Product Description
New England abounds with unnerving ghost stories and spooky tales of haunted houses, hotels, and battlefields. In Ghost Hunters of New England, Alan Brown finds that ghost lore is not nearly enough for the insatiably curious. In each of the six New England states groups of ghost hunters like the members of Connecticut's "Skeleton Crew Paranormal Research Society" and Maine's "Bangor Ghost Hunters Association" pack cameras, Geiger counters, electromagnetic field detectors, digital voice recorders, infrared thermometers, thermal scanners, oscilloscopes, tape recorders, computers, and dowsing rods in search of elusive proof of supernatural activity. In this book the reader tags along with Brown and the ghost hunters on exciting and frightening investigations of places throughout New England. We meet the teachers, doctors, accountants, housewives, and law enforcement personnel who devote much of their free time to a quest that many outsiders view with skepticism--if not scorn. They are passionate about, even obsessed by, their expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes dangerous and chilling avocation. In fascinating, startling, and sometimes humorous accounts, Brown highlights the determination of these individuals to secure positive proof of the existence of the spirit realm and answer the question: "What happens to the soul after death?"

 Mr Haunted November 28, 2008
Mr Haunted's name is Jim Petonito not Petrino and I would have liked to see some pictures,but i liked the book
 Rather dull view of "ghost busters" November 10, 2008
I picked up this book hoping to find an interesting and entertaining view of why some people enter the world of paranormal research. I was also hoping to find out or hear some interesting stories that these researchers have come across during their years conducting surveys. Sadly, I found that while they book barely meets the first requirement it fails miserably at the second.
It turns out this book is a huge bore because it talks about being a paranormal researcher without tell anyone why they would want to take up the profession or what the props or cons of doing it are. Imagine trying to be a cop only to find out that you're not being told you may get shot at and you can understand why this book fails so badly.
