    1. Says a lot about the current state of the economy when even the ghosts can’t be arsed.

      World is running out of ghosts, miracles, fairies etc since everyone have a video recording phone handy.

      I’m slightly worried about what plans he might have to rectify this problem.

      He says the ghosts might be rechargeable. They’re probably converting from lightning to USB-C cables and there’s a shortage because of global events.

      We just don’t have enough horrific deaths per year to keep our ghost supply topped up! Think of the ghost tour industry!

      When this expert says “dying off” what exactly does this mean, is it like a do-over or whatever it’s called?

    7. theProfileGuy on

      Someone dies and becomes a ghost and then dies again. Will people stop dying over and over again.

    8. >”So far I’ve had almost 800 replies and even some supposedly highly haunted places like Conisbrough Castle in South Yorkshire, the Ettington Park Hotel in Stratford said to be one of the most haunted hotels in the UK and Fortnum and Mason in Piccadilly, say they haven’t experienced anything in the last few years.”

      Not since smartphone cameras have been around at least

    9. I had a person say to me in a completely serious way that “there are people across the world that can see what others are doing and heal them”

      Yikes! How prevalent are such beliefs?

      Right, if there’s anyone on here thinking of posting to r/rickygervais, we’ve done this!

      Maybe Rishi could tempt them back with a Spectral Triple Lock Plus.

      He could also conjure up unspecified sums of money for 100,000 phantom apprenticeships.

      OK guys. I’ll take one for the team and start making new ghosts- why are you all backing away from me?

    13. WELL, thats not what I herd!! I herd that on the small boats chock full of foreneers, that they r also bringing there own ghosts with them!

      Honest to god British ghosts going the same way as the red squerrel, sad!

      Ingerland is jus not the same anymore, not lik when i was young in the 1950s, them days a ghost could proper make u shit the bed!

      Fucking hell, even those those don’t believe in the in the Bible;

      Ecclesiastes 9:5

      Dead know nothing at all.

      Those who believe in science know that ghosts are a pile bullshit.

    15. ReasonableRaisin3665 on

      After 14 years of tory rule, they’ve even destroyed the ghost community.

    16. InternationalRich150 on

      Maybe Ghosts BBC have it accurate and they do get sucked off!

      Or maybe they just never actually existed. We shall never know. Or will we….

    17. ElementalPup on

      Translation: less people believe in this bullshit therefore it’s losing any traction it had before.

    18. No-Impact1573 on

      Running out of ghosts,.as cameras are ubiquitous in just about every home, shop, museum etc.. Funny that.

    19. markhalliday8 on

      I’m sure there will be loads more added with the current state of the NHS

    20. nekrovulpes on

      Well if ghosts can die, surely that means there can be ghosts of ghosts?

    21. Calyipso787 on

      This sounds like something Karl Pilkington would bring up on the podcasts

    22. Maybe he just looked in the wrong places.

      Modern ghosts maybe just hang out in different places these days.

      Instead of old stately homes, hospitals and old asylums has he checked out cinemas, Disneyland or Starbucks?

    23. Efficient_Sky5173 on

      This is serious. Rent is so high that people are scaring ghosts away in order to live in well known cheap haunted houses.

    24. Pristine_Car5399 on

      With all the teenage stabbings, there should be lots of new young ghosts around. Maybe they’re all watchingTikTok and sending SnapChat photos and ghostly dick pics. Lazy fucking ghost kids can’t even be bothered haunting properly! 

    25. Silly_Triker on

      Probably because all the ghosts nowadays are on their bloody ghost smartphones, not like the ghosts of old, just living (or rather not) in the moment
