Back when it was believed the Earth was flat, did they think it would be possible for a ghost the fly through the Earth and see he underside of it?

Im not suggesting ghosts are real OR that the Earth is flat. But people did once believe these things. Is there any accounts of how ghosts might shed light on what's on the other side of a flat earth (since they can fly through solid matter)?

So... I gotta ask, how did you come up with this question? It is... a very bizarre one, to be frank, being so incredibly specific in its formulation... I would seriously suggest that you resubmit without the whole ghost part, and instead focus a little more broadly on beliefs about 'the other side'. That seems to be what you are really interested in, so it opens up the question much better, and if a culture had a belief like that involving ghosts, it will likely be included in the answer anyways. If the Ghost component is an essential part, well, best of luck, but I do fear it might be a limiting factor on getting an answer to your question.
