Ghosted: A History of Ghost Hunting and Why We Keep Looking, Part One | Guest Alice Vernon

In her new book, Ghosted: A History of Ghost Hunting and Why We Keep Looking, Alice Vernon sets out to chase the one thing she isn’t even sure exists—and discovers that the search for ghosts says more about the living than the dead.

What begins as a skeptic’s experiment becomes a haunting journey through centuries of belief. From candlelit Victorian séances to ghost hunts streamed on YouTube, she explores how our obsession with the afterlife has evolved—but never disappeared. Each new invention, from telegrams to EMF meters, becomes another way to reach across the void, to prove that love, grief, or even guilt can outlast death.

As she moves deeper into Britain’s most haunted places—churchyards, crumbling estates, and lonely moors—she begins to feel the same pull that’s gripped believers for generations. Maybe the ghosts aren’t what we think they are. Maybe they’re reflections of everything we’ve lost… and everything we still hope to find.

Part history, part investigation, Ghosted is a chilling, intimate exploration of why we keep trying to prove what we can’t explain—and why our search for the dead may really be a search for meaning among the living.
