Product Description
What is legend tripping? There's a good chance you've already done it. Remember sneaking off into that cemetery at night as a kid to see if there were any ghosts? What about hearing there was a monster lurking in that old abandoned building and wanting to check it out? Or reading about a UFO landing site and wanting to plan your next vacation in the area so you could stand where the craft was said to have left its mark? That's legend tripping. But it's also so much more. Any television program you've ever seen that explores haunted places, ancient mysteries, UFO sightings, or strange creatures is legend tripping. First there was a story: a legend that was born and grew because people had unexplained experiences and shared what they saw, heard, and felt. In Picture Yourself Legend Tripping: Your Complete Guide to Finding UFOs, Monsters, Ghosts, and Urban Legends in Your Own Backyard, you'll learn how to find, explore, and document these amazing, and often paranormal, occurrences. And you don't need expensive equipment or training, because this book will show you how to have an incredible adventure in your own backyard this weekend. Bring your open mind and your sense of wonder. Get ready for legend tripping!

Good Introduction to the Paranormal, Nov 2 2010
By Michael A. Smith - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Picture Yourself Legend Tripping: Your Complete Guide to Finding UFOs, Monsters, Ghosts, and Urban Legends in Your Own Backyard (Paperback)
"Picture Yourself Legend Tripping" is a good, concise introduction to the paranormal, best for those who have yet to delve into the subject. Belanger, a writer for the Travel Channel's sometimes silly Ghost Adventures, covers all the bases, from Atlantis to zombies, and includes advice on acquiring equipment, interviewing witnesses, researching local legends and writing reports. His own writing style is casual and conversational, with corny jokes and plays on words.If you know little about the paranormal, or so far have limited your research to only one aspect, this is a good book for you. It tells you enough about all the facets of the subject to let you decide what to investigate next. On the other hand, if you've been at this for a while, you probably won't learn very much.
So, my bottom line is, if you want a good overview, try this book. If you already know about MUFON, the Nazca lines, chupacabra and the upcoming apocalypse, you might want to look for more focused material.

A great reason to get out with the family, Aug 1 2010
By Rob Robinson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Picture Yourself Legend Tripping: Your Complete Guide to Finding UFOs, Monsters, Ghosts, and Urban Legends in Your Own Backyard (Paperback)
If you enjoyed reading the Hardy Boys or Nancy Drew stories and pictured yourself out there with them or watched the movie "The Goonies" and craved to go out have an adventure like them, than you are a Legend Tripper. My wife Tracy and I love to got out each weekend and go out and look for Bigfoot or go on a ghost hunt or just find some place where a legend started. I didn't know there was a term for people like us until I purchased and read Jeff Belanger's Legend Tripping. After you read this book, you are going to want to grab your family and get out and go see what is out there. Every state and I mean every state has some mystery place or legend to go see. This book is a great start to get your trip planned. Jeff has down a great job putting the book together. The whole family can enjoy this book. Parents, I warn you if you let your kids read the book, you had better be prepared to get up off the couch and take your kids on a legend trip. They are going to want to go Legend Tripping. I promise you will not be dispointed. Legend Tripping can bring a family together. Any family can go to Disney World or go see the Grand Canyon. Try taking your family on a Bigfoot hunt or go find a place that is suppose to be haunted (proved that it is not off limits or private property) and see what happens. Now those are memories to last forever.

Was a pleasant surprise!, July 15 2010

This review is from: Picture Yourself Legend Tripping: Your Complete Guide to Finding UFOs, Monsters, Ghosts, and Urban Legends in Your Own Backyard (Paperback)
I was not familiar with the term Legend Tripping so being a fan of all things paranormal and of Mr. Belanger I picked up the book as soon as I saw it for pre-order. I will say the book is easily one of my favorites he has written. Very informative and intelligent and gives a whole new perspective on real paranormal investigating. Man did the tips and ideas bring back memories. I have been LEGEND TRIPPING my whole life and now I have a name to associate with what I have done.Jeff, well done and a great read! I suggest anyone interested in the paranormal and local mysteries and histories to get this book.
Listmania!
