Ghosts - the spirits of the dead - have walked by our side since time immemorial.In The First Ghosts, author Irving Finkel looks at ghosts from a standpoint quite different to that of most spectral literature. Drawing on evidence from the very earliest pre-human archaeology and the very earliest writing and literature, Finkel suggests that belief in and experience of ghosts emerges as a central component of humanity since its inception.

A cool one I read recently is The First Ghosts by Irving Finkel, where he explores how people have been obsessed with ghosts for such a long time. It's a blast.
