Explanation
S opens by restating S1's 'baffles' as 'mystery': even science leaves ghosts unexplained. P contrasts this with 'But' - humans stay curious about them regardless. R gives the curiosity a concrete form: attempts to photograph these creatures of darkness. Q admits such attempts have proved useless, and S6 holds the final paradox - yet belief in ghosts flourishes. Hence SPRQ, option C, is correct.
