I got wrapped up in watching these kids pretend to be zombies for some sort of game and now I don't think I'm gonna be able to sleep at night.

Doesn't the whole zombie thing freak everyone else out? Doesn't it give you nightmares?

I've seen more decorations with ghosts and stuff around, too. How can people put that up?! Ghosts scare the hell out of me!!!!!!!

Are shinki ghosts? Do we count as ghosts?

We don't right?

I'm having a crisis.

Please help.

[Ghost: An apparition of a dead person that is believed to appear or become manifest to the living, typically as a nebulous image. synonyms: spirit, phantom, spectre.

Welp.]

I think by definition we're ghosts. We're dead and people don't notice us unless we make ourselves seen.

[ittenbari]

Is that true?!

I thought people noticed me just fine!

Do you think they think I'm haunting them?!!

[unlucky7]

I don't think they think you're haunting them. Unless you're doing something that can be misconstrued as haunting?

[ittenbari]

I don't think so.

Unless ghosts ask for directions a lot.

Or ask what stuff is a lot.

I ask a lot of questions is what I'm saying.

[shiitan]

yup we're ghosts

better get to haunting people

[NOT HELPING, ROSS]

[ittenbari]

I DON'T WANT TO HAUNT PEOPLE

NO ONE WANTS THAT

[shiitan]

really? it sounds fun to me

[ittenbari]

IT'S A TERRIBLE THING

IT'S NOT FUN FOR ANYONE

STOP THAT

Would it bother you if you were a spirit?

[ittenbari]

"Spirit" sounds less scary than "ghost."

Ghosts are scary, man. They lurk around in the dark and haunt people and possess people and all sorts of awful stuff.

I'm gonna have nightmares now just thinking about it.

[cieled]

They are the same entity.

You can choose whether you haunt a person or location. That is obviously not a given - and we can hardly reach our homes.

Believe me, there are far worse things to dream about.

[ittenbari]

I don't want to haunt anyone!!!!

I don't want to do any of those things!

I know I'm dead, but it wasn't my idea to stick around!

[ Kanade had opened up this post fully intending to make some dead people jokes, but it seems she's been beaten to that. Light teasing about a fear to try and make it seem silly is one thing. Piling on a guy less so.

So she'll tease in the opposite direction. ]

Have u tried sticking ur hand thru ur middle

If it doesnt fit ur good 2 go

[ittenbari]

I'm pretty solid!

[He just checked to make sure.]

And it sure hurts when I, like, bump my head on stuff and things like that.

[usedperishsong]

[ittenbari]

I'D RATHER NOT!!!!

I don't want to meet a ghost EVER.

NO

I thought we're ghosts, but I've never really questioned it. We're just a bit of a different sort of ghost, since the mortals can see us if we attract their attention.

Why would they freak you out?

[ittenbari]

Why wouldn't they????????

Ghosts are creepy!!!

[yasei]

Why would they? They're just dead people, set them on fire and burn them to ashes and you're rid of them.

I don't get why you think that.

I haven't considered them scary, but then I've also not really thought of them as real. Maybe they are real in some places, but they might not be real here. Plus, in movies and stuff it always seems unrealistic because they should logically be moving much more slowly since they're rotten corpses and all.

[ittenbari]

I'm pretty sure all that stuff is real.

[smilingbullet]

There is a posibility. I haven't seen any real ones here, but you never know.
