I agree with your reasons as well in adding to Hakan's validity -- that he seemed as surprised and at a loss to explain it himself. Not so self-assured as if trying to concoct an airtight story.

As for TVs, I feel they are a strong medium for spirit. But having said that, I suppose it is made more valid because I chose to believe it (as I see spirit in a terry cloth towel sometimes just as easily as anywhere). But, I once came across a website full of spirit photos that included this image that appeared upon the TV screen when the photographer photographed the TV showing Camilla and Charles' wedding.
