Afterlife theology addresses the accumulation and processing of deceased consciousnesses. Yet a paranormal researcher named Dr. Geoffrey Thorn noticed an unusual trend in death statistics around 1980: the ratio of living persons to documented ghosts had shifted dramatically upward. Thorn theorized that either the dead were accumulating faster than spiritual systems could process them, or death events were occurring at rates exceeding standard mortality models. Thorn's investigation traced the acceleration to a single geographic region and temporal cluster—specifically, occurrences correlating with documented visitation records. Thorn's conclusion: 'Death hasn't changed. But someone is killing faster than Death can file paperwork. The afterlife has a processing backlog.' The paranormal subreddit spiraled: ghosts usually represent tragedy or unfinished business. But what if there are just too many? What if one person cleared out Death's schedule?
