in their experience. Just because your cultural framework is too rigid to allow for hauntings doesn't mean they don't exist.

Something as simple as Jungian psychotherapy allows you to interface with the ghosts of your ancestral trauma in a way Western reductionist materialists wouldn't believe, just because they never took the time to explore it, they prefer to let their mind be an unknowable black box.

Gaothaire t1_iwdfy04 wrote

Therapeutically, naming parts of your interior dialogue as a way to disidentify them from your Self is explicit praxis.

You told me to seek help, but clearly you don't believe in something so woo as therapy, so I'm asking what in your personal opinion would be a good path forward. Obviously, you live a largely unexamined life, so I don't expect you to have any useful input, but thought you might say something interesting. My mistake.

Gaothaire t1_iwfluba wrote

Yeah, I don't think it's working, you seem really stressed. Maybe you should look into another healing modality, there's great work being done in somatics, using your body to release traumas and live a happier life

My initial comment pointed to therapy, and you told me to "seek help" (your words). If I'm seeking help for insights from psychotherapy, you obviously don't think those insights are valid. Or you're just too ignorant to understand what you're saying, which seems likely.

You’d be surprised how many people truly think they had an experience with a ghost. Like they never even considered any other explanation. I’d more more likely to believe some alien came down from space to fuck with me specifically before I’d believe it was a ghost.

I had a coworker whose big proof the resort house she stayed in was haunted was that the towel she'd hung on the chair fell off.

Apparently ghosts were a simpler explanation than gravity

Also, what a lame ghost. It can interact with physical objects in this world, and all it chooses to do is knock a towel off a chair? Step your ghost game up.

So many people I know in real life who have paranormal experiences all occur when they were in bed getting ready to sleep.

I think 90% of ghost stories can be explained by sleep paralysis, shit feel incredibly real

rathat t1_iwebszh wrote

YES! I’ve said it before on Reddit too, sleep paralysis is also the explanation for alien abduction stories. I have had sleep paralysis myself, and it’s exactly like people describe alien abductions. I know I used aliens coming to earth as an example of something more likely to happen than ghosts, but its second to ghosts lol, I love the idea of aliens, but it’s never really aliens.

My dad had a coworker-- 3 or 4 guys all shared the same office but had different departments-- who would walk in every morning an absolute ass to everyone else about being messy, loud, etc. while changing from his driving shoes to his safety boots. It wasn't anything disgusting, just maybe papers on their desks, snowy boots by the door, etc. The guy was just a neat freak and tried to make everyone else in the office the same way. (Yeah, 'cuz that's gonna work. It was damn steel mill.)

So one morning my father stuck a jelly filled doughnut in the toe of the guy's boot before he got into the office. Dude didn't even get a minute to complain, just sat down, grabbed that boot, jammed his foot (ha!) down inside and when jelly shot out of the boot and up his pants leg, he took off the boot and his socks, put his street shoes back on, turned around and went home.

Dude checked his boots before he put them on from then on.

Hahaha, oh yeah, some deserve it and a bit more malicious.

I was mad as all hell for like 10 min, as I mentioned, not a morning person. But once I got on some dry clothes, and a cup of coffee it was all good again and we laughed about it.

We had a boss that was a royal dick, once when he for the millionth time did something to piss us all of, we lifted his car on top of a shipping container. We had 90T forklifts, and only us on the floor had the license. No idea how he got it down, cuz we went home. But it was gone the next day and we never heard anything.

Creepiest thing ever was I was once hiking solo uphill in the fall and I could hear footsteps behind me in the leaves. I turn back and nothing.

I keep walking for a bit and I hear it, it's following me, but nothing every time I turned around. I start speeding up, it's uphill so I can't really run but my heart was racing and I was terrified.

After a few more steps I realized as I stepped on fallen tree branches under the leaves, the other end of the branch behind me would "lift" so I'd hear the leaves behind me go up. It was me, it was my own footsteps.

Omegamanthethird t1_iwanj4o wrote

There was a brown orb weaver (fairly large spider) crawling on me while I was driving. I panicked for a few seconds and then had to remind myself that it may be bigger than a half dollar, but it's not actually dangerous. Crashing however, is dangerous.

I couldn't find where it went when I pulled over to get it out of my car.

I thought snake because of the way he tried to grab it or whack it away, like he felt it was a tube thing and still went to push it away. Ehh. Likely was just surprising but it looks like someone wrangling a snake.

You hear an odd noise. You imagine what it is. You notice everything looks different. Everything is too quiet. Your subconscious conjures up thoughts of monsters, ghosts, robbers, killer clowns, evil cleaning ladies...

I've been at a restaurant late at night doing deep cleaning 4am before and there was a food truck delivery, they drop it off and lock up, I didn't hear them because I had my Bluetooth in and he scared the living Christ out of me.

This is an interesting and familiar phenomenon. It’s all calm and good until suddenly you’re spooked and paranoid, and it’s so hard to shake it after that. I wonder what all factors into this. I’m guessing sleepy brain plays a big role here, feeling all groggy and vulnerable and then hyper-reacting to random stuff.

🤣 recovered memory from working restaurants and my key card was on my belt. Got stuck in a chair, so after taking a table's order and walking away, it suddenly released and slapped my ass with a zing. I gasped and flipped around, positive it was a flirty dude at the table. His buddies saw it all and lost their shit as the poor guy stared at me, clueless. Took a moment for them to explain to me but in the end we were all crying from the laughs. Was a really convincing smack.

We took our dogs to a pub beer garden a couple of years ago. They were under the table and I gave them a little whistle to get their attention.

The waitress, who happened to be passing at the time, gave the group of lads at the next table a proper bollocking.

She thought they were whistling her for service until I explained what had happened.

So recently, I was studying and I put ear plugs in when doing so. My spouse wasn’t at home and it was just me and our two cats. I went to go do laundry and while I was kneeling on the ground putting things in the washer, one of our cats jumped onto my back (if I wasn’t wearing ear plugs totally in my own world I would have heard her approach), but for a brief second it felt like someone put their hand on my back and I fucking screamed and sprang around ready to die probably, and scared the shit out of our cat in return who leaped straight into the air, and then landed on my fucking face and I got a big scratch over my lip. Yea, I know how this dude feels
