Myths: Great Mysteries of Humanity - Season 2 - Eps 4: Ghosts and Spectres
Ghosts and spectres - Mysterious creatures from the afterlife. Since the dawn of time, people have believed in life after death, ancestors coming back to visit us, and unfortunate souls lingering between two worlds. But is it actually possible to come back to Earth as an ethereal spirit? Researchers from all over the world are attempting to add some tangibility to this seemingly incomprehensible notion. Are encounters between humans and supernatural creatures real, or are our senses just playing tricks on us? Even today, new stories of revenants or other ghostly apparitions continue to surface in forgotten places, from the haunted castle in Schallaburg, Austria, to the former tuberculosis sanatoriums near Germany’s capital Berlin, or the abandoned Waldlust Hotel in Southern Germany.

Synopsis
Myths exist from every period in human history and remain powerful even centuries after they are first told. But how much truth is there to myths, and can we separate fact from fiction? Each episode of the riveting series Myths: The Greatest Mysteries of Humanity examines these questions with the assistance of scientists and hobby researchers. Archaeologists uncover ancient graves and go on underwater expeditions in locations across the globe. Follow in their footsteps as they head to ancient Egypt or disappear into the middle of The Bermuda Triangle. From biblical stories such as The Holy Grail, to historical mysteries such as The Search for Attila's Tomb, to modern urban legends such as Werewolves, the series explores inexplicable events and ancient legends.
