Why does spooky shit only ever happen in America or Europe or Asia?

Why not the Middle East or Australia?
>>
Plenty of spooky shit happens in Aus.

However I believe Aliens and Ghosts are just in the imaginations of nutjobs and drug addicts.

also to think that we are the only intelligent lifeforms in the universe is pretty fucking dumb.

I think a lot of it comes from Europe's pre-Christian religions. For example, the belief in witches and curses that lead to witch hunts, came from Germanic paganism. In the new world, Anglo-Saxon settlers in New England created a lot of spooky stories because they still had some pagan beliefs that, in their minds, lent some credibility to "Indian magic/witchcraft" which they used to explain negative events. Also, stories about people, especially women, dancing naked in the forest as some sort of Satanic ritual also comes from Germanic paganism that was incorporated into Christianity before being stamped out by the church.

>>58208233
Because there's way too many deadly animals here to give a shit about some spoopy ghost story where some 16 year old girl heard her great, great grandmothers voice in somebodies fart or something.

The fact my car can break down in the middle of the outback and I can get bitten by 400 different kinds and spiders, k's away from any form of help is a far scarier reality.

No, to assume just by assumption and not analytical reasoning that there must be other intelligent lifeforms within such close proximity to us as to easily able to visit us is pretty dumb. Why is it unreasonable to think that we are actually the first life form to evolve into a sentient being?

>>58208233
Also, plenty spooky shit happening in Middle East, but I guess the climate, environment and day length fosters more spooky shit in Europe, America and Asia than in other places.
>>
>>58208233
>Why not the Middle East or Australia?

I cant speak for the ME but Aussies are not very superstitious people
>>
>>58208233
They just have their own variants for it. Muslims are very superstitious and anything that defies an easy explanation is attributed to djinns, angels or some other miracle.
>>
Doesn't Australia have the hanging rock where school girls routinely go missing?

I don't know if that's true or not I saw the movie years ago
>>
>>58208233
Arabs have plenty of folklore and mytholigical shit that's been incorporated in Islam. It's all really obscure though.

If you're talking urban myths, then I suppose most people don't believe it because it's haram, or maybe it's just pretty hard to find spooky shit when the only thing around you is sand and civil war.

Do people seriously not think that aliens don't exist? Whether they've visited us is a whole other story, but there's no way we're the only living beings in the entire universe.

>>58212274
Sure, I'm open to there being other living things out there. Other intelligent lifeforms that fuck around in the sky over earth for shits and giggles? Nah.

do aliens exist?
probably
have they ever visited us?
fuck no

thinking you can judge all of space just from what we can observe is like looking at a single grain of sand and thinking you know everything about the desert


also why are aliens always depicted as super intelligent? for all we know alien technology is several hundred years LESS advanced than ours and we will end up going to their planet.

this is our ghost called "Pocong".Ghost here are pretty standardized and have names. Pocong is a ghost that look like pic and haunt places that is near jungle area.Its pretty common story that it would just appeared out of nowhere and spook the bejessus out of people while driving.

Most Asian countries have this kind of things and I always wondered what /mena/ ghost supposed to look like
>>
>>58216508
Thanks for the inevitable nightmares!

We don't really name them, just Djinn that are in trees and everywhere.

Spooky

SEA countries have some really neat mythologies. Tell more if you got any.

There are such things as ghosts or any other spooky shit. Man up.

maybe a combination of shorter (non-abo) histories, low population and less spooky abandoned things by the road, misty forests etc and more hours and hours of nondescript bushland in rural areas

I've heard Fins also believe something similiar like us which you guys called Forest Elves.Im amazed that Fins also must forgive the forest if they break a tree or damage any forest property to the nature or face terrible consequences.Here if we go camping we and feel like peeing,first we have to forgive the forest and then continued urinating

That's hundreds of years ago, Finland is barely religious and even less superstitious country nowadays.

>>58216508
That's a nice looking ghost, almost a Silent Hill creature.

>>58208233
Didn't arabs believe in corpse eating ghouls?
>>
>>58216918
But urinating is good for forest

>>
>>58217027
Well, kaatoryyppy (having a drink after catching a bear or a moose) and peijaiset tradition is still strong. Which basically means showing respect to the forest and the game and hope the game will be reborn in the forest.

Family have farms north of Pilliga and used to spend a fair bit of time there, still go shooting out that way once in a while.
