What in all that is holy is going on here. How did people think this was real
a literal phantom of a sunken naval vessel can appear and some people won’t believe.
if this is a reference to something, I’m more than interested to hear
The… post that we’re all in right now.
oh! gosh I forget the post for the thread
According to that page, she was married for 11 more years after she died. That’s commitment.
Til death to us part doesn’t apply to witches and mediums.
I mean you’re not wrong, but I’m fairly sure it’s “until death do us part”.
Well I tried to write “til death do us part”
“do” became “to” as either a typo or autocorrect.
I usually hear it with “til” as on old time abbreviation for “until”
Heh, I guess that’s a risky abbreviation in a TIL thread.
And often misspelled as the other word for a cash register drawer. 🥲
Mama didn’t raise a quitter.
Okay but regurgitating cheesecloth on demand is a pretty wild party trick either way.
She doesn’t look like a medium. She’s at least a large.
The term refers to her preferred pace.
The salsa?

So spicy
That was a wild ride. Thanks!
TIL ectoplasm in the ghost sense (as opposed to cellular) is a concept that existed before Ghostbusters. I thought they just took the cell biology term to sound sciency.
Dan akroyd is a real believer, he ghost hunts as a hobby and the original draft of Ghostbusters was grounded in “reality” until Harold Ramis reeled him in.
Just looked it up, and yeah, you’re underselling it. I had no idea
He’s so into it he’d probably say that acting is the hobby and ghost hunting is his real job
Weirdly misleading title. She must’ve known, and from leaks she definitely did know.
So instead of charging her for espionage or something they instead charge her for…. Witchcraft?!
Wikipedia says:
The Witchcraft Act 1735 (9 Geo. 2. c. 5) was an act of the Parliament of Great Britain in 1735 which made it a crime for a person to claim that any human being had magical powers or was guilty of practising witchcraft. With this, the law abolished the hunting and executions of witches in Great Britain. The maximum penalty set out by the act was a year’s imprisonment.
It thus marks the end point of the witch trials in the Early Modern period for Great Britain and the beginning of the “modern legal history of witchcraft”, repealing the earlier Witchcraft Acts which were originally based in an intolerance toward practitioners of magic but became mired in contested Christian doctrine and superstitious witch-phobia.
So likely actually she got charged for claiming she has magical powers since the law says that it’s a crime for a person (which I assuming includes yourself) to claim that someone has magical powers.
In 1944, Duncan was one of the last people convicted under the Witchcraft Act 1735 (9 Geo. 2 c. 5), which made falsely claiming to procure spirits a crime.
But if they couldn’t have known the ship sank, was it really a false claim? What if they arrested the only real spirit medium? 🤷♂️
who’s sinking
Who’s asking?
Oops, fixed.
I guess the incorrect spelling is to bait interaction?
