An elaboration to your #3 :) In Scandinavia, Christianization was complete everywhere by the 12th century - in as much as that's when worship of the old gods was outlawed everywhere. BUT The reason for forbidding it...was that it still took place. And there's reason to believe that a small minority in distant areas far from central authority worshipped the old gods into the 14th century. Some pagan practices (though not its theology) survives even to this day! Things like putting food out for the "nisser" ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisse_(folklore) - though this is almost exclusively taking place during Advent and Christmas ), referencing "the gods" in proverbs and idioms, etc*. * = Based on how things are in Denmark. YMMV when it comes to Norway and Sweden.

Interesting to hear about the discerning of the spirits, I was reading about Saint Simeon the stylite who spent time living on a pillar as a form of asceticism. One day he had a vision of a great light and a being approached him and told him that it was his time to be taken and to ascend to heaven in this amazing firey chariot. Saint Simeon began to step forward, but he paused for a moment and decided to make the sign of the cross, at which the apparition began to protest and then vanished. And Saint Simeon was stood one foot hanging over the edge of the pillar. The being was a demon disguised as an angel and it was trying to trick him into falling to his death.

When read them thank about them many of them also there to teach you lesson or just common sense, such as "bad luck to walk under a ladder", "seven years bad luck for breaking a mirror" makes sense when you know how expensive mirrors were and easily worth 7 years of wages. Then you have wedding veil symbol of seclusion, to keep bride hidden so she can't do psychic harm to others, OK until you get to second part of why she wears the veil, to protect her from evil eyes of jealous rivals and spinsters. Then it makes more sense. Some were clearly just people having a bit of fun like young girls putting handkerchief on a bush on eve of may, hoping in morning it will show initials of one who they will marry. I can imagine some of the stories of spirits and ghost were tales told to children for fun or to keep them from wandering off at night, adults know it is foxes but tells kids it is wail of a banshee.

For those of you who don’t know, the ritual of Forefathers Eve in the Witcher is actually inspired by a real, pagan ritual, which was made widely known in Poland through a 19th century romantic poet, Adam Mickiewicz. It also involves fulfilling wishes of various ghosts so they could move on to the afterlife.

On October 31, I was with my girlfriend in the forest, picking mushrooms. Suddenly we came across an unusual find - a tree (probably a spruce) and various fruits spread on the litter around the trunk. We got closer and noticed small coins lying on plums, grapes, bananas, oranges and tangerines. Additionally, the trunk and these "offerings" were sprinkled with some milk by someone. It looked really mysterious and magical, I have never seen anything like that randomly found in the forest. Amazing stuff, I really liked it.

And this isn't really fantasy and folklore, as ghosts have been reported by all cultures across the globe and are an extant phenomenon. Drunks, crazies and fame seekers are not the vast preponderance of those who have witnessed them.

Belief in ghosts has certainly varied locally by region and culture. For example, Finnic people have believed that a person has three souls: Itse (the Self, the soul of consciousness), Haamu (the Ghost, the soul of health; or alternatively Hahmo (the Shadow)) and Henki (the Vigor, the soul of vitality). The belief continued for a long time until the 19th century, and souls were thought to be able to wander freely during sleep and after death. Even at the beginning of the 20th century, it was believed in some places that a sleeping person should not be woken up suddenly, because the person's Itse soul might be far away from the body and might not have time to find it again, and the person woken up suddenly would lost itself and die. In turn, the departure of the Haamu soul from the body has been considered to lead to illness, or if it was seen moving detached from the body, to premature death. The Haamu soul of a dead person was believed to remain wandering among the living until the birds, especially the soul grouse, would transport them to the afterlife. However, modern Finns no longer publicly admit that they believe in ghosts, at least as openly as before because they are unscientific, but many talk privately or only to their acquaintances about their haunting experiences and ghost sightings. Christianity also brought to Finland the belief in poltergeists, raging spirits (Räyhähenki) that caused noise in apartments as well as hid, moved and threw objects, driving people crazy. It could only be exorcised by a priest, but after that it would return with seven even more powerful and evil spirits. In addition, there was also a belief in the ghosts of abandoned babies, a lovechild, called Ihtiriekko (the Bastard), who appeared like the flame of will-o'-wisp. And they tormented their mothers who abandoned them with endless screams and the child's cries until they went mad and died. Ihtiriekko stopped haunting only if someone found its body and buried it properly. Unfortunately, no medieval ghost stories have survived from Finland, and theories about what people once believed in are based on folklore and remnants of old folk religion. However, the oldest restoration story dates back to the 16th century, according to which the spirits of drowned people sometimes gathered in the yard of St. Olaf's Castle with odd music and disappeared into the air like smoke.

The poltergeist folklore sounds like a conflation of a couple or few different Christian teachings. I don't remember the Gospel verse, but Jesus warned His disciples that if a possessed person is delivered from torment through exorcism, the person had to take care to fill his mind and life with God, because if the demon returns and finds the house swept clean and empty, hell go get seven other demons, and the person's plight will be worse than before. So then if a person asks for deliverance but refuses to pray, it's more compassionate to refuse to deliver him rather than to let him suffer worse effects. I haven't heard it in relation to an actual house, though. Sounds like it might have been a tale started by people who only half heard the Gospel and then filled in the rest.

However, it's difficult to know if they did believe in it or if it was mainly used for political purposes such as the Catholic church combating the rising Protestant movement. However, during this time, some of the church and theologist did try to combat and put out their resentment against the witch trial movement (naturally because they could just get accused and "tested"(executed)) and by the late 17th century, the witch trials are pretty much extinct in most parts of europe.

But, it shows that by the early 1800s there were concepts of ghosts widely known and commonly agreed upon so he could use a ghost as a major story element. The Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future don't seem to be spirits of people returning from the dead; my impression has always been that they are very different in nature from Marley's ghost. That the term "ghost" is used for both Marley and them indicates medieval ideas that ghosts could be something other than a human coming back were also common.

Even more than Halloween, Christmas was seen back then as a day when spirits walked abroad and could approach ordinary mortals.

One story from finland. Origin of Ievan Polkka (Ieva's polka). A folk song with very well known internet song, leek spin and loads of influencers butchering the lyrics. Talks about a neighbour boy and girl going dancing and not minding about the girls mothers orders. The historical story: A young girl died and was taken to the local church. A young boy was guarding the church at night, and reported the dead girl stood up, started dancing wildly, the boy fled and when the priest was brought, the girls feet were dirty (the body had been washed prior). Well, the boy was charged for necrophilia and sent to the russian army as punishment.

There are a couple of experiences that make me believe there is something. The first is mine, I left a club in Nottingham early (and sober as I was on antibiotics) and was walking home with my friend. We was in the Meadows when we noticed a couple walking along the road wearing odd clothes (looked Victorian/Georgian) about 40ft (12m) ahead of us, we were catching them up but hadn't saw them before this road, walking from town. When we were about that far out I turned to my mate to comment on it and he looked at me then back ahead, under a second. The road was empty, to the left an 8-10ft spiked metal fence surrounding a school field and on the other side of the road, row houses with front walls about 3ft high. They couldn't have ran ahead in that time, couldn't see how they got over the fence and out of the street light coverage on the field and I crossed over and looked over every wall. Mate said he saw a couple but didn't notice anything specific, he was as confused as me as to where they went.

I'm convinced a lot of those sightings are genuine, but I don't think it's about dead people "returning" into the world of the living, or "staying in this dimension because they still have unfinished business". My take on the matter is that time doesn't really exist (a concept that's actually being pondered in physics). And since it doesn't really exist, past, present and future are all simultaneous. Things don't "pass" and "cease to exist", they just move out of sight of the living. It's all still there, we just can't see it anymore. Some people, though, who have a finer perception, can, at certain times, when the circumstances are ideal, catch a glimpse on so-called past (or also future) events, and that's what we call either ghost apparitions or foreknowledge. I've actually pondered writing a ghost story where, in a house, two people who live(d) there at different times perceive EACH OTHER as ghosts.

So when we are thinking about zombies in the modern sense, the term only started to be used in the 60s, before then zombies were the hypnotised dead voodoo doctors controlled. Vampires, were the zombies of the past and there mythology might also be linked to real life phenomenons such as corpses moving due to the build up of gas and the ensurement of the corpses being dead as to avoid them waking up alive in the coffins during a time when that wasn't uncommon. So if you're going to put old Bobby 6ft under, just put a steak through the heart, cause he's not going to have a good time if it turns out he didnt actually die.

I would love to see more content regarding topics of folklore and mythology throughout history, especially in the medieval period.

Very interesting loved it!

Great, please continue

Great video and looking forward on more on story telling and belief between then in medieval times or other historical times and now on skeletons, vampires, werewolves, dragons and more.

Another great video, as always. There's so much about human culture that they dont teach in schools, so I'm glad you're around to share things like this with us! Keep it up, and please give your mother my family's best!

This video brings to mind the stories of the Yuki-onna, which serve as a fantastic explanation for the effects of hypothermia.

I appreciate your clean and clear discussion format. I LOVE that you include the outline and progression. Enjoyable topic!
