No belief in ghosts. No stories about invisible entities haunting homes.\n\nThe explorers' encounters became the beginning of something entirely new—not just a haunting, but an idea.\n\nPeople began telling stories about unseen beings moving objects.\n\nThose stories spread from generation to generation.\n\nCenturies passed.\n\nThe original events became folklore.\n\nThe beings became ghosts.\n\nTheir unexplained movements became","html":"","width":500,"height":480,"thumbnail_url":"https://audius-04.staked.cloud/content/baeaaaiqsebazngaqjm4hee2q5uqm4pflus7yzagg7gbtlvljv7j3beby3hnpy/480x480.jpg","thumbnail_width":480,"thumbnail_height":480,"author_name":"Justin Empire","author_url":"https://audius.co/kissinginlove","cache_age":3600}
