Everyone knows that if you're looking for somewhere haunted, there's no better place around Forks than the old Frazier house. Some kid axe murdered his parents there and then broke his neck trying to run from the cops. It's been abandoned ever since.

I wouldn't know if they went to seek out ghosts who haven't murdered anyone after they left. But yeah, lots of people believe in ghosts and just don't really do anything about it.

"Well, there haven't been any splashy media circuses that you wouldn't have gotten the news about, anyway. I guess individuals could be doing ghost related things for fun and profit in private all the time."

I think it's a mix of that and, a lot of times people just don't think about the implications. Which is probably a good thing. I guess my parents—again, more my mom specifically—talked while I was in the hospital about whether it would be better to kill me, if I'd be more likely to go to heaven that way, and they'd have a better chance of repenting of that than I would of being gay, or maybe if not then wouldn't it be noble of them to go to hell instead of me. So I guess it runs in the family, but most people don't take their religions that seriously in that way. So why shouldn't it be the same with ghosts?

I'd apologize for the fact that the ghost you ended up meeting is so messed up, but it's not like that's not correllated.
I guess I can apologize anyway. Sorry about that.

Correlated has one L. Cam decides not to mention this. He could say he expects he will one day broaden his dead people social circle. He does not really think he should say that either. Wow, not saying the first thing that pops into your head sucks, he feels like he's made of cardboard. "I am none the worse for wear," he says after what feels like way too long.

The ghost doesn't respond immediately, either.
I guess I should maybe look at it like, I have the power that I wanted, even if I shouldn't have, and now I might be able to use it to do some good. If we're lucky.

Well, at least w.r.t. the big thing, no one has ever succeeded at doing it before.

"You know, I don't think I can even think of anyone... obviously trying in a way that might work? I guess if they were especially bad at it I wouldn't have heard of it."

"Computers keep getting better. Uh, somebody flew a plane into the World Trade Center and we started a war in the Middle East about it."

"Yeah, that wasn't great. That was 2001, September 11. Uh - it's actually really hard to think in terms of what news there has been in the last several years, is there anything specific you were tracking?"
