Ghosts of the British Museum by Noah Angell
Ghosts of the British Museum by Noah Angell is a haunting, revelatory exploration of the spiritual and political unrest within one of the world’s most iconic institutions. Through chilling accounts from museum staff and visitors, Angell uncovers a hidden history of paranormal encounters especially linked to human remains and sacred objects taken from colonised peoples.
At once investigative and philosophical, this gripping book exposes the uneasy legacy of imperialism and asks what it means to house spirits and histories that were never willingly given.
