    If anyone is curious what Alexandra said at 1:12:15 here it is:
    "Just then, Alex decided to chime in and ask what a ghost ej*culated when he org*smed. 'Was it semen? Was it dust? Or was it ectoplasm?' At this point I was seized by a blind panic that we might get thrown off the tour. So I grabbed Alex by the shoulders and steered her toward the exit, while she was still cackling and making a joke about 'ectoplasm bukk*kes.' The tour guide thankfully did not throw us off the tour. He manfully took it on the chin. The jokes, I mean. Not ectoplasm."

      Okay yeah, Alex is an absolute legend. I'm guessing you spent most of this tour wiping your eyes from laughter tears. Also, dusty ghost ectojaculate is not something I expected to be contemplating tonight, yet here we are.

      & then going back doing a walk through the next day sober. Than a show with paranormal investigators who actually believe in ghosts & are trying to talk to them.
      Speaking of Ghost Adventures, that would actually make for an amazing cross over. Watching the two groups interact & both trying (& failing). To convince the others that they're right, & the other guys are wrong. As a matter of fact, it would be absolutely Fucking Hilarious to watch!

    Lived in a haunted house. Saw the ghost who only appeared in a particular mirror ( standing in front of my bedroom door). He wasn’t scary, so I wasn’t scared. Saw him off and on from age 10 until age 18 when I moved away. My mom and sister also saw him, under the same circumstances, but I didn’t know this until we were discussing ghosts, at the dinner table when I was about 14. I’m 70 now. I still think about him (maybe 17-18, dark hair, lean, but not overly thin, and male). He would sometimes wake me up (most often by banging my headboard against the wall. Two beds in my room, but the other one never moved. He always stopped when asked. Mom died in 1999, and my sister in 2016. Not much of a haunted house, I know, but there you have it.

It is disturbing.. not going to lie.. tho I feel that the victim's story and death.. what they endured needs to be told. These days it feels like we overlook or ignore other people's disparities.. because it makes us distraught and uncomfortable.. or we are so numb to the pain of others that we dont see them as people.. learning about their life and death is a way to empathize with them.. to know how horrible they left this world. Thats my opinion..

    23:53 I love ghost tours simply because one that is well done makes you feel far more immersed in the place than a regular tour. I think one of the best ones I went on reminded me that the ghosts aren't the echoes of the dead, but the stories we tell which keep their memories tethered to the living. If we continue to tell their stories in a way those memories never die even though the people did long ago. My favorite ghost tour was in New Orleans. I learned so much history, walked all over the city, and they were really helpful for setting an atmosphere. If I ever successfully see a ghost on one I'll let you know. I never have.

    I know the exact Reddit thread you're talking about, it's kinda famous. For some reason RUclips on mobile won't let me post comments with links though.
    There's also the story of the guy who kept seeing notes left around his house that he didn't remember writing, and things moved that he didn't remember moving. He was worried he had a squatter living in his house, ghosts, or he was just going crazy. The top comment told him to immediately check his house for carbon monoxide which showed he had a CO leak, hence the gaps in memory. It was actually him doing all that stuff and just not remembering because he was slowly being poisoned. Reddit likely saved his life.

    I love watching Mountain Monsters, Ancient Aliens, The Mystery at Blind Frog Ranch, Skinwalker Ranch and Ghost Adventures. I don't exactly treasure any of it seriously, I prefer to think it's plausible and just enjoy the show. I was so bored while recovering grin a surgery I was binge watching Ancient Aliens and coming to with my own theories and texting my ideas to my sister to entertain her. It's just fun to forget reality for little while and pretend to take it very seriously and allow myself the occasional "awe". I looked at my husband at one point during a marathon of Mountain Monsters and says "In beginning to think this site might be scripted". We laughed and laughed, but it's so much fun pretending.

      I am barely a skeptic but I always put those kinds of shows on to go to sleep 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. And they’re so scripted OMG.

    Simon is the kind of person who if he was stranded on some island with a tribe of people who believe in Supernatural stuff he would most likely piss them off and end up as some human sacrifice to whatever supernatural entity they believe in

    In America, when you say Thongs, we say You're Welcome. Same with Tanks.
    You're welcome!

    In New Orleans, particularly in and around the French Quarter, buildings and homes on the market will routinely have 'Haunted' or 'Not Haunted' on the for sale signs... ironically the haunted homes typically fetch higher prices than the non haunted ones. The whole joint sort've thrives on that creepy vibe, ya know? Definitely part of that whole Southern Gothic voodoo ethos .
