Is it some kind of April Fools analog holiday in the UK?

Ghost Hunting 101?

This seems rather silly to me. I have watched many episodes of the Ghost Hunters on the Sci Fi channel, and every episode ends the same.

"So, what did you find?"
"Well, we didn't get anything on video, but we found a cold spot in the house, and Mikey over there got hit in the face by what we think was a spirit,"

It seems like every time anyone has tried to use scientific method on the paranormal it doesn't work. Does anyone think the course will be usefull for anything?

My old alma mater has a whole department devoted to matters parapsychological, largely funded by the bequest of the late Arthur Koestler.

Shame it wasn't there when I was there or I could have done Ghosthunting 101 as a breadth subject instead of History. Actually, strike that, I'm on Houdini's and Derren Brown's side when it comes to the paranormal.

Reckon there could be some interesting stuff on this course. They could rename it the Invisible Academy and have it become a training school for occult terr...sorry.

I'm sorry.

I said I'm sorry.

Arthur Koestler of 'Roots of Coincidence' fame? Cool.
