What do ghost hunters and archaeologists have in common? More than you might imagine! Archaeologists and ghost hunters are both interested in exploring long forgotten places in search of the people that once inhabited them. Data may be important as supporting evidence, but it is the story of these sites and their long gone inhabitants that captures the minds and the hearts of us today.

Ghosts and the stories that accompany them bring the past alive for people in a very real, if sometimes terrifying way. Archaeologists have the same goal, but sometimes the desire to bring the past to life can get mired in the data. Today's guest, Dr. April M. Beisaw, has explored how archaeologists can use ghost stories to teach people about the past, and how they connect with it. Join us as we discuss how archaeology can harness the power of ghosts, and in so doing, change history!
