More Words, Deeper Hole

I have no idea who this guy is (http://blog.garycorby.com/2010/06/ghosts-of-ancient-greece.html) but he writes mysteries that might be up your alley.

He doesn't think the ancient Greeks had ghosts.

The Greeks were one of the very few people throughout history to not have a strong belief in ghosts. In fact I'd be willing to bet there are more people in the western world per capita today who believe in ghosts, than there were in Athens in 460BC.

I put this down to the Greek belief that the world was fundamentally explainable by rational means. That very modern viewpoint was totally at odds with their own religion, and the deeper thinkers of the time were painfully aware of the paradox. Yet nevertheless, give a Classical Greek a problem, and he would instinctively look for a rational solution. This rather suits me as a mystery writer.
