Zoom Lecture "Exploration of Ghosts, Spirits, Apparitions: Greco-Roman Era to Present Through an Anthropological Lense" - Dr. James Rietveld

One constant around the world, both today and in the past, is the belief not only in the supernatural, but in what are often called "ghosts" the problem is that there exists great confusion beyond this word, for what exactly is a ghost?Eventbrite Pay What You Wish ticket link:https://www.eventbrite.com/manage/events/117145199445Is a "ghost" the spirit of a lost soul, a spirit of a soul that is sending a specific message or prophecy, telepathic entities entering our mind, glitches in the fabric of time-space, spirit beings that have never been living souls, an angel or demon, a natural phenomena or historical echo that occurs when the time or temperatures are just right, or even an undigested bit of beef, a blot of mustard, a crumb of cheese, a fragment of underdone potato?What is most curious is that from the Greco-Roman Era to the present-day, the descriptions of ghosts are more alike than different. Is this due to the transmission of similar stories and ideas across cultures, a result of human psychology reacting to perceptions in a similar way because of our intrinsic commonalities, or is it because there is really something out there that could be understood as a "ghost" and that is why the responses are so similar? Yet, most scientists will either deny the existence of ghosts or will not comment on this topic, leaving the research often to those who are deemed to be advancing a pseudo-science.For this lecture at Ipso Facto, we will investigate the history of ghosts as well as the research into this topic, seeing if we have a ghost of a chance in deciphering this mystery.
