Do you believe in ghosts?
I must say I'm a skeptic myself. I suspect them of being in the same league as Santa, the tooth fairy and large tax pay backs. I do know there are many weird and wonderful things out there, things that can't be explained yet by science or rational logic, like paranormal phenomenon and 80's hair, but I would think that once someone died they'd be much better off getting on with it, going to heaven or Nirvana or hoping a lift on the karmic wheel or going to Valhalla where 90 nubile, hopefully the right gender,virgins await them!
I can't imagine hanging around in spirit form would be all that fun and dandy?
All you could do was basically watch. Watch everyone else get on with their lives doing stuff you could do but can't anymore. Laugh, love, poop, eat bananas (and then have to poop again as the fruit is good fibre), and do everything while you stand around only being sensed by cats and creepy old ladies who can also predict the weather at least 50% of the time spot on!
I think it would be awful lonely.
I mean, even if you're a poltergeist and can toss a few family heirlooms artfully about a room, that's going to lose it's appeal sooner or later. (But not until after you've whisked up a few skirts and rammed cousin Vinny's face into the tomato soup for the 40th time - that's what you get for pulling my hair 56 years ago!!)
And what if there are ghost-busters and they end up catching you and you spend an eternity in a small jar, often being mistaken for a seminal sample? I've lost a lot of good friends that way!
Still a good ghost story is a lot of fun and on a rainy, cold night, and suddenly a lot more believable! I suppose it's nice t have something left that science hasn't explained away all the mystery and magic to?
Now if you'll excuse me I have to go and remove a poltergeist from my underwear draw again! I swear they always seem to accumulate in there!
