Let me start off by saying this isn't the first book I've read of Mr. Taylors and definately won't be the last. In this book he talks about Spirit Photography.

I love his "no nonsense" approach to writing and Ghost Hunting. To this day he has to be my favorite author in the Supernatural Field. One of those writers you can trust and know that if he says it then it must be true. He does his research and there's no psychic fluff here.

His love for History is evident and takes his writing to a whole other level. Just the historical aspect alone makes the reread value go up 100%. I'm in the process of reading Field Guide to Haunted Graveyards for the 3rd time right now, and just finished my 2nd reading of Down in the Darkness.

Pick up this book it won't disappoint. Look for some of his other books too. You'll be glad you did.

Why doesn't he have his own show?

I don't think I have ever taken a picture of a ghost, but many people think they have. Troy Taylor gives you a complete history and opinions of each story. Don't miss out on this good book.
