Paranormal 101 is a structured introduction to the study of unexplained phenomena, designed for individuals who want more than campfire stories and television dramatics. This course strips away the entertainment layer and returns to what the paranormal truly represents: occurrences, experiences, and documented events that fall outside our current scientific understanding. Students will learn the historical framework that shaped the field, the foundational terminology, and the investigative mindset required to approach the unknown with respect, discipline, and intellectual honesty. Throughout the course, learners will gain the insight needed to think critically, challenge assumptions, and begin forming their own investigative philosophy rooted in integrity rather than imitation.
