It's because in America, the entire country was built on a native burial ground and out ghosts are fucking PISSED. They don't want corn dogs, they want your bone marrow and teeth.

I have "organ donor" designated on my drivers license. Might that appease the vengeful spirits of our native American ancestors?
Only if you donate them right now!
How come it's always some pale-ass Victorian era ghost? Where's all the ghosts of kids who died doing tiktok challenges? Wake up at the witching hour hearing a disembodied voice be like
"On god I'm dead, no cap fam."
“Just like… uh.. Amanda was so… like… whatevuuuuur…”
Oh god!!! I need an exorcist NOW!!!
Disco ghosts please
If i got haunted by some fucking teen doing stupid shit for an ethereal smartphone camera i would be severely disappointed.

We should have all the disfigured kids killed in factory work from the early 1900s screaming curses at you in 1920s paperboy lingo.
My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperial. Can you say the same?
I do not have nearly enough Mormon blood on my hands for my ancestors to like me.

I'd buy a carbon monoxide monitor, if I was that guy.
Good idea if they have gas. But it's probably just the photos framed on the wall.
Or the electrical outlets. I always thought of them as little guys when I was a kid.

wall people that have their eyes open are just family photos
I'll never forget I was 4 years old I asked my dad if the pictures on the wall could see. Without taking a moment to think, he simply said "Yes." I immediately suspected he was an idiot and that entire exchange has stayed with me.
I was thinking maybe electrical outlets
I think many Americans perceive themselves as having a spiritual 'negative karma' so to speak.
Especially religious people and in particular Christians that believe they are born with that negative karma (original sin).
That or we believe the only reason any dead person would stay in the US is because they're trying to do as much damage as physically possible as vengeance
Almost like a collective negative karma then, interesting.
theres some nice beaches to haunt
And they’re breaching the living with mass shootings and suicides

probably the puritans’ fault
America was founded by people who moved out because they got scared.
I wonder if it's because of what Americans did to the native population.
I mean, the US is bad, but everywhere is just as bad. Groups of humans have been killing other groups of humans and taking their land for millennia.
I think they mostly mixed into the native population after a while though. At least in Europe. Australia should probably have the same problem.

I embrace the ghosts in my dwellings. Americans are just afraid of everything. You can tell by how many guns they own, usually.
I don't know if you know this, but there's Americans absolutely fucking everywhere around here. You'd want a gun if you were surrounded by Americans too
What kinda "friendship" requires yearly appeasement? Y'all out here getting bullied and pretending they're besties.
This is actually the right way to approach them.
Exercise the scary house and banish needy house spirits like gnomes or brownies. If it's fae, tell them to get fucked, fae are the worst abusers. Don't let parasites dictate how you run your home.
I have a picture of a house on a leash going for a run.
Can someone from "everywhere else" confirm?
Can confirm, have had mythical beast in house for a couple of decades at this point. Doesn't do any harm so long as we keep some coins taped to the wall nearby, protects the place otherwise.

I wonder if it's due to the US not really having a strong culture of folklore, like in Europe or Asia.
May I suggest a nice rice porridge and foaming mug of hvitøl? It works around these parts.
Parents oughta be like: "Tell us more about these wall people!" and a couple hours later you got a film treatment like "Vengeance of the Wall People with their Eyes Always Open."
We use to take care of our fae friends.
Now I have a hankering for a forest hot dog. Would anyone be so kind? Maybe a side of forest curly fries? Thank you for being a friend.
