In this social, historical and scientific exploration, Alice Vernon examines why our fascination with ghosts persists. The history of ghosts is ancient, but the history of active ghost-hunting is relatively recent. Investigations into the paranormal have evolved alongside technological innovations — from spirits at table-tipping séances to app-laden phones in haunted houses.
Vernon travels to some of the U.K.’s most haunted locations, asking: is the quest for ghosts really about the dead, or more about the living? Is it grief, the unknown, or perhaps our desire for significance? Ghosted shows that ghost-hunting reveals as much about us as it does about what we seek.
“Engaging … Ghosted explores the shifting balance of power between mediums and investigators—… [Vernon’s] real subject is the basic need to believe.” — New York Times“A lively, highly readable book.” — The Daily Mail
“Whether you believe in ghosts or are sceptical – this book will enthral… Ghosted is not really about ghosts at all – but about the living, and the grief which touches us all.” — Professor Alice Gregory
