    My concern in this type of movie is always, why don't they punch the ghost in the face.

      So Samantha's ghost is smart enough to recommend her sister as a babysitter, tell Kevin Bacon to "DIG," talk to little Jake about being dead and if it hurts, and she can tell Kevin not to be afraidetc etc etc. She is smart enough to do all that, but NOT smart enough to say or write "Hey, I am buried in the basement wall. Please help." Why do these idiotic ghosts leave cryptic clues when they can obviously converse in full conversations? This is a flaw in so so many movies, and it's what ruined Stir of Echoes.
      My impression is that the ghosts don't always realize that they're dead. They want help, but may not remember all the details of their death.

        too bad the word wasn't 'BASEMENT' instead of DIG
        I also figured at some point after there was no more grass left, it might have occurred to him to go back to his sister in law and try again for more info.

          Ghosts don't always realize they're dead? Do they realize they don't exist?

            dude if ghost do that most people will faint and run away ..
            and it is pretty hard to believe that kind of thing these days
            imagine if you encounter a ghost who tell his/her murder directly as soon as he/she meet you , wouldn't that scare you too?
            these ghost you called "idiotic"
            they are actually smart you know .. they used clues to make the living ones believe instead of scaring them away by telling them directly ..
            and please study about ghost and supernatural things
            do you remember that there is only a few people who can hear and see ghost? if the one that hear what the ghost say .. and inform it to police ..
            guess what the reaction is??~
            they laughed!
            because ..not everyone believe in ghost , if your friend or someone near you suddenly said that there is a body hidden on his/her house , would you believe it?
            i bet you don't
            see? simple as that .. if the ghost said directly no one would believe it
            and by the way ghost can't touch or write anything -__-
            ugh you are the one being an idiot here ..
            oh and please this is just a freaking movie!
            calm your ass

                It's pretty normal for the genre. If the ghost can come out and say it, then there isn't much of a movie.
                For me, if it's a ghost kills you, why not come back as a ghost and attack it. It can't do anything to you since you're on equal footing with it, and I'd say that kind of rage is a pretty good motivator to come back like they did.

                  Chet19 What does one hope to achieve by leaving the same comment in every thread concerning films with a particular flaw, as perceived by one? Seems like a might waste of time.

                    I hope to achieve a nice discussion about ghost/horror movies, to see if other fans are bothered by the same things as me, or to hear people give explanations or other opinions why they disagree with me.

                      Actually, there is a real life reason for why ghosts usually don't just write things. From what I gather from real life paranormal research, manipulating objects expends energy and ghosts can usually only move objects around in short bursts. It is very difficult for them to communicate with the living, so there you go.
