As an archaeologist, he has unearthed past material remains in excavations and site surveys in England, Mexico, and at various sites in the United States (including Eastern South Dakota, the Tennessee River Valleys, and in Pennsylvania). His anthropological fieldwork includes the studies of “spirits” in the religious beliefs of the afterlife among various cultural groups in Mexico (Mixtec, Zapotec, Lacandon, Nahuatl, and Otomi). His acting career includes “ghosting” performances of various characters and scenarios in more than 35 movies, TV shows, and documentaries. edit

This paper outlines a paradigm shift for the investigation of haunted spaces/places situated in performance-based research. It also suggests, based on a concept of haunting itineraries, that some haunting presences may be 'dividual-distributed personhood' who may haunt several different locations. It is also suggested that this type of haunting is a form of intangible cultural heritage.

Public narratives of the past exist in multiple formats and in various disciplines, some of which are limited in narrative themes (History), while others are misinformed (Pseudo-archaeology). These limiting and misinformed narratives are frequently associated with particular contemporary social, economic, and political/paranormal motives. And there is also the ethnographic interpretation of a site, its archaeological remains in the present, and its different archives of embedded/attached memories that are associated with the location.

"A repeated gesture, an aged object, a footprint….all of these things, material and immaterial, might drag something of the no longer now, the no longer live, into the present, or drag the present into the no longer now". Rebecca Schneider (2014:45). "But if there is such a thing as embodied history that replays in the present….be (it) a kind of living archaeology….? (Ibid: 60). "In a simple direct sense, archaeology is a science that must be lived, must be 'seasoned with humanity'. Dead archaeology is the driest dust that blows".

Archaeological fieldwork has never been a completely successful experiment in 'working with' what remains of the past in the present. If "the present is made of all the remains of the past which are still surviving within the materiality of our present time" Olivier (2019:15), one "stressing all kinds of processes of emergence" (Ibid:15), archaeology still has ruptures (not 'eruptions') in its knowledge production. It does this by narrowing the field of both inquiry and documentation of process by leaving 'remainders' in its exploration of archaeological space amid the avoidances of potential archaeological experience. The result is a profoundly inaccurate archaeological recreation (Bonnichsen 1973). If "the archaeological past is only the materiality of the present" (Olivier 2013), what happens if and when percolating sensory experiences occur in the field of play? Each archaeological present is always transforming its own version of the past because it only 'works with' particular remainders, not all that remains; and certainly not the sensory elements that may be still embedded in the archaeological strata. The memory of its 'normal' immersions into the presence of the past (its multiple articulations in the present) always have left remainders, reminders of what else that present presence of the past still offers. Archaeology continues to be 'elitist', as it leaves behind 'ghostly' remains in 'etic' footprints of its ephemeral occupations of past spaces.

• This is to treat archaeology as theater, and ghost research as archaeological theater. It becomes a 'digging' tool to excavate and unearth these not so distant memories. • As Michael Shanks, archaeologist (Stanford University) has said: " We revive fragments of the past as real time event/performance… our intervention revives and animates fragments of the past ". In a 'ghost excavation', we go beyobd " interpretation at the trowel's edge " to meaning at the manifestation of the memory. " Its…memories, a story of identity, distant screams for recognition frozen in time, then fleetingly glanced before they are 'finally' confined to history. Shit like this isn't everyone's cup of tea but for those of us that give a fuck, this is our archaeology. This is our fucking history " WD Drax, 2014 Scattered Pictures.

The post-modern conception of the cemetery, as a landscape setting, is viewed as a polysemic, multi-vocal entanglement of various performance trails that invoke historical antecedents identified with the rural cemetery movement of the 19 th century. This movement has no semblance to the recent popular tropes of ghost hunting or ghost tours. Various examples of these " cemetrails " will be presented.

Do paranormal investigations, by introducing new ideas, behaviors, and technologies “play the ghost”, rather than “play to the ghost”. Performances must be about context-specific scenarios relative to a particular layer of past experience and memory. This book will “excavate” that possibility by revealing the consequences of these non-site-specific investigations that must differ from one haunted location to another. The use of the “Stanislavsky Method” during performance practices at haunted locations is introduced that may help to ‘unearth’ context-specific haunting phenomena.

Winchester, England, with a history dating back thousands of years, extensive archaeological excavations there spanning several decades, and a storied place seeped in legendary deeds, emotional histories, and often tragic events, is one such landscape of ‘high strangeness’. Personal experiences of that ‘high strangeness’ will be recounted.

The vampire is an enduring figure in literature and Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1897), as a particular performance of a vampire, has never been out of print; yet, there is no single, universal definition of a vampire. Each culture, and each author, has added (or deleted) vampire traits and behaviors, modifying Stoker’s version of Dracula as a vampire. This book is about a personal perspective on Stoker’s vampire and how that perspective has been altered through time, through peripatetic walks and explorations of landscape in England and Scotland that inspired and inspirited Bram Stoker’s literary geographical background of Dracula as a particular vampiric character.

There is a need for character emplacement as as a socially, interactional entanglement with past fields of memory and social behavior. A new type of fieldwork, called 'ghost excavation', focuses on the human past as continuing performance practices.

The production of space is a view of landscape as a process of creating and negotiating social interactions within particular spaces. What remains of past productions are the traces and vestiges, as cultural expressions or 'signs' of these productions. A 'performance excavation' works with what remains of these past productions. Fieldwork involves a recovery of what remains as sensorial materializations of these past productions. This becomes an analysis of archaeological 'haunted' space.

From the unearthed spaces that contain the fragmented remains of the past, through the social realities of other cultures, my journey as anthropologist/archaeologist is an immersion into various mysteries. These are found in a series of ruined landscapes of memory. This memory stratigraphy crosses spaces and through time to enact different characterizations and immersions that create a 'stage' that becomes a 'haunted theater'.

The Bedford Springs Resort and Spa is haunted. This haunting takes the form of two materializations. First are the historical documents, objects, and photographs on display there, the things left behind. The second involves those presences who have remained behind and/or have returned, former guests who continue to partake of the ‘Bedford Springs Experience’. These returning guests are not professional ‘ghosts’, those encountered on ‘ghost hunts’ or sensed by mediums. They are also not commercial ‘ghosts’, those marketed by the resort for their economic potential. These ghosts are those frequently encountered by both staff and guests during the daily activities and routine tasks performed there. They add an uncanny element to the social character that is the Bedford Springs Resort and Spa.

At Bedford Springs, seeped in and surrounded by re-collected things, beings, and atmospheres, remembrance comes in multiple forms: historical documents and photographs, in the exhibition and use of antique furniture, in the daily practices of a contemporary, modern resort. It even comes in the form of ‘ghost tours’ that emphasize the archaeological and anthropological routes and roots of layers of embedded memories. Finally, it materializes as ‘ghostly presences’ who remain attached to that unique and lasting Bedford Springs experience.

From the unearthed spaces that contain the fragmented remains of the past, through the social universes of other worlds, a solitary anthropologist is immersed in archaeological mysteries. These are found in a series of ruined landscapes of memory. This is the journey of an actor, quite human in his responses, that crosses spaces and through time to enact different characterizations and immersions. These acts create a stage that becomes his “haunted theatre”.
The face in the mirror is but one mask that is worn in this journey through the realms of fact, imagination, exploration, and excavation. The path leads forward and backward in an unfolding timeline. The study where he writes is a place that does not always find science or reason in the usual sense. The result is a journey of one individual’s measurement of a life in a landscape of “ruins”!

As archaeology continues to be defined by the medium of survey and 'digging' for things, have other forms of presence been precluded? Why is there an obsession with absence, when other fields of presence have not been fully explored? In the routine 'taskscape' of fieldwork, how is the past kept 'alive' as some sense of reality? If, as Kittler (1999) has said, that the "realm of the dead is as large as the storage and transmission capabilities of a given culture" (1999:13), how do we bridge those past storages of presence with a process of immersion that does not only depend on the trope of survey and excavation? Can archaeology illuminate its present condition through engagements in which there is continuing transforming temporal affinities? Such an approach alters the "time of things" (Gonzalez-Ruibal 2016), expanding it to a co-eval time of a presence of 'humanness' (Barrett 2016). Rather than seeing from a traditional archaeological POV, we might sense-(ably) focus on field performance that allows for resonance, echo, and a sense of some form becoming present. The medium of fieldwork becomes a model of archaeology as transduction in entangled movements of social relations. It is a medium of attention that asks how subjects, objects, and field emerge in sensual relations . It is an understanding of the archaeological record as the presence (not absence) of some sense of emergent humanness. Fieldwork becomes a 'sensescape' of context-specific ruptures This opens the field to better reflect expanding emergences of situations and events, to what Ranciere (2004) has called "the distribution of the sensible": the actualization of distinctive, entangled mediums of time and senses of presence. Such different lines of sensual data can be used to triangulate a social terrain, producing an expanded multi-tiered map of sensory and material assemblages. This transduction works across the very present it is calling into being. This is not just about spatial distribution, but an entanglement between different genres of execution, experience, transmission, and data. The emergence of forms of life, based on the signatures of their alteration in archaeological space, becomes a different sense of the archaeological record. Papers that deal with alternative types of transforming mediums that engage the contemporary archaeological record are encouraged.
