I would also like to thank his demon kitten for providing the proper haunted atmosphere at my defense. • I thank Dr. Neill Matheson for the ghostly inspiration of his Gothic Literature class and for helping me return to the program. • I thank Dr. Tim Richardson for using his class to teach us how to write a conference proposal and deliver a conference paper – knowledge I have put to good use! • I thank my high school senior English teacher, Dr. Nancy Myers.

In ITC, the technology is possibly a factor. We know that our psi energy can influence the randomness of broad-spectrum processes such as high-frequency Random Event Generators (REG). In transform EVP, noise from which voice is formed is essentially the same kind of random energy, but it is expressed in the plasma or a transistor junction via stochastic resonance. In Direct Radio Voice (DRV), such as practiced by Bacci and Cardoso , the energy is probably more akin to the energy experienced by the Scole Group (new energy).

Degree awarded June 2012 ii © 2012 Andrew J. Beard iii DISSERTATION ABSTRACT Andrew J. Beard Doctor of Philosophy Department of English June 2012 Title: Horror Begins at Home: Family Trauma in Paranormal Reality TV This dissertation argues that paranormal reality television is a form of what some have referred to as “trauma television,” a site of struggle between meanings of family and the violence often found in the hegemonic nuclear family ideal. Programs such as A Haunting and Paranormal State articulate family violence and trauma through a paranormal presence in the heteronormative family home, working to make strange and unfamiliar the domestic and familial milieus in which their episodes take place.

Mothman on the Telephone: Collected bloggings of beeping creatures and electronic high strangeness by Regan Lee Introduction This is a sampling of various blog postings and articles I’ve written about Mothman and Bigfoot -- specifically, the beeping, electronic sounds sometimes reported to emanate from these creatures. It’s a “high strangeness” feature of Fortean and crypto phenomena that I find fascinating. I have not personally encountered Sasquatch or Mothman, but find myself particularly drawn to them. I know several people personally who have seen Bigfoot, and have no reason to disbelieve them. I choose to believe them, why not? I know them, I trust them. Many of the witnesses I’ve spoken to have years of experience camping, hunting, or living in rural areas. They know the wildlife, they know what they’re talking about. I doubt very much they mistook a bear or an elk for a Bigfoot. Seeing such a creature had a profound effect on them. I also think the evidence is strong, supporting the idea Sasquatch exists. So, those two things combined: eye witness accounts and physical evidence, gives me enough information to accept its existence. And if it’s somehow proven to not exist? Really, “oh well.” Seriously. “Oh well.” No harm done. Yet of course, how can we discount all those reports, all those encounters, all those casts and other evidence, all that lore? You can’t, as they say, prove a negative. Something has been experienced by witnesses, something defying explanation. Unless, of course, the explanation is: people have seen exactly what they say they saw.

Australian Journal of Parapsychology ISSN: 1445-2308 Volume 19, Number 1, Pp
© 2019 AIPR, Inc. Australian Journal of Parapsychology ISSN: 1445-2308 Volume 19, Number 1, pp. 5-43 “Meme-Spirited”: II. Illustrating the VAPUS Model for Ghost Narratives SHARON A. HILL ,BRIAN LAYTHE ,NEIL DAGNALL ,KENNETH DRINKWATER ,CIARÁN O’K EEFFE ,ANNALISA VENTOLA , &JAMES HOURAN Abstract: We continue our integrative review of nearly 20 years of sociocultural research and popular trends on ghosts, haunted houses, and poltergeists (collectively termed “ghostly episodes”) that commenced in Part I (Hill, O’Keeffe, Laythe, Dagnall, Drinkwater, Ventola, & Houran, 2018). That analysis characterized the powerful brand personality of ghost narratives in terms of their Versatility, Adaptability, Participatory nature, Universality, and Scalability. This VAPUS model emphasizes that these narratives serve as cultural memes which, in part, reflect interpersonal or group dynamics. We illustrate these themes via three analyses that explore the role of the media, the use of technology to legitimatize amateur organizations, and the resulting conflict between popularized ghost-hunting groups, skeptic organizations, and parapsychology. Optimistically, we expect the VAPUS model can guide the development of new means or methods that aim to delineate and even bridge some of the competing social forces that shape or sustain these narratives in the popular culture and thereby constructively advance research in this domain. Keywords: branding, engagement, ghost, haunt, media, meme, popular culture. INTRODUCTION Part I of this two-part article (Hill et al., 2018) explored how ghosts, haunted houses, and poltergeist-like disturbances (collectively denoted here as ghostly episodes )—as anomalous experiences and cultural narratives— are particularly appealing, meaningful, and enduring due to their capacity to foster emotional and rational engagement across diverse demographic populations, as well as their capability to promote social interaction.
