Recenzii
’Most people have heard of ghosts: popular culture is full of them. Many people will know of someone who has seen a ghost or had a ghostly experience. Sometimes, people feel haunted, whether by tragedy or by a sense of loss. But, for a few, paranormal activity is normal activity. People do not just live with ghosts as a cultural or metaphorical or emotional figure: they actually live with ghosts. In this extraordinary book, Caron Lipman deals with extraordinary phenomena in ordinary life, in the home. Rich in testimony, ever sensitive to people’s experience, she reveals how the people who live with ghosts learn to accommodate them - and how, consequently, we all deal with strangers and strangeness in our lives.’ Steve Pile, The Open University, UK ’What does it mean to share your home with a ghost? Caron Lipman’s answers to this question are thought-provoking and insightful. Foregrounding people’s own experiences and beliefs in her exploration of the uncertain boundary between material and immaterial geographies, she challenges much current thinking about home and subjectivity in this highly original and beautifully written book.’ Ann Varley, UCL (University College London), UK 'Large portions of this book, especially the interviews with the experients, will be of great interest to students of folklore, and should be of interest to psychical researchers and one often gets the sense that there are important insights here'. The Magonia Review of Books

Descriere
This book sets out to explore the questions posed by the reality of living in a ’haunted home’ and attends to the ways in which households in England and Wales understand their experience of haunting in relation to ideas of subjectivity, gender, materiality, memory, knowledge and belief. It explores home as a place both dynamic and differentiated, illuminating the complexity of ’everyday’ experience - the familiarity of the strange as well as the strangeness of the familiar - and the ways in which home continues to be configured as a distinctive space.
