I can see how rewriting history and defacing statues can make old ghosts angry.

Interesting article though I disagree with the portion about returning articles to their native lands. Ive been in the British Museum often, down in the lower level where I had it all to myself. I can understand why they might think its creepy. My favorite room in thr lower level has portions of the temple of Diana of Ephesus, which reminds me of Pauls eventful visit to Ephesus.
It also has the Roman tombstone of a beloved little dog Margarita (Pearl), which brings me to tears every time I read what the Latin plaque says.

Sometimes it's a sudden drop in temperature... The A/C just kicked on? We have cold spots in our house.
Sometimes it's the sound of footsteps, or music, or crying, where no obvious source can be found.
Sounds to me like old pipes...

I think I've seen all of the BFQ that are on YouTube. 8 out of 10 cats as well -- but as I age it is easier to watch something a second and third time, because of CRS.

Hey, they're ghosts, so they obviously have white privilege.
