Who You Gonna Call???
#2
This kind of got me thinking about Thailand, and how their culture regards ghosts.

I mean, you say "ghost" in the U.S. and within a minute someone makes a "Ghostbusters" reference or invokes a meme to that effect.  But in other countries, even some very 'civilized' ones, you say "ghost" and people get serious (even if only a little.)  I expect Thailand is closer to the latter, than the former (although I've never been.)

From a purely capitalistic viewpoint the students are engaging in a genius enterprise.  Practically zero investment and a literally "captive" client-base.  The fact that it hasn't been done in the U.S. before is sort of surprising. 

This kind of thing was mostly monopolized by religious institutions in the western world... even the attempt to "engage" with a presumed errant spiritual entity was proscribed and or made to appear 'dangerous' in the public mind.

I wonder how successful they will be?

Cool stuff!  Thumbup
