Ghost Trackers

---

Parents need to know that younger kids and even sensitive early graders may be frightened by some of the show's creepy stories of hauntings and homicides and spooky sound effects.

Other than that, there's not really any specific content to object to for any age, so it's up to you to know your kids and decide whether they're ready for even the mildest ghost stories.

The contestants are old enough to be savvy to the competition and the need to play up their paranormal experiences -- but too young to be particularly good at either. Even younger kids will be able to see through them as they fake sensing the supernatural, or, better yet, try to hide their genuine fear. With the host feeding them scary stories through their headsets while they're alone at night in a strange place, even the most confident get a little wobbly at times.

Some kids will be frightened, either by the show's atmosphere -- sound effects and spooky music accompany the host's every word -- or by the stories of the hauntings. Others will just get a pleasurable chill or two. Parents may wish for a little more discussion of the series' "scientific" ghost tracking methods what does a change in temperature really prove, anyway? But overall, this is a fun family show for middle graders and up. Families can talk about why the kids who participate in the show get involved.

Ghost Trackers TV Review

Can you tell which ones are really interested and which might just be looking for their "big break"? Families can also discuss the nature of the competition and the show's voting process. Can you tell which kids are playing for the camera, or perhaps exaggerating their experiences? Do you think there might be some reason other than ghost tracking that some contestants cast their votes?

This easily read book is based on the TV series "Ghost Trackers" which showcases kids, already taught how to use the equipment and what to look for, to investigate purported locations of paranormal activity. The book's purpose is to give kids enough knowledge to do their own investigations. I've never seen the show. The author breaks the book down by giving a little bit on history, science involved in investigating, the different types of ghosts or spirits, some famous haunted sites, and information on what you need and should do if you want to try this yourself.

Sprinkled throughout the book are colorful pictures and interesting tidbits and stories. What I found most unusual is that the author says multiple times that no one really knows if ghosts exist. As someone with paranormal experiences, I would have appreciated more information and examples on the different subjects, although the book is geared towards kids who are probably more interested in getting to the "how to track and what to look for" portions of the book.

Ghost Trackers: The Unreal World of Ghosts, Ghost-Hunting, and the Paranormal

Sensible advice is given on what you need and should do, although while describing the equipment needed, it doesn't say how to use it. Kids watching the show might already have a good idea. Overall it's a decent book for the target audience. It really is a shame this book turned out so poorly. I know this is a tie-in to the TV show that goes by the same name and so, therefore, maybe I should be more forgiving of the constant use of Ghost Trackers throughout the book.

However, it is borderline disrespectful, in my view, to call parapsychologists and paranormal investigators and researchers by that name the entire time and rarely use the proper titles. If that were the biggest concern, I really wouldn't have a problem with this book, but that's the least of the flaws. The book starts off very strongly, acknowledging the history of psychical research, even if it is brief.

This is perfectly understandable when considering the target audience for the book. It certainly is pleasant to look at and keeps its points succinct and moves along at a brisk pace. At this point, I would still consider recommending this to those in the initial stages of looking into paranormal investigation and research.

However, after the history, the book completely falls short on many counts.
