Book Reviews of How to be a Ghost Hunter (How To Series)
Book Review: Investigating basics
Summary: 4 Stars
This book is a good start for someone who is interested in the paranormal and would like to try some of the techniques that investigators use to capture evidence of unexplained activity. There is helpful information on forming an investigative group and lists equipment that someone might wish to purchase. Richard Southall does a good job of describing how to use each piece of equipment to gather evidence. He does also express his theories on the paranormal, and it is interesting to listen to his point of view. I think this is a good start, but seasoned investigators are not likely to learn anything new.
Book Review: Interesting and informative
Summary: 4 Stars
I've been enjoying this book very much. It's straight-forward, helpful and interesting. He gives very good tips about ghost hunting without a lot of the drivel that can accompany books of this type. I recommend it, especially to beginners.Book Review: Less antedotal/More How-To
Summary: 3 Stars
I really hate so called 'experts' in the paranormal that believe their theories are truths and pass them off as such. His 'orb' pictures are obviously soft diffusion from the tombstone reflecting into a lens with a bit of dew on it.
The margins are wide, reducing the actual text in the book. The author spends a great deal of time telling stories and actually very little on 'how' to hunt ghosts.
Troy Taylor's Guidebook is much better.
On the other hand, the forms in the back of the book are great starting points for creating your own tailored forms. There is good information in the book. There just isn't a whole lot of it.
Book Review: Could be better
Summary: 3 Stars
Other than an typo or two, this book isn't bad, though a lot of it is stating the obvious. It is excellent for those first starting into the hobby, and somewhat entertaining just for paranormal enthusiasts. Interesting cover and photographs as well.Book Review: Ghosts are hiding
Summary: 3 Stars
Im sure that I would have given this book 5 *'s had we actually found any ghost (or any signs of ghosts) yet. But as of now, they are hiding.
