Exploring the Concept of Future Ghosts In this week's Ghost Report, Lisa Morton delves into the intriguing question of why we don't see dinosaur ghosts and expands the discussion to whether ghosts might exist outside conventional concepts of time and space. She explores the concept of 'fetch,' or the ghost of a living person, and contemplates encountering ghosts from the future. Lisa also references a classic ghost story, 'The Philosophy of Relative Existences' by Frank R. Stockton, which explores the idea of future hauntings.
