Experiences, conceptualized as a form of haunting, provide a framework for the recall of various incidents of personal memory and emotional resonance at specific places. This serves two purposes:
It creates a personal landscape characterized by elements of spookiness (once dense forests, abandoned structures and mineshafts, coal patches); uncertainities that result in episodic haunting dramas (the socioeconomic impact of ethnic migrations); and ghostly presences (interpretations of these ethnic groups as a response to their physical surroundings);
It provides a framework (in the 2nd part) for the analysis of other similiar haunted landscapes. A methodology is used that incorporates techniques derived from archaeology, ethnography, and performance studies. In doing so, it introduces a new multidisciplinary research methodology called Ethnoarchaeoghostology.
This book is a dedicatory salute, however humble, to the achievements and daily struggles of those who came before to inhabit this Mahanoy Area. These hauntings fill-in the blank spaces between the words in historical narratives, and thus gives the reader a different image of events in local and regional social histories. In doing so, they show that greatness is not measured by the content of what we do, but how, on a daily basis, we do it.
Born and raised in Mahanoy City, the “heart” of the Mahanoy Area, John Sabol left for college in the late 1960’s and did not return to the area until 1992. In the interim, he has been participating in, and directing scientific field investigations (in archaeology, ethnography, folklore, historical, and ghost research) since 1969, where he worked at the archaeological excavations at Wolvesey Palace, in Winchester, England. It was at Winchester where he also had his first paranormal experience. He has also been an actor, appearing in more than 35 movies, tv shows, “soaps”, and commercials. He has also taught at various universities in Mexico for more than 11 years. He has written numerous articles, and has published in various scientific journals, among them Tennessee Anthropologist, and the Ft. Meade Archaeological Research Center. He has a M.A. in Anthropology, and a B.A. in Sociology. He is currently approved as an adjunct professor of Anthropology at Harrisburg Area Community College in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. He currently resides in Mahanoy City with his daughter Melissa, and his two lady friends, Lacy (a dog), and Tazia (a cat).
