A short history of ghost hunting

Jeg startede ordnot i 2013 og vi laver cykeltøj. Det bedste ved Shopify er for mig, at vi kan drive virksomheden, selvom vi egentlig ikke har nogen teknisk baggrund. Vi kan administrere alt fra backend til frontend og sælge ting online helt nemt. Hvis Shopify var cykeludstyr, tror jeg faktisk, det vil være selve cyklen. Det er kernen i det hele.

It's something of a Christmas tradition to enjoy a spooky ghost story in the run-up to the festive period, and the Victorians were instrumental in shaping such stories in their modern form. For today's episode of the History Extra podcast, Ben Machel, author of new book Chasing the Dark, spoke to David Musgrove about the history of ghost hunting and supernatural investigations since the mid-19th century. and how it shaped today's passion for the paranormal.

Do you believe in ghosts? I am fascinated by the idea, but I've never seen anything to make me a believer. I'm open-minded to there being things that we can't understand, and I think a lot of people today are similarly interested in things that go bump in the night. Journalist and author Ben Machel has been investigating where our current passion for the paranormal derives from, and his book, Chasing the Dark, is a cracking read.
