Description
SOME SAY THIS BOOK IS CONTROVERSIAL! Why? Because children shouldn't be included in paranormal investigation! Because Ghost Hunting isn't a family outing! Because there shouldn't be mini-Ghost Hunters! This book is different from others because in addition to giving tips, training and inspiration to experienced investigators, it promotes the idea that Family includes Children. David Bryan Lawrence is a coach and in The Family Guide to Ghost Hunting has combined this skill with history, technique and good humor to help you build your own paranormal team. Other readers called this book a "Paranormal Bible," Some have labeled it the "Philosophy of Paranormal Investigation." It is not simply a technical manual but combines case studies with actual technique to elevate the overall learning process. In other words, it creates a story that all ages will find entertaining enough to have fun while they learn! If you are interested in how to determine whether your family and children are ready for paranormal investigation, the tests and information are here. If you are interested in the practices and forming a paranormal team, the information is here. If you are interested in learning more about spirits and ghosts, the information is here. If you are interested in equipment and its use, the information is here. If you are interested in the meaning of paranormal terms, the information is here. If you are interested in scary ghost stories, they are here throughout the book. If you are interested in seeing locations, activity and teams at work, with over 150 photographs; you can see all of these. You will even come to know the author, his UPST crew, their equipment and adventures, all while gaining a substantial understanding of the paranormal field!

He has been a paranormal investigator since 1974 and has educated students in the field since 1982. David is the founder of the UPST (Upper Peninsula Spook Team) which offers training academies for fledgling ghost hunters across the Midwest and elsewhere. David's personal experience includes West Coast hunts like the Del Coronado in San Diego, Alcatraz off of San Francisco and the Queen Mary in L.A. East Coast adventures include the now demolished Greystone Asylum, and the Pine Barrens of New Jersey, various locations in Philadelphia, the Waldorf in N.Y., etc. A few of his out of country visits include Tulum and Chichen Itza pyramids, with their sacrificial pits in Mexico and the mystical Voo Doo huts of Haiti. David's other passion is coaching and in The Family Guide to Ghost Hunting he has combined this skill with history, technique and good humor to help you build your own paranormal team. Christian Lawrence is a thirteen year old grade school student in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Having started his paranormal career at the age of four, Christian has hunted at least every other weekend for years in six states and two countries. He now conducts his own "KID" sessions at UPST academies and has gained renown as likely the most experienced investigator of his age in North America. His contributions to The Family Guide to Ghost Hunting are not limited to his sometimes humorous CN's (Christian Notes) but extend to photo and overall editing.
