Reviewed by Rachel A Hyde

There are lots of books of true ghost stories, many of which describe in detail the places where the hauntings occur so you can visit for yourself. This book goes one further, as it is a guide to how to "identify and investigate" ghosts.

The Ghost Club was founded in 1862, but people have been seeing ghosts and recording their experiences since Roman times. This book describes what you need to equip yourself with in order to (hopefully) see and record paranormal activity and explains how ghost hunting has changed down the years. There are lists of the most haunted cities, pubs, castles, roads etc., in the UK and elsewhere, descriptions of famous hauntings and how they were investigated. This is the sort of book you can happily dip into at odd occasions, open any page and there is something interesting to discover. A chapter with proof for the existence of the paranormal balanced out with plenty of tales of hoaxes and how they were debunked makes for a thought-provoking read. It is good to know that you don't need a lot of equipment to start ghost hunting either, and even if you don't believe in ghosts there is plenty of evidence for their existence in here. In short, the sort of book that gives pleasure for quite a long time which is a good thing to say about anything.
