Ghost Hunting: A Survivor's Guide

Ghost Hunting: A Survivor’s Guide examines how reported hauntings can be investigated, from early examples involving Pliny the Younger to modern vigils and organised fieldwork. John Fraser traces the development of ghost-hunting methods since Harry Price’s era, while considering what investigations can realistically establish about claims of survival after death.

The practical sections cover equipment, location research, organising a vigil and assessing evidence, with particular attention to the limitations of EMF meters and excessive technology. Fraser also outlines the histories of the Society for Psychical Research, the Ghost Club and ASSAP, and discusses disputed practices including Ouija boards, planchettes, table-turning, dowsing and mediumship. Historical and contemporary cases illustrate why careful research remains essential.
