Blood Bones and Spirits

Overview

A 1974 8mm documentary by Gary Seaman on spiritual practices in Taiwan ("Po Soul" ritual) where spirits of ghosts are drawn out into a ritual chair, then the bones of the person who determined to be offended are dug up, the body restored in clay, and a shaman performs other rituals to appease the spirit. 8mm film transferred to video, possibly narrated by the author. Originally from the University of Kansas film library collection.
