Topic: Personal Thoughts and Opinions
I’ve been thinking about ghosts for a while and I have had a weird thought about them: ’What if we get stuck doing the pose we die in when we become a ghost?’.
For example, there is a ghost called suster ngesot, which is a popular legend in Indonesia where a person died after being sexually harassed. Soon after dying, she turned into a ghost who wears a nurse’s uniform and drags herself on the floor, sliding instead of walking or running. The ghost slides because she died while she was sitting on the floor.
Thus, an idea came over me. What if I die doing a backflip and hit my head on something while I’m in the middle position in the image? If I died in that position and neither Heaven nor Hell would accepted me, would it mean that I would turn into a ghost who basically weeps everywhere in an upside down meditation position while flying?
Since the suster ngesot is known as the sliding nurse because of her last living position, then would I be known as the Backflip Ghost?
