Book Description

A wispy figure in a photograph. Objects overturned, broken, or missing. Movement in the attic. These are the sorts of things people report when they believe they have encountered a ghost. Are ghosts real, or just visions and sensations captured by an overactive imagination? This book will show readers not only some of the locations for famous hauntings, but also the science and technology that goes into proving, and disproving, encounters with spirits. Readers will discover inexplicable poltergeists and baffled families, as well as logical explanations such as infrasound and magnetic fields. They will be introduced to the field of parapsychology, and learn how ghosts and hauntings have permeated the horror genre of so many forms of storytelling, including social media.

Book Description

Ghosts and other supernatural phenomena are widely represented throughout modern culture. They can be found in any number of entertainment, commercial, and other contexts, but popular media or commodified representations of ghosts can be quite different from the beliefs people hold about them, based on tradition or direct experience. Personal belief and cultural tradition on the one hand, and popular and commercial representation on the other, nevertheless continually feed each other. They frequently share space in how people think about the supernatural. In Haunting Experiences, three well-known folklorists seek to broaden the discussion of ghost lore by examining it from a variety of angles in various modern contexts. Diane E. Goldstein, Sylvia Ann Grider, and Jeannie Banks Thomas take ghosts seriously, as they draw on contemporary scholarship that emphasizes both the basis of belief in experience (rather than mere fantasy) and the usefulness of ghost stories. They look closely at the narrative role of such lore in matters such as socialization and gender. And they unravel the complex mix of mass media, commodification, and popular culture that today puts old spirits into new contexts.
