DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?
The old English word for Ghost is Gast. Spook, is from the
Dutch, and is a loanword akin to Low German, spook entered the
English language via the United States
in the 19th century. While deceased ancestors, are regarded as vulnerable,
and often imagined as having a continued presence in some sort of after life,
the spirit of a deceased person which remains present in the material world
(viz. a ghost) is regarded as an unnatural or undesirable state of affairs and
the idea of ghosts is associated with a reaction of fear... This is universally
the case in pre-modern folk cultures, but fear of ghost also remains an integral
aspect of the modern Ghost story. What
makes children terrified of Ghost stories, an yet compelled to ask for them to
be told to them? What is our fascination with ghosts or spirits?
I think it is
just human curiosity. We don’t like it when we don’t know. I tell you now,
doing some research on the net, I will make this blog a lot quicker than I anticipated.
On my own, Hub abroad, teen party and me? Kind of wishing I had not started
this blog on ghosts?
I do believe in
them though. I have seen them and do not want to awaken those dark days of fear
again thank you, very much even in the research of blogging!
