wow, many disappointing answers.

First, Paranormal Psycology is a science. and is taught in Universities within a more general psycholgy class, and has been studied.

One example, is a study on exorcism where psychologists studied if the exorcism actually helped the mentaly ill patient. For whatever reason it did. It may all be a placebo effect, but never the less it happens and does recieve study.

Additionaly cryptozoology is also a study. There may not be a big foot but there are Giant squid that 20 years ago were even less likely myth than nessy, prehistroic fish once thought extinct, and undocumented species yet to be discovered by modern science.

Joining a Paranormal society like TAPS from the Sci-fi channel show is likely the most direct route to you goals.
They may never provide the evidence needed to convince science that ghosts or other entities exists, but maybe someday you will find explanations that have been missed due to lack of study.

One example is that there seem to be many reports of ball lightning, a known phenomenon, that report unusual behavior that can explain other sightings. Wouldn't be fun if somebody actualy studied that...well people due.

Additionaly, if you wanted to benefit your investigations maybe take classes in more tradional sciences or forensic studies so you can debunk some of the likely hoax's or mundane causes.

I dont personaly believe in ghosts, but neither so I think we know everything.

Well, yes; you however have to minor in unicorn detection and alchemy (converting a minimum of two pounds of lead into gold) before being admitted to the Miskatonic University, which is the only academia still offering courses in ghost busting (Duke and Edinburg withdrew their programs after a devastating attack of sanity struck the faculty members).

There is no accredited parapsychology program in any university out there. You would be doing yourself a service if you seriously considered why this may be.
