part 367 bears and wolves oh my

YOU DID IT, I'M SO PROUD OF YOU. Well, it's been a year. I hope it was a good one for you--and that 2018 is even better! And maybe we'll finally get that fansub of even one of the musicals... just maybe.

Enjoy part 367!

Re: today's theme: ghost stories

I don't believe in ghosts at all.

However, I do believe that people can perceive something that isn't really there. Look up Tandy and infrasound, for example.

I often have to hedge around the concept of ghosts/paranormal when talking with one of my best friends, who strongly believes in them and has had a personal experience which means a lot to her. I think my friend's experience is true in that that is what she truly remembers. But I think it speaks more to her state of mind at the time (I'm avoiding describing the circumstances because it's pretty specific and traumatic, and I don't think this particular story should be shared without permission) than to the existence of ghosts.

I have interest in ghost stories and folklore. And I think we need them - even though I don't believe, I do like having a little cushion of possibility shielding me at times from the stark fact of death.

That said, I fucking detest those obnoxious ~ghosthunting~ shows. And "psychic" assholes like Sylvia Browne, who exploit desperate people for profit.
