"How do I cite ghosts?"

 

First of all:

John Adams (spirit), seance through medium Name, Location, Date.

Second, it comes up more than you'd expect.

 

 

 

Questions Raised

  • why do bibliographers even have this set up?
  • Why have catalogers planned for this scenario?

More Importantly:

  • Who is out there citing ghosts in their work?
  • Is there ever a time that a serious scholar would want or need to cite ghosts?!
