GHOST BIOLOGY page twelve
It is yet of unknown what the causes of the disease are or why cows seemed to follow the specter. Experiments and observations of specters have concluded that ghosts are also immune to most poisons and can remain under water for days at a time. during one incident (CODENAME: GHASTLY GAURDIAN) involving a particularly gruesome yet helpful spirit that alerted ally forces of a impending mustard gas attack, the ghost was observed aiding those who were left behind in getting to safety, Although those he was leading were inhibited by the gas the ghost appeared to be completely unaffected. Another incident (CODENAME: MATCH GIRL) involved the specter of a 8 year old girl standing amoung the flames and smoke of a burning building. witnesses say that the young girl remained in the flames and refused to leave even though many urged her to come to safety. Video evidence obtained from a security cameras at a supermarket across the street show that the girl remained in the blaze without showing any discomfort for the entire five hours it took firemen to extinguish the flames upon which she vanished. Pesticides and tear gas have no effect and submersibles have no garuntee of safety from a determined or extremely angry specter see incident no.50504321(CODENAME:HAUNTED SUBS) for details.
