Throughout history, the investigation of paranormal phenomena and the mediumship process seems to have been at odds with one another. There has been a resurgence of this attitude with the popularity of reality "ghost hunting" programs in the media. Proving the continuity of life from many paranormal

investigators' viewpoints categorizes mediumship as not being scientific. Is it possible for the medium to have a critical role on a paranormal investigation team? Absolutely!

This large gap of non-trust between the mediumship community and paranormal investigation may be attributed to a lack of understanding on both sides of just what each of these folks actually do and can contribute to the process, being much like "brothers from different mothers."

This book explores the history of ghost hunting and the mediums and ghost hunters that were at the top in their field, both now and then. It identifies types of hauntings, entities, and phenomena and discusses strategies and issues connected with ushering troubled souls to their next plane of existence. It also provides guidelines and methods that can be used in an investigation that combines the scientific and etheric processes to bring together the best of both these worlds for mediums and investigators alike.
