Ghost stories have been around for quite some time. They are ancient, literally.

This week, Andrew tackles the first known "spooky" ghost story in recorded history, dating back to the first century Roman Empire. The earliest story comes from a well known Roman author and historian, Pliny the Younger. A haunted house in ancient Athens, a stoic philosopher and a conspiracy...what more could you ask for?!
