46. Themes of the Podcast: Part 1 Ghost Stories As Entertainment and Functional Tales

from Ghosthropology · host The Ghosthropologist

In this episode, Matt begins what will be an intermittent and ongoing effort to summarize what he has learned from the time he has spent collecting stories and talking with others about them. He starts by defining the term “ghost story”, which is more slippery than you might think, and then talks about ghost stories as entertainment and as stories that serve a social function.
