A collection that combines academic reflections on ghost stories from the 17th century to the ghosts in the machine. This work associates primary texts with Anglo-American narratives, even when these belong to the Chinese or African tradition as in the case of the American appropriation of Zhang Yimou's adaptation of "Raise the Red Lantern."

"Do the dead still walk America's highways and houses? M.J. Wayland explores America's haunted heritage and takes the reader on a journey through fifty real ghost stories expertly researched from undiscovered archive materials."--back cover. " This book is a snapshot of the ghostly activity reported during the 1800s' but also one that provides an insight into the vast scale of paranormal activity. There are the hoaxes, clairvoyants and very wayout stories but we also gain a keen insight into the big stories of the day. The Robertson family, especially Clara became a local celebrity due to her experiences, the Hoffman family has hundreds (if not thousands ) of visitors traveling many miles to visit their haunted house and we have Mumler's Spririt Photographs that became a sensation in Boston and New York."--back cover

A natural history of the supernatural from Roger Clarke, lifelong investigator into England's creepiest real-life ghost stories 'Is there anybody out there?' No matter how rationally we order our lives, few of us are completely immune to the suggestion of the uncanny and the fear of the dark. The subject of whether ghosts exist has fascinated some of the finest minds in history and it remains a subject of overwhelming interest today. This is the first comprehensive, authoritative and readable history of the evolution of the ghost in the west, examining as every good natural history should, the behaviour of the subject in its preferred environment: the stories we tell each other. What explains sightings of ghosts? Why do they fascinate us? What exactly did the haunted see? What did they believe? And what proof is there? Taking us through the key hauntings that have obsessed the world from the poltergeist of Cock Lane through the true events that inspired The Turn of the Screw and the dark events of Borley Rectory right up to the present day, Roger Clarke unfolds a story of class conflict, charlatans and true believers. His surprising castlist ranges from Samuel Johnson to John Wesley, and from Harry Houdini to Adolf Hitler. Inspired by a childhood spent in two haunted houses, Roger Clarke has spent much of his life trying to see a ghost. Written as grippingly as the best ghost fiction, A Natural History of Ghosts takes us on an unforgettable hunt through the most haunted places of the last five hundred years and our longing to believe.

The ghost story 1840-1920: A cultural history examines the British ghost story within the political contexts of the long nineteenth century. By relating the ghost story to economic, national, colonial and gendered contexts' it provides a critical re-evaluation of the period. The conjuring of a political discourse of spectrality during the nineteenth century enables a culturally sensitive reconsideration of the work of writers including Dickens, Collins, Charlotte Riddell, Vernon Lee, May Sinclair, Kipling, Le Fanu, Henry James and M.R. James. Additionally, a chapter on the interpretation of spirit messages reveals how issues relating to textual analysis were implicated within a language of the spectral. This book is the first full-length study of the British ghost story in over 30 years and it will be of interest to academics, graduate students and advanced undergraduates working on the Gothic, literary studies, historical studies, critical theory and cultural studies.
