Phil Whyman's Dead Haunted: Paranormal Encounters and Investigations is a 2007 non-fiction book by paranormal investigator Phil Whyman, published by New Holland Publishers, drawing on his experience as a member of the Most Haunted team.
Overview
The book introduces readers to the range of phenomena reported at supposedly haunted sites — including ghosts, orbs and light anomalies, and poltergeist activity — before moving into practical territory: the equipment used in an investigation, and a guide to conducting one, covering considerations such as moon phases and how to approach a location's owners for access.
Beyond the basics, the book also covers less commonly discussed angles of paranormal investigation, including magnetic field interference, earth tremor activity, and residual energy theory as possible explanations for reported hauntings. It includes accounts from Whyman's own investigations alongside reports submitted by members of the public — the same investigative practice that would later become the basis for Dead Haunted Nights.
