Informative on the process of ghost hunting and the possible ways to get involved. The processes are much more complex than I would have thought, after seeing the ‘for entertainment’ tv shows; the tech and gear alone have so many possibilities. I like the authors’ honesty about any of the data being actual evidence because this is a new and now more accepted field of study, proof is complication and there are others with a mission to debunk all your theories and opinions based upon data collected.

I picked up the book from the author at Raven Con. It is an interesting book on the life of ghost hunters. As someone who doesn't know the ins and outs of this field, I found the book to be very detailed on everything from types of equipment, to historical research, to the history and theories of ghost hunting, and more. It seems like a pretty comprehensive book for the novice and perhaps even experienced ghost hunters.
