In recent years, there has been a new trope for understanding archaeological practices. This is a movement away from a reliance on a past that is dead, buried, and hidden. This is an archaeology of the contemporary past, a concern for surface remains that involves a dual process of assembling and re-assembling. In ghost research, we can use this contemporary past practice to help us understand a haunting. We do this by assembling socio-cultural entanglements that connect us to similar entanglements from the past. This is creative fieldwork, the making of relational archaeologies that can provide numerous connections that flow out of entangled streams of experience between a collapsed past and present actuality. What emerges is a re-assemblage of what still remains, and haunts us, in those spaces where the past intervenes in the present (“haunted sites”).

Ghost Research is archaeological work that requires specific field practices. This book introduces the investigative techniques of a "ghost archaeology". This is defined as a scientific discipline of the "ordinary", a search for the repetitive patterns of cultural behavior that can be unearthed during an field investigation. Six case studies of cultural hauntings are presented which illustrate the usefulness of archaeological methodology and techniques in field research. The investigation of ghostly presence at Gettysburg, in the anthracite coal region, at Eastern State Penitentiary in Philadelphia, and a Civil War haunting in Petersburg, Virginia are cited. These investigations show how potential evidential data can be uncovered, if only the investigators would maintain an archaeological sensibility in their fieldwork operations.

This book is a ghost story, meant to be read on cold, dark, windy, and snow-covered wintry nights. These are not traditional tales of haunted houses, but rather are personal narratives of cultural hauntings of long forgotten histories of ethnic struggles, and Native American beliefs. It is an image of a landscape (and its people) that goes far deeper than the mere surface manifestations of ruined and abandoned structures, and the bits and pieces of broken dreams and aspirations. This is a different kind of embedded narrative. It is an excavation that penetrates to the very heart of ghostly drama. Experiences, conceptualized as a form of haunting, provide a framework for the recall of various incidents of personal memory and emotional resonance at specific places. This serves two purposes: It creates a personal landscape characterized by elements of spookiness (once dense forests, abandoned structures and mineshafts, coal patches); uncertainities that result in episodic haunting dramas (the socioeconomic impact of ethnic migrations); and ghostly presences (interpretations of these ethnic groups as a response to their physical surroundings); It provides a framework (in the 2nd part) for the analysis of other similiar haunted landscapes. A methodology is used that incorporates techniques derived from archaeology, ethnography, and performance studies. In doing so, it introduces a new multidisciplinary research methodology called Ethnoarchaeoghostology. This book is a dedicatory salute, however humble, to the achievements and daily struggles of those who came before to inhabit this Mahanoy Area. These hauntings fill-in the blank spaces between the words in historical narratives, and thus gives the reader a different image of events in local and regional social histories. In doing so, they show that greatness is not measured by the content of what we do, but how, on a daily basis, we do it.

Researchers can uncover far more information about ghosts and haunted places by exploring the site's layers (literal and figurative) of history.Gettysburg has been called "acre for acre the most haunted battlefield" in the United States. This book unearths the veracity of that perception. The excavation will involve "digging deeper" into the multiple layers of haunting uncertainties that may exist on the battlefield and in the town. This book also outlines a new research strategy and field methodology that can be used by the serious investigator to document these multiple haunted layers of uncertainty. This approach, called "P.O.P." (Participate-Observe-Perform), is based on the author's decades of experience (both in the field and on "stage") in the disciplines of archaeology, cultural anthropology (ethnography), and performance studies (including acting in films, on television, and in theatre). A "ghost excavation" that incorporates the "P.O.P." technique is an iterative process that can be used at any haunted location, not merely one that is historically multi-layered.

This book is part of a series of ethnographic studies in cultural hauntings and ghostly landscapes. The first book, Ghost Excavator: Unearthing the Drama in the Mine Fields, was a personal excavation of the haunted Mahanoy Area. In this second book, a theory of cultural hauntings is presented that serves as a framework for investigative fieldwork. Specific techniques are introduced as a means of scientific practices to evaluate the data observed and recorded at haunted locations. This book is meant to form the infrastructure of a developing ghost science, one built from the "bottom-up". The integrated symmetrical approach of theory and scientific practice that is outlined here is a beginning point for the continuing evolution of the ghost science of the future. This search and analysis of haunting phenomena is seen as an approach that can be participated in by the many and who, through their continuing efforts, will help fill-in the "blanks" of a "ghost map" of what Shakespeare has called the "undiscover'd country".

A major focus of ghost excavation, as opposed to ghost "hunting", is an archaeology of experience. The emergence of this experience is unearthed through the investigative engagement of haunted space. One aspect of this engagement is performance, which requires a specific sociocultural and historical context of understanding. This context of understanding must be understood in terms of layers of meaning. Gettysburg is used as a specific example of the use of performative and dramatical activity. Each of these activities performed at Gettysburg predisposes a genre,a set of beliefs, practices, social relations, manifestations, and locations which together define categorically what it is that is manifesting on the battlefield, and what interpretations are being used to understand these performative cultural practices. The genres of performative action at Gettysburg are important because they are located at places on the battlefield where belief systems become mobilized into actual practice. This book will explore various haunting uncertainties and cultural situations associated with ghostly activity, and the implications of these performances as they are enacted by ghost hunters, Civil War re-enactors, the tourism industry, and the "ghosts" themselves.

If 'ghosts' are perceived as real, why is the 'hunt' for them still 'chained' to 19th century sensitivities (through a 'ghost technology') and sensibilities (a 'ghost culture' epistemology)? This is a book about this ghost research mythology. But it is also about what still lies ahead (not 'beyond') for the serious investigator, that exploration of the 'Other' (ontology). This is not about the 'weekend hunter', 'ghost' tourist, or 'paranormal' hobbyist. It is about what 'materializes' when we turn away from 'ghost tech' toward a more sense(able) approach to documenting past human cultural presence.

Haunted Heritage is a fascinating scholarly examination of the dynamics of ghost or paranormal tourism. Michele Hanks explores how this phenomenon allows for the re-articulation and re-configuring of ideas of heritage, epistemic authority, nation, and belonging. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, Hanks delves into the anthropological, sociological, political, historical, and cultural factors that drive this burgeoning business. Using York, England, said to be “the most haunted city in the world,” as the base for her research, Hanks focuses on three forms of ghost tourism: ghost walks, commercial ghost hunts, and non-profit ghost hunts and paranormal investigations, comparing the experience of York with other sites of ghost tourism globally. This book will appeal to scholars interested in tourism, heritage, the paranormal, visual cultural, British studies, or popular religion.

This book is a history lesson. It is about “ghost excavations” at four haunted sites and what we learned from the experience. The objective is pure and simple. It is to show how, by questioning basic tenets of a “ghost hunting” paradigm, we can go beyond the contemporary reality of a field that is entertainment, and entertaining, and arrive at an investigative position of constructive research. In the process of this “excavation”, we learn what it was (is) to be and remain human.
