Ghosts, Ghouls, and Grandma

Using the film Ghost and Halloween, host Bill Santos opens the series with its central question — what happens when we die? — and shows how pop culture and ancient civilizations (Egypt, Mesopotamia, the Hebrew Sheol) give wildly contradictory pictures of the afterlife. He frames these beliefs around three deep human longings — for justice, connection, and meaning — and calls the listener to seek clarity in the Bible rather than cultural myth.
