For more than a decade, Michael Baker stepped into the quiet margins of the paranormal-attics thick with dust, locked wards gone to ruin, silent farmhouses where someone swore the air moved on its own. He arrived with an engineer's eye and a camera's patience, chasing the thin line between the extraordinary and the explainable.

Produktbeschreibung
For more than a decade, Michael Baker stepped into the quiet margins of the paranormal-attics thick with dust, locked wards gone to ruin, silent farmhouses where someone swore the air moved on its own. He arrived with an engineer's eye and a camera's patience, chasing the thin line between the extraordinary and the explainable. Along the way he built his own instruments, tested the popular gadgets, and walked alongside families convinced they were living with something unseen. What he discovered was not just flickers in the dark, but a culture where belief often outpaced evidence and where performance too easily passed for proof.

Giving Up the Ghost is both a record of that search and a reckoning with the industry that grew around it. Part memoir, part investigative narrative, it examines the power-and the danger-of claiming authority over the unknown. Baker explores how fear is marketed as fact, how television blurred entertainment with investigation, and how faith in equipment often replaced science. He reveals the toll of chasing answers in a world where every silence begged to be filled, and where the line between witness and showman was too often crossed.

This is not a catalog of hauntings or a skeptic's easy dismissal. It is a clear-eyed exploration of the space between curiosity and certainty. With sharp detail and hard-won perspective, Baker traces why people believe, why they want to believe, and why so many investigators are willing to exploit that hope. It is also the story of leaving - of realizing that integrity sometimes means walking away, even when the mystery remains unsolved.

More than a personal memoir, Giving Up the Ghost is an account of a subculture that shaped a generation of television, tours, and conventions, and of one investigator's refusal to surrender truth for spectacle. It asks the questions that matter most: what does it mean to call something evidence, and what do we owe those who trust us to get it right?
