carl jung collected works (mega)

...as well as just where to watch them in general.

sooo... I don't know if this has been done yet but I've decided to make a sort of compliation of google drives for all the different remakes of BBC Ghosts. Just in case it might be helpful, because through my other posts, I've learned that quite a few people don't know there are other versions of Ghosts. This post will be updated frequently.

Disclaimer: I don't own any of these google drives, and I've mostly encountered them through Tumblr and Reddit posts so thank you so much to the people who made them!!

BBC Ghosts (UK Original)

Found on this Tumblr post. We thank you, o kind one. If you live in Britain, pretty sure it's up on BBC iPlayer.

CBS Ghosts (US)

Season 1~5 (thanks to @them-mustangsyt):

Link to just the fifth season(thanks to @them-mustangsyt!)—this link isn't really needed anymore but I kept it anyway, haha :

If you live in America, you can watch the recent episodes for free on the CBS website. The whole series is up on Paramount+, and apparently the earlier seasons are on Netflix in some countries.

ARD Ghosts (Germany)

(English subtitles are included.) Found this link on a Tumblr post—sorry to report that I don't know who made it, and have forgotten which post I've sourced this from. I do know who did the translations—that would be @rovermcfly. The English-speaking community thanks you. If you can speak German, the episodes are available for free on the ARD website.

Ghosts France

(English subtitles are included.) I sourced this from the same Tumblr post as the German remake. Unfortunately, I don't know who made this drive or who translated. I'm pretty sure you can watch this on Disney+ also... but only for some regions.

Ghosts Greece

I have two drives for this one, here's the first:

Has up to the third episode (English subtitles are included). Translations and Google drive by @ratnix. Once again, the English speakers thank you. Here's the second one:

Has up to the seventh episode with English subtitles. (To be noted: the video quality isn't too good.) The drive was made by a certain Elena on Facebook. Thank you to @welcometochristmasland for finding it!

If you know Greek (and live in Greece), the episodes are available on the Star TV website. Pretty sure they're free but can't tell 'cause I don't speak Greek.

Ghosts Australia

I found this one on this Tumblr post. You can also watch it on 10 Play for free with an account (thank you to @melodypowers65 for the information!).

Here's a link with English, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, and Dutch subtitles(a big thank you to @them-mustangsyt) :

"The Saint Heron Library is home to our archival collection of primarily rare, out of print, and 1st edition titles by Black & brown authors, poets, & artists," she captioned on Instagram.

Throughout time, when certain aspects of physical media aren't accessible, a digital archive library is crucial in a society driven by fast-paced media consumption, where the depth and nuance of marginalized voices can easily be overlooked or forgotten.

...

In our digital age, where much of our interaction with media is limited to clicks and reposts, Knowles’ digital archive provides a safe space for scholarly and artistic work that might otherwise be lost. Saint Heron’s library aims to foster a space where the wisdom and creativity of these “great minds” can thrive, supported by an infrastructure that champions preservation and accessibility. The library will not only serve as a place of significant works but also act as a catalyst for more conversations around artists, scholars and enthusiasts. "As the market and demand for these books, zines, and catalogues rises, we would like to play a small part in creating free access to the expansive range of critical thought and expression by these great mindsss," Knowles said.

biblegateway makes available most translations. ethical, responsible versions used in academia include the nrsvue (here with commentary) and the jps (here, on sefaria, with hebrew notations). software like accordance is helpful for those familiar with languages.

on languages—here is more on learning biblical hebrew. here are my recs on hittite, sumerian, akkadian (huehnergard, caplice), ugaritic, and aramaic.

holding the narrative alongside introductory material is meaningful—here is a list of many, and here is the book assigned in most syllabi. here is yale’s free, open lectures
