Excerpt from the Geonarratives.PH site
"So how do we depict the uncanny, the unseen, the not-quite-there? Based on cartographic data gathered from the Geography 1 classes of Fernand Francis Hermoso, haunted spaces come to life with stories that fascinate precisely because they live in the realm of liminality. For academic year 2016-2017, Hermoso, an assistant professor at the UP Department of Geography challenged his students to capture the spooky and the haunted in UP campus. Data were gathered and obtained from written accounts in books, stories emanating from social media, and interviews of security guards and maintenance personnel who were stationed in these buildings. The triangulation of data was necessary to validate stories told from the ground and engender claims of spectral sightings in buildings.
The data were interpreted using kernel density mapping to create a hotspot or heat map, and which by extension also doubles as a spectral presence."
