    Actually, what happens is that the little pixies inside the film cameras that do the drawings are well bred, fit and healthy.

    However, the little pixies inside mobile phone cameras have their little brains fried by the radio signals and this makes them see weird things, like ghosts. So when they draw the digital image, they include these visions.

    So that's why the web has pictures of ghosts now but didn't before.
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

            I don't believe that ghosts exist as consciouse entities - maybe they are simply distored sounds and images which are displaced in space and time which appear to give the illusion of some deliberate haunting.

            I've never seen a ghost or heard strange noises or anything like that but once I was in a Wagamama's type restaurant and my small bowl of miso soup just slid to one side all by itself - I was shocked by this and started to experiment there and then trying to figure out if the table was slightly sloped, was the liquid soup moving at the time thus somehow moving the bowl (i.e. me moving the liquid or convection currents) finally I thought maybe I had developed telekenetic powers but sadly I realised that I hadn't and I was not going to be a superhero of any sort.

                ISTR that there's a theory that these supernatural phenomena are actually recordings of past events being played out on some kind of ethereal videotape. There was a TV drama about this made back in the 70s by Nigel Kneale (of Quatermass fame). can't remember what it was called but it scared the hell out of me when I was a kid.
