text: It's the year 2217 and the greatest historical discovery is made. The Past Time Observer. It's a simple VR setup connected to brand new patented technology that allows the user to project into the past. The limitation is that they can only observe. Every university with a history department gets one, and humanity starts correcting all the history books by going back in time and observing the actual events. For the first time in history(they know, they checked) humanity is able to verify every historical record. It was not long before some users of the PTO started noticing something strange. When asked a significant portion of them would report, "For some reason, the cats seem to stare right at me." It baffles the historians, but the physicists and psychologists are intrigued by this. It was physics that provided the answer first. A fluctuation in the low band coincides with reports of the strange behavior of the cats. Furthermore, instances where the low band fluctuations occur more severely coincide with locations rumored to be haunted. People are in a flurry! Haunted locations cause low band fluctuations! Fans of ghost hunting are quick to jump on the PTO bandwagon and science is left reeling YET AGAIN trying to explain correlation is not causation. Then it happened. A young researcher induces low band fluctuations while using the PTO to go to a time and place that had no paranormal activity. After returning he is startled to find that the location he visited is now on the list of locations that experienced paranormal activity. But he was sure he went to a place that didn't, or did he? It was only after the eighth location that he realized his visits were causing the paranormal activity. He was slightly altering history. Yet his proposal and warning were quelled by the community as a large, demanding proof. But how? A few more experiments and he discovers that he can increase the fluctuations and actually move things around. Back in the future, those 'haunting' appear on the 'poltergeist' list as well. But this is still not proof. How to prove it? It was his friend, that in sharing an old video from the past, brought to his attention the hubris of past society. Thousands of cameras recording events as mundane as playing a game. All he needed to do was get enough independent people to watch one of these videos, and then go back and alter it. His target, Rubzy playing Skyrim. It worked.
