And they shall be unto you cities for refuge from the avenger; that the manslayer die not, until he stand before the congregation in judgment (Numbers 35:12, KJV).
A guide leads two men through an area known as the Zone to find a room that grants wishes (Plot Summery for "Stalker" [1979] Soviet sci-fi art film on Internet Movie Database [IMDb]).
The crime-laden words 'manslayer' and 'stalker' both have connotations about obsession, predatory behaviors, and malicious mischief.
However, 'stalker' or any synonym thereof is never used in the Bible, even though there are plenty of references in the Bible about pedestrian consciousness and walking or roaming around (e.g., Joseph, Paul, etc.). Instead, we get idea-laden inferential concepts such as 'glutton,' 'thief,' and 'deceiver.'
We can argue from modern-day art (two sample American horror film ghouls) that Michael Myers (the fictional masked serial killer who skulks around on Halloween Eve) is a stalker, while Leatherface (the fictional chainsaw-wielding cannibal) is a manslayer.
I bring up this consideration about 'communicating spiritualism,' since I was first made curious about 'anachronistic soothsaying' from the Martin Scorsese film The Color of Money in which the main character Eddie suggests, "The Bible talks about wine and such but not about hard drugs...these days, kids do hard drugs [making me wary of the 'street-scene']; the Bible never said anything about methamphetamines!!"
In evaluating how spiritualism is communicated in the modern age of tech-gauged networking (i.e., email, Facebook, etc.), we could ask, "What does the Bible suggest about the development of tools and the evolution of language?"
Such analysis could enhance our discussions about how Creationism seems 'outmoded' when contoured with modern theories about Evolution.
====
MICHAEL MYERS: The Biblical 'manslayer' is the great 'Red Dragon' novelist Thomas Harris presented.
LEATHERFACE: Chainsaw!!!
MICHAEL MYERS: No, Leatherface, not a chainsaw (necessarily) but a dagger!
LEATHERFACE: Modern times!
MICHAEL MYERS: We should watch a Charlie Chaplin film together sometime.
LEATHERFACE: DVD!!!
