Over on Patreon you can hear me discussing ghostly Monks, including a lesser known story in Shropshire
"This article discusses the haunting of a factory in Shenzhen, China.
The haunting coincided with the 2008 global financial crisis that resulted in a decline in factory orders, leaving the workers, mostly migrants from the countryside, idle." https://www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/711659 #ghosts

Ich habe auf Netflix #Ghosts geschaut. Eine zumindest in der ersten Staffel wirklich sehr tighte, lustige und gut gespielte Serie über Geister Verstorbener in einem alten Haus und eine Hausbesitzerin, die diese Geister sehen kann (deutsche Version furchtbar synchronisiert, aber in Englisch einfach toll!).
Ich habe Fragen, primär zu: Tote verbleiben am Ort des Todes. Das kann ein statischer Ort sein (Haus) oder mobiler Ort (Fahrzeug). Aber was differenziert die beiden Varianten?

“The guy who claimed to be a barber began to whimper, folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell. He was slapped. The #man asked for his mother, then buried his #face in his chained hands and cried as he was slapped again.”
“it was not just a #prison they had arrived at. […] they may as well have been sent into space, nameless and forgotten. Holding my #camera, it was as if I watched them become #ghosts”
I enjoyed this hybrid piece about ghosts. It's a short and fascinating read. https://www.theparisreview.org/blog/2021/09/16/all-you-have-to-do-is-die/ #GhostStories #ShortStory #PersonalEssay #HybridWriting #ghosts
