Oh but Shaku, you did get your candy…it came with her in the form of sloppy seconds. No need to thank me though, everyone gets my love~!

BTW mate, who’s the bug-eyed fellow in your pic?

If I had to pick a place that is haunted, in Seoul, I would pick 창덕궁 since it has a melancholy vibe to it. I prefer not to go there because of that.

George Ladd: “It was erected by the tyrant Lord Kwanghai who was here dethroned, and from here sent into exile, where he died a prisoner. From it also his successor was driven out by the usurping ‘Three Days King.’ It was in this palace, also, that the King Suk-jong having surprised his favorite concubine in practicing magic rites to accomplish the death of the Queen whom she had already caused to be divorced and banished, turned upon the concubine in revenge, mutilated the Crown Prince, had her torn in pieces.”

How much of that is true? I’m not familiar with Korean history all too much, but from what I can tell from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L.....n_monarchs , Gwanghaigun’s successor didn’t get usurped by a “Three Days King.” And the thing about the voodoo concubine, is that real?

Something I found on the net:

“According to the Gallup poll, one in ten Americans believed in ghosts in 1978. In 1990, one in four did. Today, one in ten people say they have seen or been in the presence of a ghost!”

Wonder what the ratio is now?

#3: Heh. Everything wrong in the world can be blamed on three things: Israel, George Bush and/or Global Worming.

The schoolyard epithet “ghost,” referring to half-Caucasian half-Korean kids, now makes sense. Thanks, Mr. Neff.

Christianity would be so much cooler if Jesus’s title was “Jesus the Holy Ghost Child.”

But what is their connection to fan death? Surely these spirits are involved…
