Ghosts Are Very Old, Too.

It has been the current opinion for centuries that places of burial are haunted, especially after nightfall, with specters, ghosts and other apparitions. Persons who have investigated this matter declare that the ghost idea was prevalent before Noah built the Ark. Even Ovid has put .himself on record as believing that spirits occasionally left their sepulchers and wandered about seeking whom they might devour.—[St. Louis Republic.
