Peekaboo

Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if we had one of those ghosthunt-y shows here.

Not that we ever would, or could. But... as a what-if.

Maybe they'd believe her after that. Or maybe we could safely debunk the whole setup of theirs as a fake. Depending on if they found signs of me or not.

It's always made me curious... the idea that I still might be leaving some sort of footprint in the physical world despite... my incapabilities.

It would be cool if we could see it actually proven with me. But it would also be really depressing if it didn't.

The question is, is it worth the repercussions to try?

I suppose it depends on what kinds of repercussions you're worried about. The ghost-hunting shows seem to be accepted as a fairly standard part of society now. She may get a little bit of grief for participating, but she could always say she wanted the money or the publicity.

There's also always the possibility of running your own experiments. Or of getting friends to help. I have a friend who's very good at designing experiments and has suddenly found himself fascinated with the supernatural. I could always put you in contact with him.

It's not her house for one. It's her mom's still. We just... happen to live there too. Not that we have a choice. Her mom would never go for it, I think. She doesn't believe I exist as it stands.

Before we ran our own experiments, we'd have to have friends who live nearby and actually think she/we're not crazy if we brought the possibility of me being around first. I don't know how likely that is, unfortunately.

It's like coming out, except with ghosts and involuntary home possession rather than sexuality or gender or something. Except this still is institutionalisable, I think.

If your friend knows something really discrete, maybe. But... I don't know.
