Excerpt from "The Ghosts of Charleston" by Julian T. Buxton, III

"In all societies and from the earliest times men have feared the return of the dead. The idea of an entity, doomed to walk the earth in the lonely silence of spirit because of some deed or action connected to its mortal life, wakes us to a terrifying degree of accountability for how we, the living, lead our daily lives.

Some people discard spirits as out of the realm of possibility, despite recorded experiences with ghosts throughout the ages. An intellectual position that dogmatically denies the existence of ghosts is as unscientific as it is narrow-minded. A person may feel more at ease in the world by clinging to denial regarding the spirit realm. But that does nothing to negate its existence."
