Inside The Paranormal - New night, new time on FM radio

WVQC 95.7 FM Cincinnati

Inside The Paranormal started on WVQC 95.7 FM in Cincinnati in August 2010. Our show was live on Monday night from 7-8pm EST. Well things have changed since then. We're now live on the Blogtalkradio platform on Tuesday nights from 9-10pm, offering us greater flexibility. However, staying true to our roots and keeping the FM connection (we're one of a few on true FM radio that doesn't pay a fee like CBSSKY Radio that others have to pay for). So now we're in a prime time slot on WVQC on Friday night from 8-9pm Eastern, which is a pre-recorded episode from the Tuesday prior. 

Ghost Hunting Certification - Who decides what qualifies?

So what exactly is a certified ghost hunter? Who decides what constitutes certified? Hell, I haven't even died yet, and have never seen a ghost directly in the 11 + years I've been involved in the paranormal world. So since I can't talk with factual knowledge (as a ghost myself) or with the direct experience that is incontrovertible, how in the world is someone certifying people to document and validate their experience?

There are several "courses" that you can take to become certified. You have online and home-based CD Rom courses you can use. There are a few courses that you take with a live instructor as a part of a larger class. The International Ghost Hunting Society has their CD Rom based IGHS ghost researcher course. Patti Starr has her Certified Ghost Hunter course (a live, instructor-led class).

So are these classes and courses legitimate, or just another form of paranormal money grabbing? Well, to say something like this is legitimate as a certification is a stretch. If they titled their courses as a ghost hunting investigation training course, I might be able to swallow it a little easier. Of course, these people don't have to prove anything to me, because I'm never going to pay to take the courses anyway. But, they do have to answer to the paranormal society as a whole. They only look to those who are new to the field, and have an interest in the genre from watching TV or in some cases their own personal experiences. But eventually, with time and effort, these people that pay to take these classes are going to learn they never had to pay to take these classes anyway. At that point, how do these "certification bodies" answer to their own clients?

So as you look to become a certified ghost hunter, or certified anything in life, take a look at the "body" that certifies the course and issues your certification. What is their expertise and qualification to state that method is the best and most recognized. If you look at the courses offered by any of these groups or individuals, are you sure the methods they teach are the most commonly used, and widely accepted, as being the best and top method of doing things? If you think so, then you should sign up and take these courses. If you don't think so, you should maybe think twice about spending the money.

How many "certified ghost hunters" have you seen on TV, heard on the radio, or met in person that has a better methodology or better way of doing things than the investigators who don't hold those certifications?

No show on Monday June 20th!!

The radio studio is undergoing a maintenance changeover for equipment move and other facilities improvements. There will be no Inside The Paranormal episode tonight due to this change. We look forward to having you join us next Monday @ 7pm EST on WVQC 95.7 FM!

New name, same great show!

We have changed our show name from Cincy Paranormal Radio to Inside Paranormal. We have taken our show from a local focus, to a more wide focus of the paranormal. We appreciate all the local teams and investigators and practitioners that we've met, and will continue to cast light on their efforts.

Join us on Inside the Paranormal on Monday nights @ 7pm EST on WVQC 95.7 FM and soon on CBS Radio throughout the US on FM and Digital radio, as well as streaming to your smart phones and web!
