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. It was here that authors like Charles Dickens (with his 1843 novella A Christmas Carol) popularized the modern ghost story and ignited a deep cultural fascination with the supernatural

Ghosts: Are widely defined as the souls or spirits of deceased people or animals that are believed to appear to the living. Described in folklore for thousands of years, they are typically categorized into a few main concepts across different belief systems and scientific perspectives.
