The Haunted Mind: The Psychology of Ghosts | Halloween Sleep Story
Published 21 hours ago
Description
Why can an empty room feel occupied?
The Haunted Mind is a gently narrated Halloween sleep story for adults about strange experiences, the psychology of ghosts, and the people who tried to understand them.
Begin beside a candle and a looking glass on a Halloween night in Scotland. Follow Benjamin Franklin into an orchard near Paris, Michael Faraday to the moving tables of Victorian London, and William James into the mysteries of a Boston medium.
Along the way, encounter Carl Jung, Sigmund Freud, Mary Shelley and Ernest Shackleton as we explore expectation, memory, dreams, the uncanny, and the deeply human feeling that someone else is there.
This approximately 70-minute podcast edition is narration only, without background music. It approaches ghosts, séances, loss and grief gently, through thoughtful history and psychology.
