Abstract
A central question that emerges after the manifestation of a haunting is "what exactly is being haunted"? Is it a person? A place? Or time? Netflix's 2018 TV series The Haunting of Hill House disrupts conventional approaches to cinematic and televisual ghost stories by answering this question with "all of the above". In this essay I will explore how the series dissolves some conventional boundaries in televisual representations of time and space to present this answer and I will analyze how the series' marked approach to spatiality and temporality thematizes haunting as something more than the presence of representational ghosts.
