It's not college you're looking for, it's the Renaissance Festival.

I've heard of (and taken) some pretty bad college courses in my time, but you just aren't going to find a reputable school that will offer these kinds of classes. If that's the case and you have a serious interest in the occult and cryptozoology, then maybe you shouldn't go to college.

You might find the info you are looking for in books but probably not in U.S. colleges.

There might be classes that touch on some of these topics.

There are classes in the paranormal but your topics are more folklore type topics.

Try some of the 3rd World Countries.The more poverty and illiteracy the better.If you want to find out more about the people mired in superstition.Anthropology would be the subject to look into.Plenty of schools in the US,UK and Canada have some great courses.
