A definitive guide on "Ghost Hunting" by Troy TaylorNovember 21, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Troy Taylor, founder of the American Ghost Society has created what is considered by many as the definitive textbook for the would be and experienced "ghost hunter" alike. Some of the subjects presented are the history of ghost research, investigative technique, investigative equipment, ghost photography, step-by-step "how to conduct a paranormal investigation" and even sample forms to adapt for your own investigations.
Troy provides a look at many established and discredited theories and provides the reader his own analysis and discussion of each.
Many books have been written as 'Guides to Ghost Hunting' but Troy Taylor's "Ghost Hunter's Guidebook" is one book the serious paranormal researcher should have if he owns no other.
Easily the best title on the subjectSeptember 12, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Troy Taylor does a fine job exposing his audience to the history and traditions of ghost hunting, despite painting with somewhat broad brushstrokes. Expectations for any such book should be limited - nothing is going to tell you how to conduct a proper investigation except experience. Nevertheless, the Guidebook should be plenty enough to give you the courage to get out there and look around, and might also save you the expense of buying a lot of pricey toys you don't really need. Taylor treats the subject matter seriously, which is refreshing. I would have really enjoyed a few more "war stories" taken from actual experience, but that's what Taylor's other books are for.
Ghost Hunter's Must-Have!July 24, 2006 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Great for newbies & seasoned investigators. Straight forward information from someone who's been in the field for decades with no phoney Ph.D. or photos of camera straps on his covers either as I've seen on other so-called 'serious' ghost books. I highly recommend ANY of Mr. Taylor's books--any serious ghost hunter should dedicate an entire shelf in their collection to his series of ghost books!!!
