Ghost Hunters

Peter Underwood. The Ghost Hunters; Who They Are and What They Do. Hale, 1985.
🔻
An amiable and generally uncritical reminiscence of twentieth-century psychic researchers, from Harry Price to Andrew MacKenzie. The subjects of most of the profiles seem to have been old 'Ghost Club' buddies of Underwood, so it is understandable that sceptical assessments of their work are ignored or, particularly in the case of Price, very lightly dismissed. The world of the 'ghost-hunter' once again comes across as a pleasant little club of terribly civilised upper-middle-class people on country weekends. Still, the Gloucestershire Echo thinks well of it.
