You can be my boo....BOO!
Ghostly Raps
This time of year, I always think about ghosts. Maybe its because Halloween is coming or maybe its because I can never sleep at night. I bring this up because last night at 3AM I was wandering around my house wishing that the sky did not look bright orange while I thought about ghosts.
On ghost hunting shows they interview people before they start the process of looking for spirits. "I saw a woman wearing a white dress" or "I saw a man in a uniform" are the popular answers. During the investigation they may pick up a disjointed voice from another room that sounds like it does not belong in our realm.
This made me think. In two hundred years, when people are still convinced houses are haunted and that they are being visited by ghosts from beyond, will they still sound so...classy? Think about it. Say a guy dies tomorrow in an apartment building in a shootout over something dumb like losing a football bet, or some girl, or anything drug related.
Right now, ghosts wander your halls over lost loves, or looking for something they misplaced like a treasured watch. What will this man be looking for? How will people describe his "uniform"? What sort of voice is going to be digitally recorded?
Instead of saying "I seek that which I have lost, my most eternal love" they will say things like "Get the fuck out of here bitches! I am trying to haunt this joint up!" Instead of haunting strands of chamber music playing through the building, ghost hunters of the future could very well have "Baby Got Back" playing on a loop for all eternity.
Something tells me ghost hunting will not be as popular two hundred years from now...
