Distinct Lunatic Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Also some ghostly stories from the various grade schools in our school district. There's one on the outskirts of town that's quite literally built right next to a small graveyard (easily over a hundred years old, only a dozen or so graves), a friend of mine that worked at that school as a custodian had a lot of freaky encounters there, late one evening him and the other guy legit heard what sounded like people running around in the gym room and kids laughing, them going in there to find not a damn thing. He was telling someone that they needed to trim the trees from that graveyard cause they were hanging over and touching the school building, bridging them. There's also a similar experience at the pre-K / kindergarten school in town where late one evening it sounded like there were people up on the second floor talking and messing around, but there wasn't a single person. There was the one temp guy I worked with in the past, him working as some kind of janitor at the hospital in town here, and he had a bunch of stories of freaky, unexplainable shit going on.

I've had a couple other ghostly encounters when I was a kid. When I was 9 my neighbor was also my best friend, and I'd stay the night at his place from time to time. His parents even said their house was haunted, there were some nights I could hear things being moved around down on the first floor, and the way that house was set up, all the bedrooms were upstairs, and my friends room was the room where the stairs were, so if anyone had gone down them it'd literally be impossible to not notice them. There was also a time when I was 4 (I have some memories from back then, even as far back as 3 years old) us and a lot of other folks were hanging out at some friends house that lived across the street from us (by now those houses are likely 70 years old at minimum), their basement had some kind of entertainment room setup. I remember going down there and I saw a door to the side, I was curious so I opened it and it was a laundry room, but at the far side of the room I just saw a pale white, faded man standing there staring at me. I was only 3 or 4 and even then I thought of him as a ghost, me quickly closing the door and walking away. Didn't tell anyone there about it though. The not telling anybody is what I don't get. I mean, I can understand it at 4 years old, but like in movies, people see shit and don't say anything. Happens in the real world too. It was like a month after my wife saw something at a place we were living one time, and I was like, wtf didn't you tell me? Personally, I've never seen a ghost or heard a ghost. Heard some shit I couldn't explain, but I can't say it was a spirit. I was in the house one day, and it was late morning. Everyone was outside and I was in the bathroom. I heard running and it stopped at the bathroom door. I said out loud, "I'll be done in a second, son." Thinking my son had come in. I opened the door and no one was there and no one had come inside. Because I went outside asking. I spent the rest of the day outside. Haha. My great grandfather, who I never met, died in this same bathroom. Had a heart attack on the toilet. But apart from that incident, I haven't had anything weird happen here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schools, theaters, malls, they creep me out. I'm more at ease in cemeteries than I am in the aforementioned places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to many religions. No one would give you shit. When it comes to an afterlife, if given the choice I don't know if I'd want to take it or not. Not limited by a body means you'll never have to eat or sleep, or do many things that one might enjoy as a human. I'm sure there's no internet or movies or games, unless there is and God is just a big dick that keeps the wifi password to himself. I'm inclined to believe that even an afterlife isn't eternal, and that eventually one will move on to a new life. Our planet is one of trillions upon trillions, our galaxy being one of millions if not trillions, and lately in the astronomical community it's to be believed that our universe is just one of many. It would seem like there will always be life somewhere, even if divided by millions or even billions of years. For all we know it could be just like going to sleep and then waking up 8 hours later, in your perspective you don't notice the passage of time, you just remember waking up. It very well could be a case where no one will ever truly know what an afterlife is, even after death, since by the time you're able to think again you won't be you anymore.

If you have a wry sense of humor, watch "Night Gallery - Hell's Bells" episode. It stars Sean Astin's Dad, John. I think it explains things from the other perspective rather well.

All primitive gods are attempts at understanding reality by people who lacked knowledge of existence so they threw a face on the clouds and said it was angry when it stormed. All primitive gods are attempts at describing the same essential thing: that which controls the fate of reality. That God is Time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, my worries don't actually exist....I was snarkily implying that I believed in a hell since you seem to be assured there is an afterlife. That's all....Now I was thinking about generating another circle of conversational fate here, but I know you can't describe this afterlife you are sure of and I'm not going to read those passages. I tried to read the bible cover to cover before and let's just say "faith" gets pretty old after the 70th time when I'm asked to blindly accept what was stolen and rewritten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it hard to really define my beliefs. I think the Buddhist beliefs seem more likely, but as for whether or not there's a god, I'm pretty sure there is, but I have more of a pantheism or deism view on them. Things like the bible are pretty much fictional or exaggerations for the sake of story telling, and there is no tradition or requirements that need to be followed to "earn gods forgiveness/blessing" or whatever it is they say. I think deism is essentially the belief in a god that isn't based on any religion, while pantheism is the belief that all things compose an all-encompassing immanent god. It doesn't recognize a distinct personal god. So a mix of these 2 things and Buddhism make up the way I view things.
