Ghost Detector

Watching a kids' ghost movie with TheBigE:

Main character goes into a creepy old house alone.

Mom: I bet the ghosts are going to come and get her now (bwahhaahaaa)!

TheBigE: I don't think so mom.

Mom: What do you mean??? Scary house, spooky music, little girl all alone wandering around...the ghost has to come now.

TheBigE: Well...the front door stayed open. In scary movies the bad stuff usually happens after the front door slams shut by ghost power or something.

On screen, an unseen cat makes a hideous screeching sound. Our hero gets scared and runs outside.

TheBigE: See, it was only a cat. And the front door is still open.
