"This might make a very powerful tool for understanding this phenomenon and the possible scientific causes"

Ah, a classic case of presuming ones premises. Before we can examine the scientific reasons behind a phenomena one must first establish that it exists in the first place. If you skip the first part you aren't doing science but pure, unfounded speculation.

I'm a bit more biased than normal on this because I work in a local photolab, and we USED to have a darkroom and the like, but we had to get rid of it all and go completely digital. I have no problem with digital really (cept it eventually shutting us down) but I miss all the other stuff =(. Guess that's another reason why I liked the original so much.

Karen was awed, and asked if some of us could go with her because she was scared. Another idiot agreed to not only drive her, but lend her some money. When I laughed at the idea Karen actually got ANGRY with me for not believing. I calmly explained that the information the "psychic" used could have come from her fathers obituary (Where he worked, the name of his also dead wife, the names of her siblings) and if this was a particularly scummy "psychic", talking with mourners at his wake. Karen eventually "saw the light", but still refused to report the psychic to the police.

Believe me when I say these people are slime, and so good in their craft that they can charm the clothing right off your back.

Personally, I think it would be much more interesting to develop a feature film of the Are you Afraid of the Dark episode of the kid whose evil camera caused disasters.

On the other hand, so is John Edwards, and his loathesome clones that infest every city. They all seem to do a good business, and people would probably get mad if they were all shut down for fraud.

I expect the 'Mediums' bolk people out of a lot more money that this viral campaign will.

Because only Japan has scary blackdrippyhairedwomen, who move in stuttering motions and haunt you, yes?

One Missed Call was totally unnecessary (removing the distinctly Miike-ish elements of the original left a shallow shell of the original), and now this is just sad.

Playing up the "scientific" aspect of the spirit photography is an I think misguided attempt to change "ghosts" from a thing that scares the second category of people to a thing that scares the first category of people.

Horror movie makers often do dumb shit like this. I am compiling a thesis on the nature of horror, prompted entirely by such idiocies.

35 Megapixel is so passe. Check out the camera that a friend of mine works with at a Hawaiian observatory - 340 megapixel. You can see god's entire evolutionary lineage with it. :-)

"The public is very interested in this subject and I wanted to check with you and see if you might be interested in hearing more about this?"

They think they sound utterly sincere, but anyone who's been on Earth for more than a decade can smell that bullshit a mile away.

Though it is a scientific fact that once you get up to 23 megapixels, you can actually photograph God. At 25 megapixels, you can photograph through her shirt.
