Relative Something

Do you believe in ghosts? For me, the evidence presented, for the span of time which accounts have been reported, has all been pretty similar. None of it has ever really advanced the whole concept forward toward a more universal acceptance. And in an overwhelming majority of depictions, it is framed as a threat. I’m not buying that representation.

If I was lucky enough to be gifted by contact with a ghost, I would be thrilled. Why is fear the response most often dredged up to an opportunity to actually communicate with a spirit? Imagine what my reality show about investigating the paranormal would look like. It would be dark, spooky, and the image would be in that ghoulish night vision green. An apparition would seem to appear and I would become thrilled to see it and with no fear whatsoever, attempt to engage in conversation. Then nothing would happen. Oh well. Maybe that is why I don’t work in reality television.

There is a heck of a lot more excitement to be had if I panic and run, or even just hyperventilate in fear, isn’t there?

It seems to me that all of the drama related to interactions with ghosts, comes from the people that are alive, not the ghosts, themselves.
