Why do so many people believe in Ghosts? Is it because we love Killstar sleepwear or our love of Blackcraft blankets, who knows why we love them, but we do!
Whatever you choose they will forever be our favourite ghoulie friends. Folklore has us believe that ghosts are both everywhere and nowhere. Their existence is constantly being investigated, but highly doubted, yet despite that healthy scepticism ghosts feature prominently in our culture.
Ghosts even influence some of our everyday customs, in ways we may not recognize. "People used to believe a sneeze caused someone to expel their soul out of their body, and so 'God bless you' or 'Bless you' was used as a protection against the devil snatching your soul,"
A ghost is said to be the soul or spirit of a dead person or animal that can appear to the living. They inhabit the netherworld and are capable of returning in some for to the world of the living. Descriptions of ghosts vary widely from an invisible presence to translucent or barely visible wispy shapes, to realistic, lifelike forms.
Halloween is the best time of the year to celebrate the supernatural and possibly see a ghost. Belief in ghosts is actually quite common with 38% of people classifying themselves as believers.
You can find ghosts on just about everything today from mugs to hairclips, shoes, plates, clothes and so much more! Lets face it we love all things other wordly so why not!
