About Church of the Undead

Hello, Weirdos – I’m Pastor Darren – welcome to the Church of the Undead. It doesn’t matter if you are a "Weirdo-in-Christ" or just a Weirdo – everyone is welcome here at the Church of the Undead. And I use the word “undead” because here we are DEAD to sin and ALIVE in Christ! If you want to join this Weirdo congregation, just click that SUBSCRIBE or FOLLOW button – and visit us online at WeirdDarkness.com/CHURCH (https://weirddarkness.com/church). Full disclosure – I might use the term “pastor” because I’ve branded this podcast as a church – but I do not have a theology degree, nor did I ever go to Bible college. I’m just a guy who gave his life to Christ in 1989 and has tried to “walk the walk” every since – and has stumbled a lot along the way – because, like everybody else, I am an imperfect, heavily-flawed human being. So please don’t take what I say as gospel; dig into God’s word yourself for confirmation, inspiration, and revelation. That being said, welcome to the Church of the Undead!

[…] The face of your conjugal companion-to-be will be seen in the glass, as if peeping over your shoulder. Obviously, Robert Burns didn't care if his poems rhymed. Printers were putting it on Halloween postcards from the 1880s into the 1920s, A girl with a candle peering into a mirror and a man's face in the dark behind her. Burns didn't say anything about stairs. By the 1870s, though, the cellar version was common enough for a small-town newspaper to joke about it. It didn't always go the way the postcards promised. On November 7, 1872, the Terre Haute Evening Gazette in Indiana ran a story, picked up from another paper, about a young man who called at an acquaintance's house on Halloween and found several young ladies trying to peer into their futures through the looking glass.
