  You start calling yourself one. There’s no school (not accredited ones, anyway – that means ‘real’), there’s no licensing, since no one has ever found anything they can’t make you prove you can find anything, and you don’t have to be psychic because, frankly, no one is. That’s another thing you can just claim you are with nothing to back it up.

  Calling yourself one is easy. Getting a job doing it is harder. The only person who’s getting paid to do it and isn’t starring in a tv show is Joe Nickel, who works for CSICOP. It’s something people do for free in their spare time.

  Of course, you could go get a science degree and get a job as a scientist trying to research this stuff – but those jobs aren’t too common either, since they’ve never found anything either.

  The best thing to do is join a reputable ghost and haunting society. Most major cities, and province/state have them. Most are free to join although they may have a minimum age restriction for insurance purposes.

  They will train you about how to use the different pieces of equipment, how to conduct investigations, the different duties of the team members, and the importance of professionalism and ethics. Some societies require you to pass an exam before you can participate in an actual investigation. But most have lots of interesting articles on their websites that you can read and have meetings you can attend without writing any exam.

  It is not necessary at all to be psychic or a medium or anything like that at all to investigate. Most societies rely on more traditional methods to gather their data. So no worries there.

  There isn’t a lot of paying work to be had as an investigator. Most people do it as a hobby out of a love to learn and an interest in the paranormal. Some people once they have established a good reputation, and have many quality references to their name can charge for visits, but even then its usually minimal.

  I hope that helps.

  It’s relatively easy. There really is no school for being an investigator. You learn as you go. Of course, you can read up on it and learn techniques and about the equipment. You wont find a paying job as one, most groups do their investigations free of charge. I belong to a local group, and poses no psychic or other special abilities. If you do join up with a local group, careful. Make sure they aren’t a bunch of wannabes running around trespassing on others property. A good group will have regular meetings to discuss investigations, future investigations and about investigating in general. They will also do investigations at locations other than cemeteries. My group will rarely investigate a cemetery. We do historic sites and private homes. Check out the link I am posting, it is for our forum. Feel free to post any questions you may have.
