What would Hauntography entail?

After posting this, I’ve been wondering what hauntography, as a research method combining hauntology and ethnography, entail?

Would it be something like a researcher joining a group of people, or an environment, and trying to be sensitive to the influence of ghost/specters in that group/environment?

How would the researcher become receptive to the ghosts/specters?

What impact would the researcher’s own ghosts/specters have on the research?
