krisb Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Would a picture of Thaksin scare the gosts away? Posters of his sister already do..... Nah shes cute. I disagree. Margaret Thatcher now she has some scare factor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisb Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is my thing. I descend from a long line of alpine ghost chasers, exorcists and magic-drink-mixers. Therefore, the Isaan could be my destiny. Would I need a work permit or just plenty of Karma. ( Karma in this case: Plenty of start-up cash?) Cheers. Ive read your post 3 times. Still makes no real sense sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still makes no real sense sorry. Not to worry Krisb. Sometimes I read other posts 17 times and they dont make sense to me. It was just in good humor, and without beeing familiar with the term "Karma" the punchline can not be grasped. Cheers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudcrab Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) There was a very educational documentary on Nat Geo about this , medical science having established that it's abnormal electrical activity causing heart failure in otherwise healthy people . I think it's also hereditary and can be prevented . As is their way, however , those who have no access to this education , and some who do, prefer to believe in superstition ! Hence grown men in Isaarn have been known to wear make -up , wigs and nighties to "fool" this Widow-ghost ! Some, of course, don't need an excuse ....... I have no doubt about the abnormal electrical activity thing.......some ...no ALL of the wiring I have seen in houses/businesses is absolutley atrocious..., downright dangerous.

Unexplainable Electrical Ocurrences can be avoided by "Grounding". (A heavy Copper - Wire going into the ground for 2 meters or so will probably eliminate "Strange Electrical Occurrences".) Even if lighning strikes. Not that easy to do, since most wiring is still done by 2 plug-ins. Chances are, that your Hotel in Bangkok is not grounded. To reduce danger of beeing executed due to "Strange Electrical Occurrences" only take cold showers, and leave the electrical water heater alone. If you are a gambling man, take your chances. There were only 5 hotel-guests in upper-class- hotels in Bangkok that have lost their live while trying to take a hot shower over the last 5 years. The death-toll outside this environement and due to the same "strange-electrical-occurrence-syndrome" are not known. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totster Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 (edited) Cobblers. They repair shoes, now what about this ghost ? We had a 'thing' go round the village a while back that everyone born on a certain day had to put a scarecrow type thing at the front of the house, otherwise the ghost would visit in the night and eat us.. totster Edited January 20, 2013 by Totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamescollister Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Much of this stuff, you just have to go with the flow, new car. 2 years ago has magic spells written behind the sun visor. When we build our small factory a shaman came to bless the work, if no one died he got a pig. He can't lose, someone one dies, he doesn't come back for the pig. FIL gets bitten in the jungle by a cobra or some other snake, spends 3 days in hospital on an IV. Soon as he gets out we are off to see the local snake witch doctor, who blows smoke up is ass for 500 Baht. When I was young had an uncle swore blind that his dogs chased one off the wee people in Ireland. Aborigines can point a bone or sing people to death and people who believe will die. Seen the maid of the mist in the Lake districts of the UK and if I had not gone to school and new no better I would have believed. Spend a night in the dungeons of Warwick castle and then say there are no ghosts. Who is realty right, I believe in quantum mechanics, things so small that they don't really exist in time or space. May be the guy blowing smoke up your ass is right. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thot Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 Red shirts are hanging out here in northwest Korat province. Asked the wife if we should do the same. No, she said, as the ghost does not like farangs! Feel much safer now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite comical really 555 They are true believers in our parts (Prasat area), my wife puts on a "Feed the Ghosts" feast every year. I rather like it, lots of good food and beer and stuff, and after the ghosts have had their opportunity to eat and drink..well, then I get to. mario299 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
