where to go from here?

since the change in direction with my work and the technique leading me to go for far more abstracted images, i wanted something far more substantual for a basis of my work. while the idea of shooting haunted locations in this style is working out, as an artist i like my work to have more depth to it. While having a chat with my father actually about my work (he was playing taxi) something he said gave me a real brainwave about what i could do with these images.  He asked me if i was developing my films andi saw an apperition or a face, what would i do? with this in my head and lookikng back at my images it made me look deeper into the images and start to see stuff that wasnt there. It also reminded me of the idea of matrixing of the eye which i reserched as part of my haunting reserch. This made me think, what would the audience see when presented with my work and told that there are ghosts in the images? would it make them look deeper into the images and start to see things that are not there.
i did state from the begining that i wanted text to play a big part of this project, so what text could i add to sway the audience to look for ghosts?
