Topics
Dan: 我讲述了一个在冲绳的童年经历,那时我遇到了一个被称为“白女巫”的鬼魂。这个鬼魂是一位在二战期间失去孩子的母亲,她因战争的恐怖而自杀。我小时候对死亡感到恐惧,但通过Mama-san的故事,我开始理解冲绳人对死亡的独特看法,他们认为死亡是生活的一部分,逝去的亲人仍然与我们同在。我亲眼目睹了白女巫的出现,这让我对这个地方充满了恐惧,同时也对战争的悲剧感到深深的悲伤。 Lulu Marie: 我对Dan的故事深感震撼,特别是Mama-san讲述的关于白女巫的背景故事。我很好奇是否有关于孩子在黑暗中失踪的传说,因为他们可能越过了某种无形的界限。我也很欣赏其他文化对死亡的态度,他们更加平静,将死亡视为生活的一部分。我同时对故事中孩子们在不同语言背景下也能自如交流感到触动,这体现了孩子们纯真和无障碍的交流能力。

Shownotes Transcript

This first story of Dan's was mined from a Ghost Stories subreddit full of nothing but supposedly true paranormal encounters. The poster claims to have seen his fair share of all the gruesome horrors mankind has to offer during his time in the service but *nothing *he ever witnessed as a soldier ever terrified him quite as much as the inexplicable thing he saw in Okinawa.  Then we explore the lore that surrounds Edmonton, Canada’s supposedly haunted Firkins House, where the ghost of a child, a haunted doll, and more have supposedly been encountered on numerous occasions. Lynze has a fun tale that feels like your brother called you to tell you about his insane day work. What do two men discover while installing a Radon system? Lastly, a fun tale of Bill, a tour bus driving who never wanted to give up his job.

Opening Sumerian protection spell (adapted):

"Whether thou art a ghost that hath come from the earth, or a phantom of night that hath no home… or one that lieth dead in the desert… or a ghost unburied… or a demon or a ghoul… Whatever thou be until thou art removed… thou shalt find here no water to drink… Thou shalt not stretch forth thy hand to our own… Into our house enter thou not. Through our fence, breakthrough thou not… we are protected though we may be frightened. Our life you may not steal, though we may feel SCARED TO DEATH."
