You’ve experienced the paranormal. Who do you call? Obviously, this depends on the phenomenon. If the experience involves ghosts, you wouldn’t call a cryptozoologist and vice versa. This is a brief primer about paranormal investigators.

Paranormalists

This is a general term for those who study more than one aspect of paranormal phenomena, which are events, objects or human abilities that defy known scientific laws. “Para” means beyond. Supernatural and occult are older terms for the paranormal. Parapsychological and psychical are frequently and mistakenly used as synonyms for the paranormal. In addition to the phenomena described below, vampires, werewolves and possession are subjects for paranormalists.

Paranormalists usually have more then one area of expertise. A parapsychologist might also have expertise in cryptozoology; an anomalist, in ufology.
