Koohii Story 1 Ghosts have not yet left the world, they must still have a deep fascination with their past life on Earth.
Koohii Story 2 Here the "Ghostbusters" founder talks about his fascination for ghosts (picture Dan Arkroyd in the movie if that helps). He says he has a fascination for ghosts ever since he saw one as a teenager. Since then he´s been scouring all of the world, trying to capture them on tape, on video... A journalist asks "When will it end ? Aren´t you tired of chasing ghosts ?" "Oh no, not yet ! Not until I become a ghost myself anyway !".
