We talk about ghosts all the time on Peripheral: ghosts caught on tape, creepy child ghosts, ghosts who solved their own murders and all manner of future ghosts. This week we cover a different type of ghost, the “not quite” ghost. These stories exist somewhere between a sheet hanging out to dry on a bush and Patrick Swayze making you a vase.
This episode has mysterious light spirits, talking corpses, the trial of a ghost murderer and the visions your brain creates to keep you alive.
Enjoy!
