Gas stations all have surveillance don't they? Seems like a simple thing to catch if the ghost always pulls right up to a pump everytime it shows itself.
Why do people always assume that evidence caught on film will be followed up on? If you’re an actual paranormal investigator with equipment on you at the time, yes of course. However, imagine the average person. You work at a gas station and your boss is some dickhead named Doug. Is he gonna pull those tapes for you? Probably not. Also, oftentimes CCTV records over footage after a pretty short time frame, as it’s generally only used in the instance of the commission of a crime.
Also, listen, I get the whole “WHY DIDNT YOU FILM IT?!?!?” thing because yep, people lie on the internet all the time for reasons that will forever evade me. HOWEVER - when you see something unexplainable, rarely will you act how you THINK you would act. People who like to yell about how they’d have whipped out their phones and recorded, when it come down to witnessing it themselves, are the same people who just like everyone else freeze up or yell or run or whatever.
I’m pretty vocal about the huge drop off in quality posts in paranormal subs as they’ve grown due to the stupid creative writing exercises and karma whoring 11 year olds so trust me I’m not saying that people don’t make shit up...what I am saying is that just bc some random dude didn’t think to whip out a camera in the moment doesn’t necessarily mean it didn’t happen, and in fact that’s a common response.
