This is a revised 2nd edition with up-to-date resources. The previous subtitle was: Ghost Hunting in the New Millennium

In cases when mysterious phenomena such as apparitions, hauntings, and poltergeists jar the way we think about the material world, the experts in paranormal research both outside and inside the lab can provide explanations based on over a century of investigation. A parapsychologist/paranormal investigator, the author of this volume plumbs more than 25 years of experience to create a personal and captivating account of events both common and uncommon to the field of paranormal research. Anecdotes and studies in this revised 2nd edition run the gamut from encounters with conscious entities and imprints of past events and from unexplained physical effects to those events that may seem paranormal but instead have more normal, if not common, explanations. Credible research centers and resources are discussed, and advice is given on how to judge the credibility of self-professed ghost hunters.
