"Exactly! Many haunts are never registered as such...though some prefer it that way. On the other hand, many attempted ghost hunters assign supernatural to the natural.

"Ah, so you noticed. Yes, that was me, ducking in for a moment to see the four of you. I always take a quick look over prospective hires. It gives me a better idea of character."
