| Jun 23, 2021 at 16:53 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | @jeffronicus If a ghost counts as astral projection, you could take that back even further to the ghost of Hamlet's father. Probably even earlier, I'm not sure how many ghosts in early fiction are representations of people who were known in life. | |

| Jun 22, 2021 at 17:41 | comment | added | jeffronicus | @MJ713 You can interpret it that way, but though the visitations are often described as "visions," the text of the story is explicit about Scrooge being taken places by spirits that travel "on the wings of the wind." Marley's ghost explains that his spirit is trapped within the counting house, but that the other three are not. Foreshadowing Scrooge's journeys, Marley's ghost explains that “It is required of every man that the spirit within him should walk abroad among his fellowmen, and travel far and wide; and if that spirit goes not forth in life, it is condemned to do so after death." | |
