Review:
This book is great because it describes ghost hunting in a good scientific approach, just like how TAPS investigates. It gives a very educational crash course in the ways to study ghosts and spirits. It also delves into more unexplored areas of the paranormal, such as time warps and poltergeist activity. Skeptics would enjoy the very rational and down to earth type of writing style used. A great guide for someone who would like to start conducting their own investigations.

The Interntational Directory of Haunted Places
by Dennis Huack
Review:
Maybe you want to visit places a bit further away than from one coast to another? If so, you should pick up this directory, covering places in your own state to others on the other side of the world. Visit the Victorians of San Francisco then travel to Europe and visit an ancient castle ruin known to have something lurking around at night. This book can also be used as a travel directory, offering websites and phone numbers to call in order to actually see these places themselves. Once you've read this book, start planning your trip and prepare for a trip that will give you shivers down your spine.

Ghost Worlds

Goodwyn's MySpace
Review:
Ghost Worlds provides a different, more spiritual look at the art of ghost hunting. This book explores different theories on the paranormal and several great accounts. Even though the book may be a departure from the more rational ghost hunting guides listed above, knowledge inside can help you come to your own conclusions about how you would perform your own ghost hunt.

by Deborah Blum

Review:
A book gives interesting insight into the rise of the scientific investigation of the paranormal. At a time when mediumship and spiritualism where at their height and scientists were making huge advancements and looking down upon such acts as spirits and ghosts, a small group of individuals daringly risked their reputations to find a middle ground somewhere between the two feuding sides.
