Let's talk about death. None of us really want to. But why not? It's part of life whether we like it or not. No one has figured out a way to avoid it. It sure can be grim but it doesn't have to be. There is a place for humor, mystery, wonder, etc.
But the title of this Post is interesting. Years ago I would NEVER buy anything secondhand at a flea market/yard sale/church sale, etc. There was definitely a yech factor for me. I would only buy things in stores, hopefully on sale. At a hospital fundraiser I bought a used beautiful old suit for not much money. It had belonged to someone else. In fact his name was written inside the suit jacket pocket. I kind of went eww but it fit perfectly. This was my first secondhand purchase. While commuting on the train one day I ran into an older friend. He was a proud Harvard grad and always impeccably dressed. He commented on what a nice suit I had on. It was my secondhand new old suit. So I told him about the suit and I mentioned the name that was in the suit. It turns out that my friend actually knew the person! That was a little spooky but interesting. I unfortunately never felt the former owner's spirit. I wore that suit until it literally fell apart.
So how about you? Have you experienced any spirits, ghosts, odd winds, happenings related to anything you've bought secondhand from flea markets/yard sales, etc.? I have not. And I believe in spirits. And I now buy almost everything I buy from yard sales. I almost never buy retail anymore. I find it fun. And it's amazing the large number of wonderful things I've purchased at yard sales for next to nothing.
