Typical 'ghost story' book, but this is a reprint of a book first published in 1965.
Based on the ghost hunting career of Hans Holzer, the author, the 'hunting' consists mostly of researching property titles for historic data to match to any info shared by various mediums/clairvoyants Hans uses in the haunted homes and castles. Hans conducts interviews of those who claim to have witnessed the sights or sounds of ghostly doings across America and in several European countries.
So no high-tech gizmos are used to scientifically 'prove' the presence of beings who haven't 'crossed-over' following violent deaths. But it was interesting to hear how one of the mediums performed during the many seances held in the haunted buildings. (I do not use the word 'performed' as any implication that she was 'faking' any of her 'readings' of the psychic goings-on.)
I found the writing style lacking and that's one reason for my lower star rating, other than 'discovering' that the 'research' was done over a half decade ago, rather than being based upon more recent expeditions.
