Reason Number 5,023 Why Having Kids Seems Like A Nightmare: They Can See Ghosts
Alright so I know that video is super old (May 2019) and the only reason it came across my desk is because of Frankie Borrelli. Frankie sits in my line of sight at Barstool HQ3 and just a couple minutes ago I aw him bawling in laughter. He was laughing REALLY hard so I told him to send me the video he was watching because I love to laugh. Laughing's my favorite so when I see a pal of mine with tears of laughter streaming down his face I need to know why.
And you know what? I watched it and not only did I not find it funny whatsoever, I found it to be horrifying. It sent chills down my spine and all the way to my toes. Because I believe that little kids can see ghosts that us grown ups can't see. I think we saw them as kids but at a certain age you lose the power to see ghosts. That might sound crazy but you hear about it all the time. All these "imaginary friends" kids have are really just ghosts we can't see. They have to be, otherwise why are imaginary friends a thing all kids have? Not to mention kids are always doing what the kid above did and pointing out things that aren't there. We brush them off but in the back of our minds we know they're telling the truth. I think I tell myself I don't believe in ghosts because I so strongly believe ghosts exist that the only way to calm myself down is to tell myself I don't believe in them. You feel me?
The only part I found funny was when the camera cuts back to the adult and she looks like this
Even through the snapchat filter you can feel the panic going through her mind in that moment. That right there is the filtered face of a person who just felt a chill deep in her core. She was so scared there that I'd be willing to bet she started packing up her belongings and was completely moved out 48 hours after the original snap was taken. You just gotta get the fuck OUTTA there because, as sure as you were born, there's ghosts in that room. Always have been always will be.
I say all of that to say this, another reason I don't want to have kids is because I'd rather live without knowing ghosts are flying all around me. Are there likely ghosts around me at all times? Yes, but I prefer to not have them pointed out to me. That's my choice and I'm comfortable with it.
