Ghosts of ancestors shape belief and faith in everyday life

In this column the author argues for belief in ghosts as ancestral spirits living in us through heredity and memory. He cites family faith, grandmother Lois and mother Eunice, and cites poet Matthew Arnold to emphasize how past generations influence present actions, looks, and faith. He invites readers to carry forward that legacy.
