The Origin of Ghosts

For thousands of years, humans across every culture on Earth have believed the dead don’t truly leave. In this episode of What Goes Bump In The Night, we explore the ancient origins of ghost belief—from prehistoric burial rituals over 60,000 years ago to the detailed spirit traditions of ancient Egypt, Rome, China, and beyond. Discover why early civilisations feared and respected the dead, how ghost stories spread across the world, and the psychological and emotional reasons these beliefs have survived every generation of humanity.

Are ghosts simply stories born from grief and fear… or is there something deeper that has followed humanity since the beginning? This episode uncovers the global history, cultural connections, and chilling truth behind one of mankind’s oldest and most universal mysteries.

Join us as we uncover the history, the science, and the unexplained encounters behind one of the most unsettling paranormal theories ever proposed.

Because sometimes… the past doesn’t stay buried.
