Ghosts: What use are they?

[JBR]

@PixieKnuckles

I swear there is something in my house. I put something down, and it vanishes. Even when I make a mental note of say, my keys…“my keys are on the hall table next to the door” I think to myself.

Nope. I’ll find them on the draining board next to the sink, or in the bathroom.

Not ghosts: memory loss. I have it too.

I have yet to see or hear of any irrefutable evidence of ghosts.

I’ve just provided some! There is nowt wrong with my memory…I just like making lists and sticking them around the place

And that’s probably a good reason not to take threads about them seriously.

Mine too! It seems to like teaspoons and socks! Just gobbles them up!

Or any supernatural entity. Gods, demons, the FSM…

[Minx]

It’s like magnets.

It’s there, the force but yer canny see it unless the conditions are right…

Or any supernatural entity.

If it turned out that ghosts did exist, wouldn’t that mean that they were natural entities?

Ah yes, Rare Earth magnets for electric motors. A bit like electricity - you can’t see it but you can sure hell feel it !

How would you know!

Yup, I’ve named that poltergeist in our house.

Mr Baxter

And I talk to him

“Very funny Mr Baxter, what have you done with my ruddy keys? Hand ‘em over or I swear I’m calling a flaming exorcist”

[PixieKnuckles]

Does it work? Does he hand them over?

I’m kind of wary of naming it, because it would make it real

And its a woman too, I can almost hear the gleeful cackling

[Harbal]

@Besoeker

How would you know what?

[Harbal]

@PixieKnuckles

That’ll be Mrs, Baxter.

[PixieKnuckles]

Aye, thanks for that. Well she can skidaddle off to her hubby in Maree’s house and leave my ruddy stuff alone

You don’t want to go upsetting the Baxters.

[PixieKnuckles]

Well, I wouldn’t be…I would just request that Mrs Baxter join her husband by way of some wafting of herbs and salt at the doorway, and then Maree can take it from there, moving forward

[Maree]

Ooh, I don’t know, Mrs Baxter might be jealous of my relationship with Mr Baxter

But send her over anyway, I’ve got bell, book and candle ready if they have a domestic

[PixieKnuckles]

Well, since you are always yelling at him…and I imagine Mrs Baxter might do the same, so I have a feeling that Mr Baxter might just nip out of the back door and never be seen again!

Note to Mr Baxter - Do NOT head North.

[Besoeker]

@Harbal

How would you know what?

Whether ghosts did exist.

Talking of serious threads, did your friend ever get clearance from Azz to join us?
