Description

Southerners are accustomed to hearing stories of a residence, an old hotel, a mansion, or a battlefield being haunted.

In Ghost Hunters of the South, Alan Brown shows that ghostlore is no longer enough for some.

The forty-four ghost hunting groups he profiles in this book pack cameras, Geiger counters, thermal scanners, oscilloscopes, tape recorders, computers, and dowsing rods to find and record elusive proof of supernatural activity.

With candor, the directors and team members reveal the passions and even obsessions that lead them to this expensive, time-consuming, and sometimes dangerous and chilling pursuit of evidence of the spirit realm.

Brown interviews enthusiasts from twelve states--Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia.

Ghost Hunters of the South takes the reader along on exciting and fearful investigations of places such as the Myrtles, St.

Francis Inn, Chickamauga Battlefield, Bob Mackey's Music World, Old Talbott Tavern, North Carolina State Capitol, Granberry Opera House, and 17Hundred90 Inn and Restaurant.

Brown participates in some of the investigations to gain a full and objective understanding of teachers, doctors, accountants, housewives, and law enforcement personnel, who devote much of their free time to a quest that many outsiders view with skepticism if not scorn.

In fascinating, frightening, and sometimes humorous accounts, Brown highlights the determination of these individuals to answer the question: ""What happens to the soul after death?"" Alan Brown is a professor of English and director of the Writing Center at the University of West Alabama.
