A definitive guide on "Ghost Hunting" by Troy Taylor November 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 subject September 12, 2006

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

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!!!
 book tries hard but accomplishes nothing June 24, 2006

Over the years I have had an avid interest in the paranormal. I have read books by numerous authors, and looked forward to this book being one of the best. I found however a book that seemed to wander as though lost,and the author was searching for a direction to go with it but never quite found it. I have taken my law enforcement training and experience, and coupled it with other books on this subject, and found the scientific methods of investigation to be very similar. I am afraid that this book,apart from the poor spelling, and composition would be confusing to novice investigators, and would give them erroneous information, on a subject that is complicated to begin with. I am sure Mr.Taylor means well, but there are much better books out there for the beginner,or the experienced investigator. The later version is no real improvement either
One of the BEST! June 7, 2006

Mr Taylor's book clearly explains terms and definitions for a successful investigation. He provides the basics for beginners as well as more thorough information for the professional. An excellent addition to the professional investigator's library! This is also the required material for Mr. Taylor's home study course, and is the perfect "text book" for any beginner!
