The other 10% is someone pulling pranks. There are no real hauntings šŸ˜‚

That's exactly what a ghost would say!

I feel like thatā€™s the next Ghostbusters movie right there. Told from the ghostsā€™ point of view. Like Men In Black only instead of aliens hiding in plain sight itā€™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.

ā€œCultural Frameworkā€ lmao

Remind me when science discovers ghosts. Until then, no thanks

You don't believe in psychotherapy, so what healing modality would you suggest for help?

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.

Where the fuck did you pull I ā€œclearly donā€™t believe in therapyā€ out of? I have a therapist myself you fucking idiot

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.

Youā€™d be surprised how many people truly think they had an experience with a ghost. Like they never even considered any other explanation. Iā€™d more more likely to believe some alien came down from space to fuck with me specifically before Iā€™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! Iā€™ve said it before on Reddit too, sleep paralysis is also the explanation for alien abduction stories. I have had sleep paralysis myself, and itā€™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 itā€™s never really aliens.
