I'd love a real scientific ghost hunting show where, for once, cameras film every corner, the equipment was properly tested, there are independent observers... yes I know that means probably nothing will happen but I'm fine with that.
Here's 2 hours of CCTV of a spooky room.
Cool
When I was a kid I spend a few weekends at a castle, I'd grab a video camera and walk around the place at night, hoping to find some ghosts.
Alas, no luck.
I should see if I can find the video somewhere.
Would be something if I suddenly saw something in the shadows...
Mind you such a show would only have to film a dog or cat respond to something we can't see and half the tv audience would scream.
I've seen that happen and it's freaky seeing a dog bark at something invisible in the room and then suddenly start wagging her tail...
Oh I did see a "ghost" once.
Just after our old cat died I saw it run behind the tv from the corner of my eye.
Unfortunately I'm very rational so immediately just accepted that it was my brain making a quick assumption based on a shadow and the cat always doing that for years.
Oh you know what would make my "boring" factual ghost show more fun & interesting for the average viewer?
If we send our team to the same places all the dodgy ghost hunting shows have been to and prove they're nonsense...
Yeah remember that show where everything fell over?
And the presenter was screaming and stuff was flying across the room and the camera man kept feeling a hand on his shoulder?
We've been here for 48 hours.
Nothing.

TV executives can contact me to buy this idea. ;)
Oh btw while you're at it, check out this ghost hunting show, it's a documentary, 100% not a comedy show, completely real, nothing staged, some people say they see ghosts in the footage.

Many years ago I decided to combine WW2 then & now photos as part of research I was doing.
It caught on and I made more.
History is all around us.

The ghosts of history.

Sigh, another book claiming to have the source for Elizabeth I bathing monthly and saying "need it or no" that turns out to just quote another book that quoted another book that turns out to not have a historical source at all.
The quest continues.
Little bit of background;
It has been taught in schools and mentioned in books, museums & documentaries for decades that Queen Elizabeth I bathed very rarely and once said she had a monthly/annual bath whether she "need it or no", or something similar.
This is so generally accepted and well known I didn't think it was suspicious but still wanted to find out more.
To my surprise it turned out very difficult to find out where this story came from.
Some books suggested it was in a Venetian ambassador's letter, but where is it?

I tried to teach my dog to become an archaeologist.
She hasn't found anything valuable yet.
I'm not sure she quite understood how archaeology works but it's nice to see her specialise in the history of footwear.
As any good historian, she, her name is Beike discusses her finds with her peers;

Remember fellow time travellers, make sure no pottery painting artist spots you when you're working on your laptop back in the past!

Here's a replica, they're a lot of fun to use, I got one somewhere in the attic, you can write, draw and easily erase your work again. Image
If you're a teacher, work in a museum or are just an ambitious and/or desperate parent, these are relatively easy to make and kids love them, also great excuse to teach them about literacy perhaps being more common than was long thought and about... ONFIM!! Image

Sometime in 1930s Germany someone thought that they should make a little booklet about the dangers of electricity.
I bet that anyone who saw these illustrations never even got near electricity again.
They're terrifying.

I've used 1930s appliances... they're scary.

Roman skeletons found in the Belgian town of Tongeren have been reconstructed.
One grave contained a man and two children, the children were brother and sister but not related to the man, the girl had her arms wrapped around the man's legs.
vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2021…
The article writes about how DNA shows the children were related, it also told scientists the colour of their skin, hair, eyes.
Man and boy were on their backs, girl on her side clutching the man's legs.
Researchers assumed the 3 were related, but the man was not their dad.
And of course...
