Do you believe in ghosts? Paranormal stuff?

If I had things like that happen to me, I'd rig the house with automated surveillance equipment to catch something. It would be a scientific revolution that would change the world, it would be all I could think about. And yet for some reason people who claim to see these things happen just seem to go on with their lives and shrug their shoulders at the whole thing, that doesn't make sense.

Well, I can only speak for myself, but I didn't even think about that until it was nearly through. The other people living with me were convinced, but I thought it was ridiculous. By the time I was on board, it was only a few days and it was gone. Also, I'm just a regular guy. I'm not some sort of paranormal investigator. So my life was not spent, trying to think about how I can gather evidence. 

Heck, even if I had gotten evidence, this would have been the first time I would have even thought about sharing it because really, what's it going to change? Video can be doctored so skeptics would just laugh it off. I know I would have before all this. And you probably would have as well. 

So it just stopped and never happened again? Hmm.

I guess you have a point about not being believed even with video evidence. How would one even get real scientists involved, there's no such field in universities as paranormal studies, is there? I've seen a movie or two where scientist come along and establish a field lab at the site with top of the line equipment and all that, but what would it take for that to happen, I wonder. The phenomenon should be constantly repeatable, observable by anyone and completely inexplicable, at the very least.
