Casper you might be interested in this book
"The beginning investigator will find no better guide to professional inquiry than Robert A. Goerman's WEIRD HAPPENS Investigator Handbook. Meticulous in its organization, Goerman offers numerous checklists that will serve well to advise the beginner -- and to remind the more experienced investigator -- how to conduct an effective interview and how to amass meaningful research." Brad Steiger, author Real Ghosts, Restless Spirits and Haunted Places and 162 other books on the paranormal and weird
"Goerman stands out as a rare mediator between the skeptics and the believers. While respectfully acknowledging the genuine strangeness of weird experiences, he does what few skeptics take the trouble to do: Encourages investigators with effective tools for doing good science and collecting real data that will stand up to scrutiny." bob Dunning
"In WEIRD HAPPENS, Robert Goerman has provided an invaluable and indispensable tool for the budding paranomal investigator. Would that many popular, published authors had read this book before writing anything! It would have raised the level of discourse in this field by a huge margin." David F. Godwin, Managing Editor, FATE
ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Born March 3, 1952, Robert A. Goerman is a native of New Kensington, Pennsylvania. As an author and investigative scholar of the unknown and unexplained, he has been fortunate enough to have his research and writings featured in national magazines and serve as source material for many books and television shows.
"Yesterday’s status quo of endlessly recounting stale exaggerations of mysterious events and wishful contemplation of the paranormal has not increased our knowledge. The perpetual war between the blind denial of debunkers and the blind certainty of believers continues to distort and censor the data. Good research starts with factual information, evidence, and skeptical objectivity. Indeed, weird happens. What we do about it is entirely up to us." -- Robert Goerman
