Abstract
A jurisprudence of hauntings draws on the work of Peter Goodrich and makes reference to French customary law, The Digest as well as recent case law on stigmatised property. It offers a psychoanalytical approach to what contemporary law or legal science either forgets or finds difficult to conceptualise: property must be thought of in terms of traces or emotional imprints that early modern law articulated as loca infecta or places infested by spirits. These ideas are read into contemporary case law and the essay speculates on the relationship between spectral jurisprudence, a hauntology of law and psychic jurisprudence.
