Psychic Detective 101

by

Karl Petry

It's one thing to be intuitive and another to be a sleuth. When one combines these two talents, the results are extremely helpful in solving cases from murder to missing people. Karl Petry is the best example of this combination. In this workshop, Karl will instruct on the best ways to practice Discernment and how your individual "psychic meter" works. Everyone has the "6th Sense", but most people aren't adept at using it. In  this workshop, no matter what your psychic ability, you'll learn to tap into that information and incorporate it practically.

Key Take Aways:

  • Practical Detective - learn best sources for background & historical data research
  • Networking - develop your contact list of police, forensic specialists and research librarians
  • Discernment – knowing what’s an energy or spirit coming through and what’s your own thought process or feeling
  • The five senses and how they contribute to the “6th Sense” while on an investigation
 
Legend Tripping - On the Trail of Haunted History

by

Every year reputedly haunted sites are sought out by legions of thrill-seekers. Some come in hopes of recording paranormal phenomena, while others just enjoy the thrill of a good scare. These "legend trippers" can have either a positive or negeative impact on the site, the community, and the reputation of Paranormal Investigation. As responsible "ghost-hunters", how do we educate, promote and conduct healthy investigation of legendary haunted sites?

 Key Take Aways:
- The Draw of Paranormal Hot-spots and Historic Sites.
- Supernatural or Superstition? Sniffing out Urban Myth Hauntings.
- Ghost Hunter or Legend Tripper? Exploring the 'Investigation' Boom.
