America has them too. They just tend to be the hyper progressives that society shunned. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benjamin_Lay no hotdogs thou.

My ancestors are smiling at me, Imperial. Can you say the same?

[-] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 hours ago

Damn this meme got me thinking about things

I do not have nearly enough Mormon blood on my hands for my ancestors to like me.

[-] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 6 points 7 hours ago

I wonder if it's because of what Americans did to the native population.

We use to take care of our fae friends.

I embrace the ghosts in my dwellings. Americans are just afraid of everything. You can tell by how many guns they own, usually.

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 3 points 7 hours ago

I don't know if you know this, but there's Americans absolutely fucking everywhere around here. You'd want a gun if you were surrounded by Americans too

[-] Echolynx@lemmy.zip 4 points 9 hours ago

I wonder if it's due to the US not really having a strong culture of folklore, like in Europe or Asia.

Can someone from "everywhere else" confirm?

Can confirm, have had mythical beast in house for a couple of decades at this point. Doesn't do any harm so long as we keep some coins taped to the wall nearby, protects the place otherwise.

Europe and Asia have extensive folklore traditions...

I think many Americans perceive themselves as having a spiritual 'negative karma' so to speak.

Especially religious people and in particular Christians that believe they are born with that negative karma (original sin).

It's because in America, the entire country was built on a native burial ground and out ghosts are fucking PISSED. They don't want corn dogs, they want your bone marrow and teeth.

wall people that have their eyes open are just family photos

[-] m0darn@lemmy.ca 1 points 37 minutes ago

I was thinking maybe electrical outlets

[-] xxce2AAb@feddit.dk 3 points 15 hours ago

May I suggest a nice rice porridge and foaming mug of hvitøl? It works around these parts.

Parents oughta be like: "Tell us more about these wall people!" and a couple hours later you got a film treatment like "Vengeance of the Wall People with their Eyes Always Open."
