Just realised that ghosts wearing clothes is a problem

Post Reply New Topic

I saw parts of a ghost hunting documentary from 1975 and the guy presenting the program was speaking to a priest whose church was haunted by a ghost monk or priest. The presenter mentioned that there is a problem because ghosts have clothes on and the priest said ''Well, why shouldn't they have clothes on ?'' and the presenter said ''Well, because you wouldn't expect people in Heaven to have clothes on.'', the priest then said ''Well, they have got to identify themselves in someway or another.'' and then the presenter said ''So in some strange mystical way, their clothes are spiritually creating themselves as well as the people.'' That did make me almost laugh because I then realised that presumably inanimate objects should be ghosts such as the clothing which I didn't realise before even I had long heard of stories of ghost ships, ghost planes, etc. It's made me think well why didn't I think or realise that before because I had read and heard so many stories of ghosts and most of them wore clothes they lived and died in. The ghost of Anne Boleyn haunts the Tower of London in clothes, and the headless horseman haunts Sleepy Hollow in clothes and not once did I think that there clothes had to be ghosts themselves like the people wearing them.

I'd rather see them clothed than not.

Last Halloween, there were chickenwire ghost sculptures of historical figures in a park in my town. The ghost of the highwayman Dick Turpin came complete with his horse. Which got me wondering. Do ghostly horsemen ride on the ghosts of dead horses that they rode when they were alive? What if the horse isn't dead yet? Do they have to wait? Or are they just issued with whichever horse ghost happens to be free at the time? Perhaps the horse ghost is just part of the human ghost, in which case they essentially spend their afterlife as a centaur.

The ghost I saw was dressed.

All matter contains energy so it can time travel imo.

Do ghosts get to choose what they wear?
Are there ghost closets?

They seem to like anything slimming.

I'm sure some of them are still in the closet.

Casper doesn't wear any clothes.

Meeting a ghost would be awesome because that would mean there is life after death and I don't have to fear dying anymore, especially since being alive is horrible. Too bad they don't exist and the human race is hopeless.

According to an "old wives' tale", a ghost's self-image determines how it projects its "ectoplasm" to form the image that living people perceive.  In other words, if a ghost's self-image is that of a sexy, seductive vampiress, then that is how it will appear -- clothes, hair, fangs, and all -- and it's the viewer's own fear that attracts and gives power to such evil things.

But ghosts do not exist, so no worries.
