What is a ghost?? The concept is based on the ancient belief that there is a spirit or essence that continues to exist without the body after death and can in some cases interact or haunt the "living." This actually led to the development of funerals and rituals to help protect against this and encourage the soul's onward journey.
Nearly 1 in 5 people say they have seen a ghost. 58% of Americans agree with the statement, "places can be haunted by spirits."
Ghost stories go back as far as ancient Mesopotamia. Ancient civilizations believed in the afterlife and these tales have figured prominently in the folklore of many cultures around the world.
Let's share and explore insights around mythology and psychology for understanding ourselves and reduce taboos around death and mystery.
