A séance of data

The Haunting

Three chambers of the uncanny, each plotted and set in motion: the places America says are haunted, the wrecks and towns the living left behind, and the witch trials of Europe.

9,717 haunted places · a phantom fleet · thousands of the accused

Hauntings

9,717 spirits · Shadowlands

The Shadowlands index of haunted places in America, told nine ways — as whispers, a séance, an archive of redacted case files, a phosphor constellation.

Ghosts & Wrecks

Fleets · towns · the left-behind

What the living abandoned: a phantom fleet of shipwrecks, the towns that emptied out, and the chords that bind one haunted state to the next.

Witch Trials

Europe · the accused

The witch trials of Europe in five movements — congregation, embers, pyre, smoke, requiem — built from the historical record of the accused.
