Abstract
Ghostlore is closely tied to judgements about the historical age of locations. Ghosts can be used to explain or create historical contexts, which can in turn be used to predict or generate ghost narratives in an interactive negotiation. Previously, urban environments were excluded from this process; current fieldwork also highlights the way ghosts interact with urban history.
