Summary
In this, the Year of Luigi 2023 people believe that ghosts are completely immaterial; that they come and go without a trace. But that has not always been the case - for hundreds of years people have believed that ghosts and spirits can create a substance called ectoplasm. First made famous in pop culture by Ghostbusters in 1984; it appeared on movie screens around the world as green slime, but in reality it can be so much much more. On this week’s episode Kit and Rory explore it’s history, the disturbing victorian-era images of ectoplasm and, by the end, smear ectoplasm all over their faces. Obviously.
