What if the ghosts said to walk among us aren’t just the stuff of old tales, but part of our shared human story? For over fifteen years, social philosopher G.V. Loewen has traveled through rural landscapes, sat with elders, and collected hundreds of firsthand accounts of encounters with the otherworldly. Drawing on a decade of fieldwork and narrative research into human anxieties, mortality, and the afterlife—as well as chance encounters with both the earthly and the potentially unearthly—Loewen blends personal experience, empirical observation, and philosophical insight to take readers on a journey through the unseen corners of our world and the curious beings said to inhabit them. In this unique compendium, you’ll explore the most common categories of supposed spirits, their reported intentions toward the living, and what these tales reveal about our deepest fears and desires. Yet beyond curiosity, Loewen uses these accounts as a serious lens on human consciousness itself: why do stories of the spirit world persist across cultures? What can they teach us about life, death, and the meanings we make of both? At once accessible and intellectually rigorous, engaging and unsettling, A Field Guide to Common Ghosts is more than a simple catalogue of spectral phenomena. It invites readers to step boldly into the shared space of imagination and ask not only what might lie beyond the veil, but what it truly means to be alive.
