Lol at all the East Coasters in this thread.
Our mountains are old, show some respect!
Our mountains are haunted, oooo scaaaarrrry!!!
Hahahahah!
Nah, nah.
Scary is a semi truck with failed brakes barreling down a 14 degree grade with a 1000ft drop awaiting it if it can’t maintain control untill it hits a designated crash zone 5 miles away.
Scary is a literal fucking volcano exploding with the force of many nuclear weapons.
Scary is whenever the Cascadia superquake hits and maybe also triggers the San Andreas fault at the same time, and turns the West Coast into an actual 90s/00s disaster movie.
There’s a difference between scary and creepy.
Your mountains? That’s scary. It’s frightening in the moment, but at the end of the day, ok, you made it down the mountain.
These mountains? They’re creepy. When you come down the mountain, something comes down with you.
Or, and hear me out, that’s all bullshit carried over from a time when people still burned witches.
Just saying, it makes no sense for all the scary shit to be isolated in the most easily accessible mountain range in the U.S. yet you never hear people treat the Rocky’s with the same mysticism.
I’m just saying there’s a different vibe to the fears people have of the region, and by saying the Rocky mountains don’t have the same vibe you kinda proved my point.
No, I’m saying people who live in the Rocky mountains aren’t as superstitious as those who live in the Appalachian mountains.
Ah, the traditionally (and mildly classist and racist) assumption that people out west are somehow mentally superior and more educated, while the people in Appalachia are poor dumb hicks.
Funny how culture shapes our perspectives, innit
Superstition is superstition - you can try to paint this as a class thing but ultimately ghosts aren’t fucking real. Seems like one part of the country gets that, the other doesn’t.
Where does JD Vance come from, again?
Funny you say that when you have an entire state run by Mormons.
Oooo people who tell ghost stories and urban legends are stupid but we’re smart with our magic underwear oooo
I think all religion is superstition - if you actually read what I wrote you’d be able to put that together, but you think I’m being racist because you’re missing a few critical brain wrinkles.
