Not to scare you, bbbut there's *gulp* ...there's a Skelton INSIDE YOU AAAAAAAAAAAA

I think, personally, it is because Skeletons are a literal corpse that has decomposed to the point that its just the bare framework of what was once a human, and is a reminder of our mortality, i.e. Momento Mori.


Or maybe its because of the song 'spooky scary skeletons', I 'unno.

 

[WE'RE ALL GONNA]

Cuz ghosts are gay and fake.

Get off the QA board and get back to the Kiwilocke you fucking dissapointment

Skeletons are real (unless you're an octopus - yes, Google Image that!). Ghosts aren't.

 

[The Luigi Player]

ghosts: you can't fuck them
skeletons: you can fuck them

Spoiler: IN-Sanity

the internet however portrays ghosts as "more fuckable", which results in skeletons being more tame to the sane eye.

Atheists.

 

[Stabmaster Arson II]

Because ghosts have no body.

 

[Doc Cassidy]

Fuckin del with it fagot!!!

What does a ghost even look like?

They're either the dumb sheet-on-head version or just a transparent version of a normal person. You can't really do much with that.

 

[Moths]

Ghosts are op fucks that can go through walls

Skellingtons still obey physics somewhat

 

[hotcheetospuffs]

Ghosts are fat. Skeletons are thin.

To add to this, ghosts don't really have a "concrete" design. Formless white blobs, generic movie monster, recently deceased. Stuff like that.
The shape of the human skeleton is the same across cultures, so I believe it's easier for it to take hold.

Easily obviously:

For me it’s the mystique. I’ve never seen a real human skeleton in person, but I have seen a ghost.

Ghosts are assholes that have potential to be really shitty and curse you with poltergeist activity or demon posession shit or something, , skeletons are bros without skin. There's also a guarantee of what a skeleton is gonna look like if you mention a skeleton, a ghost can range from some dumbass in a sheet or literally just a normal person but clear and glowy, to unknowable dead beings that drive anyone who witnesses them mad.It's cool there's so much variance, there's even some ghosts that are skeletons, but at the end of the day Skeletons are superior because they're fucking skeletons and you're gonna know what a skeleton is when you see it.

Because everyone has skeletons in their closets, duh.
