The supernatural continues to be a feature of our modern world. The media reports ghostly encounters, supernatural TV and films continue to be popular genres, and professionalised groups and organisations offer commercial experiences of the otherworldly. It seems that regardless of scientific progress and rationale thought, the allure of the extraordinary still prevails.
SCSC invites contributions from across disciplines that explore issues in relation to the following themes:
- The supernatural in tourism, travel and events: addressing forms of the supernatural in tourism, travel and events, and its impact on heritage, place and community.
- The supernatural in media, journalism and popular culture: investigating the role of the media and journalism in reporting and engaging with supernatural encounters and belief
- The supernatural as profession and subculture: exploring the prevalence of contemporary and professionalised groups, individuals and organisations dedicated to researching and experiencing the supernatural.
On the first night of the conference delegates are invited to attend an industry panel session at Crathes Castle to discuss the future of supernatural tourism and heritage organisations. This will be followed by an evening meal and entertainment. All transport will be provided.
