Case #26: Video

[19centconstable]

[George is stood in his room. If it seems more well lit than usual...it is. Because ghosts can't haunt you in the light; too see-through.]

I think the obvious solution is to hold one to several seances. Whom on board is the most sensitive?

We might also try to catch one of the spirits mid-haunt and try to communicate with it there, but that would require everybody turning out their lights and being quite quiet, luckily, rather late at night. Would anybody else be interested in taking part in such an investigation? ...because I wouldn't like to undertake one alone.

No, a person who has died. Sometimes they feel they have unfinished business still on Earth, so they can't move on and they become ghosts.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

How can it be unfinished? They died. That's the end. You can't just...go back and continue doing what you were doing. That defeats the whole death concept.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Exactly. But they want to. And that urge is so strong, it keeps their spirit among us.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

But how? Is that in your Bible?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Sort of. Spirits appear to all sorts of people in it to give advice.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

George, I sometimes think that you make these things up.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Oh no, that would be sacrilegious.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

And what does that mean?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Rude. To Jesus.

BAH. I got my tags all mixed up!

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

So...these spirits come and give advice to people but they're not actually ghosts. And a seance is supposed to make that happen?

And it's rude to Jesus if you make things up, but not to try and talk to people who are clearly dead and should be up in heaven?

No worries. I haven't gotten tags in days.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes. And yes.

...awesome

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

I don't understand.

I know right?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Which bit?

It hates us all. That's the only explanation

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

All of it. I don't understand how any of this even got started.

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

By something haunting us.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Haunting? That's what this is all called?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Yes, a ghost haunts.

[thebestnose.livejournal.com]

Well, if theses ghosts are obviously intent on frightening people, then why would you want to give them the ability to communicate with you?

[19centconstable.livejournal.com]

Because it makes them less frightening when you know what they're trying to say. And once their message is delivered, they may stop.
