Haunted Heritage is a fascinating scholarly examination of the
dynamics of ghost or paranormal tourism. Michele Hanks explores how
this phenomenon is a powerful site for the re-articulation and
re-configuring of ideas of heritage, epistemic authority, nation,
and belonging. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Hanks
delves into the anthropological, sociological, political,
historical, and cultural factors that drive this burgeoning
business. Using York, England, said to be "the most haunted city in
the world," as the base for her research, Hanks focuses on three
forms of ghost tourism: ghost walks, commercial ghost hunts, and
non-profit ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, comparing the
experience of York with other sites of ghost tourism globally. This
book will appeal to scholars interested in tourism, heritage, the
paranormal, visual cultural, British studies, or popular religion.
