You can map out the inside of a building and figure out where objects are, and when and where movement occurs, with WiFi.
You cannot do this with magic woo woo nonsense that equivocates and conflates terms across different domain specific meanings, and then attempts to build a world view out of confused, meaningless/contradictory gibberish.
You've obviously never been ghost hunting.
I mean, I have certainly wandered through many an abandonded, functionally cursed place when I was homeless for about 2 years.
And I could have just brought a portable radio and randomly dialed through FM/AM stations, pausing for a few second on something stable, then going back to static.

Some of the more storied and out there reports of what happened with the remote viewing program in the 80s and 90s pretty much get close to this.
Batman taught me this.
I... am not entirely certain whether or not the tech actually existed, when the Dark Night came out, to build the hyper spy system...
But it definitely exists now, to at least some extent.
Fortunately, ~~the Antichrist~~ Peter Thiel is probably more or less in charge of it, so, all good!
