• Anthropologists have long investigated beliefs in the occult, creating seductive analytics that explain these phenomena as critiques to the present, the new and the neoliberal. Although these analytics provide useful frameworks for interpretation, they do not take into sufficient consideration people's experiences and processes of construction and negotiation of occult beliefs. Drawing on ethnographic data I collected through fieldwork in haunted places in Kyoto, in this article I propose an approach that considers beliefs and practices in relationship to their "causal milieu" (GELL 1998). I propose an analysis based on the nexus theory (GELL 1998), arguing that haunted places can be interpreted as indexes created by rumors that emerge from complex chains of translations (CALLON 1986) among actors. I focus on relationships between human and non-human actors, arguing that the latter, especially the morphology of the place, play a major role in processes of creation of haunting.
