The First Ghosts

Happy Halloween! Today we're going to take a look back on the earliest recorded history of ghosts from ancient Mesopotamia. Kingdoms like Sumeria, Asyria, and Babylon contain some of the earliest writings about paranormal entities like ghosts, phantoms, demons, exorcists, witches, and sorcerers. I drew heavily on Dr Irving Finkel who is one of the world's leading authorities on ancient Mesopotamia, and one of the few who can read the ancient cuneiform tablets.
