Hauntings, Histories, & Campfire Tales: What Ghost Stories Tell Us | Coya Paz | TEDxDePaulUniversity

[@tiedyedowl8367]

A ghost saved my life when I was lost in the Shenandoah. I had gotten lost while looking at ruins of old houses off the trail. After searching for a while, yelling, and crying, I asked for help from anyone, anyone at all that would please, please help. I then felt someone pulling at my ankles towards a different direction then the one I was facing, and having no idea which way to go, I followed. I kept following the pull, and the pulling immediately stopped at a graveyard by the side of the trail I’d been on. I’ll never forget their help. I very well might have died without it.

[@TheShadowPerson.]

Are you Indian by chance? They may have helped a familiar looking person like you.

[@wmpetroff2307]

I believe your story. I have asked for help from my ancestors and the assistance comes.

[@dayzme7425]

I’ve had 3 paranormal experiences with my sister there for all 3, where we heard an audible voice. The first voice we heard changed my life, I was fully convinced that there is another world that overlaps ours and we aren’t alone.

[@actingeternity]

Omg .....there is space for everyone though ....😁

[@TheFeralcatz]

It was most likely a demon messing with your head.

My brother waited 25 years to tell me he saw a Sasquatch. This was not far from where we saw a grey thing float across the field in front of us. We laughed until we realized it was something we didn't know and ran. Native Americans and ALL ancient's knew the spirit realm is real. We saw what we saw. I don't know.

[@jacquelinetreharne1155]

Yes, can you please share the sasquatch story?😬

I am just working on this topic now. What an excellent and insightful talk - thank you so much!

[@simone222]

Ghost stories are the best! Anyway, I am a bit of a hypersensitive and so are my mother and big sister. My previous office at the government complex sits at a place where murdered victims were thrown in the past. There was a lot of activity in that place. And I am not sure how to best describe what I have. Sometimes, my sense of smell is strong in that I will immediately know if a place is jinxed. It has this rotten or burnt smell to it.

I was staying in old hotel in Sydney about 200 Meters from where the sailing ships came in back in history. A man appeared at the end of my bed with prisoner manacles on his wrists. It was early hours of the morning. Very scary. I have seen family members too. Not long-after they died. It still gives me a fright.

In other news the latest capture of a potential thief using the new carer system. Duelingual Boasthelords, son of Duelogistics Boasthefathersfound, was taken to a maximum security solitary confinement cage cell room permanently and is now property of the global statestate. He will be confined to the 6 foot by 6 foot by 6 foot windowless cage with a bed shelf, no mattress/pillow/blanket luxury, and one small hole in the floor for waste dispensing for the remainder of his existence. All waste collected from the individual during their stay will be stored in giant vats and after his death, whenever it should naturally occur, his entire body will be soaked in all the collected stored waste product for a neweek (6 days) and then dried and powdered and added to the cement mixture that is used to reinforce and maintain the cage and facility. He will never leave the room for any reason at any time whatsoever for life, if the building catches fire he must stay in his cage and not be evacuated, period. He has a completely clean record with no criminal offenses or any contact with elite worshipping order keepers (Ewok’s) whatsoever, and he has never ever not once committed any crime nor ever was convicted of one, however officers at the new founding father’s institute were looking at the mandatory brain scans every individual is required to submit to the world government weekly, they noticed some patterns in his brain activity that were similar to that of one person who is currently in another permanent cage for stealing $6 worth of food from a street vendor because he had no money and was starving. They both are removed from society forever and that’s how that’s that. For our final story today, the government is rewarding any individual who informs us on a potential criminal with a 0.10% reduction in their next mandatory weekly government donation, the total tax for the commongood will not be effected and will remain at 94%. All corporations of the global statestate have the power to arrest and imprison any person they deem necessary for any reason, permanently. The order that no average amateur citizen can own a business shall stand, the authoriters also stated earlier, meaning all individuals must report to a work job from the government 7 days a week 365 days a year. Everyone stand for the global-media-closing-theme, fist up firmly, we remind you that you are being watched and monitored through the tellallvisions system you view this on in the morning, afternoon, and nighttime. Follow regulation or you will be subjected to public beatings. “For thee, the new founding fathers who knew, us we are for their taking! We submit!”

@@soslothful Why? Whether or not supernatural phenomena truly exist, our brains and bodies have clearly have evolved to believe in things that go bump in the night. It's fascinating to study that evolution, and see what it says about how we have evolved and why we came up with those ideas.

Most of the time, these ghosts are just demons. The demons want our attention because they are miserable and self absorbed. They want us to worship them, but if they can't get that, at least get us to pay them some emotion attention as she put it.
