Do you believe in ghosts? Have you ever seen one? Known someone who has? Would you like to? I'll have tips at the end of this episode that might increase your odds of seeing a ghost.

The telling of a ghost story around a campfire or a candlelit room wakes a primal strand of our DNA. It transforms a power outage into a lifelong memory, and might lead us to snuggle closer to our partner.

As the leaves quiver in the wind, and nightfall bleeds into daytime hours, the timing is right to examine the theory of ghosts.

Let's get into it.

Definition of a Ghost

Merriam-Webster defines a ghost as, "a disembodied soul

especially the soul of a dead person believed to be an inhabitant of the unseen world or to appear to the living in bodily likeness; a spirit or demon."

Synonyms for ghost include; apparition, bogey, haunt, phantasm, shade, spectre, sprite, wraith, phantom, shadow, poltergeist or (my favorite) visitant.
