⭐ Reader reviews
Reader rating
This exceeded my expectations. I appreciated how the argument builds steadily from first principles. There's real depth here that reveals itself on a second reading.
Took a chance on this and glad I did. Solid binding, decent paper — holds up to heavy use. Challenging in places, but never needlessly obscure.
Came across this title in a footnote and had to track it down. The typesetting is comfortable for study, with good margins for notes. Plenty of passages worth underlining; my copy is already full of margin notes. Highly recommend to serious students.
This edition finally does the material justice. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. My only regret is not ordering it sooner.
Been hunting for a decent copy of this text for ages. The print is clean and easy on the eyes for long sessions. If you're drawn to this subject, don't hesitate.
Hunter’s compilation serves as a functional guide for the active paranormal enthusiast rather than a literary masterpiece of dread. While the concept of quantifying spirit activity via 'haunt meters' is intriguing, the text relies heavily on anecdotal evidence from historic venues, which may feel repetitive to seasoned researchers seeking rigorous methodology. It is not suited for skeptics or those preferring academic rigor over experiential accounts. However, for the casual ghost hunter who enjoys a warm, encouraging tone and specific location data, it offers a delightful blend of local history and spiritualist practice, successfully turning the Great Lakes state into a theater of the unseen.
