I feel like it's gotta be one of the lower ranked places of people dying right?

Anyone displaying any signs of serious illness is gonna get sent straight to a hospital, surely. I don't imagine a restaurant owner is gonna dilly dally for business, health and liability reasons.

Or is this something I'm too European to understand? Do people die in American restaurants a lot?

Like I know it's much more likely to get food poisoning over there, but that's not insta-killing people... Do people turn down ambulances a lot?

Maybe haunted by lobsters?

I think OP might have meant like, chicken ghosts, or something, but those die in the factories that sell them, which are, for al intents and proposes, already haunted in our own world.

I would say its a common occurrence. My grandfather passed away leaving a pizza shop earlier this year. Back when I was a kid and my parents took me to church, I remember always going to IHOP, Bob Evans, or Perkins after for breakfast (don't worry, my family weren't the type to go for breakfast/brunch to yell at teenage wait staff after church) and I distinctly remember 4 occasions where a fellow diner passed away or had a serious health issue hit them while eating. Bob Evans was the one I remember most. Everything there is very high in sodium and they encourage you to add more. Fun fact: about 2/3 of Americans living with high blood pressure don't know they have it. We live with far too much stress and far too much sodium.

Maybe not at the restaurant but you show me a well established (so in business for 20+ years), that isnt corporate (meaning employs skilled chefs and line cooks), in any downdown metropolitan centre of any size and i guarantee you they have had half a dozen overdoses on average and 3 overdoses at absolute minimum. Again 20 year minimum tho, idk why but those are the ones most likely to give the best employee wages at the cost of working 90hrs a week which adds to the coke followed by heroin cycle Anthony Bourdain was so famous for kicking... till he didnt...

food poisoning perhaps.

Fucking haunted

poltergeist level, capable of dragging people to hell or absorb them into another dimension.

That's my big gripe with american ghost hunting series, they have no perspective. "This house is almost 100 YEARS old, someone actually died here, so now it's HAUNTED!!!", and I'm here in a european farmhouse from the 1700s like, "so shouldn't I be hearing all this same bullshit?"

Unless you're Christian, then animals don't have souls, and are there to be beasts of burdon and food.

Or are Christians not believing that anymore? I always forget what they conveniently decide to pick and choose out of the Bible. One of the most hypocritical groups of people in existence.

Bro even killed a damn elephant

If ghosts are like fossils, we would only have a handful over the whole world, so it really depends on the ghostification process

Ghost lore typically involves some aspect of the deceased becoming ghosts only if they have unfinished business in the mortal realm.

Or only appearing under specific circumstances.

Of course, looking at it pragmatically, the purpose of that lore is to function as a plausible explanation for why ghosts are 'rare' despite the number of dead people.

Just pointing out, this is a logical fallacy is all.

To put it in a non-ghost perspective:

"Given how many people have walked, seeing a gold medal Olympic gymnast should be a common occurrence if they're real... The fact that they aren't is proof that they're not"

Basically the amount of something isn't evidence of the lack of something, it's only evidence of possible rarity.

Your argument is a logical fallacy and could be easily countered by the same fallacy with "Given how many people over time and history have said they have had a paranormal experience, they must be real"

So many bugs too

dead things

I've been trying to get some stuff done at work on our infrastructure, and during the day there's just too much going on with people getting in my way. So, I thought I'll go in during the night shift and do some work when not as many people are around.

I'm in there at 11:00 p.m. running stuff. I'm on the scissor lift working on access points. I have my headphones in and can't hear anything. I look over and one of the signs that denote a location for the scan guns is rocking back and forth like crazy.

That's kind of weird, and I'm looking at all the other signs and not one of them is moving. There's no vibrations or anything, there's no air moving back there at all, and yet this sign is just a-rocking. So, I just look at the sign and say, "Stop that, it's distracting," and it stops.

Now that whatever it is knows that I know it exists, it's trying to make me notice it even more. I'm hearing noises and all this other stuff that I haven't noticed for weeks having worked there at night. I'm not scared, more like weirded out about the whole situation, and I've come to just talk to it now. That calms it down, I guess. I'm trying to see if I can just get a radio that plays in this back corner where everyone seems to avoid at all costs, and I was only there because I needed to be. So, I'm going to see what playing music does to the distractions.

I can't say that I was a believer before, but I'm a believer now.
