"Picture Yourself Ghost Hunting: Step-by-Step Instruction for Exploring Haunts and Finding Spirits, Spooks, and Specters" introduces novice paranormal explorers to the history, techniques, and equipment used in the search for proof of life after death, or simply, ghosts. Written like a field guide to ghost hunting, the book begins by examining what a ghost is, and isn't, and presents a brief history of ghosts and the pioneers of the ghost hunting field. You'll review what has already been discovered and the tried and true methods and tricks that have been successfully used by seasoned ghost hunters and their outcomes. You'll also take a look at the different types of equipment used to both search for and communicate with ghosts, as well as how to approach the hunt depending on the location. Finally, you'll learn how to assess the evidence that you've gathered and what it all means, and how to avoid the pitfalls that are the stuff of popular ghost legends. Written by an avid and experienced paranormal researcher, "Picture Yourself Ghost Hunting" is filled with firsthand tips and advice, including a 90-minute interactive DVD featuring tutorials and interviews, and is both a reference and a source of helpful inspiration for any aspiring ghost hunter.

Format:Paperback
I haven't made it through the entire book yet but as a lead investigator of a paranormal research team, this book has a great deal of information for experienced and inexperienced "ghosthunters". A lot of the information contained in this book is "a must know" for those with a desire to become a paranormal researcher. Highly recommended!

Format:Paperback
This book is entertaining and informative. While parts of it are almost too simplistic, it is still full of information for the beginning or intermediate ghost hunter. There are tons of pictures and illustrations.

What better way is there to learn the trade than to watch a professional? "Picture Yourself Ghost Hunting" comes with an instructional DVD that not only makes the book more interactive, but even more valuable: it's rich with content.
