The ‘para-normal’ refers to a world next to ours, or just above, or beyond – a world that cannot be explained and is not subject to the rules of our world. And because it’s hard to explain or understand, there’s a lot of ignorance about it.
Diploma in Advanced Scientific Theory for Paranormal Investigators Includes certificate of achievement. An advanced course which gives paranormal investigators a better understanding of the areas of physics and Earth science which determine the behaviour and perception of hauntings.
Certifications are achieved by being independently verified of a certain level of expertise and demonstrating one is worthy to receive a particular designation (GoCertify 2018). Back in my auto mechanic days, for example, I was an ASE certified technician; meaning that I demonstrated a level of expertise that met the standards of the National Institute for Automotive Excellence, a recognized independent non-profit organization that has been certifying automotive technicians since 1972 (ASE 2018). Certification can come from manufacturers and businesses, as well as institutions of higher learning.
Over the past twenty-plus years, I have been involved in the “paranormal community,” a large group of enthusiasts with varying levels of belief and disbelief, all looking into claims of ghosts, UFOs, monsters, and more. I’ve come across many gimmicks that attempted to place one person (or group) above the rest, singling them out as “experts,” “elite,” or “more serious” (or qualified) than the average paranormal investigator. One such gimmick I often encounter comes in the form of diploma mill “degrees” for various paranormal studies. I’ve been wanting to take a closer look at this topic, and an encounter at a recent paranormal conference kicked this article into gear.
The average tuition (and fees) for the 2018–2019 academic year ranged from $3,660 per year (public, two-year associate’s) to $44 ,020 per year (private, doctoral), according to the Annual Survey of Colleges (College Board 2019). It takes between two and nine years as a full-time student to achieve the desired degree, depending on whether you’re going for an undergraduate (associate’s or bachelor’s) or an advanced degree (master’s or doctoral).
The Higher Education Opportunity Act defines a diploma mill as an entity that “offers, for a fee, degrees, diplomas, or certificates, that may be used to represent to the general public that the individual possessing such a degree, diploma, or certificate has completed a program of postsecondary education or training; and (ii) requires such individual to complete little or no education or coursework to obtain such degree, diploma, or certificate; and (B) lacks accreditation by an accrediting agency or association that is recognized as an accrediting agency or association of institutions of higher education … by the Secretary pursuant to subpart 2 of part H of title IV; or (ii) a Federal agency, State government, or other organization or association that recognizes accrediting agencies or associations” (USDE 2009). Diploma mills are not accredited by any recognized accrediting agencies or state approval agencies, such as the Accrediting Council for Continuing Education and Training (USDE 2019).
This is typically completed over a period of four years (Lee 2014). After high school, academic diplomas and certificate programs taken by themselves are like an associate’s degree program. However, they do not take as long, because general education courses are not required (Study.com 2019).
In the interview mentioned above, Cano claims that his astrology/parapsychology diploma shows he’s serious and is enough to consider himself a parapsychologist. But, is it enough? On his LinkedIn page, he does list Wagner College with English/Psychology 1992–1996, which may indicate an undergraduate degree, though it is not clear whether a degree was ultimately achieved. An advanced degree, such as in psychology, is usually required before continuing completion of a parapsychology degree (Auerbach 2019). This means a full-time student would require five to seven years of accredited education, then find a program that specialized in parapsychology to be awarded the title of “parapsychologist.”

Much of that has been done through the uniquely Catholic concept of purgatory, where Kreeft says many ghosts reside. The church formulated the doctrine of purgatory at the Councils of Florence and Trent in the 15th and 16th centuries. The catechism defines purgatory as a “final purification of the elect, which is entirely different from the punishment of the damned.”
On the day Marla went back into the house for her curling iron, she walked through the door to the master bedroom and saw what she thought was a shadow going into the bathroom.
These ghosts return “for the sake of us the living, to tell us all is well,” according to Kreeft. “Even the bright spirits appear ghostlike to us because a ghost of any type is one whose substance does not belong in or come from this world. In heaven these spirits are not ghosts but real, solid, and substantial because they are at home there: One can’t be a ghost in one’s own country.”
He claims that the idea of ghosts as spirits that cannot pass over into the next life because of unfinished business is an outdated one that has parallels in early medieval Catholic sources. Usually in such sources the ghost has committed some offense that has not been atoned for, or committed some sin that restitution needs to be made for. The ghost is unable to rest until that has been done.
The deacon confides in the bishop that he is there because he continued to support the antipope Laurentius even after the church had healed the schism with Laurentius’ party and universally accepted Symmachus as pope . Paschasius asks the bishop to pray for him, which he does with great fervor. When Germanus next returns to the baths, Paschasius is not there, presumably having entered into heaven.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church teaches that “all forms of divination are to be rejected.”. This includes “recourse to Satan or demons, conjuring up the dead, or other practices falsely supposed to ‘unveil’ the future.”. Messengers of comfort and courage: The truth about angels.
But not far from the Fishers’ house was the San Jacinto battleground where General Sam Houston and the Texian Army killed more than 600 Mexican soldiers in less than 20 minutes in 1836 during the Texan Revolution.
And because it’s hard to explain or understand, there’s a lot of ignorance about it. There are basically three things you need to know about the paranormal. 1. Paranormal Activity IS REAL – People who don’t believe in the paranormal or dismiss it as superstition are usually people who have never experienced it.
First, a definition – what does the word ‘paranormal’ mean? Paranormal is a term used to describe any activity or phenomena that cannot be scientifically explained. The world we know, the physical world can be considered the ‘normal’ – it’s the world we understand, see, feel, and touch, where things happen as expected.
It doesn’t matter if someone says it’s not real – for those to whom it happens, paranormal experiences are VERY REAL. 2. Paranormal Activity IS DEMONIC – In other words, it’s not the spirit of your dead grandmother or some lost soul who’s coming back to haunt you or is trying to communicate with you.
Actually these paranormal activities are done by jinn or shaitans because they made of fire so normal eyes cant see them ....so yes they can harm you if you are coming in between of their way...so beware and stay away of these ...simply call muslim priest they know how to handle it...
The battlefield of Good vs Evil is real.. Satan is real... A loving God will not force his children to be Good... (this is our quest to learn to Love)God will reward his followers... Our Eternal Heavenly Father allows free agency, provides loving support, John 3 :16.....
