Abstract
Twenty first century cultural production increasingly presents supernatural themes as factual: from faux found-footage horror films to ghost hunting reality shows and websites compiling documentary footage of supposedly paranormal phenomena. This talk proposes that the seeming factual presentation of the supernatural requires that we redefine the ways in which the horror genre addresses real events and, by extension, our relationship with images.
