In this paper I offer a reading of Virginia Woolf’s story “A Haunted House” from the perspectives of hauntology and heterotopic spatiality. I argue that, initiating with this story, spectrality prevails in Virginia Woolf’s writing and haunts her literary corpus. By examining the mystical element rhythmic practice brings to the story, and by linking it to thencept of haunting and spectrality, I discuss the use of haunting and spectres to question modernity’s connection to the past. I emphasize that Woolf questions the relation of modernity to the past, which does not necessarily mean that the past has always negative connotations for her, but rather that she distrusts modernity and suspects that it might betray her. By focusing on the quintessential role of the house, I claim that the house transforms into a heterotopic place where boundaries between spaces and times blur and the past, the present, and the future merge, as a result of which the house becomes a space of encounter, which is a way of resisting the rigid conceptualizations of spatio-temporality.

在本文中，我从鬼魂学和异位空间性的角度解读了弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的小说《鬼屋》。我认为，从这个故事开始，幽灵在弗吉尼亚·伍尔夫的写作中盛行，并萦绕在她的文学语料库中。通过研究节奏实践给故事带来的神秘元素，并将其与困扰和幽灵的概念联系起来，我讨论了使用困扰和幽灵来质疑现代性与过去的联系。我强调伍尔夫质疑现代性与过去的关系，这并不一定意味着过去对她总是有负面含义，而是她不信任现代性并怀疑现代性可能会背叛她。通过关注房子的典型作用，我认为房子变成了一个异位的地方，空间和时间之间的界限变得模糊，过去、现在和未来融合在一起，结果房子变成了一个空间相遇，这是抵抗时空僵化概念的一种方式。
