If I had a time machine I'd go forward in time and dig up my own bones.

A Squirmle and her young.

Random old finnish folklore I recall reading: The reason you have to close someone's eyes after they die, or cover their eyes with a cloth if you can't, is because the spirit of the newly passed is still in the body and even though it can't move the eyes anymore, it can still see. You must avoid making eye contact with the dead body, because the soul of the newly dead is scared to go alone, and is looking for someone to come with them. If you lock eyes with the corpse, you will be the next to die.

...So is the second corpse still hazardous, then, or are they fine since they have the first one for company?

[homunculus-argument]

I must confess I don't really know about the more exact details of the undead buddy system.

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix

In this sonification of Perseus. the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center. (source)

No, thank you. I did not need to hear the souls of a universe calling to me from the afterlife.

[somethingmissingthiswaycomes]

I did.

Personal addendum to the "Did ancients actually believe in magic"; it's very likely that many ancient people considered the more complex realities of physics (Magnets, gravity, Uranium) to be a *kind* of magic, but not in the sense that it was a wizard casting Testicular Boil on miners. Even to an ancient atheist, a compass/magnet could easily just be some kind of inherent force of the universe that no one could understand or control.

Actually you're kinda describing the Renaissance conception of the term "Occult".

Agrippa explicitly refers to magnetism as an Occult phenomena, a sort of overlapping third category from both magic and natural philosophy, in that we know it's real and we know it's a natural property of some matter but we have no clue how or why it works. It's nature remains hidden.

It was kinda similar to how people use the term "Preternatural" these days. Meaning "this is natural philosophy we don't fully understand yet."

You live in a very haunted house, but it’s not that bad. The voices in the basement remind you of your laundry and tell you to check the boiler, the rat size talking spider keeps the pests away and is a pretty good therapist, and the victorian ghost children are great friends with your kids.

One of my favorite episodes of BBC Ghosts was when the black death victims trapped in their basement mass-grave for 700 years helped the homeowners fix the furnace, because they’d been watching HVAC repair guys work on it for the last century.
