Understanding Ghosts Through Personal Experience

Ghost stories often originate from personal experiences of loss and the unresolved emotions tied to those experiences. Emily Urquhart shares her memories of sensing a ghostly presence in her childhood home in France, a phenomenon she refers to as 'something's the matter.' This haunting feeling reflects deeper themes of grief and the unknown, as Urquhart grapples with whether her experiences were real or figments of her imagination. The ambiguity of these encounters shows that ghosts can embody our fears and highlight the struggle to reconcile loss and longing.
