An interesting question that we hear a lot ( and have asked ourselves on more than one occasion) is whether or not you can go to school to study the paranormal. Can you get a DEGREE in psychic phenomena, ghost hunting, near death experiences and the like? The answer, is…unfortunately, there are VERY few schools that actually teach this stuff in a standardized way, making careers in the paranormal a bit hard to come by.
But there are a few ( overseas in the U.K – and the Rhine institute to name a few) but Loyd Auerbach’s classes and school affiliation look especially interesting to me. Check out the whole deal at the link below. ( I’m not sure if they are still in “session” either, so you may have to check if you want to apply!)
