Ghosts, ghouls, myths and legends · Global Voices

Throughout most of the western world, Halloween is celebrated on October 31st and All Saints Day (Day of the Dead) is commemorated on November 2nd. These couple of days are ones where the living think back on the dead, and when ghosts, ghouls, myths and legends are remembered in stories and tales.
In this special feature, we search the lore and folk tales from many different countries throughout the world, to learn about those beings from beyond and their interactions with the physical world.
