How's that again?

There was an article in The Dallas Morning News during the Halloween season about a group of paranormal investigators going to the Adolphus Hotel in Dallas to give some peace to the ghosts inhabiting the building. I found it extremely funny.

One of their ghostly indicators was a pendulum held on a line of some sort. The pendulum swinging in a clockwise direction indicated a "yes" answer from the spirit. A counterclockwise direction indicated a "no" from the ethereal realms.

The ghost hunters became excited on the 22nd floor where a bride supposedly hanged herself years ago. When Sierra Sky (do you think that's her real name?) asked if the bride was present, the pendulums all rotated clockwise. Sky then asked the bride if she would like to go into the light. Again, the pendulums rotated clockwise. Sky then performed a ceremony to help the spirit. Here's the funny part. She asked of the ghost, "Are you still here?" The pendulums spun counterclockwise. Now, if she's not there, how did she answer?
