Customer Reviews

Loyd Auerbach Is a Breath of Fresh Air

This is a terrific book from one of the pioneers in the field of paranormal research. In A Paranormal Casebook, Auerbach relates interesting cases in which he has been involved, and he does so in a clear-headed and logical fashion. As a parapsychologist, Auerbach's approach to paranormal investigation is logical, methodical and based on true paranormal research. Read his work, and you'll get a better idea of what is really going on in the field of paranormal research. I'd highly recommend this book for anyone who truly wants to understand paranormal phenomena.

Ghost Hunting and Parapsychology - Is there a Difference?

This is a wonderful book that examines the ever growing field of "Ghost Hunting" and Paranormal Investigations. It brings a strong dose of critical thinking for anyone who wants to venture out into the night through dark cemeteries and the basements of creepy looking old houses. I am grateful for Auerbach's scientific approach to the paranormal, PSI phenomena and the practical outworking of field research. Auerbach is one of the very few people in the world who actually has an accredited Masters degree in Parapsychology and is one of the top minds of the professional Parapsychological community. He is one of the rare individuals who rightly explains why "hunting for ghosts" in cemeteries (especially in the dark of night) is extremely contrary to true field research and reveals the difference between "hunting ghosts" for adult fun (a type of mature thrill-seeking) and truly approaching paranormal investigations with the desire of finding real answers. This book is a welcome tonic in the midst of so many so-called "scientific" paranormal investigation shows on TV and paranormal investigation groups throughout the country. Just because one uses "advanced techonolgy" during an investigation does NOT make the investigation scientific or even rational. Hopefully more and more people who want true answers about Life after Death, Spirits, and Psychic Phenomena will discover Auerbach's great books. I've read most of the books by so-called "ghost hunting experts" and find a great distance between such books and Auerbach's. The main difference is Parapsychology. Auerbach understands it and uses it and the others don't. If you don't know the difference then arm yourself with it. Be very weary of anyone who claims to be an "expert" in this field just because of the amount of investigations that they have done, because they are the president or leader of a paranormal group, or because of how many books they have written. Study Parapsychology. Auerbach explains and uses it in all of his books, and with it you will have the tools to recognize the self-proclaimed authorities and their un-scientific explanations. Mostly all of the Paranormal Investigation groups today as well as the more famous TV shows of the same suffer from two main problems - ignorance and arrogance. Ignorance because of their woeful lack of real science (Parapsychology) and arrogance because their pride scoffs at the notion that they need to be more educated in their knowledge and understanding of the paranormal from where they are at now. Most leaders of these groups do not follow Parapsychology, do not continually seek better, more scientific understanding of the phenomena, nor are really humble people when it comes to these matters. The longer you are in this field the more you will find this the case. Remember, at its most basic level, science is supposed to represent the investigation of the unexplained, NOT the explanation of the uninvestigated. To be ignorant o

A fascinating read

This is a terrific new book from America's best known ghostbuster, parapsychologist Loyd Auerbach. I suppose in some ways the title is a bit misleading, because this is far more than just a collection of ghost cases that Loyd has investigated. It covers all the basics. What ghosts are. What poltergeists are. What hauntings are. What makes them different. How you deal with them. What the right way is to approach a case. How to do a good investigation. And, perhaps more importantly (although often forgotten), how do you actually HELP the people who are having these experiences. I love this book. It's written in a wonderfully clear style and full of interesting tales of things that go bump in the night (not all of which are ghosts!). A great buy for anyone interested in paranormal phenomena.
