They're team leaders for the Pennsylvania Paranormal Association (PPA), featured on the Animal Planet TV show "The Haunted."
Your chance to meet the members of the PPA team is Saturday at the "Spirit of Dessin" fundraiser being held at the Historic White Mills Fire Hall in White Mills, 6 p.m. to 10 p.m.
The cost is 5 per person with all proceeds benefiting the Dessin Animal Shelter's Spay and Neuter Program.
Event organizer Toni Lehutsky says it's lining up to be an exciting evening.
There will be demonstrations of ghost hunting equipment, talks about paranormal investigations, and a chance to meet Ben the PPA's K-9 Police trained mascot and ghost hunter.
A personal friend of her husband's, Lehutsky said Mr. Keyes takes a scientific approach to researching the paranormal.
"Mark is into quantum physics," she said.
"They don't charge the clients," she said. "They go into houses and debunk things."
Though sometimes a noise might be attributed to a loose pipe, etc., Lehutsky said the Keyes have come across the paranormal.
In Delaware County, they went to a home where something went flying across the room. "You hear this thing and it was a quarter that went flying and no one was in the house," Lehutsky said. "So they do have stuff like that that happens, but it doesn't happen in every home."
As for Ben, the ghost hunter, Lehutsky says, "A dog is more sensitive, in-tune to things. He'll see things they don't; he'll hear things they don't."
Psychic readings and photos with Ben are available for an additional charge.
Lehutsky says the psychic will also check the historic fire hall to see if any old firemen are hanging around.
Saturday's event is a way to get the word out about the PPA and raise money for the Dessin Animal Shelter's Spay ">GHOST HUNT BRINGS CLOSURE FOR FAMILY
journalstar - The ghosts of Nebraska Wesleyan University didn't materialize Friday but a call to spirits eased one survivor's guilt.
Carol Ready of Scribner has carried guilt since two sisters died more than three years ago in a rollover.
The 18-year-old frets over little things -- why didn't she play with them when they'd asked?
Days before the accident, Carol told her tomboy sister Beth, 11, she'd teach her how to put on makeup "later."
Well, later was too late, Carol said.
The girls died April 14, 2007, en route to Concordia University for its "Gathering of Talents." Beth and Erin, 7, were to sing solos at the festival.
"I felt like they died because I pushed them away," Carol said. "I thought it was God's punishment."
Carol's mother, Ruth Ready, carries guilt for losing control of the Suburban that flipped twice on Nebraska 79 near North Bend.
Closure has been hard for the family. Carol said there's a void that can't be filled.
But those who say they spoke with Beth and Erin Friday have this message -- the girls are happy on the other side and want their mortal family happy too.
Carol was able to "talk" to her two sisters with the help of paranormal expert Chris Moon, who was at Nebraska Wesleyan University Friday night.
Moon claims to have the ability to talk to the dead through a spirit phone, a device he says uses sound waves to convey messages between worlds. He travels the United States going into historically haunted houses to talk to ghosts.
It's rumored that Wesleyan's Old Main building and Johnson Hall are haunted. Multiple people say they've seen, heard or felt paranormal activity there throughout the years.
And it just so happens that Carol lives in Johnson Hall.
She didn't really believe in ghosts until Friday, when Moon used the spirit phone to talk to ghosts on her floor.
Moon asked people to start asking questions. Carol asked if Beth and Erin were there. Through the phone they said, "Yes, here."
"Is there a girl that's 7?"
"Yes."
"Is there another girl that's 11?"
"Yes. We are at home. Safe."
"Beth? Beth Ready?"
"Me. Hi. This is odd. We're cool," she giggled.
Carol started shaking; tears streamed down her face.
"That was Beth's voice and giggle. I will never forget that sweet voice," Carol said. "I remember one morning I woke her up by putting my hand on hers and she said, 'Hi!' That was the same hi I heard that morning."
Ten minutes later, the sisters asked for Carol. Carol hadn't said her name to the spirit phone, but a girl's voice asked to talk to Carol.
Carol asked, "Are you mad at me for not spending time with you?"
"No, we understand."
"Are you mad at Mom?"
"A little, because she is blaming herself and holding guilt."
"Every day Mom thinks about you girls."
Carol cried harder. Other students crowded around. Chris Moon teared up too.
Carol grabbed her cell phone and called her parents, who aren't big into ghost tales. But Carol didn't care, she needed to tell her mom to stop feeling guilty.
"It feels so good to know that they weren't blaming me for not spending time with them before they died," Carol said.
The idea that the dead can communicate with humans is weird until you've experienced for yourself, said Joe Pritchard, a Wesleyan student who stayed overnight in Old Main on Friday with about 30 people waiting for the ghost of Clara Mills to appear.
Brittany Gunther, another Wesleyan student, claimed she talked to her cousin and aunt through the spirit telephone.
"She recognized her cousin's voice right away, Pritchard said. "You have to be there to understand what we heard and saw."
