DOVER — “If there’s somethin’ strange in your neighborhood, Who you gonna call…” ghost hunters?

They may not be able to bust any spirits, but the Delaware Ghost Hunters say they can tell if a cold spot is a spook or just a draft from an open window.

Started three years ago by Dover twin brothers Jason and Justin Sipple, both 26, the paranormal investigation team has completed dozens of investigations in homes and businesses believed to be inhabited by spirits.

Armed with nothing more than flashlights, cameras, recorders and other simple equipment ,the team members brave the bewitching hours to catch one photo or one recording of a spirit.

“The investigation part of it is pretty boring actually,” said Jason, who works at the Camden Wal-Mart by day.

Analyzing the photos and recordings is the exciting part, he said, especially when they discover they captured what could be a ghost.

The two brothers started their company out of a general interest in the paranormal and because there wasn’t any other investigation group in Delaware at the time, Jason said.

After they had the idea, all they needed was knowledge of protocols and to learn about the equipment, he said, including the infrared thermometers and electromagnetic field detectors.

“You can easily destroy your reputation if you don’t know what you’re doing,” Jason said.

Justin, who works at Bayhealth-Kent General Hospital as a surgical technician, hasn’t been on as many investigations as his brother, but has had some close encounters.

“I haven’t seen an apparition,” he said. “They say that’s the Holy Grail.”

However when Justin was on a mini-investigation of Fort Delaware he had just put fresh batteries in his camera when it went completely dead.

This is common, the brothers explained, because spirits need an electromagnetic source to manifest themselves.

Jason, on the other hand, said he saw an apparition during their last investigation at the Paper Mill House Museum in Pennsylvania at the end of June.

While taking photographs in the attic, Jason said he looked up to see a figure of a woman mocking the stance of one of the museum workers.

“It was too quick for me to take a picture,” he said. “She was there and then gone in the blink of an eye.”

But he was able to snap a photo of what is believed to be an apparition appearing over one of the Fort Delaware cannons, which will be published in a book sometime this year, Jason said.

Four or five of the eight active members are present for each investigation, the brothers said, with some participation from their sister group, Unseen Forces, in New Jersey.

“We stay as long as we can,” Jason said. “And we always encourage client participation.”

The team arrives at their destination between 7 and 9 p.m. to set up and do a preliminary walkthrough, he said, which is when they set up their base rating on their electromagnetic field detector and infrared thermometer.

“The base ratings are used as the standards,” he said. “Any deviation from that is used to see paranormal activity.”

Investigations are done for free and the team is willing to go anywhere in the mid-Atlantic area. More information and records of past investigations can be found on their Web site www.delawareghosthunters.com.

Lou Lorenzo, 29, has preformed four investigations in the six months he has been with the company.

The history involved with investigations of older places piqued his interest, Mr. Lorenzo said, with the chance to be somewhere no one has been for centuries.

“My mom is a little leery about (the work),” he said. “They say if a spirit likes you they can come home with you.”

Although it’s only based on theory, Jason explained that a spirit will attach itself to a person if it believes it can find resolution through that person.

“A lot of times if it has unfinished business or died a tragic death then a spirit will stick around,” he said. “Or even just to say goodbye.”
