These are the type of reports that I like to read. Solid paranormal/poltergeist experiences being told of by homeowners and possible evidence caught on tape.
The Sioux Falls Investigative Paranormal Society is trying to help the homeowners who would like a little peace and quiet in their home.

In this digital age, people have become so wired, they’re even reaching out to “the other side.” The availability of high-tech equipment has emboldened more people to embark on a spooky form of scavenger hunt, in search of ghosts. Inspired by the ghost hunting shows on cable TV, paranormal investigators are making house calls in Sioux Falls.

Some strange events have been taking place inside this central Sioux Falls home. According to the homeowners, who didn’t want their faces on camera, objects suddenly move on their own. Kids toys switch on when no one’s nearby. Same with the lights and the stereo. But the kicker came when they say someone, or something, laced up a pair of empty snow boots.

“Really tight, perfectly done, perfect bows, thought it was a practical joke by somebody and found out nobody had ever touched my boots,” homeowner “Jason” said.

The homeowners say they aren’t scared by what’s been happening, only curious about why it’s happening. So they called on members of the Sioux Falls Investigative Paranormal Society, otherwise known as SIPS.

“I’m a believer, yes. I’ve never actually seen a ghost, but I’d like to,” SIPS Case Manager Travis Stanga said.

The members of SIPS pack along a healthy dose of skepticism with their ghost hunting gear. They’re much more likely to debunk claims of the paranormal than buy into them.

“Ninety percent of things, hauntings and such are, there’s an explanation out there. We might not know what the explanation is, but there’s something scientifically-based that we can say ‘okay, no it is this,'” SIPS Lead Investigator Ken Creamer said.

The SIPS team set up digital cameras in the house hoping to catch images of things that might go bump in the night. They also carry around digital audio recorders in case a ghost is in a talkative mood.

Then there’s this gizmo. It detects electro-magnetic fields, the kind that are emitted from household appliances and electrical outlets. The theory goes that in order for a ghost to appear, it first has to draw energy from a source in the physical realm. So if the detector starts beeping wildly, then, supposedly, a ghost could be nearby.

There’s a certain protocol to follow when you’re ghost hunting. For instance, if you smoke, no lighting up during the course of the investigation, because the cameras that are set up throughout the house might mistake the smoke for a ghost. Also, no whispering.

“You’re whispering to your friend and it comes up on the digital recorder and not any proof. So we try to maintain a certain protocol to eliminate false positive evidence,” Creamer said.

About an hour into the investigation, the SIPS team decides to try and goad any ghosts into making their presence known. After repeated calls to whomever may be listening, something happens that startles even these experts.

Sure enough, that electromagnetic field detector went off with a frenzy. There may very well be a perfectly good explanation for it firing up out of the blue, but it’s left the SIPS team baffled.

“That’s the first time it ever went off without us logically knowing what’s going on,” Stanga said.

Granted, it’s no proof of the paranormal. The SIPS team is classifying this electrical outburst as “unexplained.” But what about the mystifyingly footwear? Well, the laces remain untied. Perhaps during this investigation the ghost found it more fashionable to try out an electronic boo than try on boots.

The SIPS team formed a couple of years ago among a group of co-workers. They’ve investigated about a dozen homes in the Sioux Falls area. They pay for their own equipment and do not charge for investigations.
