No I don't. Are you claiming otherwise?

Well...I'm not dull enough to think I can dissuade you of your obvious delusions. I'll just let the evidence speak for itself.

Infrared

"Images from infrared cameras tend to be monochrome because the cameras generally use an image sensor that does not distinguish different wavelengths of infrared radiation. Color image sensors require a complex construction to differentiate wavelengths, and color has less meaning outside of the normal visible spectrum because the differing wavelengths do not map uniformly into the system of color vision used by humans.

Sometimes these monochromatic images are displayed in pseudo-color, where changes in color are used rather than changes in intensity to display changes in the signal. This technique, called density slicing, is useful because although humans have much greater dynamic range in intensity detection than color overall, the ability to see fine intensity differences in bright areas is fairly limited."---https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermograp..._detectors

Yet the "ectoplasm" pictures look like they're dimly red lit through a blurry lens. While monochrome and false color infrared looks very sharp:

LOL! Now you're just making shit up. Admit it. You lost this one.
I don't know what there is that even could have been made up. But I know your beliefs are the one tenuous thread of significance you have, so don't let me upset your applecart.

I base my beliefs on evidence. There's not a thing tenuous about them.
Okay buddy, sure.

Yes they're not tenuous, just borrowed.

As are all beliefs..even the sciency ones.
