"Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!" I'm going to be completely honest: as a child, this cartoon is pretty close to what I imagined that line, 'making spirits bright' actually meant! I know better now, but I still like the visual of ghosts going to school. I plan on keeping MY spirits 'bright' this winter by going back to school myself and taking a few paranormal courses.
Once again, the Parapsychology Foundation will be offering their completely FREE online parapsychology MOOC. Registration begins January 13th, with the first two lectures going live January 18th and 19th. You can sign up and learn more about the course and scheduled speakers HERE. I've taken this course for the past few years and its always really interesting. There are some wonderful speakers lined up, covering some fascinating topics pertaining to the field of parapsychology.
I'm also hoping to take the new paranormal investigation course offered by WVGhosts. This course is open to Patreon subscribers, so make sure you check out the link for more information on how you can sign up! Additional courses will be offered in the future. And as always, I'll be reading anything and everything I can get my hands on pertaining to the paranormal, watching documentaries and lectures online, listening to podcasts, and attending as many conferences, conventions, expos, and other events as time and budget allows! I'm a huge supporter of lifelong learning, and with a field as dynamic and as diverse as the paranormal field, there is always something new to learn or something to delve into a little deeper.
In addition to doing a lil' learning myself, I'm hoping to share the paranormal knowledge with all of you! There will be some more educational-type articles and information posted on this blog and I plan on having a few days a month on social media dedicated to scientific-based articles, lectures, and other more academic based content. If that's not necessarily your thing....don't worry. There will still be PLENTY of haunted places, folklore, ghost stories, weird history, and all sorts of fun stuff posted on the blog, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.
So, are you planning on taking any courses this year to enhance your knowledge of the paranormal field? Are you attending (or speaking at) any awesome events? Got any cool paranormal non-fiction books you'll be reading or shows you'll be watching? Is there a special ghost, cryptid, or UFO related topic that you're hoping to learn more about in 2020?
