Ghosts and How to See Them

Ghosts and How to See Them brings together Peter Underwood’s approach to reported apparitions, illustrated with 100 photographs, many reproduced in colour and presented there for the first time. The book treats ghost-seeing as a matter of circumstance, attention and place, while drawing on Underwood’s long involvement with ghost investigation.

Alongside its visual material, the book includes a calendar of reported haunted ‘hot spots’ from around the world, giving the subject a geographical and seasonal framework. Rather than concentrating on one famous case, it offers a broad introduction to ghost reports and the settings in which people claim to encounter them, reflecting Underwood’s position within 20th-century British psychical research.
