2. A Natural History Of Ghosts
500 Years of Hunting for Proof
A wide-ranging, accessible survey of reported apparitions and haunting traditions across history that places ghost stories in their cultural and scientific contexts, recounts notable cases, and examines how witnesses, investigators and society have interpreted them; it weighs folklore, psychology, mistaken perception and deliberate fraud against the persistence of unexplained experiences, showing how changing beliefs about death, the afterlife and the limits of observation shape both the form of ghost accounts and the efforts to explain them.
