Title: Online Paranormal Course
Post by: PPI Brian on January 05, 2009, 08:45:56 PM
I stumbled across this link and thought it was worth sharing with our PPI Forum Family members. I'm not inclined to spend $20.00 for this class, but thought it was interesting. Thoughts anyone?

Very interesting.

It actually seems to be pretty legitimate. The outline seems reasonable and is well organized. The topics also seems pretinent to the basics that paranormal investigators should know.

But I would also be unwilling to spend money for this. For one, it would be interesting to know who is teaching the class, what experience they have, and what education they received in the field before signing up.

But I think the class does bring up an important point. There is a right way and a wrong way to conduct an investigation. This really isn't a self-evident process and not as easy as many would think. There are valuable lessons to be learned from people who have been doing this for a while. I think it's nice to see someone taking a more serious and scholarly approach to paranormal investigation. I'm definitely not a big fan of the old, "Hey guys, let's meet in the cemetery after dark, I'll bring the Ouija board and you bring the beer." That might have been fun in college, but when it's time to grow up there is some seriously cool investigating to be done  :) This class seems to approach paranormal investigation with that more mature approach in mind.

Snazzy Intro!
But paying $20.00 to take a course online about the paranormal? Nah.
I'll pass
I would to meet the people who are teaching the class.
They may even be in this country. Could be a flashy scam.
