About the author
Deborah Collard is the author of the Haunted Southern Nights series, a self-published run of books drawn from her work as a psychic medium and her collaborations with paranormal investigators in Alabama. Haunted Southern Nights Vol. 1: Ghost Hunting, The Basics + (2007) introduces her background as founder of the North-Eastern Alabama Paranormal Society in Guntersville and lays out the fundamentals of investigation as she practises them. Vol. 2, The Haunted Backyard (2008) focuses on a specific reputedly haunted site close to home, while Vol. 4, Using a Psychic On a Paranormal Investigation (2011) addresses how a psychic's involvement can shape an investigation's course. Collard describes her method as combining scientific approaches with her own sensitivity to paranormal activity. The series is aimed at readers already interested in ghost hunting as a practice, offering a first-person, regionally specific account rather than a general survey of the paranormal.
