Gadgets For the Ghosthunter
Zothecula sent us a sad story about the gadgetry scammers use to take money from people who believe in the pretend: "In a survey conducted by CBS News in 2005, it was found that 48 percent of Americans believed in ghosts. Other surveys have put the number at anywhere from around 20 to over 50 percent. While such figures certainly don't imply that ghosts are real, they do suggest that belief in them is relatively common. When someone does suspect that a ghost is present in their home or business, they will sometimes call in "experts" to ascertain if that is, in fact, the case... and what sort of gear do these ghost hunters use to detect said spirits?"
I mean, duh. How else will you detect ghosts? Also make sure you have your proton pack and trap, to catch them once you find them!

Apparently 48% of Americans would likely throw it over their shoulder.

Please, please, please learn the difference between Animate Dead (3rd level spell) and Resurrection (7th level spell).
IR camera's can detect heat flows but a heat flow that randomly appears lasts for 5 seconds and disappears is unusual.
I just had some beans. Give me an IR camera and I'll show you a randomly appearing heat flow. Might last longer than 5 seconds in some cases.
You might need to open a window when it appears though. Which would cause a - guess what? ANOTHER HEAT FLOW!
Only that one may not have the "aroma" of the ones I produce.
And you know what all those "haunted" places have in common?
Lots of holes (in walls, floors, door frames, ceilings...) and decomposing organic matter (wood, rugs, wallpaper, dead rodents in the walls...).

Tell me about it! Have you been hearing the crap those folk have been spouting lately? Quarks? Gluons? "Dark matter?"
;)
Next, they'll be telling us that reality is made up of a bunch of little strings tied in loops or some magical crap like that!
