I Don't Want Them Here

They are called "social tourists" here. They are the ones who come to a country, claiming to be in danger in their own country (and they are, but mostly because they have done something wrong there). We have plenty of them. If they come here, they are entitled to over 800 euros and free housing for doing nothing. They come here, claim to be children (under 18) but refuse DNA testing to find out if they really are under age. They are the ones who don't work, study or try, they just hang out in their expensive clothes. They drive better cars that most of the people who pay for their living. They cause "white flight", they insist different rights, they insist their culture being more valuable than our own.

It's not good.

I'm not a racist. I have bad experience. Many, many bad, two good. The two good are: One boy who was adopted here as a baby and one girl who is half korean, half russian and has lived here from since she was six. She was my best friend in high school. Both of them are doing well in their life. Neither has committed a crime. Both are working. The rest? Scum. The statistics speak for themselves: foreigners commit most crimes compared to their numbers in country. They don't do anything. They don't try to learn our language. They don't study. They don't let their kids learn our language. They are NOT TRYING. And we are paying because we have idiots like Astrid Thors who haven't lived a day with these people and lives in some kind of an utopia.

What about Islam? The religion is good, there's nothing wrong with it. It defends good values. The ones who take a religion and twist it to their sick minds are to blame. The only bad thing about islam is the way they treat women - even if it's only the things mentioned in Qur'an, not the sick part. I don't want islam here, because I'm a woman and I don't want a person suffer because they don't have a penis. Women have suffered plenty already and men are still to pay for past things. Oh, and what about the western men who turn to islam? They are the ones who beat women and can't keep one who wants to think for herself.

I don't want them here. I just don't. Someone tell me a country that doesn't accept social tourists and I'm going there. There's no reason for me to work my ass out and pay these ridiculous taxes and walk in Helsinki and see these people hanging at the metro station, doing nothing, in their expensive designer clothes with the money we pay for our kids to go to free schools, have free medical services...

Please note: I have nothing against the people who are willing to speak our language, work or study and live the way we do here.

Sunday

Ghosts! No, really! I swear!

I've been watching Ghost Hunters on SyFy (Why did they change it from SciFi?). For many days, I've been annoyed by some of the things they often use:

"We actually had an actual apparition" - The word "actually" just so annoys me. It's like I'm lying but I'm trying to assure you I'm not lying.

"To be honest.." It's never honest. Anyone who ever says "To be honest, I.." is so lying..

"Honestly, I.." am lying. Yes.

There is some good evidence, but I know a place that has real haunting, real apparitions. There is one place Ghost Hunters International should visit:

+66° 22' 32.24", +25° 22' 53.88"

The place used to be small inn, with seven rooms in a separate building. It's been closed for years now, but I know six people who have had experiences there, me being one of them. I've been there at night, after closing, before opening, seen the kitchens, cabinet, etc.

I think I have mentioned the place before, but I'm starting to be pretty sure that place is really haunted. It even has a good story. While the germans were moving to the north to burn Rovaniemi, they had a camp there. It's not known if the story is true or not, but supposedly they raped and killed people there; women, children, men.. 


I'll list everything I've heard or seen myself:



A singer, who had a gig there, was having a drink after the doors closed. She heard children yelling and crying. She went and asked my mother (whom she knew very well) that if her kids (me and my kid sisters) were still up. We often slept in one of the rooms if our mother had to work late and the rooms were free. We were sleeping at home that night. The same singer had a beer bottle threwn at her later that night. Only, there was no one to throw stuff at her.


My mother had closed up and was counting the bottles, when she saw something walk by her. She thought that the bartender had returned for something and asked him what he had forgotten. She got no answer, but a beer bottle at the counter exploded. The bar tender had left the premises the moment he had finished work, so my mother was alone there.


It was daytime when my older kid sister went to our mother and said: "There's a man in the cabinet". Mother got upset because I was supposed to open the doors in half an hour and she thought I'd let someone in. She went to find the man and ask him to go outside, but didn't find anyone. I was sitting in the reception and she came to give me a shout. I told her to go check the door and the door was locked.


My youngest sister sat in a chair and talked to someone who wasn't there.

The cook heard banging, as if someone had been shooting inside. He went to check and nobody there...


I went to the cabinet, I was supposed to do something I guess, but I felt so uneasy there, like really uneasy. I got scared and ran away. I never got the nerve to go to the cabinet alone.


There were two hotel rooms that got the chills running down my spine. Room 1 was the finest room, a little honeymoon suite feeling to it. One day I was changing the sheets (because I had to work there sometimes) and had my back turned to door. There was this guy, who worked at the hotel and he was supposed to help me. So, I felt a hand pushing my shoulder and I thought he had come. I talked to him and when got no answer, I looked to see if he had Walkman on or hadn't heard me, but there was no one there. I went to see him and found him setting up glasses at the pub. Room seven was even creepier. We were sleeping there at one point and I woke up having my covers pulled off me. My kid sisters were sleeping next to me, but they weren't moving or pulling the covers. That room was so creepy anyway, I always had to sensation of being not welcome there.


The pub was scary as hell. Even with lights on, I was so scared there. It felt very hostile. I was doing my homework there one time, when I was sure someone was standing at the counter. I raised my eyes, but nothing. Just this evil, hostile feeling.


The fireplace room was creepy too. Often the workers saw someone walking by the counter, from the sauna to the main hall. For me, that place had the less creeps.

Oh yeah, and one of the employees, a guy in his twenties, was scared of being there alone. He got fired and killed himself later by jumping to a river.



Bangs, wailing, crying, footsteps, exploding beer bottles, people, shadows.. that place had everything!



I was eleven at that time, my mother was violent towards me and I was troubled. Poltergeist anyone?


I so want to go back there and spend a few nights hopefully with equipment, like cameras and stuff. It's a shame it's such a long drive from where I live, ten or so hours :(


I think that with all these investigations, they should use a catalyst..Which would be better than a tormented child?
