“In the top corner of the window a pale, milky-white wisp is
rising almost to the top of our ten-foot ceiling…. I am startled
but not afraid…. Mostly, I am engrossed; I have never seen
anything like this before (or since) and it fascinates me.”
Dennis Waskul writes these lines—about his first-hand experience
with the supernatural—in the introduction to his beguiling book
Ghostly Encounters. Based on two years of fieldwork and interviews
with 71 midwestern Americans, the Waskuls’ book is a reflexive
ethnography that examines how people experience ghosts and
hauntings in everyday life. The authors explore how uncanny
happenings become ghosts, and the reasons people struggle with or
against a will to believe. They present the variety and character
of hauntings and ghostly encounters, outcomes of people telling
haunted legends, and the nested consequences of ghostly
experiences. Through these stories, Ghostly Encounters seeks to
understand the persistence of uncanny experiences and beliefs in
ghosts in an age of reason, science, education, and technology—as
well as how those beliefs and experiences both reflect and serve
important social and cultural functions.
