You’d be surprised how many people truly think they had an experience with a ghost. Like they never even considered any other explanation. I’d more more likely to believe some alien came down from space to fuck with me specifically before I’d believe it was a ghost.

That last realization would've made me shit my pants.

It would take the spider from a nuisance and "huh, dude's hanging on, crazy" to what you just described--the ramblings of a man having a cerebral occlusion as he realizes the spider is inside.

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.

🤣 recovered memory from working restaurants and my key card was on my belt. Got stuck in a chair, so after taking a table's order and walking away, it suddenly released and slapped my ass with a zing. I gasped and flipped around, positive it was a flirty dude at the table. His buddies saw it all and lost their shit as the poor guy stared at me, clueless. Took a moment for them to explain to me but in the end we were all crying from the laughs. Was a really convincing smack.

I feel like that’s the next Ghostbusters movie right there. Told from the ghosts’ point of view. Like Men In Black only instead of aliens hiding in plain sight it’s ghosts. They have a bureau that prevents humans from capturing them. Like spies.
