GHOST HUNTING IN HAUNTED CEMETERIES A HOW-TO GUIDE By FIONA BROOME is full of useful information and interesting facts. She goes in to detail about the different types of cemeteries, what to look for to get the best results, how to run a successful investigation, how to begin your research, and so much more. If you are looking to learn how to be a great paranormal investigator or just interested in cemeteries, this book has something for you. It is well worth the $12.95 and I recommend this book to everyone starting off in paranormal research.

This review is from: Ghost Hunting in Haunted Cemeteries: A How-To Guide (Paperback)

I enjoyed reading this book, and found this book to be a good book for the beginner in ghost investigations as well as experienced ghost hunters. She covers the entire scope of cemetery investigation from beginning to end, explains a lot of the design elements (finger pointed up, finger pointed down, the sun, angels, etc.) found on gravestones and which type of gravestone might be haunted.

This book is a rather short read but full of information. An excellent reference book.

This book would also be helpful to the genealogist, who is going through cemeteries trying to find ancestors and decipher the meanings of some no longer used text, abbreviations, and symbols on the gravestones.

I was disappointed that the author, as she says in her book, of the "oldest, most respected" paranormal web site didn't have any other photos besides orbs included in her book. I would think a group that has been around for a long time and continues to do active investigations would have more to show for it with photos than this book did. It would have been nice to see examples of the types of manifestations that can be found at some cemeteries (orbs, mists, lights, apparitions, etc.).

All in all, however, I would recommend this book to anyone interested in investigating the paranormal.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading Fiona Broome's book.

Being a curious beginner, I didn't really know what to expect, but the information was presented clearly and easy to understand. I also appreciate the encouragement as well as the cautions given.

This book is filled with great information that helps me, as a beginner, take that first step...
