Examining how literary tourism endowed writers’‘haunts’ and spaces with imaginative power, this article goes on to trace how supernatural hauntings abounded in the popular Victorian imagination. The increasing sense of space as having occult potential is used to explore Dickens's The Haunted Man , before the temporal aspects of haunting are discussed in relation to our own reception of Dickens's characters today.
