This is actually a very true thing. Most people who have the "fight" reaction don't go to haunts.

Psychologically either you're okay giving up control, or you're not okay with it. As a haunter you really need to be aware of 3 primary groups of people.

1.) People who willingly cede control, they will likely remain docile and posses a 'flight' instinct.

2.) People who willingly cede control for the express purpose of fighting back. These people likely get tossed from most haunts quickly as they'll be very aggressive in their reactions. Pushing back at the slightest touch.. etc... They're looking for a fight, but they're unlikely to be truly dangerous.

3.) People who are adverse to ceding control. These people don't like 'haunts' probably don't go to them, and if they do it's likely they were coerced by someone else. These people can be very unpredictable, they may have a 'flight' instinct. But they might have that pure adrenaline 'fight' instinct. The one that makes them go from cowering in fear to beating people to death with their bare hands in a literal moment.

The truth is that third group of people, they probably aren't going to sign up for any kind of extreme haunt, and the vetting process especially the interviews will likely expose them.

It's probably a psychological thing as well. The people who would be drawn towards seeking out/participating in this kind of thing have a willingness to cede control. That's your major risk group. The second group is people who aren't drawn towards this as an interest, but rather for the purpose of trying to fight back, this group isn't likely to cause much harm as they'd be removed long before they could get violent enough. The third group is people who refuse to willingly cede control, this is the group most likely to exhibit an "adrenaline based" fight instinct. These are the people who would truly be dangerous, the ones who would seemingly have a fear reaction until they suddenly went 0-100 in a moment. These people just aren't very likely to seek out or participate in this kind of activity.

A small irritation is common, but people who get "reactions" generally have larger issues.. One mosquito bite for me can give me hives all over the limb that it occurred on and can itch so bad I can't sleep without medication and before I was diagnosed would have me scratching myself to bleeding. Now a couple prescription allergy pills will save me a vast majority of the discomfort if I want to be Outside for like the 4th of July or something.

After reading your replies…

Do you believe it’s appropriate to consider Belle as a memorial to Chai?

Do you feel it unjust that you consider and treat your new cat, which is a distinctly different and unique life of its own as nothing more than a fabricated piece of property created to honor the life of your previous cat rather than it’s own existence?

What is best in life?
