Paranormal Investigations in Museums and Historic Sites - Online ClassMay 4, 2015
Three-Week Online Course
$150
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.
In this short course 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. 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.
The course is all done on your own time and
schedule. Each Monday you will receive a link where you can download the
readings for that week. Discussion and questions will all be done via
email. The course is structured so you can fit this into your busy
schedule.
Registration is limited so sign up soon!
