There is not a profession to study ghosts or the paranormal; however, if you really want to get involved there are many reputable paranormal groups out there that might allow you to join their group. The best way to find a reputable group is to go to this website www.the-atlantic-paranormal-society.com. This is the TAPS website from the TV show Ghost Hunters. There is a link on the home page that says TAPS Family. Click on it and look for your state or area that you are in. These are the groups that TAPS recommends to people who need help. I belong to a group called SPARS--Southern Paranormal & Anomaly Research Society. We are part of the TAPS Family. We currently have groups in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Mississippi, New England, and the Mid Atlantic region. Our website is www.spars-paranormal.com

As long as you don't get your heart set on finding paranormal activities.There are quite a few.Psychology is one you can study why people believe in such things.Archeology is another,study how people thought of these things in the past.Anthropology,there you can study the social implications of these things on different societies.

Any of these and many more would involve studying ghosts and all paranormal activities.

More importantly you can investigate the paranormal and make a living at it.

There are three professions that allow you to study paranormal activity to some extent. They are:

Author - writing books about paranormal phenomenon

Media Celebrity - Become a plumber and take a few acting classes, then feel free to share your expert opinion with the world

Tour Guide - Step right this way folks, be careful of the phantom on your left

The truth is, no one really earns an income studying the paranormal for the sake of studying the paranormal. They all have other careers or related jobs to support their ambitions. There are no longer any accredited colleges in the U.S. that offer parapsychology degrees. Government grants are extremely hard to find for this pursuit.

Look into a study of philosophy, religion, culture, and history. You won't find a proffession on the paranormal, but you can learn about how to think on it and possibly find something on the way. there are paranormal psychologists..

Despite millions of experiments there is no repeatable scientific proof of ghosts or any paranormal activity.

Therefore you won't find a highly respected university that will study this any more. For a similar reason the career prospects are not good. So you'll probably need to be very rich to pursue this hobby at a high level.

However there are related courses. For example studies in why people believe in ghosts, why places induce weird effects in people or the origins of old scary stories.

Incidentally I found this page:

http://www.hollowhill.com/ghost-hunting/...

which is probably what you want. Thou I don't believe alot of it (For example I would like any evidence Harvard funds secret paranormal studies in recent years).

putting in "no mean answers" is like candy

If you want to know what happens after you die, become a mortician. As for ghosts and such, try applying at Hogwarts.
