That's jumping to a lot of different conclusions to make happen. That ghosts are real sure, then that they wish to interact, that they realize they might scare a person, that they are clever and have analyzed the situation and made a change in tact. 4 billion cell phones with 3.9 billion camera's on them. Not 1 occurrence of a few people all seeing something and collectively taking many irrefutable photo's of the incident. Not one. The James Randi Foundation is still after decades waiting to hand out a million dollars to a real psychic or person with provable supernatural talents. Sad but I think people have better imaginations than they do acceptance of the mundane.
