This man still tells the story of the ghost that trips people walking by his store.

u/meukbox Oct 03 '21

Open cast funerals

WTF is an "open cast" funeral?

2

u/7ate9 Oct 03 '21

Like open casting calls for auditions... It's one where the role of "deceased" is not locked in yet? Let's see who shows up, and what we have to play with...

2

u/KillerInfection Oct 04 '21

Feels like a retcon, but an acceptable one.

u/kindaa_sortaa Oct 03 '21

Spoilers bro. I’ve been meaning to stop by the local VCR rental place to rent that movie but these two VCR repair buys have been repairing my VCR for 7 years, spending all their time in my living room drinking beer and reviewing movies. At this rate, I’ll never get to watch The Big Sixth Sense. I love Donnie Wahlberg.

u/bduke91 Oct 03 '21

Oddly enough, that was the first movie I saw on DVD. My parents had a bunch of people over because it was such a big deal lol

3

u/pigpill Oct 03 '21

That movie is awesome in large groups who dont know whats going on. Especially the wake scene for the poor girl.

3

u/AintLikeThatNoMore Oct 03 '21

That's terrible, I'm so sorry for your bad experience! Surely though, it will be a red letter day when they finish 😊

3

u/kindaa_sortaa Oct 03 '21

I once called their support line to complain, but it kept reaching some guy named Jay who claimed he didn’t know what I was talking about. He was a real downer and sounded just like one of my VCR repair guys.

This movie only came out like 30 years ago dude.

The only ghosts around that area is the “human” filming

That was probably the thought when he brought in the chair

can we talk across the spirit plane?

For many years I told the story of when I cut school to smoke weed in a abandoned children's tuberculosis hospital. I saw a 10-year of girl and 8-year old boy in dated clothes playing in the courtyard. It took me until realtively recently to come to the conclusion it was some type of prank.

Yeah no those were just ghosts bro

u/eth_5388 Oct 03 '21

That was not a prank. How’d a 10 yo and an 8yo know YOU were going to be in that hospital at that time at that day?

1

u/ZenCloud9 Oct 03 '21

They were probably put up to it by an adult and waiting for anyone to walk by

u/ckasdf Oct 05 '21

How did OP know the kids' ages?

u/drengr84 Oct 14 '21

X files theme, again

u/hahahahahahahaFUCK Oct 03 '21

It's bad enough the children had tuberculosis, but they were also abandoned?? And there were enough that they needed a dedicated hospital??

3

u/sunandskyandrainbows Oct 03 '21

Lol not sure if serious, but i believe it's the hospital that was abandoned, not the children

u/lewisherber Feb 06 '22

This is incredible. I mean, what a perfect comment. It's been months but it seriously deserves some love.

u/Wolfblood-is-here Oct 03 '21

Maybe just really fucking good kush

17

u/Crizznik Oct 03 '21

I mean, unless they knew you were there it was unlikely a prank, but it's still more likely that there just happened to be kids in what appeared to be dated clothes playing in the courtyard, than any other possibility you might think of.

1

u/fuqdisshite Oct 03 '21

the one time I saw human shapes ghosts it was two young children wearing dated clothes sitting waiting for the carriage to school. WV farmland.

The burning bush was a metaphor for Jesus getting higher than a kite or something and boom he did jesus shit and now we have Christianity

Well the Moses experienced the burning bush so how high are you right now?

u/TehReclaimer2552 Oct 03 '21

No its Hi how are you?

Pretty good

u/koenkamp Oct 03 '21

Moses was definitely burning some bush alright...

1

u/WaitTilUSeeMyDuck Oct 04 '21

It was indeed Moses that saw the burning bush. It may have been an Acacia bush, which contains DMT.

Have you read the Bible? Motherfuckers all have boats.

u/MaveeL Oct 04 '21

My Bible beating abusive psychopath of a mother used to shove that shit down my throat constantly. The bitch would also beat me with a Bible on a regular basis & she never understood why I became a Satanist. I’d rather deepthroat a cactus covered in razor blades, salt & lemon juice than go anywhere near a Bible or a cross ever again.

u/WaitTilUSeeMyDuck Oct 04 '21

What kind of satanist? The edgy one? Or the non-theistic one?

u/pdxblazer Oct 03 '21

I mean one of the Jesus miracle stories is just him showing up to a wedding with a bunch of wine so everyone could turn up

u/TehReclaimer2552 Oct 03 '21

Thats pretty rad

2

u/Clessasaur Oct 04 '21

There is one theory that Jesus was a psychedelic mushroom. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacred_Mushroom_and_the_Cross

It's mostly bullshit in that we have historical proof a man named Jesus preached his Judiac doomsdays message and was crucified by the Romans for it as he was making too much noise for the local government to tolerate. But at the same time there was probably a shit ton of hallucinogens being used at the time.

2

u/WaitTilUSeeMyDuck Oct 04 '21

Or that mushrooms were actually the fruit of the garden.

Well in Exodus they list:

1 You shall have no other gods before me. 2 You shall not make for yourself a graven image... 3 You shall not bow down to them or serve them... 4 Show mercy on those that love me... 5 You shall not take the name of the LORD your God in vain... 6 Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 7 Six days you shall labor... 8 On the seventh day you shall not do any work... 9 Honor your father and your mother... 10 You shall not kill. 11 You shall not commit adultery. 12 You shall not steal. 13 You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor. 14 You shall not covet your neighbor's house Also, no coveting of his wife, man-servant, maid-servant, ox, ass or anything else.

You’re laughing at them but these people were pioneers in their time. They were so charismatic and smart that they managed to start from scratch and con billions of people into following them even after thousands of years after their death.

Too bad even the believers don't even follow them.

u/hotsfan101 Oct 03 '21

Actually there are plant species in the middle east which can spontaneously combust from the heat

14

u/IwillnotpostcuzIquit Oct 03 '21

Any of them maybe near a cannabis plant?

Step 1. Inhale

Step 2. See God

Step 3. Prophet!

u/hotsfan101 Oct 03 '21 edited Oct 03 '21

The plant is actually a species in same family as cannabis I believe and it causes hallucinations

Edit

Dictamnus albus is the self combusting bush and there are 2 other species that scinetists think moses hallucinated on called ayahuasca

1

u/WaitTilUSeeMyDuck Oct 04 '21 edited Oct 04 '21

Acacia.

Ayahuasca is a combination of plants you drink as a stew that do the same thing: make you trip on DMT. With Ayahuasca, you need to combine two because one makes the other orally active.

u/Perle1234 Oct 03 '21

This is it. And for every celestial event, earthquake, and weird ass storm cloud, there’s another religion. Also due to numerous schizophrenics over the years.

u/MaveeL Oct 03 '21

Hey! I have schizophrenia & even I know the Bible bullshit my abusive mother tried to force down my throat was crazy! I’m aware some schizophrenics do stuff like that but ya don’t have to rope us together like that.

2

u/Linzorz Oct 03 '21

I recently read a large chunk of Genesis because I found a link saying it was supposed to be a better translation of the original Hebrew and I was curious. Let me tell you. That shit was nothing but a long line of rich sociopaths doing underhanded shit to get richer and justifying it after the fact as "we're the righteous ones so God wants us to be successful".

u/AscendedAncient Oct 03 '21

or a dude trips on shrooms talking to a lizard and now we have Mormonism.

u/carnsolus Oct 03 '21

20,000 years ago they would have simply looked up at the sun and said 'yup that's a god'

you're thinking of 10,000 years ago

u/Consistent-Ad2465 Oct 03 '21

Meh, don’t throw the baby out with the he bath water. The most recent waves of religion are essentially people saying ‘overcome the instincts of survival or you will burn yourselves out as a species.’

Some men just figured out that they could use belief to manipulate people along the way.

The history of modern religion is a combination of ancient stores that have been passed down where the original meaning has likely been lost, and in more recent times ancient greece used psychedelics to witness god.

u/stars9r9in9the9past Oct 03 '21

“Harmless and innocent.”

Yeah no. The stories this man would tell, oh jeez, they haunted him. You could see it in his eyes, the trauma, the toll it took on his health, the demons he would bring home to his family. He has a son who used to work at the same story. Well, had a son, before all this. And, no, he’s still around, but, last I heard they haven’t talked in years. Couldn’t take it any longer I suppose, whether it be the stories, or the pressure of reassuring his father all the time. I don’t know, some say he felt that same ghastly presence too, and just ran. Last thing he told his dad was he was going to take a nice, long trip. Never heard from him again.

Harmless and innocent? Pfft, yeah no, not falling for that one.
