“Hello I’m Laura and I collected this story myself when I was 12 years old. It says that some girls and boys were at the party and there was a graveyard down the road and they were talking how scary it was. And one of the boys said: “Don’t ever stand on the grave up that yard because the person inside will grab you, will pull you under and so on”. And then one of the girls said it was all just superstition and she will actually do it right now. So the boy handed her knife and said that she needs to stick it into the ground because that’s how they are going to know that she really went there. So she went there and picked out a grave and stood on it. Then quickly she bends over and puts the knife in the soil and started to leave but she couldn’t get away, couldn’t move, something was holding her back. So when she didn’t come back the others went to look for her and they found only her clothes being pinned to the ground with a knife.” —Transcript of audio file. https://journeys.dartmouth.edu/folklorearchive/t/

    Personally I like vital wheat gluten, also like tofu. I’ve not had TVP I don’t think.

    Yeah. I thought so. And yeah, I understand pareidolia.

    I mean. I’m not sure if I believe in EVP. But when I listen to them I get creeped out.

    And it seems possible that both could be true—pareidolia and ghost EVP. But do I believe? I don’t know. I get creeped out.

    Yes. YoTub is terrible crap. The whole internet is so monetized I can’t find just a simple website with old Japanese Onryō tales. Like in old internet days there would be just small websites with stuff on them. Without all the “here’s my podcast” or “download our APP” or advertising everywhere.

    Absolutely hate being alive. Near constant terror and horror. And anxiety… God is torturing us.

    How I managed to avoid getting covid, even one time, remains a miraculous mystery.

    Another way to see it, maybe. Maybe I’ve just been alive too long. And it’s time to go. In any way that comes. And bird flu is a way.

    What do you mean “bizarre things people transmit”?

    I need to hear that. Any kinds of that.

    Earlier I tried to find Electronic Voice Phenomenon recordings on YpuTub and it was useless. Just people talking about it.

    I don’t want some people talking ABOUT stuff. I want the stuff.
