Confessions of a Ghost Hunter by Harry Price is an oldie worth a second read. Price was one of the first in the field of ghost research and while some of his methods now seem quaint and outdated, his ideas remain interesting.
Another oldie is James H. Hyslop's Contact with the Other World. Hyslop attempted to enlighten the public on certain aspects of the paranormal world, especially after death communications using a medium and a ouija board. For his troubles he was shunned by many of his colleagues.
Not nearly as old, are two by Arthur Meyers: The Ghostly Gazetteer and Ghosts of the Rich and Famous. I first read these two books many years ago and recently enjoyed rereading them once more. I know a couple who set out to visit every one of the sights mentioned in The Ghostly Gazetteer one summer. Car trouble and finances put a halt to their travels between the Whaley House in San Diego and the Baldpate Inn in Colorado. But that's another story...
What ever you do travelers don't forget your maps, your sunblock and your copy of Dennis Hauck's Haunted Places the National Directory.

Troy Taylor is releasing the third edition of his excellent book, The Ghosthunters' Guidebook. I own the two previous editions and will certainly add this one to my collection. I've said it before and I'll say it again, anything by Troy is always sure to be entertaining. This book is up to the minute and filled with essential information for anyone even the least bit interested in ghostly goings on.
