From the presenters of Living TV's "Most Haunted", GHOST HUNTERS is an explosive guide that opens the world of ghosts to new initiates and serious fans. It contains "exclusive" case files from Yvette Fielding and Ciaran O'Keefe's own investigations, carried out expressly for the book. It also discusses the history of hauntings, and the pros and cons of various investigative techniques - as well as spooky phenomena like orbs and poltergeists, and how to tell if you've really seen a ghost. In Part One Yvette and Ciaran re-open the case files of some of the world's most famous hauntings, including the Enfield poltergeist and the original Exorcist, and come to new conclusions based on today's expertise. In Part Two, Yvette and Ciaran have chosen five new cases never examined before and carried out their own investigations, in locations including a Cheshire family home, a deserted shipyard and an abandoned church - now used as a nightclub. Thoroughly researched and full of exciting new material, this is THE ghost book for the serious fan.
"A collection of chilling stories...eerily believable and truly spooky...very strongly recommended..."--Midwest Book Review Most people think of ghosts as rare, elusive creatures that are more or less inaccessible to the average Joe. Sure, we read about them, watch TV shows about them and tell stories about them, but we'll probably never run into one--right? Don't be so sure. Even if you've never personally encountered a ghost, chances are you know someone who has. The Ghost Next Door takes a revealing look into the lives of average, everyday people from across the country who have had experiences in the realm of the unexplained. Whether you're a true believer in ghosts or a hard-nosed skeptic, you're sure to get a chill or two when you read about the woman who was visited by her grandfather...on the night of his funeral! Or the man who was forced to move by a troublesome spirit...only to find it had followed him! As you make your way through these and other genuinely spooky stories, you'll probably find that ghostly encounters are a lot more common than you had imagined. Could there be a "haunted house" in your town? Perhaps on your very street? Maybe even right next door?
In this authoritative book, Phil Whyman - paranormal investigator and member of Living TV's Most Haunted team - introduces the reader to the different forms of paranormal activity that can be encountered at a haunted site. He explains what ghosts are and the different forms they can take, orbs and light anomalies, and poltergeist phenomena. He then goes on to detail the equipment used in an investigation and to provide a guide to conducting one, taking into account such diverse issues as moon phases and approaching location owners. Phil's in-depth analysis includes information on aspects of paranormal investigation not usually found in books of this type, such as magnetic field interference, earth tremor and residual energy theory. The book also includes reports on investigations that Phil has undertaken as well as accounts from members of the public.
A practical introduction to many unexplained phenomena, this book gives an informed overview of the current methods of research used by real-life investigators and includes easy guides to investigating phenomena for yourself.'
