Please note: This post contains affiliate links. It has literally no bearing on my selection, as I have the entire stock on Amazon to choose from, and it’s in Moody Moon’s best interest to pick books I really think you’ll like. It costs you nothing, but I’m supposed to tell you about it in case you live under a rock and think bloggers work full time for free.

The Ghost Studies by Brandon Massullo
If you are planning a Samhain paranormal investigation, put this one in your Amazon cart and check it out right away.
Obviously, any author that attempts to approach paranormal experience from a scientific perspective risks his reputation for discerning thought.
But I applaud the effort.
If you enjoy highly theoretical ideas about the paranormal, this one makes for a thought-provoking read.
And if you think paranormal research is all nonsense, you’ll at least know who you’re arguing with by the end of it.
