I'm on this site for memes

Because there's many ghosts already, and the 2000s ghosts can't afford rent. This is why most places are NOT haunted. They are officially owned by few older ghosts, but they just rent them out, and the rent is too high to be afforded by most younger ghosts.
And those few that can afford it are too busy for any actual haunting.
Such is ~~life~~ death.

There have been several short windows in time where the soul pipeline was blocked because of [REDACTED], this leads to a buildup of departing souls and the most [REDACTED] of them end up getting dropped from the backlog database and, bam. Ghosts.
Just never ask them what they saw when they tried to [REDACTED] the [REDACTED]!

School Spirits, good show

LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!

it does need an answer though. so why isn't there more modern ghosts? all haunt those stereotypical psych wards or whatever. why not modern places? was lead paint the requirement to um trap souls or peoples IQ...?
- Statistically there are still far more people who are dead from prior to 2007 than there is from after, so I think it’s just a game of probability
- People used to have big families and lots would die at home. Also a lot of people would die at psych wards and many lived there.
  Houses now have fewer people, and people are more likely to die at a hospital. Most houses today are not that old, while a house from the 1700's would have hundreds of years for people to die in it.
  If you want a modern ghost maybe look in an ICU unit or possibly a new cemetery. My friend once silently pointed out a ghost to me outside in the daylight outside an old mental hospital that had been converted to a school. She was a white mist just walking down the hill wearing a gown, no shoes but for some reason her head wasn't visible. I want to say looked like maybe late 1800's early 1900's.
  
  I'm not sure if I should laugh about how much you are playing along or if I should be worried about you
- Microplastics dissolve the soul
  
  Chokes it
- Probably less CO floating around from indoor fires and such. Also just more (justifiably) skepticism today, as we understand much more about... well, pretty much everything (compared to the Victorian era).
- I thought Paranormal Activity had pretty modern ghosts. I also recall that the Conjuring 2 had a ghost from the 1980s (albeit he was likely a child of the 30s)
- Personal opinion is ghost story gain credibility over time because people wrote about it or talked about and built a legendarium around the place so when you look into it there is substance it's not just one guy talking about something that happenned to him.
  If it's just the experience of one person and there are no books or stories about the place it's just less appealing and stimulating for peoples imagination.
- Could be a matter of energy. Perhaps it takes time for a ghost to reform it's spirit.

If I get to haunt a location when I die, I am totally making dick jokes through Ouija boards and other devices.

WHAT'S YOUR WIFI PASSWORD!!!!! (Stolen from some comedian....Aziz Ansari...?

I DIDN'T GET NO SLEEP CAUSE OF Y'AAAAAAALLLL
NOW YOU WON'T GET NO SLEEP CAUSE OF MEEEEEEEEEEE

Honey, I live for this. Boo, bitch, boo.

Oh BOB SAGET!
- I kind of hope Bob Saget is out there haunting someone in Orange County.
  
  Sucking their dicks for coke.

Ghost don't haunt places at 3am if there are cats in the vicinity - scheduling issues, cats have dibs that ghosts are bound to honour (they just move their haunting at midnight usually ... that is if there are no witches around which too have them outdibed, poor spectres have to haunt at the awkward 1:30am timeslot if they want to get any work done).

Do any of these fuckers ever blast out of the wall and have like a huge cumshot?
