This is the social and political context of paranormal shown by "google trends". it shows that when a paranormal film is released the interest increases at the same time but then decreases after the horror has been in cinemas for a while. in 2013 we see that the interest is still there but it is not as popular as other years. This is a main reason as to why we are choosing a Paranormal sub genre as there is still interest but it is not as high so there is a gap in the market for our horror to fill and increase the popularity of paranormal once again in 2013.

Here you can see a news report about a ghost sighting that has been caught on camera. This demonstrates how big paranormal thoughts and feelings are as they can make it into the news. This is an article from the Mail Online however there are often other ghost stories in other newspapers as they are very popular. They are popular due to the amount of people that believe in them and want to see the evidence to prove they are real. This is why we feel our film will be popular as people want to see about ghosts and other mysterious characters. LB
