“There’s no such thing as ghosts,” the Doctor said calmly.
“If that’s supposed to be comforting, it’s not,” Donna replied. “You said the same about zombies, but we ran into them too.”
“They weren’t zombies, and that… thing isn’t a ghost.”
“Try telling the ghost that. ‘Cause it looks like a ghost to me, all pale and glowy.”
“It’s not,” the Doctor continued to insist. “Not the way humans think of ghosts, not a disembodied spirit come back to haunt someone. It’s just an echo, an afterimage caught in a magnetic field.”
“Can echoes throw things at people?”
“No. RUN!”
The End
