From a celebrated Victorian medium to a ghost's testimony in a murder trial. Kirsty Logan explores the evolution of Ghost Lore.

Kirsty Logan explores the evolution of Ghost Lore.

In the last of two omnibus editions: :

* She discovers how the tourist trade in the Southern United states whitewashes history rather than drawing on African American ghost stories

* Explores the only known case where the testimony of a ghost secured the conviction of their murderer

* Dives into the life of one of the most celebrated mediums of the Victorian era

* Reveals that a spirit is not the most dangerous part of a poltergeist case

* Asks if in the 21st century we're less interested in finding ghosts, rather than creating them?

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in October 2020.
