History of ghosts

Hi,

Today I had to look up a few sites, because I was writing an answer in another forum to the topic Ghost Theories. One of the questions was where the origin of all those theories is... very interesting and so far I couldn't find a satisfactory answer.
BUT:
I've found this interesting site:
http://www.skepticalanalysis.com/reports/ghosts/history.html

I don't know if you find the subject as interesting as I do, but to me, reading sites like this might give a better understanding for our work.

the whole thing is also very philosophical, also dealing with ancient beliefs and the way traces of them can still be found in our modern societies.

Maybe you guys can also add a few more related links.

Cheers,
Hella

Thank you for sharing that link I've read the initial article and shall most certainly look at the 'Further Reading' links at the bottom of the page I guess the origins of ghosts is something I've never questioned simply because stories and legends have always been there, for my whole life. That article's certainly thought-provoking
