Paranormal investigation has been a narrative preoccupation within horror films for quite some time, yet the context of the 21st century and the rise of digitization have raised renewed questions concerning the evidentiary status of audio-visual technologies and their capacity for revelation. In exploring the ways in which paranormal investigation has figured within contemporary horror, this dissertation argues that the inherent ghostly qualities of film, television, video, and the Internet are exploited in diverse ways, figuring the medium itself as a spectral conduit. This spectrality manifests itself differently from medium to medium, highlighting unique articulations of haunting across media. As such, paranormal investigation in contemporary horror situates the ghost as a transmedial figure, one that exhibits unique medium-specific degrees of haunting depending upon its mode of visualization. In presenting differing instantiations of haunting within distinct media forms, paranormal investigation presents us with a composite image of current understandings of the ontology of the ghost as well as a reflexive analysis of the revelatory role of contemporary media. This investigative enterprise betrays a desire to visualize the imperceptible, an epistephilic drive to bring the supernatural within the bounds of knowledge. At the same time, paranormal investigation demonstrates a persistent investment in media as compensatory vision, in their ability to access and document that which escapes our perceptive capabilities.
