The college course Paranormal 101
The paranormal idealy should be studied at all universities as a required course. Much more logical than algebra. You will never use algebra every day.
Post your input in an area that will never fail to amaze us all 24/7. Your average college course will always lack that ability.
Does this college course exist in a school of higher learning near you?

University Of Maryland
I took such a class. It is called "ParaPsychology." It was taught by a doctor in ParaPsychology whom also had a Ph D in Psychology. This was at the school "University Of Maryland."
There were some books written about teams in ParaPsychology running around New England in the 1930's.
I think the author's name was "H.P. Lovecraft."
There are T.V. Shows about these teams of ParaPsychologists running around with Ghost Detectors, filming themselves and recording the shadows. These T.V. Shows are based upon people with degrees in Marketing. Never-The-Less, they are practicing the science, in whatever amateur status that they may posses, of ParaPsychology. They are the poseurs if you will of ParaPsychology.
It may be that today's Scientist is in fact - the Webmaster, the Blogger, the Programmer of the 12st century.

Don't believe in this at all....
My own experience is either you have the gift or you don't and theres no way to get it if you don't...
So theres no point in trying to fake it....

In many cases, college courses that teach about paranormal topics are not described as such in order to slide by the academic ivory tower red pens and thereby succeed in existing in the first place. So, they can be difficult to find by searching for them. Word of mouth among the student population and the popularity of the class often tells the true tale, tho.
I took one such class: The Psychology of Death and Dying. It DOES address it's stated subject, and does so VERY well indeed, but it also spends a good deal of time on things like NDEs and OBEs, ghosts, past-life memories, and even the human aura. One whole class period was devoted to learning to see the aura--very interesting, and was successful in over 80% of the class. This is, without a doubt, the most popular class on that campus, and the professor is well-loved by the students, too.
I guess my point is just that these classes are out there in our colleges and universities, but are often disguised.
I know there are quite a few accredited colleges in the Bay Area (in and around San Francisco--like the one Shirley posted a link to) that offer such courses openly, though. If I get time, I'll look some of those up and post links for anyone interested in checking them out.

Listening to Art now! Twilight Zone playing as bumper music!
Thanks all for the quick replies on the history of the paranormal 101. I will re-read these gifts to my thread.
Keep additional informative posts and links zipping on in!
The paranormal is part of all lives 24/7. All lives ever lived on Earth.

Not Gifted
The coursework is based on the study of ParaPsychology, not the performance of bendinga spoons, or the military applications of remote viewing demons to the point of hearing the 24 unearthly tones of the neverworld. One remote viewer on Art Bell reported remote viewing a demon while using chanting and rituals. The classes are an introduction to the litature and high points of the field. Most are not gifted, nor is it required. It is not "Hogwarts."

Gifts as in..........replies
Now you know the rest of the story as Paul Harvey says twice or more a day.
Got to run now,......off to the lakes area of Horseheads and Elmira, New York.

I've got my copy of 'Take A Walk On The Darkside' by R. Gary Patterson for readin' material. The folks we're traveling with won't be tuned in to Classic Rock.
