About layers pt. 3
Layers vary in thickness.
Imagine a piece of cloth, maybe an old linen sack or a piece of clothing you've been wearing for years. At places of regular friction, the fabric will be thinner and sometimes even see-through, before it rips.
It's the same with layers. Sometimes events happen that rub the weaving of reality at certain places. Depending on the event, those patches can be small as a pebble or as big as a house. And sometimes, they rip, like in the story of the forum user in my last post.
My friend from The Awakened Minds told me the following story:
"I had a client who was a manager at a construction business. Once they got a job to demolish the decrepit remnants of a psychiatric hospital. The workers all quickly agreed it was haunted: they would hear voices, equipment would get lost, and strange accidents happened. But construction workers can be a superstitious bunch, so the manager didn't pay it any mind. One morning the entire crew came back and claimed the house was gone. The tools, the machines, the scaffolding, all that was still there, only the building itself was gone. They were completely freaked out and refused to go back. Eventually, under threat of termination, the site supervisors agreed to take the manager, my client, to the place. Sure enough, the building was there. My client got angry for this waste of her time and fired the two men. Strangely, there was not a word of protest from them. They seemed to be almost glad. My client lost the job, but stayed up to date about the place even when another company took over to demolish the building. One day the entire building crew just vanished. That's when my client knew her workers had been right. She rehired the two supervisors she fired and they never spoke about the incident again. The place was simply closed off and left to rot."
Such "haunted houses" are in many cases places where the layers are extremely thin and life from the other side can shine through. Intense suffering usually wears the layers out a lot. That's why you have so many "ghost sightings" at hospitals, prisons, or long past battlefields. In cases like this, where an entire building slipped through, the stress on the layer must've been immense.
Mind you, that's not always the case, so if you think your house might be haunted, consult a specialist psychic for assurance.
