America's Leading Physicians Share Stories They Can't Forget
âIn the top corner of the window a pale, milky-white wisp is rising almost to the top of our ten-foot ceilingâ¦. I am startled but not afraidâ¦. Mostly, I am engrossed; I have never seen anything like this before (or since) and it fascinates me.â

Dennis Waskul writes these linesâabout his first-hand experience with the supernaturalâin the introduction to his beguiling book Ghostly Encounters. Based on two years of fieldwork and interviews with 71 midwestern Americans, the Waskulsâ book is a reflexive ethnography that examines how people experience ghosts and hauntings in everyday life. The authors explore how uncanny happenings become ghosts, and the reasons people struggle with or against a will to believe. They present the variety and character of hauntings and ghostly encounters, outcomes of people telling haunted legends, and the nested consequences of ghostly experiences.

Through these stories, Ghostly Encounters seeks to understand the persistence of uncanny experiences and beliefs in ghosts in an age of reason, science, education, and technologyâas well as how those beliefs and experiences both reflect and serve important social and cultural functions.
