History[]

In the 1920s, The New York Ghost reported extensively on claimed sightings and Wizard Hunt for Gellert Grindelwald around the world, including Bratislava,[4] Paris, London,[5] New York, and Caxambu.[6]

It covered local incidents, such as a havoc caused by a Poltergeist in a Nashville diner,[7] as well as international changes, such as the legal Apparition age in Denmark.[5] It covered varying degrees of entertainment and academic subject matters, from listing Top Apparition locations in Canada[8] to discussing Korean Master Aurologists views on aura.[9]
