If respectability is a criterion, then how can anything be soked? Being easily soked is not a sign of respectability. Also, someone respect the haunted web site, probably. And they may not be a lot nuttier than the people who religiously read and respect Social Text. Not that I have an opinion on that or anything. (I’ve only read one article from taht journal! …)

I peg “Haunted America” as being on par with moon landing hoax websites and Time Cube. *Of course* they believe the most outrageous nonsense, so it’s pretty much guaranteed they’ll love something about ghost erections written by a Guam-trained homeopath.
