And you probably never will, because anything a ghost could do to haunt traffic would just get blamed on “asshole drivers”

    You hear a lot about haunted morgues, but that’s of course just people projecting their icky feelings toward death: The vast majority of people don’t die in the morgue. Similarly, the vast majority of people are long dead and partly preserved before they’re in a graveyard. Kinda’… proves it’s all BS projection.

      What about all the other haunted locations where only one person died? The number of corpses doesn’t seem to correlate with ghosts very well. Also, if a single dead guy is enough to make a place haunted, nearly every house should be haunted after a few centuries have passed. Guess what, there are cities where people have lived well over a thousand years. Aren’t Luxor, Beijing or Delhi super haunted by now?

        Yea, there’s little correlation anywhere with anything except people hearing spooky stories or assuming spooky things. Or the rare case where there is loud sub-audible noise or EMF that makes people feel uneasy, and make up the rest.
