Ghost legends in England: The “Grey Lady” of Weltham Manor has been sighted for six centuries. She’s a lady wearing grey. Though Weltham Manor burnt down in 1904, she haunts the ruins, and is said to wail over her fate.
Ghost legends in Japan: The “Nails-Hand Lady” haunts schools in Japan. If you are in a bathroom and hear nails running along the other stall - stay still. The Nails-Hand Lady is coming for you. If you tell her she’s beautiful, she’ll make you a Nails Hand Lady. If you say she’s ugly, she’ll kill you, with her nails in her hands. If you say you think all women are beautiful, she’ll thank you for respecting women, before killing you, with her nails in her hands.
Ghost legends in America: The old bar in Icetown, Michigan gets cold sometimes, even when it’s only -13F outside. This is theorized to be the previous owner, or perhaps the tragic victims of the incident in the early 1900s where the bar exploded and killed like fifty people, whose fates were not reported in any newspaper.

the fucked up thing is how “Creep” by Radiohead will really get your ass if you hear it at the wrong time. that shit can be stupid and overdramatic or it can have the weight of an atomic bomb dropped on your heart it just depends
It’s actually a song about self loathing and grief over perceiving oneself as undeserving of the love they desire. While this has much in common with the core of incel ideology, the key component it that incels blame this perceived inadequacy and poor self esteem on the women they feel entitled to, whereas Thom Yorke in “Creep” is saying “I hate myself for not being deserving of your love.” Hope this helps.
