How Do I Become A Professional Paranormalist or Ghost Hunter?

This is a question we get often, and even more so at this time of year (the spooky season). I thought I'd repeat our standard answer here for handy reference.

We are non-profit and made up of volunteers so perhaps we are the wrong source to ask about becoming a "professional" paranormal investigator. To date we know of no accredited university or non-profit educational institute within the province of Ontario that offers parapsychology or pseudo-science as a major or full-time course. No LSAT prep required to be a ghost hunter. We consider ourselves to be amateurs who are pursuing an enjoyable hobby.

The majority of paranormal investigators fund their own research interests independently and maintain employment within other fields.

The best advice we can offer is to READ as much material as you can on your topic/s of interest especially those of varying viewpoints. A good investigator in our opinion will consider ALL possibilities while continually questioning those possibilities reasonably and objectively at the same time. An education in science, history and courses on folklore will also be extremely helpful to you as will networking with others whom share your interests.
