    13: Ghosts!
    Dec 29 2025
    What is a ghost? How long have we believed in them? Have they changed over time? This month, host Ivy decides to wrap up 2025 with an episode on ghosts by sharing some history and notable examples through time.

    We owe a HUGE thank you to everyone who has tuned in this year, and we cannot wait to be back again in 2026 with more stories of odd anthropology!
