A History of Ghosts & Hauntings

The Paranorm Girl

The idea that a person’s spirit, their essence, can linger following the death of the physical body is an ancient one. Ghosts have haunted both the human psyche and the human for millennia. It is a deeply rooted belief and occurrence that crosses all borders of human kind and era. Simply put - History is rife with ghosts.
