Eleven Regional Ghost StoriesIn the 19th century, a pig iron furnaced flourished in Birmingham, Alabama, but it was also the cause of death for many of its workers. They had an overseer who was so cruel the workers ended up throwing him into the furnace. Is it true? Who knows, but people talk about the eerie voices they hear as they tour Sloss Furnaces, which is now a National Historic Landmark. And then there's Huggin' Molly.It's best to stay home when the sun sets in Abbeville, Alabama, if you want to avoid Huggin' Molly's chilly embrace. As the legend goes, beginning in the early 1900s, an oversize figure clad in all black began roaming the streets at night looking for unsuspecting victims. Once she fixates on someone, she hugs the person and screams loudly into their ears. Many people have recounted stories of being chased by what they believe was Huggin' Molly.Whether the ghosts are real or not, they are told about in real places (and they aren't all in Alabama).

A Ghost and His GooThis comedy collaboration between Droodle and Joel Haver brings up some questions about our modern vision of ghosts. The original conception of ghosts is that of disembodied souls who wander the earth due to unfinished business. As such, they are pretty scary. But they are specters, meaning they have no corporeal form. They can't lift a finger to actually do anything to us, so why are we scared of them? Yeah, yeah, I know- a ghost's abilities are defined by the needs of a ghost story's plot. In this video, we have an everyday conversation about the ghost's abilities that seem to be suspiciously convenient as it pertains to housecleaning. And he still hasn't cleaned up his ectoplasm.Just wait until I make a video about my very corporeal bat roommates. -via Geeks are Sexy  #ghost #comedy #animation
