last night I became aware that apparently in the last 1800s there was serious discourse about whether ghosts wear clothes and if so:
- Why?
- Where do the clothes come from?
incidentally, I also learned the reason we associate ghosts with bed sheets is that historically people associated ghosts with burial shrouds
but it's an interesting problem if you're trying to conceive of ghosts as some kind of natural phenomenon: why would any kind of clothing be involved at all?
