Paul Fitz-George’s Reviews > Medieval Ghost Stories: An Anthology of Miracles, Marvels and Prodigies > Status Update

Really enjoying this literary bridge between ancient, mostly pagan mythology and christianity. The Church appears to use ghost stories as moral directives, as well as frighteners to its congregations, giving a clear warning not to cross the papacy, otherwise unbelievable misery and torture awaits you in the afterlife.

May not work so well today, but would probably have had a strong effect on the Medieval mind.
