If a ghost opens an account on Fluther, would we know?
Boo!
In case this happens, is it even possible for us to detect this kind of web haunting? Would this ghost, based on his or her answers, unintentionally give us a hint that something strange is happening in our midst?

Would we be able to see the account? Is this a suggestion that you’re a ghost?
I left an invisible message ^.
@zen I’m sprinkling Holy Water on my screen right now…
It’s a ghost, not dracula.
Well, I’m assuming it’s a malevolent ghost possessing a computer, hence the act of exorcism.

Well, something’s got to work!
Gadzooks! I’ve been discovered!
Well I think a few are heavily into their spirits, vodka, whiskey, gin…...
Possibly. Depends on the ghost.
Yes, we would see right through him.
A ghost, in order to register, would still have an IP address, based on what machine it’s using. But that’s by being logical…to bring out the true nature of a haunting, as defined by popular ghost tradition ever since the middle ages…this strange account would have no focal point to find. Like a car without a driver, a ghost ship, or doors being opened on their own. No IP address to be seen, or an account that no mods or staff member could delete, no matter what they do…
As to what this ghost would say…we’d probably hardly notice that it was a specter, based on how fucked everyone here already is. :D
Can you see me now? Good.
The only place I know where there could be ghost IP accounts is under the Orange Tree. Or rather, in the Orange Tree. I’ve felt the ghosts at times when the tesseract opens. But as far as I know, not one has tried to establish fluther accounts yet. I think I would have felt that if it had happened.
Well, seeing as poltergeists frequently register as machine terrors, we should’ve had at least 10 or 12 fluther ghosts by this point.
I basically assume a large portion of people might as well be walking dead anyway, so a ghost isn’t much of a stretch.
@Symbeline Have you ghostbusted it yet?! We are all counting on you.
The frizzer just levitated!!!
Oh I’ve ghostbusted it alright…^^
Meanie. I’m just a lonely little ghost, trying to find the means to transcend into the next world.
Come now, you can’t speak to the dead this way. I won’t have it ol’ chap! I just won’t have it! Some manners now, hmm?
I used to be a foreman at some factory. Now I’m just this dead guy.
