Oh, she call spell just fine. Actually, she's a better linguist than me, most of the time. She just gets 'chat lazy' and shortens all of her words when IMing.

She also has not been able to find a video that met my qualifications. Which disappoints me, actually.

It's funny, in a sad way... I really, really, want somebody to step-up and metaphorically put parapsychology on the map. It's just a very entertaining and exciting field, in my opinion. If only it weren't all a pile of bullshit.

As a result, I'm actually sort of 'extra critical' of it, and pretty harsh when it comes to the video, photographic and testimonial evidence they provide (...the only evidence they can, because they're in the same boat as theists here. The alleged phenomena they 'investigate' has no physical component that they can examine or sample to use as hard evidence). I mean, look at that parking garage footage in Exhibit A. That's just so fucking cool. But as evidence, it's totally worthless, because we have one shot from one angle from one camera, in a static environment, which means it is far too easily edited.

I occassionally feel like trying to set-up a SETI-like organization, but intended for trying to record high-fidelity ghost activity - except, of course, that SETI always had plenty of merit (we know other worlds exist, we know life exists on at least one such planet, it's therefore plausible to hypothesize that other life exists on other planets) whereas any such endeavor tied to trying to seek-out apparitions would be largely baseless (there is no plausible reason for hypothesizing that ghosts exist anywhere). Still, if I ever have the extra capital at my disposal, I'm investing in some high-res camcorders and will happily go waste my time 'spook hunting', until I either do the incredible or become bored as the novelty wears off.
