Hopelessly Locked In A "Fear Cage"

Lead Investigator

Stephen said in his review: "What we need to do," says Paul, "is get a glass of water from the kitchen." This intro leads us into the investigation's crowning moment of surreality. As Paul tells the tale, a guest once came to the apartment and asked for some water and some black bread. When morning came, the staff learned that he hadn't eaten the bread or drunk the water during the evening. When asked about it, the man replied, "Oh, it's not for me. It's for the spirits." There's something missing from this anecdote. What is it? Oh yes… anything supernatural whatsoever. What we have here is the story of someone not eating something. Nevertheless, Paul and Susan acquire water and bread and start an EVP session. Paul is not satisfied, though, so he decides to provoke the spirits. He does this by first threatening to eat the bread, then by actually eating the bread. Any spirits nearby appear unimpressed. Paul then complains that the bread is bad-tasting and dry, which might explain why the original tenant didn't eat his bread in the first place. Oh well. I guess that's a debunk of sorts."

Outstanding.  I had forgotten about this gem.  I remember just laughing at this one.  It's like me leaving out milk and cookies for Santa when I was six years old.  Years go by and suddenly this story becomes proof of Santa.  Whaaaaaat? Laughing
