Show Summary

A ghost can only find its way back to the house by the way by which it left it. Hence our ancestors carried the corpse out by a hole made in the wall, and this hole was carefully stopped up as soon as the body had passed through. . . . These "doors of the dead," as they are called, are still to be seen in a village near Amsterdam, and they were common in some towns of central Italy, e.g., Perugia and Assisi.²
