Ghost Lore: Spirits of Christendom & the Fires of Purgatory

Send us comments, suggestions and ideas here! In this week’s episode we explore how Christianity began to shift ideas about ghosts which had been around since ancient times, specifically the concepts championed by theologian philosopher Thomas Aquinas regarding intercessory prayer and purgatory. Along the way we discuss how indulgences helped pave the way for the reformation and how Tibbie Mortimer disguised herself as a ghost for love. In the extended side of the show we discuss how to create your own custom ghost, ghost fire, inappropriate ghost bread, Truckstop Shintoism, doppelgangers, the devil’s footprints and the mysterious case of the Winchester Mystery Mansion.
