In a 2005 Gallup poll found that 37% of Americans believe in haunted houses and nearly half believe in ghost.

() “Paranormal Investigators” or actors that claim they see ghosts, have no real evidence of the paranormal, and the only evidence they have could easily be debunked by science. The “glowing orbs” are just the reflections of dust particles, extra fine hairs, reflection of light off of a dirty/wet camera lens, etc. Also, when paranormal investigators get a sudden feeling of chilly weather entering the room that they are in, there most likely is a hole in the walls, window open, door open, or any type of opening in the house that cold air can enter. The camera lens picking up extra fine hairs or dust, and the sudden change in temperature have been considered proof that the paranormal exists, but due to studies made by scientists, these facts have been proven

As Robin begins his next nightly patrol, he has a brief self-monologue. In this speech, Robin once more notes how ghosts, “following darkness like a dream, / Now are frolic” (5.2.403-404).
