Summary: recommended for all beginners
Review: There is a little detective in all of us, but in most cases one wouldn't know where to begin. If you are curious about possible existence of paranormal phenomenon this book gives you that place to start. Whether a skeptic,a believer,this book gives the information needed to begin simple investigations in a manner that is easy to understand. For someone who hasn't had years of experience in the paranormal, or criminal investigation some of the books available can be intimidating. Mr Southalls book however makes you feel that doing your own investigation is within abilities. This book is not perfect, but it give an excellent starting point for the novice to begin investigating from.

Summary: Strange pursuit ...
Review: This book is a field guide for the prospective paranormal investigator. It provides information on how to form a group for the investigation of the paranormal, how to research haunted areas and much more. The advice is very practical and the author obviously has years of experience in this field. He provides details on the types of entities likely to be encountered, like ghosts, spirits or dangerous spirit creatures that are best left to an experienced exorcist. I found the sections on how to capture paranormal phenomena on film and how to record disembodied voices and sounds on tape particularly interesting, as these are easy to do with equipment that most people already have. What's more, it can be done anywhere as all walls and buildings contain some residue of recorded voices. Plenty of sources for material are provided, as well as contact details of organisations devoted to studying these phenomena. The book contains photographs, an appendix, a glossary, bibliography and index. It is a very thorough handbook for those who wish to pursue this rather unusual hobby.

Summary: Open the Third Eye
Review: This was my first how-to book and I have to say I'm very impressed. The pictures, guides, Southall's experiences, techniques, and more, all rolled into this itty-bit book. Don't let the size fool you. This book has pictures where you, yourself, can search for signs of paranormal things like orbs and faces of the passed. If you're planning to go on a ghost hunt, this is one book you cannot be without.
