That's a great idea! And it's something we can definitely do -- or even build a series of videos around. Thanks for posting. We're going to put that idea in the books.

As someone who started in mortuary science and continuing to add B.S. Anthropology because I became obsessed with embalming, funeral cultures, and death customs in general, this is perfect and everything I love!! Found another rabbit hole to get lost in. Hopefully we can get more of these!

Hey there! Thanks so much for the kind words. Really happy you enjoyed this one. I loved making it and have been a bit disappointed by its performance, so seeing people get something out of the work means a lot. I do think we'll be making at least one of these every year -- maybe two. All focusing on the cultural history of ghosts in different cultures. That's actually something I worked on ages ago during my PhD, so it's near and dear to my heart. Best of luck with your studies!!

The part about how society views ghost as translucent is NOT correct at all. There are many civilizations throughout the world that have reported encounters with ghost that are translucent, way before the cinematography devices were invented. For example, in the South Pacific islands of Palau, there have been many reports of ghosts, including translucent ones, way before cinematography technology were ever introduced. Plus, reports of sightings of Roman soldiers in Britain span for centuries, and some of those reports included translucent figures. And as for the banging and knocking on the walls and doors, this too has been reported for centuries. One of the oldest reports of ghosts was in Rome. A Roman historian referenced an old house that was haunted by a ghost of an old man who walked around covered with chains and making clinging noises. Knockings are also reported by Pacific islanders in some ghost encounters. Not to be rude, but if you stop basing your research on the assumption that ghosts are "not real", and instead perform REAL scientific research, then you would be coming up with real answers to how ghosts appear. You must agree that it is 1000% foolish to think that the millions of ghost sightings around the world and going back thousands of years, with similar experiences, are all just "delusions", "superstitions," or "misidentification". That is NOT very scientific to assume that.

Thanks for watching! If you'd like us to make more videos on cultural history or the sociology of ghosts and ghost lore across cultures, let us know! 🍻 [Check below for corrections:] 1:35 The data for the BRS survey I am citing here was published in 2010, but it was actually collected in 2005.

Why don't you make an episode on langdarma( the bull king).being a honest researcher one have to dig the deep beyond myths,just collecting and presenting doesn't worthwhile.

Hey there, thanks for posting. Langdarma, Ralpachen, and the decline and fall of the Tibetan empire are going to be a significant part of the third episode of The Animated History of Tibet. That project is planned as a nine episode series that will exist parallel to our other content, a lot of which focuses on social science -- like this video here. Thanks for watching.
