Christmas is a Pagan Holliday

Any of you /x/aviers ever had a Canterbury ghost -esque situation happen to you, where a ghost or some shit that tried to spook you only ended up getting humilliated?

I do: There was a room in my grandma's house where spooky shit happened (dolls would change place on their own, people would get their feet and arms pinched at night, etc.), but my grandma, who had way more balls than she was entitled to, would make undesirable visitors sleep in it, and then act super scared when they came up to her the next day and told her something had happened, only for her to laugh for hours on end later.

This ghost was too much of a bitch to do anything to her or my ever-stoic grandpa, and it was so much fun see them talk shit about the ghost.

Nothing like that every happened to me, but I would be interested in reading stories on this subject from other Anons.

A continuation of sorts (Note: My grandma lived in a very small town, in a sizable building that used to be a rural hospital of sorts. A lot of actually spooky shit happened along other un-spooky stories. I'll see if my mom has any pictures of the place):

My grandma's neighbor was a strange man that had a nickname that loosely translated from spanish to Cocksucker. This man's house was an empty lot with what little remained of the facade of a house in front , a couch and a piece of wood to protect him from the sun. Both my grandma and his other neighbour frequently burnt trash in front of his house, because there was this space between the actual entrance to his house and where the lot began. He frequently exposed himself to my aunts and threw rocks at my uncles (7 aunts, 7 uncles. My mom is no.7) . One day, in the middle of the night, my uncles heard someone making their chickens uneasy, so they go outside and see good ole Cocksucker dousing a chicken in gas, to promptly light it on fire. He screamed gibberish, put the chicken on the floor (it quickly slammed itself against a wall and dropped dead), and quickly ran away. Later , my uncles went looking for him (they were sort of pissed he killed one of their animals for no raeson), but found no one. They came in (Cocksucker's house had no doors) , and saw all the walls had the sentence "THE 24TH WILL BE UGLY" (or something like that) sprayed in in big, black letters. Now , this sentence comes from a old-ass story from when the town was even more rural, in which a newborn baby, just as he came out of the womb, said "The 24th will be ugly" and inmediately died. Ever since that happened, nobody's seen Cocksucker again, and nobody's ever come into his house again. Who knows, maybe September will see the return of Cocksucker to his home.

Rural legends are dumb

Eh, it's a legend. It's odd how much of their mythos revolved around babies, though. My grandma once told me a girl from a nearby farm fucked a bobcat, and 9 months later, she had a kid with cat's eyes and claws. It even appeared on their local newspaper once.

No offense meant m8, it's actually pretty interesting now that I've had some time to think about it. How culturally relevant horror is? The two main themes at play- concern for community (the ominous warning) and concern for family (the fact that it comes via the death of a child)- those would be incredibly relevant to most people in a tight-knit rural community. I on the other hand have no strong community ties and am honestly baffled as to why people want children in the first place so both themes are lost on me. I don't have the cultural background to really understand it, but for the target audience it was probably quite effective.

None taken. The way these folks experience fear is very interesting; Being tacopersons , and not only that, but very traditional tacopeople, they have a very "close" relationship with death. People like these come to terms with death


 No.17985

>>17984

Shit, I posted that before I meant to.

They come to terms with the idea of death pretty much since they're kids .Therefore, the things they fear don't really come from a fear of dying; They're taught , to put it bluntly, that their lives don't matter that fucking much. The things people like this fear are kind of surreal, because it has more to do with inner darkness and stuff like that. There's a lot of things at play here, but I think the most important is that most traditional tacopersons are a peculiar kind of catholics.

Yeah, that is a pretty neat take on things
