This monograph is the ninth of a series devoted to the description and analysis of life in Shanti Nagar, a village in the Union Territory of Delhi. Our research is based on holistic fieldwork carried out in 1957-59 and 1977-1978. Previous monographs, all published in the Anthropological Papers of the American Museum of Natural History, have dealt with social organization, economics, rites of passage, fertility and sterilization, elections, sickness and health, enculturation and education, and ghosts in the context of a woman's psychomedical case history. The present monograph places ghost illness, ghost possession, and poltergeist attacks in an historical, psychological, ecological, medical, ideological, and holistic ethnographic context. A descriptive and comparative case-study method is central to the analysis. Among the ghost-related topics that are covered are beliefs; causes; gender, age and caste distribution; sectarian differences (the Arya Samaj vs. Sanatan Dharma); and the recruitment, training, and methods of exorcists and curers.

Not everyone believes in ghosts, but ghostly encounters have been reported, in all sincerity, all over the world and for 3000 years at least. However, though everybody knows what is meant by seeing a ghost, few are aware that they fall into several distinct types, and seemingly always have.;First there are revenants, returning voluntarily or under duress to the world of the living. When these are recently-dead family or friends, one might well suspect wish fulfillment. Occasionally, though, revenants appear to complete strangers. Next there are haunters who always appear in the same place and may be seen by many people over time, usually people who do not know them - but who sometimes identify them later. Then there are crisis apparitions who contact someone close to them at the moment of (usually) death. There are also phantasms of people who are still alive; their significance becomes plain only later when they turn up in physical form. Besides all these there are doppelgangers, who may warn or give advice, extra-terrestrials, poltergeists and others besides. None of them is at all like the strange ectoplasm that allegedly appears in human form at seances.;What is actually going on during a ghost encounter is a complete mystery, and one which Hilary Evans explores in this book. He takes as his starting point some 200 reports of paranormal experiences, each with its own strange implications, and examines them from the perspectives of science, psychical research, folklore and religion. He concludes that explanations which do not involve the supernatural are even less probable than those which do.
