Book Cover & Preview Text
“… a book that should be a part of any serious paranormal investigator’s library.”
Shawn and Dan have dedicated their investigative and research talents to refining what I believe will be one of the most-used techniques and tools in every haunting investigation, the Double- and Triple Blind Ghost Box process. They have produced a book that should be a part of any serious paranormal investigator’s library. Now you do not have to be a sensitive or medium to communicate with the dead; you can hear their answers while carrying out the investigation and be able to validate what your team’s sensitive is telling you. Having worked with Shawn, Dan, and their team at SAI at Antietam and Gettysburg battlefields, I know firsthand the integrity of their mission: to prove that there is life after death. This book is a must-read!

Preface:
“Fringe science is a study of theories that departs from the mainstream. It is remarkable that many widely accepted concepts were once considered fringe or even impossible such as atoms,nairplanes, space travel, continental drift and the big bang.” Dr. Michio Kaku
Since the dawn of time, man has explored beyond the reaches of his understanding. That which is not known to us beckons to come and see … if we dare. Many turned their backs; some covered their faces and peeked between their fingers with fear; while others watched from a distance as brave sailors set sail on an unknown sea. They waited to see if the adventurous would fall over the edge of the known world into the abyss or discover a whole new country. Nevertheless, the captains pressed on against the odds, personal fears, and public criticisms, and found an entirely new world. Many scientific breakthroughs have come from people who were considered heretics or lunatics. It is because of their perseverance that we have much of the knowledge that we do today.

About the Book
In recent years, the paranormal has gained new footing as reality television has grabbed onto this research and created a cultural frenzy around it. There are those who are skeptics, those who believe, and those who seek to prove the existence of the paranormal. In The Double-Blind Ghost Box, authors Shawn Taylor and Daniel Morgan share their research and personal experiences with the paranormal, focusing on the development and use of the ghost box, a device that can establish a two-way communication beyond death’s veil.
The Double-Blind Ghost Box reviews the process of Taylor and Morgan’s studies of the device, along with how they determined its usefulness in researching the paranormal. They explore the history of the ghost box and the issues arising in today’s ghost box methods, and they offer methods for conducting an objective ghost box investigation, processing ghost box evidence, analyzing the findings, and presenting the results to clients. Taylor and Morgan also discuss the different spirits an investigation might uncover and future ghost box applications and technologies.
Sharing actual transcripts of investigations, The Double-Blind Ghost Box works toward communicating the existence of the paranormal through objective research.
Shawn Taylor has a technical background in computer hardware, software, programming, digital media, Six Sigma problem solving, statistical analysis, psychology, and counseling.
Daniel Morgan earned degrees in behavioral science and electrical engineering.
About the Author
Shawn Taylor, cofounder of Supernatural Anomaly Investigations
(SAI), was born in Hampton Roads, Virginia, and has a long history with the
supernatural. As a youth he had several run-ins with ghosts, demons, and
angels—not to mention all the many unexplained phenomena that birthed his
interest in the field of paranormal investigations. He began studies across a
wide variety of spiritual belief systems. His pursuit for knowledge stretched
him to examine diverse doctrines as well as those considered commonplace. These
included, but were not limited to, Buddhism, Wicca, Necromancy, the book of
Kabbalah, and the Bible. Finally, in 1992, Shawn had a near-death experience,
which changed his life forever. It opened his eyes to the reality of the
afterlife and the relative nature of time, space, and matter in existence. This
single event sealed the deal on his soul for Christ as his personal savior.
Today he hunts after the supernatural to bring to light the truth that seems to
have eluded science until now. With the SAI team Shawn brings to the table a
firsthand account of the afterlife. However, in this life, he brings a technical
background in computer hardware, software, programming, digital media, Six Sigma
problem solving, statistical analysis, psychology, counseling, and, finally, an
insight for innovation. Don’t be fooled: it takes a lot to spook this guy. He
won’t easily believe something is “paranormal” without first exhausting himself
for a logical explanation. It is this insatiable need for answers that presses
him to continue his explorations to this day.
Dan Morgan, cofounder of SAI, was born in Galax, Virginia, and
began his experiences with the supernatural at an early age. Dan’s interest in
the paranormal stems from those experiences and an intense curiosity as to the
science of all things supernatural. Dan sought for years for an answer to the
origin of the supernatural; in 1992 he accepted Christ and began to focus his
search through his experience as a Christian. For years Dan has studied science,
concentrating his studies on quantum physics. After seeing similarities between
quantum phenomena and the supernatural, he realized that there may be ways to
study one through the other. He wishes not only to better understand the
phenomena, but also to further research the field. Dan has degrees in behavioral
science and electrical engineering, which he hopes to utilize to build better
equipment for detection of the paranormal.
Together, Shawn and Dan, with a team of investigators, strive to uncover the
mysteries of the supernatural using scientific methodology. With training in
process design and electrical engineering, together they developed the Double
and Triple Blind Ghost Box methods fully disclosed in this book
