Pliny the younger writes a letter about ghosts, Comic Panel

Rman ghosts "whether you think they have a shape of their own"

"and a touch of the supernatural in them"

or whether you consider they are vain empty shadows

and mere creatures of our fears and imaginations

It should be no surprise that ghost stories go all the way back to ancient times, presumably they have been around since death.


This is from one of Pliny the Younger's letters. (The letter continues by retelling three ghost stories)
