97. "Of Ghostes and Spirites, Walking by Night" Part 2

from Ghosthropology · host The Ghosthropologist

In this episode, Matt concludes his discussion of Ludwig Lavatar’s 16th-century book on Protestant Demonology, Of Ghostes and Spirites Walking by Night. In this part, we learn that ghosts are actually demons, that Medieval and late Roman sorcerers got up to some freaky stuff, and that Bulgaria was once ruled by a werewolf. We also find that Lavatar has a rather upsetting yet mundane explanation as to why God allows evil spirits to torment people. Ghosthropology is a part of the KMMA Media Podcasting Network.
