Spirits Walk Earth in a Universal Belief Across Cultures
A Montreal Family Herald excerpt notes a universal belief among ancient races that spirits return to Earth. Eskimos describe returning form as body shaped though ethereal. Tonga Islanders see the soul as the refined part that can pass out. Greenland seers call it pallid and intangible. Doctor Churchward cites living believers who see departed friends but cannot speak or be photographed. Spirits are pure corpuscles resembling their earthly selves, more beautiful, and cannot leave Paradise without divine permission.
