The Ghost Hunter's Guide

The Ghost Hunter’s Guide presents ghost hunting as a practical investigation, beginning with different types of ghosts, hauntings and locations. Peter Underwood outlines methods for gathering evidence, using specialist equipment, photographing reported apparitions and recording witnesses’ accounts through questionnaires and other documentation.

A detailed, step-by-step investigation considers the particular difficulties associated with poltergeist reports, while later chapters examine mediumship and exorcism. The book then broadens its scope beyond Britain, surveying ghost-hunting cases and practices in Europe, North America, Australasia and the Far East. A ghost calendar, useful addresses and an index complete this handbook for researching reported hauntings with a structured, evidence-conscious approach.
