    I might be jaded but I can’t believe “Paranormal Activity” has the highest Rotten Tomatoes evaluation.

      You’re not. People just love that realistic/documentary style of ghosts and freaky stuff. I admit to watching the first two. The hubs says, “Hell no!” I think it’s funny but do enjoy it somewhat. But even I wouldn’t rate it that high. 🙂
