The recent spate of TV shows focusing upon ghost hunting has piqued the interest in many ghost-hunter wannabees. Now Melissa Martin Ellis has written a state of the art manual covering everything you need to know before heading into that haunted house. The book opens with an overview of historic and current beliefs about ghosts and their composition, and segues into a thorough treatment of practical skills for fieldwork. From equipment and safety, to ethics and report writing, Ellis has laid out a comprehensive methodology for researching paranormal situations. It even gives a format for interviewing the person(s) who have requested assistance. I read this book out of curiosity, and now when I watch those ghost shows, I have a pretty good idea about the "legitimacy" of the researchers and the techniques they apply. It closes with a helpful glossary and a list of haunted locations and famous ghosts.Read full review
