Question Of The Day - Tuesday, July 30

Greetings everyone! Happy Tuesday!





What well-known dead person would you least want to be haunted by?





Someone extra sinister would be obvious, particularly serial killers like Xinhai, Barbosa, Chikalito, Gacy or Bundy (Shudder) Don't even want to think the horrible things they would haunt you with. Probably wouldn't care for someone like Stalin, Vlad III or Hussein and his awful sons either!


On a slightly lighter note, Michael Jackson. And if I fudge a little and count a fictional character, Lucy from I Love Lucy. Nope, just nope. Or also anyone who was a very melancholy writer/author or anyone who was known to walk way too much




There are others in mind but I'll keep to that for now. How about you guys?

Ummm, Henry the 8th or any royalty who made big decisions, and basically changed the world around them to specifically suit him/her (maybe all of them ?) LOL

Anybody. I'm terrified by the idea of being haunted. I suppose if I had to choose, then a serial killer or some notorious murderer would be awful.

Attila the Hun

Adolph Hitler

Pretty much most people with a negative history - especially evil dictators like Hitler, Stalin etc or serial killers like Ted Bundy and Fred West.

Honestly, I wouldn't want to be haunted by anyone - not even Ghandi or Mother Teresa.

I'm half Indian, so , Custer.

But the Indians got Custer, didn't they? Taught that dandy a lesson about who to mess with.

I would hate to be haunted by Edgar Allan Poe.

Custer was not something taught in school and I didn't pursue information on him. I do know that he went against orders to make sure there was a slaughter and the only survivor of Little Big Horn was a horse.
So, they could have got him in the end. IDK.

--they did. From what I've read, (ironically enough, I guess) the horse was his.

I wouldn't want to be haunted by Genghis Khan either, although some of his quotes are pretty good LOL

He and his troops were the ones who got slaughtered. Most of the Indians survived. It was a fiasco from the start, from the soldier's viewpoint. The Indians were camped along the side of the Little Big Horn, and Custer only spotted the tail end, not realizing he was vastly outnumbered. Then he split his troops, and it went downhill from there. Wikipedia has along article on it.

The only order I remember that he disobeyed was that he was told to go one way and he went another. It was a decisive victory for the Lakota, Arapaho, and Cheyenne.

I was surprised when visiting South Dakota that a town was named for him. He certainly wasn't a hero.

All those dictators who ordered to kill their own people and others, including our very own former leader Marcos.

I hope they are all living together in one stinking place, and making each other's lives more hellish as hell.

I don't want to be haunted by anybody!

My thoughts exactly. I was thinking along the lines of Ted Bundy, Hitler, etc. I don't want to think about it too much though because I'm kind of superstitious and don't want to put anything out into the universe.
