[.ca] The Ghost Hunter's Bible (ISBN 0970310056)

Very Good Book....However!:
I love the book very much and found alot of things that are very useful. I liked the legends and the folklore and many stories that i already knew (i like hearing stories from a different side than i already heared). The only thing i had a hard time with is the use of EMF detectors. The reason why, is because they are so sensitive they are hard to use..i question it very much on the EMF detectors. Then i also have to debate the author on page 65, he asks the question "i recently purched a house that is haunted, is there anything that i can do?". The author comes out of the wood work with such a poor answer of "there is nothing that can be done to get rid of a ghost"...Mr. Brandon thats bull..yes you can, cause i've seen it done many times. So, i think that Mr. Brandon better redo that question again with a better answer to his readers cause thats misleading. Other than that, the book is very good and well worth the time.

Solid Ghost Hunting Book:
The information in this book is accurate and reliable. I own many different ghost hunting books and I always find myself going back to reference this book. I have even used it to help build my own ghost hunting website. I recently purchased this authors new book, Book of Ghosts, and I was not disappointed. It was a great advanced level ghost hunting book. This writer knows ghost hunting. His books are clear and precise and always have much more relevant ghost hunting information. I have never written a review for any other product, but it is my pleasure to right these reviews for Mr. Brandon's books. Keep up the good work!

Shocked by some Negative Reviews:
I have owned this book for about 6 months. I am currently part of a small ghost-hunting group. I recommended this book to my group and everyone loved it. I have been conducting real scientific ghost hunts for about 4 years and I found that this book hit the nail on the head almost every time. I have to believe that many of the negative reviews are false because they talk about Witchcraft and Satan none of which is even talked about in the book. There is nothing in this book that bashes occults subjects. The author is very straightforward on the subject: if you are conducting a true scientific ghost hunt do not use psychics, mediums or magic because these are not scientific tools. That is not bashing that is just the truth. If you are a true scientific ghost hunter then this is a good book. If you are a burned out hippy looking for Wicca rituals then this is probably not your book. But seriously, if you are into scientific parapsychology pick up this book.

My hats off - Great Book!:
I found this title to be informative and provide a well-rounded balance of parapsychology information. This book is prefect for ghost hunting beginners and professionals. The author cover many aspects of a ghost hunt that I have never seen listed in other books of its type. The book covers witness interviews and details what questions should and should not be asked to an eyewitness. It talks about simple ghost hunting techniques and rolls into a great question and answer section. It has a good parapsychology section (something that I think many ghost hunters are missing) an easy to use reference section and some good stories. Overall, I am very impressed and I look forward to future works from this author.

Interesting book, but flawed by author's prejudices:
Interesting book, and filled with some interesting information, but the author has some strong beliefs and prejudices that flaw the book. For one thing, for someone who is writing on a fairly controversial subject to begin with, and evidences a belief in ghosts and the paranormal, he rejects out of hand psychics and mediums, and confuses their use in paranormal investigation with magic and witchcraft. Since the presigious Rhine Institute and the British Society for Psychical Research are investigating mediumship (and E.S.P) scientifically for decades this is a strange attitude for someone presenting themselves as a professional to have. Also, Mr. Brandon seems to be either unaware, or lacks knowledge, of the differences between types of hauntings and methods to get rid of some of them since he expresses the opinion that there is "no way to get rid of a ghost." I'd recommend one of Troy Taylor's books, or Joshua Warren's How To Hunt Ghosts as better, more knowledgeable, and more balanced in presentation.
