So. If ghosts only exist because they have unfinished business, what is it like to live in a world where everyone can see ghosts... and what if you have a loved one die and not be able to see their ghost?

If they... moved on?

Imagine your mom does and you can't see her. You're happy that she's moved on, but who isn't she there? Wouldn't her unfinished business be her family? You?

I absolutely love Morro redemption/resurrection fics but honestly, when I see a fic that’s set after Day of the Departed and Morro being nondead for the 4th time…… all I can imagine is him reacting like “I’M BACK IN THE FUCKING REALM AGAIN?!”

This isn’t a complaint btw. This is hilarious and I greatly enjoy the content I’m finding.

Ghostcore on a budget

If you are like me and have 0 money then there's always cheap options. Whatever you want to do is great, personally I like having a mostly second hand mish mash of stuff. Luckily this is generally a pretty cheap aesthetic anyway, and of course there's no one right way to express it. This is also a pretty versatile thing so, really, go ham however you want.

If you're looking for clothes, a thrift store is of course a great option. However if you have pieces of fabric, there's some stuff you can do with that. Even if you can't sew, drape that shit around you like a dramatic model from a medieval painting and do whatever you want

Most of the best lurk and lingering places are free to go to, like parks, libraries, the woods, abandoned buildings, etc...

I personally like having stuff like candles and soft lights. Most of my candles are tea lights which are pretty cheap at dollar stores.

Flea markets and antique stores can also be good for finding both clothing and accessories or stuff to scatter about your home. Unfortunately these places are usually either dirt cheap or unreasonably expensive, and it's kinda hard to know which it's going to be until you get there

Yard/garage sales are also great, because most of the time those are dirt cheap and have at least a couple really cool things

If you like to have a lot of jewelry, antique stores can be great for that. Sometimes you get lucky and find something absolutely amazing for like 2$. Even if there's nothing particularly amazing, there's almost always some nice bits and pieces for not a lot of money.

Also, finally, the tried and true take whatever your family members don't want. Most of my jewelry and candlesticks came from my parents who just didn't want them, and let me take them

Ghosts of Bengal

Bangali culture and literature are really something else! It’s really amazing! I guess people here are all either great thinkers or have too much free time, or a bit of both.

 Let me present to you Exibit A, types of Bangali bhoot (ghosts). How in the world did there come to be so many types of ghosts in Bengali culture!?

 They’re categorised based on their eating habits (Mecho bhoot which steals and eats fish), their living arrangements (Gechho bhoot which lives in trees), the type of death they had (Begho bhoot which is the ghost of a person eaten or killed by a tiger, Skondhokata which is the ghost of a person who was beheaded) and many more!

 Sometimes, they’re very specific – like, if a ghost lives in a bamboo garden, it’s not called Gecho bhoot, it’s called Besho Bhoot.

 Apparently, they couldn’t even let go of their castes even after death… Brahmodaittyo, the ghost of a holy Brahmin, are believed to be benevolent and are shown to be kind and helpful to humans in stories and movies. As the Bengali saying goes, dheki shorge giye o dhaan bhane.

 Female ghosts, again, are classified into two types based on their marital status. If she dies unmarried or has some unsatisfied desires, she’s known as Petni. On the other hand, Shakchunni is the ghost of a married woman. Now, I have a few questions here – if she died unmarried, but marries after becoming a ghost, what will she be called then? Will the Shakchunni remain a Shakchunni if she divorces her husband after death?

 All this aside, some of these ghosts have very special requirements – because who cares about peace after death, let’s make things more complicated – and are nit-picky about where they live or what they do! Brahmodaittyo, for example, is said to move from bael gaach to ashwatha gaach while the female ghosts (Petni and Shakchunni) seem to prefer living in shaora gaach.

 I genuinely want to know if there was some journalist actually interviewing these ghosts about their un-lives and jobs or if there’s some kind of PhD program out there that researches Bengali ghosts and their habits. (Mostly because, if there is, I want to join, it seems like a more interesting line of work than the one I’m currently in.)

 P.S. I’m a Bangali Indian and I love my culture. This post comes from a place of love for both my culture and my general curiosity about ghosts. Also, there are many more types of ghosts in Bangali culture and folklore, but if I tried to name them all and describe all their mannerisms, we’d be here for a long while.
