This book is a study of how people collaboratively interpret events
or experiences as having paranormal features, or as evidence of
spiritual agency. The authors study recordings of paranormal
research groups as they conduct real life investigations into
allegedly haunted spaces and the analyses describe how, through
their talk and embodied actions, participants collaboratively
negotiate the paranormal status of the events they experience.By
drawing on the study of the social organisation in everyday
interaction, they show how paranormal interpretations may be
proposed, contested and negotiated through conversational and
embodied practices of the group. The book contributes to the
sociology of anomalous experience, and explores its relevance to
other social science topics such as dark tourism, participation in
religious spaces and practices, and the attribution of agency. This
book will therefore be of interest to academics and postgraduate
researchers of language and social interaction; discourse and
communication, cultural studies; social psychology, sociology of
religious experience; parapsychology, communication and
psychotherapy.
