#no respect for the dead during spooky szn i guess. its like the one time. cmon

[preeeow]

happy october! tis the season of people posting like. deeply saddening human stories only to follow it up with "wow isn't that creepy spooky :)"

like. no? this man defended his family member's final resting place from urban development. why would that be haunted or spooky, instead of just like. sad that he had to stand there for hours with a gun to keep people from disturbing her grave? why aren't we thinking about the fact that thousands of other people fought that same fight and didn't win, didn't get a median with a historical marker to forever commemorate your love for your family member. and your devotion to her rest.

the dude who was unburied and mummified in Pennsylvania only just now getting buried is not "creepy" and "scary" its fucking sad that this man was allowed to be experimented on and displayed because he committed a petty crime hundreds of years ago.

like i think ghost stories and believing in a remnant of people's spirits is fun but like. not at the expense of these idk. very real human experiences that are frequent throughout history. its not creepy. its just fucking sad that people DO this to each other.
