Based on ethnographic research, this book examines the paranormal investigation subculture in the US. Presenting interviews with investigators, it explores their reasons for getting involved, the interpretive processes by which they ‘sense’ spirits, and the ways in which these processes are influenced by gendered and classed power dynamics.
