A Ghost Hunter's Handbook

A Ghost Hunter’s Handbook is an introductory guide to investigating reported ghosts and hauntings, written for younger readers but suited to anyone beginning their own research. Peter Underwood sets out practical questions for witnesses, suggestions for gathering equipment and evidence, and methods for distinguishing a genuine experience from a fraud.

The book also surveys a varied selection of reported phenomena, including famous hauntings, apparitions said to appear at particular times, family ghosts, ghosts encountered in open spaces, animal ghosts and haunted objects. Its final section turns to haunted houses that can be visited, giving the handbook a distinctly practical character alongside its accounts of British ghost lore and paranormal investigation.
