    About this ebook

    "In Ghosthunters, John Kachuba explores some of America's great haunts while he introduces us to the people who actually go searching for ghosts. His writing takes the reader on a haunted journey—it's like riding shotgun with him while he creeps through haunted asylums, abandoned farmhouses, and historic battlefields, and speaks with some of the biggest names in this field of study. If something goes bump in the night, have no fear—John Kachuba won't be far behind." —Jeff Belanger, founder of Ghostvillage.com and author of The World's Most Haunted Places
     
    Why do ghosts fascinate so many people?

    To answer that question, writer and paranormal researcher John Kachuba aka “The Ghosthunter” investigates haunted locations throughout the country and interviews scores of people who have had paranormal encounters. The author discovers a growing interest in ghosts today, which has spurred an American pop culture phenomenon based on the supernatural.
    Combining his case reports of actual hauntings, discussions with leading figures in the paranormal world, and stories about related subjects–buying ghosts on eBay, buying and selling haunted houses, ghost tourism–Ghosthunters presents an intriguing and witty look at America’s paranormal world. Set off down the trail of the paranormal and read about:
    • A ghost hunt in a Connecticut coffee shop with lay religious demonologist David Considine.
    • Spending the night with the ghost of Miss Lily at St. Augustine, Florida’s historic St. Francis Inn.
    • Spiritualist minister Rev. Rose Vanden Eynden’s abilities to talk with the dead.
    • The search for the headless inmate on a ghost hunt at West Virginia’s Moundsville State Penitentiary.

      The author is a ghost hunter as well as a skeptic. Through the course of the book he explores a number of different venues and how others look for ghost and or how to get them to the other side. He speaks with the woman who is the show Ghost Whisperer is loosely based on. He visits haunted locations such as a hotel in St Augustine, FL and a haunted former Asylum now owned by a university in Ohio. He also explores how to become a certified ghost hunter by means of an online course and/or class room training. Was interesting to see numerous points of views on ghosts and ghost hunting etc all in one book.

      GhosthuntersOn the Trail of Mediums, Dowsers, Spirit Seekers, andOther Investigators of America's Paranormal Worldby John KachubaWell whew, this one really caught my attention, 249 pages of freak me out and amaze me all at the same time. I got in a debate with myself about the best time to review this book, first I thought well not at night and then when I picked it up I couldn't put it down so it didn't make any difference anyway. I just loved the ghostology quiz in the beginning of the book.I learned so much about people both here and passed, and the author's laid back storytelling style had me in stitches. Which kind of surprised me considering the subject matter. The personal stories were fantastic, and the pictures were great too. It seemed just when I started to get scared the next paragraph would have me cracking up again. I would recommend this astounding read to anyone looking for some good info and haunting tales of the paranormal. Thanks John, for the whole package.Love & Light,Riki Frahmann

      I learned from this book that there are very many freaky things in the world. And not to read such books when one lives alone. Nor to read such books late at night. :)
