Who doesn't love a good ghost story, especially during the spooky season and Halloween? Well, the belief in an afterlife was a common feature in all historical civilisations in the ancient world and this encouraged the belief in ghosts as the spirits of the departed who had returned to the realm of the living for one reason or another. This means that there are many stories from around the ancient world that are all about ghosts, so stick around if you want to hear about Khonsemhab and the Ghost from Ancient Egypt, The tale of Ning Caicheng from China and La Llorona from Mexico. We will tell you all about the haunted Bhangarh Fort from India, the tale of Athenodorus and his ghost, and Tlepolemus' Ghost where a lover gets her revenge.
