  2. Ever watch the Ghosthunters show on Sy-Fy? It is interesting that the equipment used by the tv show don’t pick up the same things that the equipment used by the investigators picks up.

      1. Wow, check out Simberg getting all philisophical…

        “Why is the sky blue?”

        “Rayleigh scattering.”

        “I mean besides that.”

        “…(?)”

        1. That was really funny!

          But there’s an answer: work back through whichever causal chain strikes your fancy. For example, rayleigh scattering, sure, but it was the rise of cyanobacteria that generated oxygen that makes our sky blue and not some other color.

          Now, apply that to ghosts!

          1. I’m going to give it a whirl: why don’t they exist? Because ghosts are traveling faster than light, and yet they haunt their final _resting_ place. And that explains the problems with photography.

          2. “Why does my brain interpret a wavelength of four hundred and eighty nanometers –”

            “Because Jesus said so!”

            “…”

      2. What I’m saying is that all attempts to take pictures of ghosts are always lousy photography. It’s not like it’s a great picture of everything else, but the ghost is indistinct — you can’t make out anything in the pictures at all. It’s like Bigfoot and UFOs.

  5. If you can come back as a ghost, then this is how I would like to come back. Cue Beavis and Butthead laughing….

  6. “Why can’t anyone ever get a good picture of a ghost?”

    It’s tough to get ’em in the right spirit…

  9. Let’s not forget, though, that science and specifically the study of space has shown that things exist that we cannot perceive. Feel free to use your imaginations.
