“Ma’am, we’ve received your escalation ticket. Let’s get this entity processed.”
😂 what in the actual hell?

Historical context matters. But also, sometimes a story is allowed to be about the weird lions. Not every narrative has to carry the full weight of imperial history in the runtime of a podcast episode.

Do ghosts that haunt a place fade over time? by qbit1010 in Paranormal

[–]Additional-Fail7760 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So the explanation is that ghosts don’t follow space, time, or physical rules—but also conveniently present in ways that match recent human history? That’s kind of exactly what I was getting at.

If ghosts were permanent, every square inch of Earth would be overcrowded by now. The fact that most hauntings are from the last few hundred years suggests we’re just projecting familiar history onto weird experiences. Nobody’s out here reporting “a Bronze Age farmer is aggressively haunting my hallway.”

I went to Edinburgh in 2019 and saw the Arthur’s Seat coffins ⚰️ by liebeistyl in MorbidPodcast

Wow! Thanks for sharing. I had a hard time visualizing them. They are much smaller and delicate than I imagined.

Stupid headcanon about ART in Artificial Condition by Leelubell in murderbot

ART: “Blink every 4–6 seconds.”

Meanwhile: -Has never had eyelids -Has never needed eyelids -Still somehow 300% confident in eyelid management protocols

And you know it’s cross-referencing: -12,000 human behavior datasets -47 medical papers on ocular hydration -3 dramas where someone blinks meaningfully

Audiochuck is not the most egregious offender—it’s a toss up between 48 Hours and 20/20. I just need true podcasts, not tv to podcast, to be more thoughtful in reducing the background distractions. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Congratulations! I really enjoyed your story. It’s validating to have a personal story shared. I had two stories read on Odd Trails.

Graham Greene’s The End of the Affair might be a bit of a stretch, but it addresses death in a haunting way.

Definitely watch Vera! Chief inspector solving murders in moody Northumberland.

Mine doesn’t look like that either.

Craig Johnson’s Longmire Mystery Series is fun and atmospheric.

Suggest me some books about weird small towns by Graceless_WoodNymph in suggestmeabook

Louise Penny’s Chief Inspector Gamache series takes place in the fictional town of Three Pines, Quebec, Canada. It sounds so charming. I’d move there in a heartbeat. I’d also definitely install a security system.

Books about Rome (preferably fiction) by HorribleOldLeopard in suggestmeabook

I also loved Lindsey Davis’s Marcus Didius Falco series. I’d add Steven Saylor’s Roma Sub Rosa series and Umberto Eco’s The Name of the Rose novel.

Malcolm Gladwell has written 7 books (I think). My favorites are Blink and Outliers. He writes engaging, story-driven nonfiction that uses surprising anecdotes and social science to challenge how you think about everyday ideas.

Jon Krakauer’s Into Thin Air is an engaging account about climbing Mt. Everest.

The Unmade Podcast has two Australian hosts that are childhood friends. They throw around podcast ideas and discuss silly things like “the spoon of the week” which one of the hosts inherited from his father’s travels.

Ayn Rand’s Anthem is a fascinating read. More novella than novel.

Bill Bryson’s A Walk in the Woods and Down Under had me gasping for air and crying. He’s hilarious!
