Ghost: Investigating the Other Side

With the same personal style in which she undertook "Piercing the Darkness: Undercover with Vampires in America Today", Katherine Ramsland turns her “participant journalism” toward the world of ghost hunters. She’d acquired a reputedly haunted ring from a self-described vampire, and with it she moves right into the world of digital imagery, infrared videotaping, electronic voice phenomena, overnights alone in haunted rooms, séances, and ghost hunting. She once believed you just sat around in graveyards and waited for ghosts. How wrong she was! The extraordinary investigative memoir takes readers into the action, and they learn as Ramsland learns how to record the voice and image of a ghost. No stranger to risk, she does anything and everything to contact the paranormal. At the same time, she studies those around her who believe in these phenomena.
