This anthology explores the spatial dimension and politics of
haunting. It considers how the 'appearance' of absence, emptiness
and the imperceptible can indicate an overwhelming presence of
something that once was, and still is, (t)here. At its core, the
book asks: how and why do certain places haunt us? Drawing from a
diversity of mediums, forms and disciplinary approaches, the
contributors to Spectral Spaces and Hauntings illustrate the
complicated ways absent presences can manifest and be registered.
The case studies range from the memory sites of a terrorist attack,
the lost home, a vanished mining town and abandoned airports, to
the post-apocalyptic wastelands in literary fiction, the
photographic and filmic surfaces where spectres materialise, and
the body as a site for re-corporealising the disappeared and dead.
In ruminating on the afteraffects of spectral spaces on human
experience, the anthology importantly foregrounds the ethical and
political imperative of engaging with ghosts and following their
traces.
Virginia and the District of Columbia are fertile ground for
serious and casual ghosthunters alike and have no shortage of
venues for paranormal investigation -- if visitors know where to

interested in visiting haunted sites as he leads readers on a
guided tour of the most haunted sites in the Old Dominion and the
nation's capital. A great many of these sites have some connection
to the Colonial era or to the Civil War, two defining elements in
the history of the region. Battlefields, cemeteries, tunnels,
caves, bridges, haunted highways, inns and taverns, lighthouses,
theatres, haunted cities like historic Winchester, Colonial
Williamsburg, and Washington, D.C., and all manner of other eerie
locales can be found in this novel and informative travel guide!
