Recently I've been wondering...

Hello again :D
So recently I've been wondering about Ghosts,
strange I know - but at the same time understandable considering my classes this semester. Death in Antiquity and Persia... that's a whole lot of ghosts walking.
Some ghosts harm, some prophecy and others well others just want to stay dead.
For the people in antiquity ghosts often asked to stay dead, when they were called upon for help. This idea intrigues me - the dead wanting to stay dead.

The idea of 'letting the dead lie' is true in more ways than one.
A simple thing to do and yet still in death you have people who blame others for a death, some who call upon the dead to look over them (I know I've done this one), and some who wish that the dead were still with them.
So naturally this got me to thinking from the Greek and Roman point of view, I suppose. How do the dead feel about the living calling on them so often. Wouldn't these peoples be shocked to see the modern world?
Calling on the ghosts every which way.

But hey it's only an idea - and it intrigued me ... perhaps an interesting idea for a paper later???

-Till next time
