Exam Prerequisites

There are no required prerequisites for taking our exams. However, we do recommend that you have a very good grasp and understanding of the Paranormal before taking the exam. Below is a list of a few things that we recommend for you to study.

	The Ghost Hunter's Guidebook by Troy Taylor The Ghost Hunter's Guidebook by author and paranormal investigator Troy Taylor not only solves the mystery of how to find ghosts, but dozens of others as well! This manual is the essential guide to conducting paranormal research, written by a real ghost hunter with years of experience in the field.
	How To Be A Ghost Hunter by Richard Southall So you want to investigate a haunting? This book is full of practical advice used in the author's own ghost hunting practice. Find out whether you're dealing with a ghost, spirit, or an entity ... and discover the one time when you should stop what you're doing and call in an exorcist.
	The Ghost Hunter's Bible by Trent Brandon The Ghost Hunter's Bible was written to help people understand and deal with the phenomenon of ghosts, poltergeists and other paranormal entities. It presents facts and methods, covering in detail, what a ghost hunter should have and exactly what they must do on every investigation.
	The Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits by Rosemary Guiley Featuring more than 500 A-to-Z entries, The Encyclopedia of Ghosts and Spirits, 2nd Edition is a mesmerizing compendium of worldwide paranormal activity. With explanations of strange phenomena from both folklore and modern scientific research, it examines famous hauntings, historical figures and events, and the myths and legends surrounding ghosts and spirits in different cultures.

We also recommend that you have at least two years of experience with ghost hunting and investigations. You should already know how to properly investigate a haunted location, how to follow protocols, use equipment, interview witnesses, detect Paranormal activity, and scientifically evaluate evidence.

The more knowledge and understanding you have on the Paranormal and investigations, the easier the exam will be for you. The exam will be very difficult to pass if you have no previous knowledge. We don't even recommend attempting the exam without having an understanding of the Paranormal.
