My goodness!
Imagine an afterlife where you have to walk up and down the aisles at Market Basket? You can’t even try anything, or take anything home to eat?
No thanks! That’s not an afterlife, but rather Hell!
The scientist type explains that the zombies want to return to the place where they were the happiest. I thought that was a pretty funny comment on shopping mall culture.
Is a grocery store the best place to spend eternity?
Ghosts do exist! 10% of all Americans have seen them. 33% of Englishmen and %48 of Italians report encountering ghosts. But, the question is not if they exist—but what is their nature? Some believe they are faint glances into the past or present? Or glances into other mirror worlds? Some suggest they might be impressions of thoughts somehow transmitted by ESP from others? Another theory is that they are left over emotional traces impressed onto the environment that can be seen or heard when things are just right. Not just spirits of the dead.
One afternoon I was napping, drifting in and out a bit and I heard this voice and she said “I am sorry that I passed away on you.” I awoke immediately and it was so clear that I noted the time and jotted down both the time and date.
It was very strange. I wonder who it was.
Thank you for those stats. I have often wondered about this myself. There is a whole lot of “curious” there for sure.
I’d cherish that experience of seeing it.
I’d like to be there when it happens, to see for myself.
Must have ate something there that killed it.

No, Market Basket is a big chain in Massachusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. Ghosts are real, at a restaurant that is haunted, I had my fork fall on the floor. My ex wife was there, too...
I don’t disagree, but why a grocery store in a place where there certainly were no grocery stores in Victorian times?
It makes no sense.
Re: Post #11...LOL
It’s better if you believe it. Seeing them out of the blue is kind of creepy. Otherwise, it’s just “ Martha” out for a walk. A lot less scary that way.
I worked on the basement floor of a hospital. The morgue was across the hall. I never saw anything, but all of my overnight staff had seen or heard things. They would just call out for “Martha” to knock it off, they had to work. And it would stop.
I was their supervisor for about two years before I heard about Martha. I asked each group that worked overnights and they all “knew” Martha.
Back in the 70s, 80s, something always struck me when I saw one of these gargantuan shopping malls:
When we dig up the ancient past, we find temples to the gods, and to the ideals that they represented to the people. When they dig up late 20th-early 21st century America, except for a few pretty monuments and churches, they’ll find enormous temples devoted to Consumerism...
(I don’t think many ancient people built such permanent and imposing structures specifically for mere buying and selling...their minds seem to have been elsewhere.)
I think I believe. I was in the hospital in mid January having a triple bypass...not that much fun BTW...and I saw ghosts in my room. I told girly friend and she replied that is was probably the morphine they were giving me. Hmmm. Maybe.
Figures, even after death we need to return all that beer we rented.
