Paracoustics : sound & the paranormal / edited by Steven T. Parsons & Callum E. Cooper.
"From the chain-rattling ghost of Pliny's first century Athens, to things that go bump in the night and 21st century electronic voice phenomena, sound has always fascinated paranormal researchers. This unique book examines that fascination and presents a selection of current research in paranormal acoustics together with a review of the equipment and techniques used by researchers and investigators, together with the physics and the psychology of sound and its association with the paranormal"--Cover, page [4].
