NEW updated and expanded version with even greater detail and the latest science/discoveries. Paranormal Investigation, and especially ghost-hunting, have long been regarded as pseudoscience and dismissed as nonsense by closed-minded members of the traditional scientific community. We believe they are wrong to take this approach. Just because they cannot currently detect paranormal phenomena on-demand in a laboratory does not mean it does not exist. This, in and of itself, is an unscientific approach. This book takes a dual approach with an objective look at the wider subject of paranormal investigation and a more detailed look at certain critically important aspects. It details in a step-by-step way how to approach any investigation from the planning stage into the walk-through and then the post-investigation data analysis and debrief phase. It outlines best practices, training suggestions for you and your team, and an outline of what should and should not be done during an investigation. This book also contains several accounts of previously untold paranormal events and encounters that have taken place, and it suggests where to find potentially paranormally active and 'haunted' locations. It also documents a ground-breaking UFO sighting, which is extremely rare. This is because, before the encounter, a wide array of scientific testing and measuring equipment had been deployed for an entirely different purpose. This enabled the team to capture hard data and evidence during the encounter. Crucially, two government workers were also present, raising the encounter's alert status and official follow-up investigation. This book is ideal for those new to paranormal investigation and more experienced investigators who want to learn more about applying a critical-path scientific approach. It also contains a special scientific critical path graphic page that can be photocopied for you and your team to work from when devising ghost-hunting experiments and training team members. Perhaps most importantly, the book contains a step-by-step guide on performing a clearing/smudging within a section about protecting yourself from malevolent paranormal entities that could attack or attach to you or your equipment.
