This work is a common sense approach to the investigation and resolution of cases of reported ghostly happenings, hauntings, and poltergeists. It covers what parapsychologists think ghosts are and how to best deal with the phenomena and the experiences of the people having them.

Based on parapsychology research from the last 100 years, Ghost Hunting explains what ghosts are, contains true-life case histories, and covers every step of the investigative process, from the initial call and assessment, to on-site techniques and technology, to actually expelling the apparition. Other topics include separating the normal (fraudulent or mistaken cases) from the paranormal; using psychics in investigations; and addressing legal, ethical, and media issues. Photographs, illustrations, charts, tables, and worksheets are included in this commonsense approach to this field.
