Ghost Hunter Named ‘October Volunteer of the Month’

CAPE MAY – Don Baldo, founder of Ghost-One, a paranormal investigative team, has been named the October 2011 Volunteer of the Month for the Mid-Atlantic Center for the Arts & Humanities.
MAC’s Manager of Tour Operations Rosemary Rombado nominated Baldo to recognize his volunteer work with MAC tour guides at the Emlen Physick Estate, 1048 Washington St., Cape May, N.J. Baldo’s Philadelphia research firm has been in operation since 1985. He has volunteered for MAC by demonstrating for tour guides how his team does a paranormal investigation.
Since December, 2009, Baldo and his team have conducted paranormal investigations for MAC at two of Cape May’s historic landmarks, the Cape May Lighthouse and the Emlen Physick Estate. Baldo’s team uses audio and visual equipment and attempts to document paranormal activity, including EVPs (electric voice phenomenon) and full-body apparitions. Rombado said her first experience hearing an EVP came from a Ghost-One investigation at the Physick Estate. “I was thrilled to death. I was at home listening to a recording and kept playing it over and over. I heard ‘for the family’ after I asked whether anyone was cooking, when we were in the kitchen. It was an answer to the question.”
Baldo has conducted several Full Moon investigations in 2011 at the Physick Estate with interesting results and more are being planned.
