Synopsis

This book is a history lesson. It is about “ghost excavations” at four haunted sites and what we learned from the experience. The objective is pure and simple. It is to show how, by questioning basic tenets of a “ghost hunting” paradigm, we can go beyond the contemporary reality of a field that is entertainment, and entertaining, and arrive at an investigative position of constructive research. In the process of this “excavation”, we learn what it was (is) to be and remain human.
