In the last decade in Chile, an increasing amount of paranormal investigation companies have carried out ghost tours in patrimonial and historical places, using diverse technologies to penetrate into the history of sites. We ethnographically and analytically explore two related questions. First, we ask what paranormal instrumentation does to collective memory and to history. We argue that these ‘registers’ of the paranormal create ‘affective atmospheres’, namely from the forms of indeterminacy embedded in the functioning and performance of the apparatuses. Our argument is that these machines are mechanisms for the creation of a new history, one that is apprehended affectively. Second, in the context of an explosion of adherence in Chile to forms of new media, we employ the notion of ‘dark media’ to illustrate that online material posted by paranormal researchers appears to escape any form of mediational understanding, feeding at once the public's perceptive and affective dispositions.

新媒体和数字化超自然现象：仪器，情感氛围和智利的历史产物

在智利的过去十年中，越来越多的超自然现象调查公司在世袭和遗迹保护区进行了幽灵之旅，使用各种技术来深入了解遗址的历史。我们从人种学和分析学上探讨了两个相关的问题。首先，我们问超自然仪器会对集体记忆和历史产生什么影响。我们认为，超自然现象的这些“记录”创造了“情感气氛”，即是由嵌入在设备功能和性能中的不确定性形式产生的。我们的论点是，这些机器是创建新历史的机制，这种新历史被深情地理解。其次，在智利对新媒体的加入方式激增的背景下，
