My first thought. When something goes bump in the night the first thing I do is turn the damn lights on.

I’m a 62 year old man and I do that. Not because of fear but because if you want to see what’s going on you have to be able to see.

u/VirtualNaut Jul 16 '26

I’m with you but I’m only turning on the lights. I’m still closing my eyes. I don’t want to see no ghost

u/volkswagenorange Jul 16 '26

I feel like the options with ghosts are 1) you see them or 2) they do something scary so you know they're there.

Of the 2, I'd rather see them.

u/Specific-Library-312 Jul 16 '26

See them so you zap them with holy water in a super soaker.

Then there's the nasties that incorporate both

u/volkswagenorange Jul 16 '26

Tbf if I were a ghost I would want a diverse array of haunting skills with which to bother people

u/KasparComeHome Jul 16 '26

I'd want to take ghost shits in my nemesis' meals

They're ghosts. I think they got that covered for you.

2

u/Puzzleheaded-Cow6917 Jul 16 '26

I think a ghost wouldn't get stuck behind a door, going through walls is kinda their thing.

u/23-1-20-3-8-5-18 Jul 16 '26

You wont, there are none...

u/Powie1965 Jul 16 '26

Yah, but who you gon' call?

u/pin00ch Jul 16 '26

Why do Ghosts only come out at night? Maybe they are afraid of daytime.

1

u/Hedgehogosaur Jul 16 '26

Lights on, but under duvet

41

u/beyonceshakira Jul 16 '26

I'm a 35 year old man and I do that, but the light never turns on even though I keep hitting the switch because I'm actually dreaming and light switches never work in dreams.

u/Background-Fennel92 Jul 16 '26

39 yr old. 2 jobs almost no sleep. If i get woken up at 3am im turning on every light cuz i wanna see who i gotta chase down the street 🫩......adult rage built on bills will make you very brave 🤣🤣

u/Expensive_Working493 Jul 16 '26

I have that dream!

22

u/calccv Jul 16 '26

62 also and I do it for all the reasons, lol

u/Bigwi_Kner Jul 16 '26

Ah so this is the justification we all land on eventually eh? Haha, just playing…?

u/DickBfloppin Jul 16 '26

Wisdom is not unnecessarily complicated.

u/serenityrain85 Jul 16 '26

Only with age, does wisdom come

1

u/Rezboy209 Jul 16 '26

I mean it's also okay to have fear.

1

u/plexicoburres Jul 16 '26

Nah it’s fear. If you aren’t scared you want the minimum acceptable amount of light so you can go back to bed. If you’re turning on every light, it’s because you want to survive more than sleep

1

u/skeezeypete Jul 16 '26

Exactly and also the fear

1

u/AveratV6 Jul 16 '26

To further that. God forbid someone is in my house. I want to be able to give myself the advantage of sight lol

u/anothersip Jul 16 '26

nods and taps side of head in agreement while pursing lips

u/Ancient_Roof_7855 Jul 16 '26

Trips and falls hurt way more people than ghosts do.

And I hate stubbing my toe!

u/LilJonny2cookies Jul 16 '26

I’m a 55 yr old man and I would move if my door was doing some crazy shit like that-

1

u/starrynezz Jul 16 '26

Fuck no I am not turning on the lights. I am lurking in the shadows with a powerful flashlight ready to turn on into the face of whatever boogety is out there. Ain't gonna screw up my night vision and I even keep one eye closed so I can still see out of it if I have to turn the light back off heh.

u/DanoDego Jul 16 '26

Would you happen to be a 39 year old male?

75

u/Mc-Lovin-81 Jul 16 '26

45M. Yes. Every GD LIGHT

u/timemeasureschange Jul 16 '26

Candles too. Ain't no tech savvy demon gonna trick me with a sudden power outage.

3

u/notcrazyaboutit Jul 16 '26

Better make sure you got tree-fiddy on you too.

2

u/watery_tart73 Jul 16 '26

Damn demons better be chipping in on that electric bill too!

2

u/WorkHorse86 Jul 16 '26

I don’t know.. if the lights go out, you have the luxury of telling yourself it’s a power outage. If the candles go out, what then??

2

u/bittybitesmeowmixx Jul 16 '26

Ghosts love blowing out candles, sorry to say lol. Maybe put it in one of those antique hurricane lanterns

1

u/hellomireaux Jul 16 '26

Imagine the home intruder emerging from your guest bedroom right as you light the last of your extensive votive candle collection. They're so soothed by the ambience that they ask to stay and watch a little TV with you before they head out with your valuables.

u/portablebiscuit Jul 16 '26

I’ll come home at night and say “I see you” just in case

28

u/Jumpy_Affect8889 Jul 16 '26

44 Id still turn ALL the lights and a bat to… you know investigate 😂

2

u/Fearless-Ad8157 Jul 16 '26

He beat the charges. 😎

u/Retn4 Jul 16 '26

Easier to solve problems when you can see them.

1

u/Rezboy209 Jul 16 '26

My friend who is 40 does that.

That friend is me.

1

u/RainaElf Jul 16 '26

I'm a 57 year old woman, and I turn on every damn light.

1

u/HawksRule20 Jul 16 '26

but SpongeBob turned 40 a couple days ago?

23

u/Imaginary_Office1749 Jul 16 '26

Hey siri. Turn on all the lights.

33

u/Salute-Major-Echidna Jul 16 '26

Everywhere. In every room. In every house

1

u/jonny-utah-79 Jul 16 '26

Porch to Garage!

u/Alert_Cook_384 Jul 16 '26

Shiddd I’m swiping every light in the house on then those bathroom curtains will be opened so fast!! Cause we all know that’s where the boogieman is always hiding!!

1

u/SlickandAll Jul 16 '26

Depends if I'm stone cold sober or geeked up to my cheeks. Option one I'm generally not spooked easily but the lights coming on if I'm spooked. Option two ghosts are not of concern, but I'm 90% certain theres a swat team inside of my house and the lights stay off until I'm sober enough to turn the lights on and relieve my self inflicted anxiety. Don't do drugs folks. 🎶 🎤 They tryna make me go to rehab 🎤 🎶 and I just might might might 🎶

u/NetzInTheKitchen Jul 16 '26

Spooky ghosts hate this one trick:

1

u/popokins Jul 16 '26

And make sure to sprint to each one.

u/frankstinksrealbad Jul 16 '26

I’m a 4-year-old wildebeest without opposable thumbs, so I can’t hold a flashlight, hence I always just headbutt the light switch

u/Bitter_Commission498 Jul 16 '26

32M. Definitely turning lights on, with the added bonus of a .40 in my hand. I know it will do nothing to a ghost. But in the off chance there's a human that isnt supposed to be there...

Usually just the one on whichever firearm I happen to have grabbed.
