"Ghosts have been around as long as humanity." Dr Janina Ramirez and Irving Finkel of The British Museum talk ghosts, ghouls & demons from earliest times...

Cuneiform spell from 1800BC - to get rid of an unwanted ghost?

Two ways you may be able to get to watch this quite interesting hour long discussion...

1. from Dr Janina Ramirez's own twitter feed...

https://twitter.com/DrJaninaRamirez/stat...7261577216

or

2. periscope directly...

Hopefully you can get one to work?


Lastly...Irving Finkel has a book on this subject "The First Ghosts" coming out next year..

We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring 
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.

If you press play anyway, it plays fine. At least it does for me.

Yep. I made my previous comment just to be playful, without even trying either option. But now that I try them, both work just fine for me.

I liked Dr Finkel's explanation of why he had a particular dislike for The Exorcist (film).

I’ve tried again. No joy with either. Could be the IPad I’m using.

The periscope didn’t work on my iPhone either. But the twitter link worked fine, although I have the twitter app installed here, which may be why?
