UNKNOWN

A creak of the floorboard. The wind whistling in the eaves. The rustle of some small creature-a mouse, maybe-scurrying in the basement. These are all sounds you might expect to hear in an old house.

But what if they were signs of something more?

Paranormal investigator Dawn J. Schofield knows from experience that not all strange phenomena have a rational explanation. In her thirty years of ghost hunting, she's seen, heard, and even smelled things she couldn't debunk-and now she's here to show you how to capture your own evidence of specters and spirits. In this guide, she shares her approach to paranormal investigation, gives tips for location sourcing, explains the tools of the trade, and much more.

Along the way, she tells true, spine-tingling tales of ghostly encounters from her own life, from unexplained apparitions to disembodied voices to terrifying contact with spirits through a Ouija board.

By the end of this book, you'll know all about the equipment, techniques, and unwritten rules you need to start exploring the supernatural.

Now the only thing left to do is muster the courage to face the unknown.

Dawn J. Schofield has a lifelong interest in things that go bump in the night. After growing up in a haunted house in New Hope, Pennsylvania, she eventually dipped her toes into ghost hunting and never looked back. As a paranormal investigator, Dawn has explored cemeteries, houses, inns and hotels, and even historic sites like the HMS Queen Mary.

She believes anyone can get into paranormal investigation if they have the desire to do it. That's why she turned to writing-to share her experiences with others, encourage them to pursue their passions, and teach the basics of paranormal investigation to newbies who may not be sure where to start.

Ghost Hunting is Dawn's first book. She lives in New Jersey with her two cats, Magick and Melissa.
