#seems legitI find it interesting that when a near-murder by 12 year old girls happens that involves Slenderman, CNN has an article explaining who/what Slenderman is and what Creepypasta is, but when a man goes on a shooting rampage and kills people and MRAs are involved, the issue is given maybe a paragraph and the only site that goes in depth about explaining MRAs as hate groups is the comedy site Cracked.com.
my favorite part of hamlet is at the beginning when they see the ghost of hamlet sr for the first time

Give a ghost a little gift if you are so willing, give a ghost a kiss or a hug if eldritch affection you are desiring.
Give a ghost a story of your day, make it terrifically short if you cannot say how long you can stay.
Into your schedule, spare a bit of time away to tuck and give a ghost a gift in hopes for ghostly luck.
“How lucky can a ghost be?” the nay-sayers will sneer, “when they are where I cannot see? Why then do you hold them so closely and dear?”
Answers sought are not always found and that is the way life is bound — in science and other ways of seeing, there is much more to reality than is perceptible to a mortal’s being.
Give a ghost a little gift from your day, and if they do not exist, enjoy the sentiment anyway.

at first bucky’s ghost mostly sticks by steve, frozen under the ocean. but every time he leaves the crash site, he forgets a little bit more of who he was when he was alive, until he doesn’t remember why he’d go back and he becomes an angry spirit.
this is literally the plot for 3:02 am, the J-horror inspired AU that no one asked for and I wrote anyways
I was feeling paranoid about that dark entrance to the other room so I made this to make myself feel less paranoid
Thank you Joj for taking the screenshots

THIS IS SO INSPIRING
This creepy footage of a supposed encounter with the Blackburn ghost in Blackburn, England, went viral over the weekend, racking up nearly half a million views by Sunday evening.
The video, posted without explanation on Thursday, is taken from a car and shows a hunched figure in white in the distance. As the car tries to back away, the figure keeps approaching.
Someone in the car can be heard screaming in a foreign language. The Daily Record reports that the person is shouting “Move the car backwards!” and “Faster! faster!” in Arabic. (Source)
WHAT IS IT?
The Hungry Ghost Festival is celebrated on the 15th day of the seventh lunar month. This day falls in July or August in our Western calendar.
It is believed that the gates of hell are open throughout the Hungry Ghost Month but they are most open on this night. It is believed many hungry and wayward ghosts come to visit the living.
Many believers refrain from going out after the dark for fear they may encounter a ghost. They are also extra cautious near the water as the ghosts of people who die by drowning are considered especially troublesome especially when they wander the living world.
HOW IS IT CELEBRATED?
The Hungry Ghost Festival often begins with a parade with decorated lanterns in various shapes, including boats and houses, are placed atop decorated floats. The paper lanterns are then carried to the water, lit, and released.
The glowing lanterns and boats are meant to give directions to lost souls and help ghosts and deities find their way to the food offerings. The paper lanterns eventually catch on fire and sink.
There are also special ceremonies to avoid the wrath of the ghosts such as putting the family’s ancestral tablets on a table, burning incense, and preparing food three times that day.
Plates of food are put out for the ghosts on the table. People also feast on this night, and they might leave a place open at the table for a lost ancestor.
WHAT ARE THE ORIGINS?
The origin of the Hungry Ghost Festival and the Ghost Month (鬼月) in China is uncertain. Cultures in Asia from India to Cambodia to Japan share similar beliefs about the month, and these traditions seem to date from before Buddha.
One story of the Hungry Ghost Festival’s origin is that of one of the Buddha’s disciples, Mulian. He tried to save his mother from hell where she had to compete with other hungry ghosts for food. When he tried to send his mother food, it would burst into flames, so the Buddha taught him to make food offerings to the ghosts to keep them from stealing his mother’s food.
Another version says Mulian traveled to hell on lunar July 15 to offer food and ask that his mother be released. His filial piety paid off and she was released, leading to the tradition of burning incense and offering food during the Hungry Ghost Festival.
thedreamingwood said: have you ever seen/felt a ghost or anything like that? Or do you give credence to the idea at all? Spooooky stuff plz :)
Oh man. Okay, so: I have personally never seen a ghost, or, at least, anything that I would consider a ghost or ghostly. My aunt, grandma, and my great-grandma, on the other hand, are regular ghost-seers and experiencers of the otherworldly, and sly kitchen witches. All of them are the eldest daughters, and I, as an eldest daughter, should have a little bit of that ability in me too. We were all raised with very nonchalant belief in the spiritual and ghostly, it was very matter-of-fact. The sky is blue, the grass is green. and sometimes there are ghosts.
I don’t see ghosts, but I do dream of things that happen later (future ghosts?), and I do on occasion feel entities in places. Strangely (maybe not so strange?) it’s guided me on my fieldwork to find and recover remains, and when working with unidentified victims. I do wonder if it’s what pushes me to do what I do, if it’s part of the reason that I’m good at it. Which sounds insane. But I can’t explain it any better than that.
