Reports of paranormal experiences vary tremendously, but are often
associated with ghosts, haunted houses, and otherwise eerie
circumstances. There exist both classic and modern texts on ghosts
and haunted or possessed people, places and spaces; many discuss
traditional ideas regarding such phenomena or utilize now-outdated
research in highly academic and technical ways. This book offers a
very different approach in reviews provided by a leading-edge
research program devoted to who has ghostly experiences and why.
With new insights both global in scale and multidisciplinary in
scope, this collaboration by five researchers uncovers consistent
evidence that anomalous experiences represent a very real "Haunted
People Syndrome"-a term describing anomalous experiences that
manifest recurrently to the same percipients and are interpreted as
"ghostly"-with implications for future research across academia.
The participation of new citizen scientists (the field
investigators and researchers among us) is invited in furthering
the exploration of paranormal mysteries. Photos and figures
illustrating concepts and models are included, as is a glossary.
Parapsychologists and self-styled ghost-hunting organizations are
just two examples of people who seek out the existence of ghosts.
This resource, examines ghost hunting as a cultural and scientific
phenomenon, sidestepping the many issues surrounding the reality of
ghosts, and discussing the many and varied methods used by ghost
hunters. Taking the approach that there is no such thing as the
supernatural, only things we don't yet understand, the ghost
experience is examined through case studies; the forms and
functions that ghost hunters have taken down through history are
analyzed; key historical figures and their influence on the
research of ghostly phenomena are reviewed; ghost hunting in the
21st century, including the exploding phenomenon of Internet
ghost-hunting organizations, is discussed; and the advances in the
theory and technology of the parapsychology field are covered. For
those who are skeptical about the reality of ghosts but who want to
understand how so many individuals claim to have anomalous
experiences, this book reviews the data, offers insight into
logical explanations, and discusses why this is and has been for
centuries such an important issue to humans.
