If You Have Ghosts (A Collection of 3 Ghost Stories from 3 Different Countries)

from A Conversation Before The World Ends

 From ancient Babylon to China, Native America to Shinto Japan, Shakespeare to The Shining, ghost stories have been passed down from century to century, through oral traditions or the written word. It doesnt matter if its a vindictive king, a weeping woman, or an apartment building. These stories have influenced our contemporary imagination. The belief is so widespread that it is considered a cultural universal. Following ghosts through time and space, from dusty spirits to ghosts in machines, reveals that ghosts have a unique ability to reflect the worries of their historical moment. Paying attention to what frightens them can teach us about ourselves.Today we will look at how ghosts have persisted and evolved over time by looking at 3 different ghost stories from 3 different parts of the world and how they differed over time.
