*Paranormal Investigations in Museums and Historic Sites - Online Class*
*August 12* *- 26, 2013  *


Do you want to know more about paranormal investigations in museums and
historic sites?

Have you been approached by a paranormal group to investigate your museum
or historic site? Have you thought about developing your own ghost tour or
program? Have you ever wondered what this is all about?

Increasingly museums and historic sites are approached by paranormal teams
or investigators – and many have started to allow access on a fee basis and
some have partnered with local paranormal teams or have developed their own
special ghost programs and tours to bring visitors in who have curiosity
about this. If done right, it is a great way to increase revenue and to
teach history and folklore in an exciting new way for your visitors.

This two week course will bridge both sides to create awareness in both
groups. You will learn about the paranormal and how teams and investigators
conduct their investigations – both the theories and methods will be
detailed with real life examples. Those in the paranormal will learn about
the mission of museums and historic sites and why there are policies in
place to protect and preserve the sites and their collections. We will
review museum policies for outside groups and why museums have these
policies and how they should be applied to paranormal investigations. The
pro's and con's of allowing this sort of access will be reviewed. At the
end we will ask each participant to formulate their own draft policy /
program / research plan for a museum or historic site.
