I didn't get into a lot details with her. She claimed the spirit attacked her. She lives in an apartment. You just got an odd feeling about it all. I wished her luck. and left.

She could have mental problems, in which case you are obviously better off not getting involved, or she could be on the level, and hoping for evidence that she is not going nuts.
Unusual situation.

I'm there, dude.
In Philly we have tons of targets. They already have a "ghost tour".

Let's see.. years ago I photographed a strange.. something, in a mirror [no it wasn't me!] at the Winchester Mystery House.. on film. This was of course indoors in a haunted mansion. I had the film developed and went.. "Hmm.." but it was not conclusive of anything.
More recently I photographed an orb in Bachelor's Grove Cemetery. I like to photograph cemetery statuary.. This was digital, it was daytime, back to the sun in the middle of a hot summer. Again.. "Hmm" but it's not conclusive of anything.
Am I so arrogant to believe that we are all that there is and just meat so that when we die there is nothing else? No. I also don't necessarily feel that one needs to see it to believe it.. I've experienced a lot weirder in my life to know that isn't the case.
Nevertheless this was a great post, the responses kept me grinning and on the serious side of things I have actually run into a couple ghost hunter/photographers and they do have their techniques employed during the 'hunt'. Not that their science is necessarily correct.
I agree with Zauhar though "There is no reason to expect that ghosts, if they are real, need to obey the laws of optics to be "seen". There is a conscious observer in your head (that's you) which can form visual impressions that do not rely on the retina. The "ghost phenomenon" would be supported if multiple observers independently form the same sort of visual (or aural) impression, either simultaneously or separated in time, at some particular location, whether or not said impression could be recorded. "
I would take the assignment unpaid out of the interest of discovery as most true hunters do. Only the charlatans expect compensation.. this is something you do for the sake of science or enlightenment.. not to get rich quick. You could end up starving

I once met a couple of ghosts, or whatever they were, but didn't have a camera with me, unfortunately. I did have a witness with me, and we both got panicky and ran away -- so probably even if I had a camera...
You'll need a flash, if you meet 'them' in similar circumstances (the French atlantic coast, lee side of one of those bunkers there, at night, of course).

now, back to the business part:
you should take the job but as a fellow RFF member suggested you should charge for work hours not results.
secondly, get a film crew to document the whole process and make it into TV show!
(yes you must hire a sexy female co-host who will scream at nothing)
