In the spring of 2006, Jackie Meador, CCPI founder and director, developed a PS 101 & PS 102 program available to Central CA residents and offered through the Cesar Chavez Community/Adult Education Center in Fresno, CA. It was a basic hands-on approach to those who are interested in learning the fundamentals of ghost hunting and paranormal research or those who are interested in paranormal phenomena in general. After nine (9) successful years teaching classes and educating over 500 students about paranormal research & investigation, the five (5) week courses came to a close.
With over 15 years of experience, certified ghost hunter Jackie Meador is now concentrating on offering one (1) day workshops and weekend seminars throughout the year. Notification of these and other events will be posted on our website, www.ccpifresno.org. and facebook page, www.facebook.com/ccpifresno/
Below is sample of what you might expect at one of her workshops.
