Human goblin creature, Pat Robertson, is an adult who thinks that spirits can attach themselves to your old thrift shop purchases. No really, Pat Robertson thinks there are demons in your vintage band t-shirts.
While taking questions on the Christian Broadcast Network, Robertson was asked if clothes purchased at thrift shops could harbor evil spirits in them. Good question, Carrie. Turns out, Robertson read about this very thing in a Scary Stories To Tell In the Dark book. He responded.
"I heard a story in, I believe, the Philippines a person went to Thailand, there was a witch who had prayed over a particular ring. And asked for a spirit to come into it. Well this Philippine girl was so attached to this ring, she had to buy it and all hell broke loose until she finally recognized? So, can demonic spirits attach themselves to inanimate objects, the answer is yes. But I don't think every sweater you get from Goodwill has demons in it."
The joke's on you Robertson: MY SWEATER HAS BEEN DEAD FOR 20 YEARS.
