Have you read Jean-Claude Schmitt's 'Ghosts In The Middle Ages'? That briefly details two accounts of 'ghosts' in bath houses. One is from the 6th century CE and the other from c. the 11th century CE.

Back in the very early 1600s the village where I grew up and now live had some issues with squalor - what they actually meant was 'drunk working class people' and 'pubs'.

Che was offed by people tied to the CIA. One of them wore his wristwatch many years later, as an advisor to Reagan.

Try it on the CEOs and recruiters of those companies first and then see if they're still keen on using it.

We had a similar thing for 'Punkie Night' in the 70s her in south-west England. They were made from manglewurzles. I have a very vivid memory when I was 7 or so of my dad trying to carve out some that were half-frozen after being left out in the farm yard where he worked.

'The Ghost Slayers' and 'Doorways To Dilemma' (if you can find those) are two antholgies of stories that have not been republished since they were originally released in various magazines of the time, so it's unlikely that they've been antholgised. The BL have done good legwork finding these stories

Setting aside a day of rememberance for the dead was created by the medieval Catholic church. It used to be in early November but gradually moved to the end of October. It has nothing to do with anything these loonies claim.

I wonder how these people will react if we find out that Kirk's killer was (as some have suggested) a groyper. The word 'leftist' was initially bandied about but that all seems to have gone quiet now.

I saw Threads when I was a kid when it was first broadcast by the BBC. I think I've seen it once more since then. I don't think I want to see it again. 'The Day After' is a cartoon in comparison.
