According to a new book entitled Ghosts Caught on Film 2, a photograph taken in front of Jim Morrison’s tomb in Paris shows the ghost of Jim Morrison; you can tell it’s him be cause the ghost looks sexy and brooding.   Predictably, paranormal websites are treating this photo as proof of the existence of ghosts. Equally predictably, this raises my ire.

1)  The writer of Ghosts Caught on Film 2, Jim Eaton, claims that he’s a “Ghost Master.”  It’s one of those titles that is self proclaimed.  You know like, the decider.  I don’t think you can be considered to be an expert in something if your expertise was attained through your own proclamation.  But then again, if you can’t trust a Ghost Master, who can you trust?

2)  Every article I’ve seen regarding this supposed phenomenon says that “researchers” have determined the photo is real.  Not one article says who those “researchers” are.  I wonder if there was someone out there who would stand to gain from making people believe that “researchers” were credible and not in fact his/her unemployed uncle in Tampa… Oh wait, Jim Ghostface Master Eaton, writer of Ghosts Caught on Film 2.  I’m not implying that that Jim Eaton did use his uncle as a researcher, I have far too much journalistic integrity - if there is one thing I’m known for it’s my journalistic integrity (that and how humble I am), but you do the “researcher” math.

3)  Ghost experts claim that a ghost is a soul that has stayed behind on earth because they have unfinished business here.  What if I’m in the middle of making a roast beef sandwich and I have a brain aneurism, keel over and die?  I’m doomed to spend the rest of eternity trying to finish making my sandwich?  That’s stupid.
