Book Reviews of How to be a Ghost Hunter
Book Review: Basic Book for Beginners...
Summary: 4 Stars
As a person very interested in the paranormal field, I really enjoyed reading this book. In fact, I have now read it twice.
The ghost stories scattered through out kept the book exciting as the technical jargon would get a little tiresome if that was the only element of the book.
I was disappointed that more space and detail was not devoted to the actual equipment. It would be interesting to know more about why certain pieces worked well in spirit investigations by explaining more of the scientific side. Also, I would have liked to have seen more equipment discussed (or dismissed and the reasons why) such as the EMF K2 meter and thermal imaging cameras.
As a person that leans heavily to the side of scientific investigations and totally dismisses the physic "impression" aspect, I would be interested in hearing an actual physicist's take on what type of equipment might be utilized although I doubt that a physicist would place their name and reputation beside such an endeavor.
Anyway, all in all, this is a good book written by a true believer. I highly recommend it. Michael L. Gooch, Author of Wingtips with Spurs
