Not since the founding of The Ghost Club in 1862 has ghost hunting been so
popular . . .

In this comprehensive guide, Dr Leo Ruickbie explains in compelling detail how to hunt ghosts: from evaluating an initial report and choosing the right equipment to investigating and correctly identifying the phenomena. He reveals the best places to look for ghosts, different methods for contacting the spirit world, and how paranormal activity may be explained - also, crucially, how to survive an encounter.

Drawing on 130 years of research, he uncovers the most intriguing ghost stories, while also discovering the views, motivations and experiences of contemporary ghost hunters in the first survey of its kind. He analyses close to 1, 000 reported phenomena from hundreds of locations and looks at the results of over 700 investigations into hauntings.

'With so many ghost hunting guides available on the market, how does the aspiring ghost hunter know where to start? The answer is here, in Dr Leo Ruickbie's no-nonsense and down-to-earth book.' Jason Karl, Paranormal Investigator for Most Haunted

'Every ghost hunter, whether professional or amateur should read this book. All will learn from it.' Alan Murdie, Chairman, The Ghost Club

Portrait

Leo Ruickbie

Dr LEO RUICKBIE, PhD (Lond), MA, BA (Hons), Associate of King's College, is a professional writer, editor, social scientist and historian, specialising in controversial areas of human belief and experience.

His PhD is from King's College, London, for his thesis on contemporary witchcraft and magic use, building on research on the theory of re-enchantment that won him an MA with distinction from Lancaster University. He is the author of several books - Witchcraft Out of the Shadows (2004 and 2011), Faustus: The Life and Times of a Renaissance Magician (2009), A Brief Guide to the Supernatural (2012), A Brief Guide to Ghost Hunting (2013) and The Impossible Zoo (2016) - as well as numerous publications in scholarly journals, magazines, such as Fortean Times, and newspapers, including the Daily Express. He is also the co-editor with Dr Simon Bacon of Little Horrors: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Anomalous Children and the Construction of Monstrosity (2016), and with Dr Antje Bosselmann-Ruickbie of The Material Culture of Magic (forthcoming).

As well as writing, he is the editor of the Paranormal Review, the magazine of the Society for Psychical Research, established in 1882 for the scientific study of what we now call the 'paranormal', and has worked on several editorial projects for the Rö misch-Germanisches Zentralmuseum (Romano-German Central Museum) in Mainz, Germany. In addition, he is an elected member of the Royal Historical Society, a council member of the Society for Psychical Research, a committee member of the Gesellschaft fü r Anomalistik (Society for Anomalistics), as well as a member of the Parapsychological Association and the Royal Anthropological Institute.

He has appeared several times on the Travel Channel series Mysteries at the Castle and his work has been mentioned in the media from the Guardian to Radio Jamaica. Not only has his expertise been sought by film companies, museums and charities, but he is also cited in the current student book for A-Level Sociology in the UK.
