This book is a field guide for the prospective paranormal investigator. It provides information on how to form a group for the investigation of the paranormal, how to research haunted areas and much more. The advice is very practical and the author obviously has years of experience in this field. He provides details on the types of entities likely to be encountered, like ghosts, spirits or dangerous spirit creatures that are best left to an experienced exorcist. I found the sections on how to capture paranormal phenomena on film and how to record disembodied voices and sounds on tape particularly interesting, as it is easy to do with equipment that most people already have. Plenty of sources for material are provided, as well as contact details of organisations devoted to studying these phenomena. The book contains photographs, an appendix, a glossary, bibliography and index. It is a very thorough handbook fo those who wish to pursue this rather unusual hobby.

Having read this book, i knew what basic and easily affordable equipment one needs to investigate hauntings.
Also the important rules of "Ghost Hunting" like not to go alone(preferably with fellow ghost hunters), asking permission to investigate a supposedly haunted premises and techniques in capturing ghosts on film.

What's more, it can be done anywhere as all walls and buildings contain some residue of recorded voices.

Less antedotal/More How-To

Format:Paperback
I really hate so called 'experts' in the paranormal that believe their theories are truths and pass them off as such. His 'orb' pictures are obviously soft diffusion from the tombstone reflecting into a lens with a bit of dew on it.
The margins are wide, reducing the actual text in the book. The author spends a great deal of time telling stories and actually very little on 'how' to hunt ghosts.
Troy Taylor's Guidebook is much better.
On the other hand, the forms in the back of the book are great starting points for creating your own tailored forms. There is good information in the book. There just isn't a whole lot of it.

There is a little detective in all of us, but in most cases one wouldn't know where to begin. If you are curious about possible existence of paranormal phenomenon this book gives you that place to start. Whether a skeptic,a believer,this book gives the information needed to begin simple investigations in a manner that is easy to understand. For someone who hasn't had years of experience in the paranormal, or criminal investigation some of the books available can be intimidating. Mr Southalls book however makes you feel that doing your own investigation is within abilities. This book is not perfect, but it give an excellent starting point for the novice to begin investigating from.
