        abstract = {It inspires paranormal enthusiasts to rush to the place to capture the supernatural spirit, thus paranormal investigation has taken place as trending of getting knowledge about the ghostly activities in the place. Paranormal Investigators are hobbyists who work to marry a scientistically framed perspective or pseudo- scientific in some cases with a spiritualist perspective in order to prove or disprove the notion of ghosts in an objective sense. A lot of investigators actually doubt that the paranormal could even be real, much less what the nature of it is. Using data gathered during long-term ethnographic fieldwork with English paranormal investigators, I trace the way the investigators' engagement with material culture reshapes their experience of doubt. Paranormal investigators are amateur sleuths studying the unsettling great beyond and esoteric occurrences hoping to bridge scientistic and spiritual perspectives in a quest to solve, once and for all, the elusive question of an objective substrate in the existence of ghosts. Paranormal experiences were significantly correlated with mental boundaries, traumas, negative life events.},
