What dead person would you least want to be haunted by?

Asked by judochop (16119points) October 26th, 2009

In the spirit of Halloween I was looking on the interwebs for some ideas and came across this awesome question.
If you had a choice given to you on Hallows Eve to pick one person to NOT be haunted by, who would it be and why?

hmm. Interesting. My first thought was Hitler, but I have blonde hair and blue eyes, and I’m pale as a baby seahorse so I don’t think he’d bother with me.

@Ansible1: yes, I imagine it would be frightening for a ghost to throw a tantrum at you!

ooh wait, I know… Robert Stack. That guy freaked me out when he was ALIVE, nevermind dead. is he dead? o.o lol

Georges Bataille… I’m pretty ok with being haunted in a stereotypical sense, but who knows what else that guy would try and pull!

Rod Serling’s ghost would scare the crap outta me! for obvious reasons

Billy Mays; can you imagine him yelling at you while your trying to sleep?

I’m not sure I’d want to be haunted by Sam Wheat either. I couldn’t deal with Henry the Eighth for hours ;)

Any serial killer.

My grandfather… he was so mean… oh wait, was that inappropriate?

@shockrocks yeah, I don’t think so

The guy from the ShamWow commercial. Why? He’s a sketchball.

Giving it a good ten seconds thought, I’d assume being haunted by Lady Astor would be horrible, even worse if I was Winston Churchill. ~

I’d have to say Genghis Khan.
1. I would not be able to understand him.
2. He was mean as a piss fire.
3. He killed people and used them as walls.

@troubleinharlem I don’t think Vince from ShamWow/SlapChop is dead…I know he got arrested for picking up a hooker (with coke?), but I don’t think he’s dead….

Anyone, really..

I couldn’t think of any famous person, but there is a puppet that scares the shit out of me. It Jigsaw.
But I have a creepy undead person. Carrot Top. I could not even begin to imagine him pulling out his chest of stuff. He’s worst than Felix that cat with his bag.

Probably Michael Jackson because he was such a freak of nature, among other things.

Psychedelic_Zebra's avatar

@shego I forgot about Carrot Top. He is scary enough alive; just imagine how scary he is dead.

shego's avatar

@Psychedelic_Zebra I know. He is very scary. I saw him once, and my parents tried to get a picture with me and him, I ran off. I think it was the hair, I don’t know.

poofandmook's avatar

I don’t think I’d want to be haunted by Gallagher, either… with that giant mallet.

troubleinharlem's avatar

@Bluefreedom – D: I liked Michael. I think his image is seriously flawed.

fiendxxxclub's avatar

If he were dead, I would say Dr. Phil… can you imagine the nagging?

troubleinharlem's avatar

@fiendxxxclub – That would be insane.

never mind

Any Kennedy, they came from such a huge family they would probably pester me constantly to pass messages along to all the living family members. It would probably become quite tiresome.

Grisaille's avatar

Any family member.

“uh, I’m trying to get my freak on. can you go, you know, occupy yourself with your ectoplasma in the other direction?”

Ansible1's avatar

Steve Irwin, Croike!

shockrocks's avatar

@Grisaille hahaha! “your ectoplasma”... I feel so weird when I burst into laughter while sitting alone in front of a computer =/

ccrow's avatar

@shockrocks don’t feel weird, you have plenty of company

@RLMinVA haha…I was thinking the same but I didn’t want to date myself!

One of the nuns who taught me in grade school, used to rap our knuckles with her pointer and spray saliva when she yelled. I still have nightmares of the “Dear Sister” to this day.
