Book Description

Finally back in print after more than 10 criminally neglected years on the remainder pile, GHOSTS FROM OUR PAST is the ultimate guide to understanding and identifying paranormal pests, and then stopping their moaning, shrieking, and rattling once and for all.
Inside, Ghostbusters cofounders Erin Gilbert and Abby L. Yates will share both their deeply personal experiences with the supernatural and theories about what ghosts are and why they haunt. They will also arm readers with helpful, guidebook-like descriptions of various paranormal phenomena as well as basic explanations--drawn from at least two and a half semesters of undergraduate research--of the science behind catching them (not to mention some handy tips on how to clean up slime they leave behind). While the original edition ran an enthusiastic 400-plus pages, this "abridged" version will maintain the spirit of the original while losing some rambling chapters that, frankly, the authors don't even understand anymore.
With this former B. Dalton regional bestseller and Waldenbooks "Pick of the Week" in hand, readers will be prepared for almost any ghost, ghoul, and spook that comes their way. For the rest, well, you know who to call.
