Ghost Stories: First started as ancient oral traditions, with the earliest written accounts originating in Mesopotamia (around 2000 BCE). The earliest known recorded ghost appears in the Epic of Gilgamesh, where the hero is visited by the spirit of his dead friend Enkidu.
The Ghost Story: As a recognized literary genre did not take shape until much later, specifically during the Victorian era in the 19th century.
