Book Reviews of How to Hunt Ghosts : A Practical Guide

Book Review: This Guy DOES Know His Stuff...Good Effort
Summary: 5 Stars

July was interesting this past year(2003). Went to Savannah, Georgia, and stayed in a haunted bed and breakfast inn (The 17Hundred90--main ghost named Anna Powers), and then went up to Bay Street to get locked overnight in a haunted pub with 13 other lunatics (two of them from the Savannah Morning
News. a features writer and a photographer). The Inn was interesting. "Something" walked out of a bathroom for us that night, sat down with a creak in a creaky chair, waited a few, and then creaked its way back across the creaky floor and re-entered the bathroom. Cool, huh? Well the inn had NOTHING on the Moon River Brewery & Pub!!!!! The basement was spook central. Try a water spigot that would defy you and turn itself back on in front of you after you turned it off. Not once. Not twice. THREE times. Then there's the storeroom where you could plainly hear the sound of chairs dragging across the floor. Open the door, flick on the light, and...nothing. But the spook DID like chairs. A most frightening incident was walking from one room to the next and passing some restaurant chairs and bar stools stacked against a far wall and having one of the chairs just launch itself into the air and smash to the floor right in front of the person behind you, the nice little old lady from St. Augustine, Florida. And when I say smash, take that literally. Broke itself upon the floor. Sorry, bubbas, you can't manage that kind of force with funhouse wires, so you can forget that little bit of self-delusional debunkery. Besides. There WEREN'T any wires. We checked. And lastly, there was the stupendous event of a huge crashing noise that shook the building and had three and four-person investigative teams rushing up and down stairwells and bumping into each other, because EACH group "heard" the crash as coming from the floor either ABOVE or BELOW their own. NOBODY heard it on THEIR floor. And nothing was EVER found as a cause for the noise.
And all these doings were looked at with tri-field meters, thermographic sensor guns,digital cameras, night vision viewers, tape recorders, motion detectors, and other kinds of paraphernalia covered by Joshua P. Warren in his book "How To Hunt Ghosts". So, am I shilling for Warren? No. Wasn't one of his investigations. It was worked by The American Institute of Parapsychology (AIP), out of Florida, and co-cordinated by Savannah Walks, Inc. Fact is, though, everything Warren says in his book matches up with the ideas and methodologies used by AIP in Savannah. Dovetail matches. His assessments of equipment squares with theirs and his concepts of the nature of spirits and hauntings matches up.
To my mind Warren has a solid piece of work here and things I have heard about his professionalism in the past lead me to place him up there with Loyd Auerbach, Troy Taylor, Richard Southall, Dave Oester, or any of the other "name" investigators of "things that go bump in the night". This is a good book and it deserves a wide readership. Buy it, read it. You'll find it quite practical, level-headed, perceptive, and credible. And then look up the guy's website and order the VHS "Alone In A Haunted House" from him. In it he takes YOU on an "overnight" and shows all this equipment in use. Then he shows you the results of the photography sessions and sound recording analyses. You will find it both interesting and informative. And if you don't know what an "orb" is going into this, you will before the tape is through (at least you'll know what one LOOKS like..."paras" will argue all day over exactly what it IS!). Watch the tape, read the book. Joshua P. Warren is for real. He can't help it if he looks like your little brother...he's a prodigy whose intellect is a bit out ahead of your run-of-the-mill "ghostbuster's". And, since he lives and works out of Asheville, NC, only about 55 miles north of me, I think I may hunt him up one of these days and say "Let's go hunt some haint's, fella"!!! No Scooby Snacks required!!
