Susan Owens traces changing ideas about ghosts from the medieval period into the present, showing how each era imagined the dead according to its own fears, beliefs, literature, folklore, theatre, film, and visual culture. Organized chronologically, the book moves from restless corpses and religious anxiety to Gothic fiction, spiritualism, psychology, and modern haunting. Its central purpose is cultural history: understanding what ghost stories reveal about the societies that keep telling them.
