I love how on this board


(a) everyone is assuming that there is an extensive set of rules for what ghosts can and can't do, just what they're like or not like, and
(b) The Pact is necessarily following those rules.

I Spouse so...But the thinks the movie shows may go against the knowledge we have of ghost....

reply

Sure, it can be different than the way ghosts have behaved in other stories, accounts, etc., but so what? There are no rules for it and there's no reason any particular fiction would need to be following any rules even if there were rules.

The only knowledge we have about ghosts is that there's no real evidence that they exist.

reply

No I'm quite sure you're mistaken. "The Pact" is a documentary on ghost behaviorism and the film makers just got the facts wrong. They must have watched "Poltergeist" one too many times as kids.

The phrase, ?the knowlege we have about ghosts? tickles my funny bone.
