Talking the Psychology of a Haunt with Dr. Travis Langley

Following our chat with Dr. Margee Kerr about the Sociology of Fear, and Why We Love To Be Scared, psychologist Dr. Travis Langley joins the show to discuss the mental health of a haunt. How do hauntings impact the living from a psychological standpoint? And psychologically why might a ghost stick around and haunt a spot? How do haunting relate to therapy, and when does a haunt go from healthy to pathological?

Travis is a distinguished professor of psychology at Henderson State University, is best-known as the author of the acclaimed book Batman and Psychology: A Dark and Stormy Knight. He has edited numerous Popular Culture Psychology anthologies. And this conversation follows our chat with Dr. Margee Kerr about the Sociology of Fear, and Why We Love To Be Scared.
