"Picture Yourself Legend Tripping" is a good, concise introduction to the paranormal, best for those who have yet to delve into the subject. Belanger, a writer for the Travel Channel's sometimes silly Ghost Adventures, covers all the bases, from Atlantis to zombies, and includes advice on acquiring equipment, interviewing witnesses, researching local legends and writing reports. His own writing style is casual and conversational, with corny jokes and plays on words.

If you know little about the paranormal, or so far have limited your research to only one aspect, this is a good book for you. It tells you enough about all the facets of the subject to let you decide what to investigate next. On the other hand, if you've been at this for a while, you probably won't learn very much.

So, my bottom line is, if you want a good overview, try this book. If you already know about MUFON, the Nazca lines, chupacabra and the upcoming apocalypse, you might want to look for more focused material.

If you enjoyed reading the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew stories and pictured yourself out there with them or watched the movie "The Goonies" and craved to go out have an adventure like them, than you are a Legend Tripper. My wife Tracy and I love to got out each weekend and go out and look for Bigfoot or go on a ghost hunt or just find some place where a legend started. I didn't know there was a term for people like us until I purchased and read Jeff Belanger's Legend Tripping. After you read this book, you are going to want to grab your family and get out and go see what is out there. Every state and I mean every state has some mystery place or legend to go see. This book is a great start to get your trip planned. Jeff has down a great job putting the book together. The whole family can enjoy this book. Parents, I warn you if you let your kids read the book, you had better be prepared to get up off the couch and take your kids on a legend trip. They are going to want to go Legend Tripping. I promise you will not be dispointed. Legend Tripping can bring a family together. Any family can go to Disney World or go see the Grand Canyon. Try taking your family on a Bigfoot hunt or go find a place that is suppose to be haunted (proved that it is not off limits or private property) and see what happens. Now those are memories to last forever.

I was not familiar with the term Legend Tripping so being a fan of all things paranormal and of Mr. Belanger I picked up the book as soon as I saw it for pre-order. I will say the book is easily one of my favorites he has written. Very informative and intelligent and gives a whole new perspective on real paranormal investigating. Man did the tips and ideas bring back memories. I have been LEGEND TRIPPING my whole life and now I have a name to associate with what I have done.

Jeff, well done and a great read! I suggest anyone interested in the paranormal and local mysteries and histories to get this book.

This was a fantastic book and gave me a lot of great ideas. I highly suggest this book to anyone that is interested in the paranormal or legends!!!

A very good book for pretty much all ages and could easily provide for a family outing. Maybe get the kids wanting to actually go out with the parents for once. Jeff is a very knowledgable investigator who has many books out about the paranormal world, read them they are worth the price.

I've read several of Jeff's books, and they are awesome. He is very entertaining, also a very interesting guy. I was lucky enough to meet him last year and get his autograph. Picture Yourself Legend Tripping was an awesome book! I loved reading it. It definitely makes you want to go out and explore all these things. This book is very highly recommended.

I just finished PY Legend Tripping and I loved it! It was full of interesting stories, facts and tips on how to get started on your own Legend Trip. If you have any interest in the Paranormal or are just looking for interesting vacation ideas, this book is a MUST HAVE. Jeff Belanger's sense of humor shines through and makes you feel like he is right there with you, explaining every popular legend you have ever heard before and everything you need to know to discover your own legends.

Mr. Belanger is always an entertaining and informative writer. As with all his books this one is great and interesting to a wide audience. Even if you are not into the paranormal,everyone has heard legends and had one or more that caught their interest. No one who reads this book will be disappointed.

Jeff is an amazingly entertaining writer and very well educated on the topics he addresses. This book is a great read for all
ages! My daughter, age 7, loves this book! It's a great guide for curiosity seekers of all ages into the unknown!
