Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook
Curious about ghost hunting but not sure where to begin? One resource that often gets recommended by our professional guides and investigators here at Ghost Augustine is The Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook. Written by Richard Palmisano and Peter J. Roe of Canada’s Searcher Group, it’s a go-to guide for anyone who wants to dive deeper into the world of paranormal research.
Why Our Team Trusts This Book
When you join us on a ghost tour in St. Augustine, you’ll notice that our guides aren’t just great storytellers-they’re trained investigators who actually work with paranormal equipment and techniques every night. Many of them recommend this handbook because it cuts through the fluff and focuses on real investigative methods.
Unlike other “how-to” books that lean heavily on gimmicks or drama, this one is based on over forty years of hands-on fieldwork. It encourages readers to think critically, stay organized, and investigate responsibly. That’s the same approach our team uses when leading guests through some of the most haunted locations in the nation’s oldest city.

Pairing the Book with Real Experience
Here’s the thing: no book can replace the thrill and the insight of a live investigation. That’s why our guides often tell guests: read the handbook, then join us in the field. Our ghost tours in St. Augustine let you use professional equipment like spirit boxes, REM pods, and EMF meters under the guidance of people who live and breathe this work.
Think of The Complete Paranormal Investigation Handbook as your classroom, and a Ghost Augustine tour as your lab. Together, they’ll give you the perfect mix of knowledge and real-world experience.
