= Welcome to ''Spectrology.org'' =

''Spectrology.org'' is an independent, collaborative wiki dedicated to documenting haunted heritage, folklore, and the cultural traces of the unseen.  The project exists to preserve stories, locations, and artefacts connected to haunting, treating them as a form of '''intangible cultural heritage''' ... Evidence of how people experience place, history, and presence.

“This is not a ghost-hunting site; it is a record of what refuses to disappear.”

Anyone can contribute to Spectrology.org all you need to do is '''[https://spectrology.org/index.php?title=Special:CreateAccount&amp;returnto=Main+Page create an account]''' to get started!
