Have you seen a ghost?

[black francis]

Morrissey's nude dude ghost got me wondering...any of you people seen a ghost or felt an unseen presence?

Fess up.

I admit I have.

[JackT]

Yes. I feel like we are being haunted by something that was laid to rest long ago....

I think I'm too cynical. But I am bothered by Morrissey lately. LOL.

You mean besides the Ghost of Bunnymen Past?

I might've seen a ghost late one night, leaning over my bed ... or else I was just dreaming.

I meant has anyone seen a ghost since the last time I asked?

Well, them too.
A guy told me about his motorcycle and I thought of Pete and Jake. :(

But it's Morrissey that bothers me so much lately that I started to write a verse about how much I couldn't stand him because I was the girl in some of the songs he wrote and he ruined my relationships with his big mouth. It's silly stuff. Only the Moz would take issue.

Actually I didn't really mean that as I forgot I posted the exact same thread previously. But no, no other ghosts since the last time. I've been invited to check out two homes. One definitely haunted and the other supposedly haunted so we'll see what happens.

My seven year old son's favorite show is "Most Haunted" and is hoping to see a real ghost one day. His mom thinks I'm a bad influence.

Well, you ARE, but that's another story.

Still never seen a ghost, but for awhile I found Ghost Hunters and GHI very entertaining. I also liked the one from Penn State. What's that show called? Entertaining for sure.

[withahip]

Well, you ARE, but that's another story.

Witnessing BF's fantastic parenting skills caused me to put off having kids, I was so in awe.
No joke.

[black francis]

Well there's that and after a week at my place the kids were calling you best daddy so you practically have two kids now.

My seven year old informed me when he dies he's coming back to haunt people.

I couldn't be more proud.

When I tried my hand at TV and movie writing I was pitching these ghost and unknown creature investigation shows to production companies and network guys and was told there was no market for it. About two years later they're all over the place.

I doubt my ideas were stolen but I like to pretend they were.

Get a lawyer if you have proof that you pitched it first to a company who later used the idea... I'm still shocked by what comes out in entertainment law. Almost as entertaining as watching the telly--wait--more entertaining.

PS Kids say the darndest things.

When I Die, I'm Going To Haunt The Fuck Out Of You People
BY BYRON ROTH
APRIL 18, 2007 | ISSUE 43•16

As long as I can remember, my life has been a constant stream of insults, condescension, and humiliation at the hands of you people. Well, I'm sick of it. I may be too cowardly and weak to do anything about it in this lifetime, but I promise I'll have my revenge just the same. After I die, I'm going to come back as the scariest damn ghost you've ever seen, guaranteed—and I'm going to spend my days haunting the fuck out of you all.

My spirit will be locked in limbo, forced to wander between this world and the next until it gets retribution for its tormented past, and I can't fucking wait. Hope you like having your TV unexpectedly turn on and off while you don't even have the remote in your hands, shitheads! There won't be anything you can do about it, either. No one will believe you. They'll just say it's something to do with the old wiring in your house and you'll agree, but you'll know the truth, because it'll be me.

You better hope that I don't die for another 50, 60 years, so I don't start scaring you shitless every single night while you're still young. Unless you want a whole lot of eerie evenings, you better pray I live to be 100.

But you know what? That ain't gonna happen. My frail frame can't hold out against this kind of mistreatment forever. Someday, sooner or later, I'll succumb to your ceaseless upbraidings and die. And then you'll be in for some serious haunting.

"What's that?" you'll say to yourselves, walking to the bathroom in the pitch-dark night. "That noise—is the house settling? Is it the wind?" Yeah, fat chance, assholes! That noise will be me. You'll be consumed with a vague sense of unease until you get back to sleep. Which won't be for at least 15 or 20 minutes, if my ghost has anything to say about it. Oh, yeah, you can count on that.

I'm a pretty fragile guy, you know—I could go any minute. Maybe I'll suffer a particularly bad asthma attack and I'll die tomorrow. Then you'll have to put up with decades of sudden temperature shifts, noises in the attic, and candles that blow out for no reason before you finally succumb to the ravages of old age. You could be looking at half a century or more of thinking you may have seen something out of the corner of your eye.

Once I'm dead, I wouldn't recommend watching any Stephen King movies after 9 p.m. if I were you. The minute your mind starts filling with haunting images, I'm going to be there to exploit the hell out of them. You think those movies are scary? Just wait until you hear all the weird noises and stuff I'm going to conjure up.

If you're ever all alone in some scary place—like a forest or maybe an abandoned cabin of some kind—those creepy-ass faint moans will be mine. You'll be plenty spooked then. Even if you've gone completely bald, you'll still have hair on your arms, and it's going to be standing straight up by the time I'm through with you. And then I'll be all, "Boo, motherfuckers."

I promise you this: You'll eventually come to regret making fun of me when I was still alive.

And don't even get me started on what's going to happen if family members take pictures of you when they visit. Those pictures are going to have some weird discolorations, you can bet on that, and some of them may even contain forms that look sort of like faces. Whose face? Yours truly: Byron, avenging spirit from beyond the grave.

You probably won't even remember me by then. But that won't save you. I'll remember you to my dying day and beyond, and I'll spend my entire afterlife making what remains of your life a living hell.

Laugh while you can, you good-for-nothing sons of bitches, because your autumn years are going to be unsettling as shit.

The Onion has an answer for everything.
