119. Ghosts of the British Museum (with Noah Angell)

In this episode, Matt talks to Noah Angell about his book Ghosts of the British Museum. How does the museum’s reputation of being the gold standard of museum collections square with its history of colonization and plunder… and how might that affect the ghosts that wander the galleries at night?

Noah Angell is an artist who has exhibited internationally, a researcher, and an author. This is his first book.

25. Dr. Michele Hanks Author Interview

For the 25th episode of Ghosthropology, Matt does something a bit different. Rather than focusing on a specific ghost story, this long episode is dedicated to an interview with Dr. Michele Hanks, an anthropologist who studies ghost tourism and paranormal investigators. Dr. Hanks provides some thought-provoking comments on the search for evidence, what belief in ghosts means, and how this all ties into larger cultural issues.
