Pro reader, amateur ghost hunter

Review by Cynthia Wilson, 2010-07-06

I have only been on a few ghost hunts with professional investigators, but never on my own. So I decided, from what I had experienced, that I wanted to explore paranormal investigation, ghost hunting in particular, in more depth. I had heard a lot of good things about Ms. Ellis' book, so I bought it and devoured it. Not only was it full of extremely helpful information, but was fun to read. I had some issues with how expensive this "hobby" might get, but after coming to the logical result that to do anything well you must have the proper tools, I purchased the equipment suggested by this book. I can't say enough about this book for a semi-amateur ghost hunter like myself. What a find! I highly recommend this book. Kudos to the author.

EXCELLENT GUIDE!!

Review by Andrew Laird, 2010-06-09

I have no clue what "Marve" read. For that matter, its obvious Marve doesn't know what Marve read! Too bad, because this extremely well written book offers the novice researcher everything he or she needs to know to make a decision as to whether paranormal investigation is for them. This field requires the participant to open their closed mind, not to slam the door and lock it.

THE EVERYTHING GHOST HUNTING BOOK delivers what the title promises and then some. It is highly entertaining, but at the same time its also a painstakingly researched factual guide to all aspects of paranormal research and investigation. Unlike many "guides" before it, it provides the rarely seen diverse insights of actual investigator's working in this field.

Buy this book, you will not be disappointed!

WHAT?? The previous reviewers must be newbies!

Review by Marve, 2010-05-23

I cannot just tell you this book is bad. I cannot just say this book is wrong on soooo many levels. I have to tell you why.

FIRST

This is the most biased book I have ever read. I am trying to grow a book collection and got it at a very reasonable price. I have more than 80 books now. I admit, when the book came in the mail, I was excited! I love books like these. They are usually quite informative and sometimes give a differing point of view on the subject I am obsessed with. Once I read it through I was amazed to find out there are no other teams really worth mentioning through most of the book besides the authors friends and TAPS. This book should be titled "The Field Guide to Butt-Kissing Ghost Hunting Celebs".

SECOND

It tells you to use technology that many serious researchers have dismissed as contaminating the environment you are trying to investigate! Why would you want to fill the room with EMF and static electricity??

THIRD

Raising money for ghost hunting is hard. How can you pay for all your ghost hunting gadgets? The author has some suggestions!

1. Teach paranormal classes. OK, that sounds reasonable. If you have the experience, why not?
2. Cleanse spaces. WHAT, HUH???? Going from paranormal research to voodoo in 10 seconds flat!
3. Write a book (OK), article (still with ya) or script. A script?? To be successful, go ahead and sell you soul to Hollywood! Good advice.
4. Work as a media consultant. OMG.
5. Debunk. Who is going to pay me to tell them your haunting is BS?
6. Maintain a members only website. Welcome to Sinning for Ghost Hunters! How to be absolutely corrupt in 6 easy lessons!

So, you want to be a serious paranormal researcher, like the parapsychologists of old? Good luck! This book talks about spells, enchantments, demons and witchcraft. Not objectively either! As tools you SHOULD use or avoid!

I think I am going to be sick.

I think the author is a talented writer and could have put a really good book together. However, this is not such an example.

Great book

Review by B. Klein, 2010-04-23

I read This book for the first time and I was very impressed. I am only an amateur ghost hunter and enjoyed the book very much. Loaded with lots of hints and it is an easy read. I think that this book will not disappoint the seasoned ghost hunter as well as the beginning investigator.
