I'd totally buy a haunted mansion if it's haunted by a ghost from the 1990s. Hell yeah.

...Oh, I can imagine more headlines. Someone spending a lot of money to buy a house haunted by a communist, and the sociopolitical debate this purchase creates.

I would immediately find an exorcist to banish that bitch.

"Get PWNT Noob" is written in blood on the walls. A classic late 90s haunting.

I already fill that role in my household.

The reason old buildings are "haunted" is usually carbon monoxide. That's why modern buildings don't have ghosts.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 4 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

I think it can also have to do with pipes and stuff vibrating at a sub-audible frequency which can cause feelings of dread and fear. Horror movies use this technique pretty frequently.

[–] Wolf@lemmy.today 1 points 3 hours ago

It also depends on people who believe in ghosts. A normal person just hears pipes making noise.

I went to my buddies house one day and he was excited to show me a video he recorded.... of particles of dust being lit up by the cameras light. I almost felt bad to say the truth because he was so excited to have captured 'ghosts'.

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 31 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I just read a post-it about that...

I'll check on it after a nap

The ghost of a nerd died in 1998 adding animated gifs to your website while you sleep.

[–] okwhateverdude@lemmy.world 66 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Said nerd and I are probably the same age. I could live with this.

Your brand new laptop or whatever future devices they'll have in 2050 just stops working because of all the advertising spam in everything

[–] PaupersSerenade@sh.itjust.works 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

writing prompt; a small family keeps finding their futuristic computers infected with old malware. No matter how often they delete LimeWire someone adds it back.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's, like, a g-g-ghost in the machine, Scoob!

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 5 points 20 hours ago

Wasn't this one of those old laptops that had something called .... ummm .. what was it ... doors? .. no, no ... Windows! it was called Windows!

I'm pretty sure my ghost is still partying with the goths, in the loft I lived in in 2010.

If you start seeing phantom CD cases with lines of speed racked up on them, or hearing the faint sound of epic mashups, you'll know you're in the right loft.

[–] lazyViking@lemmy.world 21 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The show ghosts has a ghost that died in the early 2000s and he is just a baller "the pantsless ghost of a wealthy Wall Street stockbroker from the early 2000s" and he just wants to party

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 6 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

T Money!

When is the new season? September?

[–] lazyViking@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Oh man, you just made me look it up, and now I realise there are way more seasons than the two available on my localized netflix 😵‍💫

and it seems like season 5(!) is set for October, so I got some months to binge it all 🤩

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 4 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Woot! Yah, my eyepatch is handy sometimes. This show is worth it.

[–] AngryRobot@lemmy.world 2 points 19 hours ago

It's the only thing on CBS worth watching.

[–] Honytawk 28 points 1 day ago (1 children)

It probably takes a century or so for a ghost to manifest.

In the time span of eternity, 100 years is nothing.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 29 points 23 hours ago (2 children)

It’s a lot of paperwork they have to fill out first. Permits and inspections. The bureaucracy of the afterlife.

[–] maniclucky@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Luckily there's a handbook, though I've heard it reads like a VCR manual.

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

It used to read like stereo instructions, so it's improved

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 4 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Making 12:00 flash on the VCR display was another classic haunt, but no one has a VCR anymore.

[–] gjoel@programming.dev 2 points 17 hours ago

Now they make your smart bulb disconnect from the network.

[–] flamingo_pinyata@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The causes might be environmental.
Haunted houses are a product of the US culture and the oldest houses commonly in use there are from the 1700s.
But it also needs to be fairly isolated - nobody is going to notice a haunting in the middle of a city.

[–] onslaught545@lemmy.zip 5 points 16 hours ago

There are plenty of haunting stories that predate the US by several thousands of years.

[–] thedarkfly 8 points 19 hours ago

"Haunted houses are a product of US culture", right...

[–] match@pawb.social 1 points 16 hours ago

ghost ghost i know you live within me, feel as you fly

"Rawr XD" why not "Rawr X3"?
