Since “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” is another version of “Resurrection Mary” there are some differences in the events in each of the stories plot. For example, in “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” the text never specifies where Carol’s ghost was coming from. The text said “And it was after dusk when we first saw her. I know it was dark, 'cause I remember first seeing her in the lights ahead. Neither Herbert nor I spoke. He slowed down, and the girl stopped walking. She just stood there on our…
t Log 5 Question #1: 3.1 This scene validates all of Hamlet's actions up to this point in the play and provides seemingly concrete evidence – at least in Hamlet's eyes – that his uncle has a guilty conscience, thereby confirming what the ghost had told him. Without this scene, Hamlet would remain skeptical of the ghost's information and never act against his uncle. He would continue his eccentric behavior without ever confronting his uncle about his father's death. Question #2: 3.1 Hamlet- Are…
I fear this will be the last thing I ever write. I’ve never been a superstitious man but I did enjoy reading about ghosts and the like but i've never really taken them seriously. However in this story that is not the case. I guess I should start with the beginning. The year is 2013, society has gotten their heads out and stopped worrying about the end of the world, but for me, it was the beginning of the end. When I was 14 I learned about this website called thefl!pside.net. It was a…

The ghost convinces Hamlet to murder his uncle, who was said to have killed Hamlet’s father, which causes a minor dip in Hamlet’s sanity.…
It all began on a dark winter nightfall, as a ghost strolls the walls of Elsinore Castle in Denmark. The ghost looks a lot like King Hamlet, in which his brother Claudius has taken the command and wedded the former king’s widow, Queen Gertrude. Whenever Horatio and the gatekeepers bring Prince Hamlet, the child of Gertrude and the dead lord, to see the phantom, it addresses him, pronouncing unfavorably that it is undoubtedly his father's soul, and that he was killed by none other than Claudius.…
that behavior. As my adventure drew to a close, I thought, how appropriate that it should end on Halloween? After all, this is the day when people like to suspend their beliefs in the physical laws that govern our world. Spirits awaken from the dead. Ghosts pass through solid walls, levitate objects, and defy the very rules that bind us as mere mortals. But is any of this really possible? Could these laws really be broken? Will there be a day when we can beam ourselves up to the Starship…
Claudius was fearful as to what Hamlet might expose of him. Afterall it was Claudius that killed King Hamlet and took his place. King Hamlet’s Ghost says to Hamlet “Let not the royal bed of Denmark be A couch for luxury and damnèd incest.But, howsoever thou pursuest this act,” (I.V.87-95) confirms the fact that Claudius killed King Hamlet. Now it wasn’t until claudius, and Laertes were alone that…

The Indians of America and mostly from Western Great Basin hence began a cult that was known as ‘the ghost dance’ or Natdia in native America (Weiser). The ghost dance…
