Shakespeare’s audiences were very interested in the ideas of witchcraft and the supernatural, and Banquo’s “visit” to the banquet remains an exciting scene even to today’s audiences.  Indeed, films about ghosts and paranormal activity are very popular with modern viewers.  

What are your ideas about this continuing fascination with ghosts, spirits, and hauntings?  Do you know of any examples? 

Is it possible there is another side of reality that humans rarely perceive? What is your view of it?
