The Bee Gee Board

A friend recently sent this to me and I thought it was perfect for today's Friday Funny! It reminded me of a recent incident with my son. He has his moments of fleeting interest, but for the most part he absolutely does not follow in my footsteps with a love of all things spooky.

After watching the paranormal episode of Brain Games on Disney+, which featured a segment on how the Ouija Board operates using the ideamotor principle (and is NOT controlled by spirits) I thought it would be funny to pull out our own Ouija Board for Family Game Night!  My child was NOT impressed and refused to play. I asked him what he was afraid of, given that we just watched an explanation on how it wasn't paranormal.  His reply was that the Brain Games show was only ONE opinion, and he had seen plenty of other videos that to him, proved Ouija Boards were portals to the spirit world, and he wasn't about to take any chances. I guess I should be happy that my son is overly cautious when it comes to things like that.

I hope you stay overly cautious this weekend as well!  Have a safe and happy Fourth of July weekend. Practice social distancing, don't drink and drive, watch your fingers around fireworks, and as always...

STAY SPOOKY!

For more Ouija Board information, including an explanation of the ideomotor principle, see my article, Ouija Boards ARE Dangerous.

Stay Out of the Living Room! A Friday Funny

My husband loves sending me funny photos, memes, and cute lil' comic strips that he knows will brighten my day...and I love getting them! I especially love when he sends me funnies with a paranormal twist, such as this ghostly selection from Mr. Lovenstein.  Have a safe and spooky weekend, everyone. 

Fun Fact:  In 1910, Ladies Home Journal decided that a home's 'parlor,' (sometimes called the death room in Victorian England) should now be known as the 'living room.' Previously, the parlor was where the family gathered for the funeral, where post-mortem photos were taken, and where wakes were often held before the end of the 19th century. READ MORE HERE

Ghosts vs. Goats: A Friday Night Funny

How many times has this happened to you on an investigation?  None?  Well, its still a cute little comic by Liz Climo and illustrates an important part of paranormal field research---the need for clear, concise communication!  Make sure you speak loud and clear during those EVP sessions so that you don't catch a recording of yourself mumbling and think its a ghost, lol.  Have a great Friday, everyone and if you're out investigating this weekend, make sure you're contacting GHOSTS and not GOATS! 

Ancient Spirits

Ancient spirit, no...but I have a feeling that as society continues to evolve what we used to call 'text speak,' there's gonna be a lot of afterlife communications coming across in just this manner!  If you were on the other side and trying to contact the living, what would YOU say?  Let me know in the comments below, or join me over at Theresa's Haunted History Facebook page! 

Synergize with Demons! A Friday Funny

If all exorcisms could be this easy...I hope this lil' demon got his fries for being so accommodating!  We're not always on the same side, but this little comic reminds us to at least be civil to each other and lend a helping hand. Happy Friday, everyone! 

This comic is the work of Mr. Lovenstein.  Check out the link and support awesome artists.

Ghosts Kill...A Friday Funny!

"The reason ghosts don't kill people in real life is because if they did, those people would become ghosts and it would become really awkward."

Just a lil' something to keep in mind the next time you get freaked out by a ghostly manifestation! 

Boooooks! A Literary Friday Funny

I fully support a library endorsing ghost.  As readers to Theresa's Haunted History know, I LOVE my home library of paranormal non-fiction and West Virginia history.  And, as this little bookish boo has suggested, my son and I have been going to OUR local library at least once a week to partake in their awesome summer programs.  

So go visit YOUR local library this month!  You can find my suggestions on what to check out at the following link:

Unfinished Business

I can certainly empathize with this little ghost---I'm a huge procrastinator.  I'm pretty sure that particular character trait is going to contribute to me becoming a ghost after death.  The amount of 'unfinished business' I'll be leaving behind will be staggering! 

Where Are the Spoons?!

Well, its happened. I've discovered what is going to happen to ME in the afterlife! I'm gonna go ahead and apologize in advance to the families that I frighten/perplex with my unresolved anger issues and frustrated outbursts that will surely survive the death of my physical body.

I'm Here to Haunt You: A Friday Funny Motivational Comic

I thought today's Friday Funny ghost comic was too cute not to share...well, minus the dog killing of course. It sends an important message---don't forget to lift up those around you, even if those around you are already floating three feet above the ground!

Life on the Edge: A Friday Funny

Poor Gary! I hope your weekend will be better than Gary's! Happy Funny Friday, everyone...and if your area is expecting snow tonight and tomorrow, stay safe and warm. 

BOOOOO-bies!

In general, I  prefer clever, subtle, and even dry humor. But, sometimes I want something just totally sophomoric and hilarious. I'm pretty sure I have the brain of a 12 year old boy...and if you do too, then  you'll  probably enjoy today's Fright Night Funny as much as I did!

Friday Night Funny: Haunt Problems

We all get frustrated with our jobs sometimes...even ghosts! And I KNOW we all have felt like, one time or another, that whatever we did, we just were NOT getting through to someone! 

I hope this this little Friday Funny will bring a smile to your face---and possibly spark some interesting discussion. As a paranormal investigator, I've sometimes dealt with clients who experience the world in ways far differently than how I do. What sort of challenges and what sort of data can we benefit from when working with clients who may be sight or hearing impaired, or who may not be neurotypical?

Head on over to Theresa's Haunted History's Facebook and let me know your thoughts!
