+Many ghost legends have a dual structure. There is the “ghostly” part,
+which recounts a haunting or the appearance of an apparition, possibly
+even to the narrator of the story. Then there is the “historical” part, which
+comments on the background of the apparition, possibly explaining why
+the haunting is taking place or why the apparition is making its presence
+known, often because of some past event in the “real” world
