The Haunted Meme

There are ghosts all around, at any time, lingering in places where they died or that were emotionally significant during their lives. Some of them refuse to give up the life they once lived, some have yet to accept that they have died, and some just want revenge against those who are still living.

Wherever you are, whatever you were doing, you've happened across a place where a particularly strong ghost (or maybe more than one?) is lingering. The ghost might try to possess you, using your body to do what it cannot, it might try to torment you in whatever ways it can, or it might just try to attack you. What will you do? Who you gonna call?

HOW IT WORKS:
Leave a comment with your character's name and canon, and your preferences. Remember that the ghosts can possess your character (influencing their actions or outright taking control of them) or torment them (exerting an outside influence or attacking).

Please respect others' preferences when tagging, and if a thread goes somewhere you aren't comfortable, communicate with your thread partner.


1) ANGRY This ghost either died angry or has become so over time. It might want to take out its anger on someone else, make noise, or hit or break things, whether by itself or using your character's body or special abilities.

2) VENGEFUL This ghost wants revenge. Maybe it's against someone who wronged them in life, maybe it's against their murderer, or maybe it's just against the living. They might mistake your character for the target, or use their body to exact their vengeance.

3) REGRETFUL This ghost is much sadder and quieter, consumed by regrets of things unsaid and never done. They might just lurk about and increase the emo factor, or they could drive your character into despair.

4) DEMANDING This ghost wants something done. Maybe they want a message delivered or a hidden treasure found. Or maybe they just want to force your character to compete a task. Whatever it is, they won't stop demanding it until they're satisfied.

5) LUSTFUL Being a ghost gets very lonely. Maybe they want to possess your character to experience the pleasures of the flesh once more. Maybe the ghosts of star-crossed lovers will drive two people together. Or maybe your character might just feel an intangible hand copping a feel...

6) OBLIVIOUS This ghost doesn't realize it's dead. They might resent your character's presence or mistake them for the real ghost. Or they could accidentally inhabit your character's body and try to continue their normal routine.

7) INHUMAN This ghost isn't the spirit of a person, but something else. Maybe an animal, maybe a creature thought to be imaginary, maybe an alien that hitched a ride on a meteor, whatever it was it wasn't normal. And if it possesses your character, neither are they.

[Chrissy is most likely a regretful ghost, but given enough time she could evolve into an angry type.]

[How do you do, ghosts and ghouls, resident fake psychic/medium ready to get in over his head! I'm down for either a scenario where Reigen communicates with a ghost or has to deal with a companion he brought somewhere haunted getting possessed by a ghost, so feel free to torment this guy as much as you want!

Open to crosscanon and assumed CR as well!]

_{[ is. Is reigen up for an extremely finicky prima donna of a ghost that keeps criticizing all his candle layouts, and won't give any hints how to Actually release him from the hideously gaudy mansion he's ruining the property value of "until he gets it right this time." ]}

[Oh PLEASE subject him to this I am so ready]

<sub>[ a ghost, absolutely; most likely a demanding one trying very hard to get you to dig up the roots of a scary looking tree on the property.

(His bones are tangled in them, obviously.)

underlying nature is either regretful or oblivious. Oblivious would be a much meaner, darker edition.

bonus lustful flavor avaliable any way about it because. Listen. I'm AHS trash I love ghost sex ]</sub>

[ Likely the (very) haunted, but can also do a little pseudo-haunting herself. ]

[Him getting possessed by the angry, vengeful ghost of his brother or an ancestor could be a fun twist on his canon. If he's the possessing ghost, he'd work well for just about any prompt. I'd be down with exploring 5 in a non-sexual, more sensation-seeking capacity, too, like him just stealing delicious food and wine and trying to eat it, that sort of thing. Him as an oblivious ghost could be fun as well!]
