Research and Investigative Interests
The focus of the C.A.S.P.E.R. Research
Center is defining the parameters of a hauntiography: How are we to representing
hauntings as the material cultural remains of the past. We are interested in:
- Forms of media and personal engagements at field locations
- Real time event/process of research and investigation
- Hybridization of disciplines as a multivariate approach
- Deep structural links: Past cultures/ethnic traditions to contemporary
cultural practices
- Haunt Script Development
- Performance-based investigations
- Theatre and Ethnoarchaeoghostology
- Fields of Influence and Haunt Strata depositional processes
- Social programming, “blogging”, and wiki-wiki development
- Photography and Ethnoarchaeoghostology
- Peripatetic Video Surveys
- “Noiseuses” Audio Surveys
- Moral Delegation and Mediation
- Evidential “Trustworthiness”
- Development of a ghost and Haunt Behavior Paradigm
- Field Metrology Studies at Haunted Locations
- Cultural Bricolage Transformation and their Implications to Ghost Research
- “Think Map” Visualization, Haunt Matrixing and Networks
