Spirits of Place

The Rev Alan Walker discusses how the Church of England tried to come to terms with renewed interest in ghosts.


The Rev Alan Walker discusses how the Church of England tried to come to terms with both the renewed interest in ghosts and haunted places and the growth in the request for exorcisms in the early 1970s. He puts this in the context of a suppressed church report on Spiritualism and the development of place-memory theories as portrayed in Nigel Kneale’s 1972 TV play The Stone Tape
