Lore:

Haunted Houses

There are many haunted houses around the world and cases exist in every type of home, whether it be a decaying European feudal castle or a suburban house, the effects are usually the same. Ostensibly it may be populated by ghosts, ghouls, witches, poltergeists, or even demons. Many people report physical changes in haunted places, especially a feeling of a presence accompanied by a temperature drop and hearing unaccountable sounds. Since a poltergeist may be the cause of a haunted house, they share many of the same traits such as unaccountable noises and objects moving with no visible means of locomotion. The key feature of a haunted house, however, is the presence of one or more ghosts, often due to a murder or other tragic death having occurred on the property, or to an owner of the house elsewhere, at some time in the past.

Poltergeists

A poltergeist is a type of uncontrolled psychokinesis, that is widely believed to be an invisible ghost that interacts with others by moving and influencing inanimate objects. The earliest accounts of poltergeist activity go all the way back to ancient Egypt! There are many poltergeist activities: sounds of thumps, knocks, and footsteps, objects being thrown around the room or furniture being moved, a bed shaking, and in some cases a person is even known to levitate! Some poltergeists tend to occur around a single person, often called an agent or a focus.

Palm Readers/ Psychics

Sensitive to the “aura” of a person, psychics are able to access information from the emotional, physical and spiritual parts of the auric field which contains all the information about a person’s life. Psychics use their natural gift to be aware of body language, facial expression, etc. and from that they can compute potential events and make plausible predictions. Able to “sense” on a purely material level, psychics are not able to “tune in to the spirit world, except by accident. All mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums. They use tarot cards, runes, palmistry, etc. as tools.

Hoodoo

Based on elements of Voodoo, Appalachian folk magic, and related traditions, Hoodoo is a 200-year old practice of magic. A gris-gris bag is a type of Hoodoo charm.

Quotes:

Missouri: Sam, oh honey. I'm sorry about your girlfriend. And your father...he's missing.
Sam: How'd you know all that?
Missouri: Well, you were just thinking it, just now.
Dean: Where is he? Is he okay?
Missouri: I don't know.
Dean: Don't know? Your supposed to be a psychic, right?
Missouri: Boy, you see me sawing some boney tramp in half! You think I'm a magician. I may be able to read thoughts and sense energies in a room but I can't pull facts out of thin air.

Missouri: Don't worry about a thing, your wife's crazy about you. (client leaves) Whoo, poor b*****d. His woman is cold-banging the gardener.
Dean: Why didn't you tell him?
Missouri: People don't come here for the truth, they come for good news.

Dean: Just slow down would ya. I mean first you tell me that you've got the Shining, and then you tell me that I've got to go back home, especially when...
Sam: When what?
Dean: When I swore to myself that I would never go back there.

Dean: (to his Dad's voicemail) Dad, I know I've left messages before. I don't even know if you get 'em. But I'm with Sam and we're in Lawrence and there's something in our old house. I don't know if it's the thing that killed Mom or not...but...(tears up) I don't know what to do. So whatever you're doing, if you could get here...please. I need your help, Dad.

Dean: Listen, Jenny, it's important, Ow!
(Missouri hits him on the back of the head)
Missouri: Give the poor girl a break, can't you see she's upset. (to Jenny) forgive this boy - he means well, he's just not the sharpest tool in the shed.

Missouri: You sensed it was here, didn't you? Even when I couldn't.
Sam: What's happening to me?
Missouri: I know I should have all the answers but...I don't know.

Missouri: Don’t worry – Dean’s going to clean up this mess. Well what are you waiting for, boy. Grab the mop. (Dean glares silently) And don’t cuss at me!

Missouri: Is that an EMF?
Dean: Yeah.
Missouri: Amateur.

Missouri: Boy, you put your foot on my coffee table, I'm going to whack you with a spoon.
Dean: I didn't do anything.
Missouri: You were thinking about it.

Sarry: I wasn't dreaming. It came to my bedroom and it was on fire!

Missouri: You two have grown up handsome. (looks at Dean) And you were a goofy looking kid, too.
