This is the Modem World: So where are all the ghosts and aliens?

This is the Modem World: So where are all the ghosts and aliens?

Each week Joshua Fruhlinger contributes This is the Modem World, a column dedicated to exploring the culture of consumer technology. I love movies and books about ghosts and aliens, especially the older ones from an era when technology didn't allow too many special effects. For me, it's what you don't see that freaks me out. Scariest scene ever? George C. Scott, center of frame, approaches a staircase in 1980's "The Changeling." You see him from a landing above, a voyeuristic angle with wooden rail near field. Focus shifts to his eyes. As he walks to the stairs, they lock onto something halfway up. They widen. He sees something.
