Billy Corgan Claims He Saw A Human Supernaturally Transform Before His Very Eyes
Mariah Carey is to Christmas what Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan is to Halloween. I mean, it’s right there in the name of his band! Billy’s into spooky shit. He used to pal around with Marilyn Manson, his shiny knob of a head looks like an actual skeleton head (ok, skull, whatever! It’s Friday, cut me some slack) and he used to fuck with Tila Tequila! I think it would be safe to say he’s hard to scare. However, Entertainment Weekly reports that Billy was once creeped out to his core by some supernatural shit he once witnessed.
According to EW:
During Monday’s Howard Stern Show, the Smashing Pumpkins frontman revealed that he once saw a person change into … something else right in front of his eyes.
“Let’s just say I was with somebody once and I saw a transformation that I can’t explain,” he said. “Imagine you’re doing something and suddenly you turn around and there’s somebody else standing there.”
Ok, I’m picturing it. Hmm, not really getting the chills I was promised, Billy. That type of shit happens to me all the time. I call it “turning around”. Care to elaborate on what made it so damn unnerving?
Besides promising that he was sober, Corgan declined to go into much detail, which is consistent with how little the unnamed person would say to him. “They wouldn’t explain,” Corgan continued. “It’s up there with one of the most intense things I’ve ever been through.”
I am… underwhelmed. I was hoping for a full chorus of Werewolf Bar Mitzvah and all I got was a really shitty cover of The Monster Mash. We all experience uncanny events from time to time and I’m sure whatever Billy’s on about was something he felt was not quite right. But if you’re gonna tell a ghost story, embellish it a little. Give the person who suddenly “transformed” the face of your dead uncle. Say he spoke in tongues and told you that your mom sucks cocks in hell. Or say that it was accompanied by a stiff breeze that smelled of freshly turned soil and day-old Chipotle. Otherwise it’s just you being a big weirdo for no reason. Billy, please turn in all your Halloween ambassador badges and give them to Roseanne and Dan Connor. Now they did Halloween right!
