I finished reading this book on the flight home from Florida last week. It's an interesting read, but it leaves much to be desired. Have you ever considered writing a book about paranormal investigation?

I honestly havent found one book that I agree with everything....  I honestly think it just might be impossible to write a paranormal book that just nails it...due to all the differenced in people and how each person might interpret things differently.  you know what I mean?

I agree; all of the "How To" books on this subject seem to be lacking in serious content. I especially do not like when the authors of such books make up fancy new phrases to describe phenomena that the majority of field researchers already classify with specific titles. What's wrong with calling a Residual Haunt a Residual Haunt?
