Ever see a ghost?

...looked like a monkey running behind the car...
Sounds like you may have been partaking of a little Ozark stump water at the time.
Seriously, some folks believe in "spirits from beyond", others don't. I'm not saying which is right and which is wrong, I just haven't had a firsthand experience to convince me either way. It always seems like the "paranormal events" on these TV shows still are not absolutely definitive. No one can ever get a good clear photo, a sharp video, or a crisp recording.

And another thing... why turn out the lights to do your investigation? It just makes it harder to see something happening or to take a photo. The people giving them examples of stuff they have seen in their hotel, house, battleship, etc. don't typically say, "Oh, yeah, it was pitch black when I saw the shadow." Duhhh...

Same goes for UFOs - never a close-up and clear photo, but that's another issue.
