There have been quite a few horror novels about scientists hunting ghosts with technology, or various scientific attempts to investigate haunted houses. “The Haunting of Hill House” and “Hell House” being probably the most notable. And there was a time when people really did that. Set up cameras and other equipment to get scientific evidence of the existence of ghosts. Harry Price being one of the most famous of the real-life ghost hunters.
Do you ever read stuff about supposedly real hauntings? Or allegedly real encounters with ghosts? Do you have any favourite books on these subjects?
