Lunchroom folklore

[moon_custafer]

Today’s debate was over whether miscarriages are caused by ghosts or by curses. Eventually this led to someone arguing from the Bible that there’s no such thing as ghosts (i.e., souls are not permitted to walk the earth after death), and someone in pro-ghost faction told not to take the book so literally.

I don’t know if my own life is normal or weird by comparison.

Good god, were any of the women who actually suffered miscarriages present at the discussion?
'Oh hi, Brenda, we were just wondering if you lost your baby because of a malicious haunting, or a curse sent by your enemy. What do you think?'

No, they have their own lunch room (the factory I mean, not everyone who's had a miscarriage.)

It still seems kind of insensitive, though.
That and downright loony-toons; do they blame witches if the coffee tastes funny?

No, I think they only suspect the supernatural when there’s no obvious explanation; or when it’s something bad enough that it’s more comforting to think somebody’s to blame than this stuff just happens.
