Course Description

This course is designed to give you a deeper insight into the world of paranormal investigation. If you are a skeptic, but possess an open mind, you will discover that paranormal investigation is similar to the process of forensic investigation.  Essential characteristics of a paranormal investigation require a cautious approach backed up with scientific methodology.

Course Motivation

Have you ever experienced paranormal activity firsthand?

Has the notion that a ghost, poltergeist or other entity inhabits your home crossed your mind more than once?

Maybe one of your friends or relatives has fallen prey to a series of unexplained events and came to you for help 

Or, perhaps you're just passionate about the paranormal and still look forward to your own first close encounter?

Whatever circumstances have prompted your own investigation into the world of paranormal investigators, this comprehensive online course will initiate you into an exciting, relatively unexplored area of scientific study that will change the way you look at the world around you forever.
If you're somewhat of a skeptic, then you'll find this class refreshingly based on facts and measurable data. While some investigators opt to rely on psychic and occult powers for their research, individuals that complete this course will have the latest scientific technology at their disposal to enjoy greater success and heightened credibility.
All in all, you'll find that the procedures and protocols of paranormal investigation are much more like forensic investigations than you've ever have thought possible.
Self-paced and all-inclusive, this class is constructed around convenience. You'll never have to shuffle your schedule around to participate, or race out and load up on expensive textbooks or other materials.
Enrollment is open all day, every day, so you can get your hands on the information you've been seeking even right now!
Get ready to learn the essentials of paranormal investigation! You'll need a careful approach that you can back up with scientific methodology!
Do you know the difference between EMP and EVP? Were you aware that there are actually different kinds of hauntings that can really impact how you'll carry out and follow-through on your investigations?
Are you worried that by becoming a paranormal investigator, you may actually become the center of attention for entities all across your regional area?
All three of these questions are legitimate concerns, and all three of them will be covered for you over the course of the class' six, in-depth lessons:

Lesson 1: Introduction to the Study of Paranormal Activities

Lesson 2: A Haunting A Typical Scenario

Lesson 3: Investigating Essentials

Lesson 4: The Finer Art of Ghost Busting

Lesson 5: What to Do if You Find Evidence of Paranormal Activities

Lesson 6: Knowing When the Job is Done
When all is said and done, successful completion of the class will prepare you to meet six foundational objectives: 
An improved scope of paranormal studies especially the jargon and terminology prevalent in the field

A better understanding of the various types (not to mention the various degrees) of a haunting

A checklist of essential investigative equipment and tools that should be in every seasoned paranormal investigators toolbox

A familiarity with the procedures and policies to follow in order to give your investigations scientific value and credibility

Plus, keen insight on how to handle the needs of the clients you'll be investigating for, as well as how to successfully wrap up your investigations

Although this class has been developed for the convenience of self-paced learning, all lessons must be completed in order. Before you can access the reading materials, assignments and tests for Lesson 2, you'll first need to complete all objectives and assignments for Lesson 1, and so on.
Fortunately though, you'll find that everything you'll need in order to successfully pass has already been provided for you from the minute you enroll. All class links, resources and other supplemental materials are provided at the end of each lesson. While there are a few books that the Instructor recommends reading, none of the suggested titles are mandatory. Nor will you need to invest in other software programs or other applications. So, not only is this course self-paced and self-contained, its also affordable and convenient to enroll and attend!
You'll never have to totally rearrange your personal or professional schedule in order to show up for class on specific dates or times. Simply attend when (and only when) you can work around the demands on your everyday life.
However, by the time you've completed your final exam, you'll have gained a multitude of tips, tricks and techniques that you can use to turn your passion for the paranormal into professional success.
