Truly the universe is full of ghosts, not sheeted churchyard spectres, but the inextinguishable elements of individual life, which having once been, can never die, though they blend and change, and change again for ever.
— H. Rider Haggard, born on this date in 1856
Haggard came by his belief organically, after his dog came to him in a dream after he'd been struck by a train.
