Shadowpeople . . . cold spots . . . orbs . . . Ghosthunter Melissa Martin Ellis takes readers on an exciting high-tech journey into the supernatural world of haunted sites, restless souls, and messages from beyond the grave. Readers explore motion sensors, highly sensitive digital cameras, and so-called Ghost Telephones, as well as the supernatural phenomena themselves, including:

  • Poltergeists
  • Electronic-voice phenomena (EVP)
  • Possession
  • Photo anomalies
  • Séances and voodoo rituals
Appealing to the same audience as such popular TV shows as Lost, Medium, Invasion, Charmed, Ghost Hunters, Destination Truth, and Most Haunted, this book shows readers how today’s investigators use the tools of modern science to study a wide range of paranormal activity.

Everything

The book is very factual with most of the information that the author has presented. Would recommend any Ghost Hunter to read this book for some tips on like how to dress, tools, etc.

If you want to hunt ghosts, this is a good book to start with. Lots of good info.

Excellent Starter Book

Reviewed by D. E. Helbling, 2009-10-29

This book has very broad coverage of lots of topics related to the field. The format and information packaging is very accessible and the writing is light, but not trivializing.

This is a great book for the paranormal newb. It's also an excellent one to send to your mom, little sister, or aunt who is worried about you "flirting with the supernatural". While the author is clearly aware of the reality TV show approaches ghost hunting, the perspectives offered here are somewhat more sensitive and practical. Lots of great references to other resources, too.

The best book to get: covers topics other guides don't

Reviewed by Star Girl, 2009-09-28

I've read a number of "paranormal investigating" how-to books, but this is the one I'm most impressed with. First, it covers topics the other guides don't: a history of hauntings through the ages, following scientific protocols and team member accountability, and mapping power sources and natural anomalies (and that's just the beginning--I've learned more from this book than any of the others I've read). Second, each topic is covered in depth, and in many cases it takes the reader through a step-by-step how to. Third, it's well written and concise.

This book is not only a wonderful primer for beginners, but a good resource to have for intermediates as well as those who are seasoned: everything is easily found using the index, so it's a great reference guide. In addition, those who aren't paranormal investigators (such as writers and journalists) who need to research the topic in order to sound knowledgeable about what they're writing will also find this invaluable.

If you're looking for a well-researched book that covers every topic in paranormal investigating, get this one. You won't be disappointed.
