Manifestation -- Geography of haunting -- Seeking ghosts -- Explanation -- Debating ghosts --All in the mind -- Representation -- Imitating the dead -- Projecting ghosts -- Treading the boardsand under the covers -- The future for ghosts.

The Haunted is the first exhaustive cultural history of ghosts in England, also exploring thesubject in Europe and America. Rather than merely a catalogue of famous hauntings, this book focuses on the changingperception of and interaction with ghosts at different social levels from the medieval period to the present. Ghosts help us understand some surprising continuities and changes in society over time; belief in them has been manipulated for political and religious purposes, generated social panics and scandals, been a perennial source of literary inspiration and learned investigation. This book explores the ideas that, for all the intellectual and scientific advances of the last five centuries, the belief in ghosts continues to be vibrant and socially relevant today, and that anunderstanding of the history of ghosts helps explain why we continue to feel haunted by the people of the past.
