If you’re interested in learning how to ghost-hunt, there are plenty of ways to do it. Several people and organizations have devised courses they can sell you. There are books on the topic too. Or you can join your local ghost hunting or ghost trackers society and learn by doing (usually at no cost).
I cannot endorse any of the following resources, but offer them to present the range of options I found online. If you do a websearch you can find many more of these. How qualified are these folks or institutions? I don’t know. Some may have formally studied parapsychology. Some may have learned from the school of experience. Anyway, here’s a sampling. Enjoy.
First, courses and materials:
Live & in Person Course – an overnight “bootcamp” for students of ghost-finding is being offered on Aug 11 and 12 in Philadelphia. For more info, see post on the Ghostvillage.com website.
Ghost Chasers International (Patti Starr) offers a $150 home-study course with lots of material you can order online.
The International Ghost Hunters Society has been around over a decade and they have a big online presence with two types of membership: free (limited) and paid (to see more ghost pics, for instance). This couple offers not just one course, but several from which to choose. They have also written a lot of books (and even more articles) on various aspects of ghost hunting. They are perhaps the most prolific “how to ghost hunt” folks on the web. The first course offered is the IGHS Certified Ghost Researcher Home Study Course, which is on CD and for which the cost is $99.
If you’re looking to spend a little less, a book or an ebook might be a good way to get your toes wet with this stuff.
The Ghost Hunter’s Bible by Trent Brandon can be bought online at Amazon and many other venues.
Just to confuse things, there is also an ebook with the same title, but is a totally different book, that also looks promising:
The Ghost Hunter’s Bible by J. Michael Atencio. This one is $6.99 and you download it to your computer when you pay.
Another ebook, affordably priced but apparently pretty comprehensive, is available fro Ghost-Hunting.org for $17.97 (and the author promises a guarantee of satisfaction or your money back). The title is A Ghost in Every House – A Guide to Ghost Hunting, Hauntings, and the Paranormal.
Does free appeal to you? I stumbled upon a free ebook, in pdf form, and will be reading it shortly myself. The ebook has the humble title of Ghosthunting Course (by Thomas Cooney) and is located on the Ghosthound.com website.
