SPI Webcomic "The Paranormals" by Vorpral
2-Dimensional Vapor Hound "Sit boy! Good dog!"
Welcome to Ghost Laughs! As I have stated in my disclaimer before, this is a professional group, but we like to yuk it up with the rest of them. This is a collection of humorous links, pictures, terms, etc. which is geared more towards ghost hunters, but will hopefully have some mass appeal as well.
"This is indeed the powerful evidence ever for the aetheric body ever presented Brian and Ann Allan (paranormal investigators) website www.p-e-g.co.uk" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwKtz66l-AA&feature=related Vorpral heartily agrees. (and thinks psychic Derek Acorah needs more fiber in his diet)

KIRAISMS I am friends with Kira from Mystic Ghost Investigations and she is a real doll with a great sense of humor and a very high literacy rate. These are some terms that she came up with that I feel should be part of the official hunter's lexicon.
*Almost* Psychic - The term for someone who thinks they are psychic, but you know they are not. Ick Meter - A sophisticated intuitive device which measures how yucky the energy is in a certain area. Icks per Minute - The official unit of measurement for the above device. The Possessed People - *Almost* Psychics who are so oversensitive to their internal insecurities that they become "possessed" on nearly every hunt. Psychic Jeopardy - A very annoying game in which all the psychics on a team try to outdo each other in terms of accuracy, sensitivity and ultimately drama. Possession Charades - A slightly more entertaining pastime where you try to guess whose spirit is being channeled
GUEST DEFINITIONS Out Goth - A handy turn of phrase to describe when someone is trying to be darker than thou. Credited to Caroline C. Techno Pagan - Rather self-explanatory, this is also credited to Caroline C. Pagan Standard Time (PST) - Why certain Wiccan friends always seem to run late. Caroline C. again Pseudo-Psychics - While the term has been in use for some time, Ralph defines them as those who brag about their magical powers in the hope that others will validate their psychological misconceptions. Psychic - An investigator who hasn't learned how to use the equipment. Credit to Chris Moseley of Dagulf's Ghost Gravestompers - Derogatory reference to an amateur group that goes into cemeteries just for the thrill of seeing a ghost without any serious methodology or research. Credit to Chris Moseley of Dagulf's Ghost.
SPI GLOSSARY Chocolamancy - A new branch of magic that I just now invented which makes extensive use of chocolate and other comfort foods. Somewhat related to Beer Gazing which consists of staring into your brew for cosmic answers. Halloweeners - People who try to join a ghost group around Halloween season, but it applies to anyone who joins out of fad or out of a lack of realism.

Here is a site you may not believe in. They are now defunct for reasons that you might guess, but I find the idea both hilarious and alarming. http://web.archive.org/web/20010516224617/http://www.rent-a-ghost.co.uk/ Now even the archive version has been scrubbed. Damn. I knew they were full of shit, but it was still entertaining.

QUOTES Here is an excerpt from one of the best letters I have gotten so far about the website. She makes some really good points.
"I really do think that your web page helps others get it all in perspective. In order to conduct investigations there has to be rules. There are going to be people that get mad and get their feelings hurt because they can't go. I think those people can just go bowling... I think a lot of people do this just to hang out and get scared or be able to tell their friends they've seen a ghost. Those people are not taking into consideration the most important people - the people living with a possible haunting. I've lived in a house where you are scared to sleep with the lights off, and having a bunch of goobs walking around in your house with no objective and a possessed psychic would not have made me feel better."
On why white people are stupid to stay in a haunted place:
Black Male Householder : Aw baby this is beautiful, we got a chandelier hanging up here, kids playing outside, it's a beautiful neighborhood. Ain't got nothing to worry about... I really like this place...
Demonic Voice: Get out!
Black Male Householder : Too bad we can't stay...
-Eddie Murphy from the Comedy Concert "Delirious"
The world is like a ride at an amusement park. And when you choose to go on it, you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round. It has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud and it's fun, for a while. Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: Is this real, or is this just a ride? And other people have remembered, and they come back to us, they say, 'Hey – don't worry, don't be afraid ever, because this is just a ride ...' And we ... kill those people. Ha ha, 'Shut him up. We have a lot invested in this ride. Shut him up. Look at my furrows of worry. Look at my big bank account and my family. This just has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because – it's just a ride. And we can change it anytime we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings and money. A choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead, spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace. Thank you very much, you've been great." [several gunshots ring out, Bill mimes being hit and falls to floor, motionless.] (Onstage closing comments of Hicks's Revelations special from 1993)
