A closer look
The afterlife apparently comes with an eternal wardrobe, a fact that seriously stressed out Victorian spiritualists. If spirits were supposedly made of ethereal energy, believers spent absurd amounts of time debating why they always showed up in seances wearing totally normal, non-transparent trousers. Prominent mystics wrote entire agonizing treatises trying to explain the metaphysical mechanics of 'spirit-clothing' to avoid the awkward implication of naked phantoms.
