A few days ago, I was watching the Travel Channel's newest show, "Most Haunted". It's hosted by this British lady whose accent led me to believe that she is quite possibly the quaintest woman alive. As you probably expected from the title, she and a team of paranormal investigators explore Britain's (supposedly) most haunted places.
Although I love anything and everything pertaining to the supernatural, what I got the biggest kick from the show was how she and her team provoked the ghosts they were trying to prove existed. For instance, in one episode, the lady beckoned for the spirit of a murderer by obstinately shouting, "I DON'T BELIEVE YOU EXIST!!!" and "ARE YOU TOO SCARED TO SHOW YOURSELF?!" Suddenly, a loud bang freaks the hell outta her, and -- in her quaint yet traumatized British accent -- she cries, "For fuck's sake, let's get the fuck out of here...!"
In the second episode, three of her male teammates challenged the ghost of an aggressive man who choked orphans to death by yelling, "YOU'RE A COWARD!!!" and "CAN YOU EVEN SHOW YOURSELF TO THREE GROWN MEN, YOU BASTARD!?!" Of course, like the previous episode, something freaky happened, like this loud crash and a TV turning on by itself. Least to say, the men were reduced to tears.
Whether or not you believe in the existence of ghosts, isn't it a little unwise to provoke the dead? It's like shouting, in public, "ASIANS ARE RICE-EATING, HUT-LIVING SAVAGES!!!" I mean, seriously, even if no Asian is around, you're bound to get a negative response.
Maybe it's just me, but I like seeing the British piss off people, especially if they're dead.
For more freaky stuff, check out this haunted doll or Dave Banko fellating a George Washington Oompa Loompa on my Flickr Photos.
