The Haunted

"More than a mere catalogue of famous hauntings, The Haunted moves from the medieval period to the present to examine our changing perceptions of, and interaction with, ghosts over time. It explores the fact that, for all the intellectual and scientific advances of the last five hundred years, the belief in ghosts remains vibrant and socially relevant today. By uncovering and explaining the history of ghosts, this book helps us understand why we continue to feel haunted by the people of the past."--Jacket.
