The First Ghosts: A Rich History Of Ancient Ghosts
Author: Irving Finkel
Publisher: Hodder
ISBN: 9781529303292
Ghosts - the spirits of the dead - have walked by our side since time immemorial.
In The First Ghosts, author Irving Finkel looks at ghosts from a standpoint quite different to that of most spectral literature. Drawing on evidence from the very earliest pre-human archaeology and the very earliest writing and literature, Finkel suggests that belief in and experience of ghosts emerges as a central component of humanity since its inception.
