Creative Notes:
This is the original. Needs a little cleaning up and maybe different locations which are easy to do.

Synopsis:
An inventor creates a new tool for ghost hunting which is his hobby. During his testing of the goggles, he's electrocuted and work ceases until he recovers. Returning home from the hospital a few weeks later, he returns to his project and discovers that the goggles not only let him see ghosts; they also let him see past history imprints caused by the traumatic events that led to the death of the people he sees.
All the while, a company has been watching him. They approaches him, wanting to buy his new invention however, this isn't your run-of-the-mill company. This company is part of a bigger, darker conspiracy that intends to use the goggles to change world history and topple America.
Imagine being able to see the assassination of JFK, record it from any angle and relive it to see the puff of smoke on the grassy knoll over and over at will? Now imagine if it really was the CIA or a foreign government instead of Lee Harvey Oswald... think history wouldn't be changed forever? It would and more.
The company confronts our inventor and gives him an offer he can't refuse... be richer than he ever dreamed or watch as his family is killed. The clock is ticking and he'll have to choose between his family or his country. He must complete the invention or his family will pay the price. what will he do. What would you do?
