DAPI’s first class comes to an end.

DAPI’s last class of The Ghost Hunting Experience ended on Sunday night. I think everybody came away with a better understanding of ghost hunting and the tools used to capture and record the evidence. We even had a reporter from the Downingtown Dish come for the investigation. She wrote a very informative article on the class. Click here to read the article.

In the next couple of weeks we will be posting the evidence that the class captured during their investigation.

DAPI will be holding other future classes and events. Please check out the web site www.downingtownparanormal.com for updated investigation evidence and future events. You can also email us at info@downingtownparanormal.com and we’ll put you on our mailing list and you’ll be notified when future events are coming up.

Would be ghost hunters getting schooled.

DAPI’s first class is off to a great start. We have 10 brave soles in the class and everything is going great.  Everyone seems like they are enjoying themselves and hopefully learning something. When we asked the class why they took the course the answers ranged from interest to having experiences of their own.

We had one student who has had 2 personal experiences the night of the investigation. In first incidence she was engulfed in a cold spot. In the second incidence she was standing next to a partition wall in the upstairs girls room bathroom (which always seems to have something paranormal going on) and the wall pushed in toward her. There was no one else in the room with her at the time.

This has also been a great experience for DAPI as well. We’ve met a great group of people who share the driving interest of DAPI, and that is to discover and document paranormal activity.

DAPI was formed out of a like class a few years ago. Hopefully if they have the desire,this class could start it’s own ghost hunting group.

We’ll probably be doing similar classes in the near future so keep checking our web site for information. www.downingtownparanormal.com

You can also sent us an email requesting that we add your email to our mailing list and when we have future events in place we’ll send you an email letting you know that an event or class is being offered. info@downingtownparanormal.com

D.A.P.I. is holding Class.

D.A.P.I.is proud to announce; The Ghost Hunting Experience with Downingtown Area Paranormal Investigators. This class is available through DARC Downingtown Area Recreational Consortium. http://www.darcinfo.com/

The class runs for 4 weeks on Sundays, April 3, 10, 17, and May 1 from 7Pm to 9 PM at the Alert 1 Fire house. As you may or may not know the Alert 1 Fire house was a featured stop on the Downingtown Ghost Walk the last two years and is considered to be one of the more haunted locations in the town. This is good news for the class participants because you stand a good chance of capturing evidence of the several sprits know to inhabit the station.

DAPI is linking Evidence

DAPI is linking evidence with the investigations on the Investigation page. New evidence is being added everyday so please check us out at http://www.downingtownparanormal.com/investigations.html

One of the things you’ll see is a piece of video footage that is the best evidence that we’ve captured to date. You can check it out here. http://www.downingtownparanormal.com/Basement%20Miner.html

We have a lot of exciting events coming up in the next few months. Keep checking the web site for updates.

Ghost Walk Pictures posted

Hi all,
we just posted photographs from the 2010 Downingtown Ghost Walk on our site. www.downingtownparanormal.com We will be posting more photos as we get them.

Thanks again for coming out to the walk. It was awesome meeting so many people who are interested in this field of Investigation, or just hearing scary voices.

Also coming soon we will be posting evidence from our public investigation at the Springton Manor Farm. This was a great investigation that we did with about 65 people split into 3 groups. Almost everyone had an experience.

Downingtown Ghost Walk 2010 a bid success.

The 2010 Downingtown Ghost Walk 2010 was a big success this year. We had over 750 people for the two nights. Everybody enjoyed themselves and had a great time.

Here is what one brave sole had to say about the walk - Karen; " I did the walk last year and was fascinated with the information and evidence DAPI presented. So this year I recommended it t o a friend who I know loves this kind of stuff, and this is the email I received today, the day after.... I have been on ghost walks in Cape May NJ, Salem Mass. Ocean City NJ, Gettysburg (a few times) and now Downingtown. Downingtown was the best!!! They did a great job".

What makes our Ghost Walk different or should i say the best is that we investigate the stops on the walk. We then in most cases will invite you into the location during the walk where we will present our findings to you.

People had a lot of questions for us this year. Unfortunately there wasn't enough time to answer all question. But we may have come up with a way to answer all questions for future walks and we'll talk about it more later in the year.

I would like to ask all Downingtown residents and everyone in the Tri-state area to tell us your Ghost story. We would love to hear it and if you want us to we will come and investigate your house and see if we can find out who is hanging around.

Keep checking the our web site http://www.downingtownparanormal.com/ for pictures and other ghostly happenings that was the 2010 Ghost Walk.

Thanks to everyone who came out for the Walk and we look forward to seeing you next year.

A Breakdown Of Our Investigation Process

• The first thing we do when at a place of interest is to get a tour of the area by the client. This is when we see the areas that have the most activity as well as listen to the personal experiences that people may have had at any particular time.
• After the initial tour we would then discuss where the perfect spots for our IR(infrared) cameras would be and set-up.
• We then break up into groups of 3 or 4, depending on the size of the building or grounds. Each group then goes to a designated area, such as a particular floor in a house, to collect evidence. Typically we have 30 minutes to an hour at each designated area in which we do a rotation. A usual investigation last between 2 to 3 hours.
• Upon collecting possible evidence, we then gather and pack up all the equipment that we had set up at the beginning of the investigation. This then concludes the physical investigation.
• We then individually review any digital voice recordings, digital photography, and video that we had captured throughout the physical investigation. At this time we extract anything of interest, a possible EVP(electronic voice phenomenon), a unique photo, or even a personal experience to share with the rest of the group.
• Upon our personal review, we then hold an evidence review where we share our findings with one another. This is when we as a group, consider whether a recording is an actual EVP. We also examine photos that we feel could be something paranormal. The evidence then gets gathered together to form our reveal.
• Two to three weeks after our physical investigation we meet back with the client and reveal any evidence that was captured.
