Unsurprisingly, once we got everybody on the planet to carry around a camera *literally* at all times, we didn't have an equivalent rise in ghost pictures, nor did we have an increase in their quality.
It's certainly not impossible that they exist, but it seems like the more we are able to actively or even passively observe, the more we wind up... not seeing them, which definitely warrants a raised eyebrow.

I think that argument works better for the little green men. After all, everyone knows that ghosts interfere with electronics.

One argument for digital media over analog. At least digital media just tends to stop working when spooks are involved. Analog always feels the need to get in on the spooky.

I like the idea that if ghosts could interact with the real world there would be very few white men alive today.

The idea of 'space ghosts' (and not that Space Ghost) makes me think of ghosts being real, but them floating away from the Earth, because they are no longer bound by gravity. That's why there's not many ghosts hanging around, because they've all drifted up into space. And this has been happening not just for humans, but for all life, including species from other worlds, since the start of the universe. Endless tides of ghosts, hundreds of thousands of trillions, thronging in the darkness between the stars.
Need someone to run the numbers on that. If every living being that ever died emits one ghost, of equivalent volume to the organism itself, from its planet of origin, what does the ghost density of space look like? Somewhere between "all ghosts, all the time (at least nearby to a living planet)" and "statistical likelihood of intersecting with a ghost while traveling in space approaches zero".

While your point is taken, since this means ghosts would have always existed, I think the Mongols would get it before white guys did.
Of course, now I'm worried about Mongol ghosts riding ghost horses. Shit.

They don't kill you. They just curse you with fates worse than death.
Us whiteys lost our athletic ability and ability to enjoy good food, and just overall lameness.

I have made a joke about white people being bad at sports. I am both topical and hilarious. Inform the men.

It sovles the Fermi Paradox. We never have visits from species who can travel through space because whenever they try to go beyond lunar orbit they are devoured by a billion hungry ghosts.

Or three.
It's not Tycho, it's a stupid lying ghost.

That's why they should have had him without footprints! That's why he wants to throw Gabe off the trail, he doesn't want to get outted as a ghost.

Ha, you thought of the same comic I did. I went that extra mile though and did the archive dive.
