    The Ghost Hunter's Field Guide: Gettysburg and Beyond
    by Mark Nesbitt

    Review from "Haunted America Tours:"
    "In The Ghost Hunter’s Field Guide: Gettysburg & Beyond, renowned ghost story author, historian, and paranormal investigator, Mark Nesbitt, explores the world of the paranormal, focusing on the town of Gettysburg and the infamous battlefields that surround it.

    "The first half of the book delves into the history and phenomena of “ghosts,” reviews generally accepted paranormal theories, discusses best “ghost hunting” practices, and presents the reader with plausible explanations as to why paranormal activity is so prevalent in Gettysburg.

    "The second half of the book addresses the actual paranormal investigation. Designed to be used in the field, the town of Gettysburg and the battlefield are divided into six sections. The reader is provided with historical information, photos, maps, driving directions, and paranormal investigative tips and techniques unique to each geographic area. Experienced and amateur “ghost hunters” alike will profit from the advice and guidance offered in this one-of-a-kind book." 

    $10.95  I want to order this book.
