Early science and early religion (belief in ghosts is part of religion) are both prehistoric (before people invented writing) - so we shall never have a definitive answer to this question.
One of the most interesting theories I have seen is argued by Robert Graves in his book The White Goddess. Graves suggests that early science (mainly basic Biology and astronomy - the two cornerstones of the earliest civilisations) were not distinct from early religion: the religious stories gave a theoretical framework which allowed the observational discoveries of primitive science to be tied together into easily memorised and predictive theories.
Graves even suggests that the sequence of the letters of the alphabet contains important knowledge about tree biology. I'm not sure I could go that far with him.
In truth there currently are no real requirements for paranormal investigation. Paranormal investigation is the casual practice of examining claims of apparitional and poltergeist activity in field settings. Paranormal investigators use various techniques to try to determine the reality of the claims. Many desire to document their findings using various technologies including photography, video and audio recording, and various environmental monitoring tools. Some paranormal investigators seek to debunk paranormal claims while others with a typically more metaphysical focus seek to help others understand their experiences. As such these two groups represent the ends of a rather broad belief system in paranormal matters. There is no middle-ground and few paranormal investigators are truly without some beliefs on the subject. In order to perform paranormal investigations, one should have some knowledge of science and psychology. Unfortunately most paranormal investigation teams lack this knowledge. A good first step would be an undergraduate degree in an established science. An alternative would be an undergraduate degree in philosophy. Paranormal investigators must appreciate the limits of their techologies and have an understanding of the nature of the people who they wish to serve. Only degrees of this sort can bring this sort of orderly understanding that is required. Online courses that purport to train people to become 'paranormal investigators' or something similar should be avoided. None to date appears to be credible. You can test this by simply asking about the credentials of the training entity. If they are not university trained, it is likely they will not be able to provide the education required. It is also wise to avoid courses focused solely on metaphysical topics, including things like 'demonlogy'. Serious investigators should be remain abreast of current thinking in research Parapsychology, and so should read journals such as the Journal of Parapscyhology and the Journal of the Society for Scientific Exploration as a basis.
When it is rational and therefore based on current understanding. Doesn't mean it is always correct, so belief can change with changing scientific knowledge.
The Power of Belief was created in 1998.

AnswerTheology is like knowing you should drive 55 because the speed limit sign says 55 but you don't do it, belief is actually driving 55.Theology is knowing facts. Belief is living them.Theology is knowing many facts about God.Belief in God means to have a relationship with Him.A person may know many things about a favorite celebrity, but they are not actually known by the celebrity themselves. This is theology.Belief is when the celebrity knows you and acknowledges you as friends, you have a relationship.We can think of belief as something you do and theology being that in which you believe.Theology can not be "Knowing Facts" because there is no "knowing" there is only believing. Even the history of science and the subject Philosophy of Science" will demonstrate that they only believe in the scientific notions because they will change them just as theologies do.The conclusions of logic does not prove something about the universe, only that you have followed the rules of logic. Language is a major problem in theologies. You can not say "God is Prefect and then say "God wants some thing". The translations from Aramaic to Greek and then to Latin and then to the languages of the world of the Bible can leave you only with belief not knowledge.

Belief in the paranormal has existed for centuries, with stories of ghosts, mediums, and supernatural phenomena dating back to ancient civilizations. However, the modern concept of paranormal activity and scientific investigation into it began to gain popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Notable events, such as the rise of spiritualism and the founding of organizations like the Society for Psychical Research, helped to shape how we perceive the paranormal today.

No. No evidence in the scientific area. Many paranormal occurrences but no scientific evidence.
Someone who is a philosophical naturalist would say that nature is all there is.... because there is no sound evidence to support a belief in the supernatural or the paranormal. Epistemology leads one to that conclusion.
Science and technology have affected religious beliefs and practices. Currently science and technology challenge the belief in the concept of God.
