Course Description


A Practical Guide to Psychics & Mediums (and how to assess a reading)

This four-week course is designed for investigators and seekers who are interested in finding a legitimate psychic or medium to work with or get a reading.  The course will give you the basic tools to:

  • Properly understand what a practitioner means when using the term psychic, medium, channeler, or other similar labels.
  • How to find psychic practitioners -- including spirit mediums -- for personal readings or to work with during paranormal investigations.
  • How to understand the role of "window-dressing" that many practitioners (even genuine ones) might use, and how to get the practitioner past that.
  • How to act/react in a reading so you get the most out of the session, and some good questions to ask.
  • How to assess the psychic/medium practitioners' claims -- as well as individual readings -- to determine if they're real, fraudulent, or just fooling themselves
  • How to get the most out of any reading.

When: Live broadcasts once a week or watch the class recordings at your convenience.

Where: This is an ONLINE COURSE, so you can participate anywhere you have an internet connection.

Tuition: $115 (Rhine Members - $100)

Course Description


LoydLogoThis course is a deeper exploration of the topics covered in the Field Investigations course. Students who are taking this course for a grade are required to have taken the Field Investigations course from the Rhine, or taken the Ghost Hunting course from HCH, or established yourself as a knowledgeable student of parapsychology with the instructor, or passed a quiz on field investigations (provided by Loyd Auerbach : profparanormal@gmail.com

See note below for those wanting to take the course without a grade.

In this course, students will explore the topics of field investigations more deeply, including methods related to specific models of paranormal phenomena from a scientific perspective of a parapsychologist. In addition, this course will discuss the history of paranormal field research, provide details on dealing with clients and finding resolutions during investigations, discuss issues related to “public haunts” vs. private home cases, and provide more complex methods for exploring the evidence and analyzing data to reach a conclusion. Technology used in investigations* will be reviewed along with EVPs, and psychic, mediums, and other sensitives. The technology will be evaluated at a basic level for best use in both private homes and public site investigations.

Finally, this course will examine the psychology of perception and interpretation of activity and how non-paranormal explanations can apply in investigative circumstances. Parapsychology laboratory findings will be integrated into the course materials to explore how the laboratory studies apply to field investigations.

To satisfy pre-requisites, email Loyd Auerbach at profparanormal@gmail.com  If you’re not taking the course for a grade, there are no prerequisites, though the Introduction to Parapsychology course and the Field Investigations course are both recommended.

*For an in-depth assessment of technology and field investigations, the Rhine Education Center offers a 4-week course called Paranormal Phenomena: EVP, ITC, and Other Technologies Used to Investigate the Paranormal.



Dates:   varies each quarter;  One class per week.
Time:    Watch the live broadcasts or watch the recorded classes anytime
Where:  Online Course available from your PC
Prerequisites: 
Field Investigations, or other options. See descriptive text above.
