Ghosts. Specters, Spiritual Apparitions. Whatever you want to call them, there’s one thing that they always have in common: they’re old.

Everyone likes a good ghost story, and seeing as I fall under the category of “everyone,” I like them too.

Ever since I was a kid I’ve been known to watch documentaries and TV shows about ghosts and those strange folks who sit in darkened houses trying to find them. I’ll even throw on the trashiest ones. The kind where a bunch of dudes who look like they play in a crappy metalcore band take tape recorders into an old mental hospital but ultimately find nothing.
