Question

Where can i find a school that offers paranormal investigating?

Answer 1

Why do you want to go to school for a degree that will do you no good?  Study any physical science and you will get all the education on the paranormal you can handle.

Answer 2

haha thats funny. The closest you can get is parapsycology. I don't even know if i spelt that one right. And that subject is more on the skeptic side. I run a Paranormal investigation group in canada. I can give you a few pointers, but you should search the web for a group in your area....

Answer 4

Sorry, that's not considered a real job.  No acreditted university in the US offers that degree or parapsychology - they finally realized there was nothing to it.  Nothing to investigate.

Answer 5

You can't.

Answer 6

Not going to happen.

Answer 7

No University will have courses in paranormal investigating. There is a legitimate science of parapsychology but even that is few and far between. Mostly they study psychic ability and do not investigate ghosts or haunting.

the average paranormal investigator/ghost hunter is just an average person who has an interest in the paranormal and just starts going out and investigating sites.

You can get certified by different ghost organizations, but that is not an accredited course and these are ordinary people who have  gone to haunted places and investigated them and have there own beliefs and theories.

There are many places on line that offer home study courses, but you can do just as well by taking a camera, tape recorder, and if you want to invest in EMF meters and such and go out to haunted places and grave yards and come up with your own theories, as you will eventually anyway.

However the only website I can recommend is http://www.ghostweb.com/. Read their free articles on  ghosts and paranormal and you can know what the average person pays  to learn.

Answer 8

I could tell you but it's really weird...

Answer 9

Franklin Pierce College in New Hampshire offers a specialization in parapsychology with a psychology degree at the bachelors level. It is a fully accredited college.

Many other universities as another person already said allow thesis (at the masters level) and dissertations (at the PhD level) on parapsychology topics.

While they are not accredited Rhine Research Center

http://www.rhine.org

offers a six week summer seminar on parapsychology.

You might wish to look at the web site for the

Parapsychological Association http://www.parapsych.org it list the educational backgrounds of many of it's members.

Most people working in the parapsychology field have and suggest an education in a traditional science (biology. physics, chemistry,etc.) or a social science (psychology, sociology, anthropology, etc.) it depends on the approach you wish to take in studying phenomena.

Answer 10

There was a time when several colleges investigated this (there were government contracts) but i don't think there are classes in it at many places anymore. possible none.

HOWEVER, it used to be possible in California to get a degree in the area you chose, whether they had a school for it or not. Doug Henning got the first degree in magic in the US.

Additionally, in most schools , you have to do different research papers as an undergraduate, then a thesis or dissertation.   You could conduct your own research.

Because of Duke University's history, you might find more history on what has been researched in this area at their library than at other places.

===========

i have found colleges on line who purport to teach this. Please be sure that they are accredited before you sign up.

Answer 11

Flamel College (http://www.flamelcollege.org/) offers courses for the coming year which include Advanced Paranormal Investigator Certification, Crytozoologist Certification, Tarot Consultant Certification, Transpersonal Psychology, Introduction to Alchemy, Complete Alchemy Laboratory with Experiments, and Certification in Herbal Medicine.

I can offer far better than this.

My own courses include How to Leap Off Tall Buildings, Naming all the Cards in a Normal Pack of Cards, Predicting that It Might Rain Soon, and Moving Distant Objects with Your Mind and a Big Stick. My graduate courses include Why Clairvoyance Doesn't Work in a Casino, and You Can Fool Some of the People All of the Time.

Email me for prices etc. Enrolments can be taken any time.
