I visited Chris and Jessica’s Delaware Mortuary Museum on June 24th, 2023 after meeting them at the Pennhurst Paracon. They were extremely welcoming and excited to have someone conduct an investigation as they firmly believed they had items that had attachments, if you visit, pay respect to Karen.
Upon arrival, Jessica brought us in, and she and Chris gave us a walk-through of the two-story space. They told the history of some of the items but graciously avoided giving hints or the standard “this item is haunted.”
We kicked off the investigation by placing cameras, rem-pods, and a recorder in Karen’s coffin. Immediately, we started getting K2 and rem-pod hits/responses. Whatever the spirit is seemed to follow Mike throughout the museum. Ultimately, we concluded the night by gathering around Karen’s coffin and dress and letting Chris and Jessica try to make contact and talk to her.
The museum was a great experience, the hosts are great and are passionate about their museum, their unseen guests, and providing the public with an opportunity to learn more about mortuaries and the items used to preserve and honor the deceased.
I would without a doubt visit/investigate this location again.

Everyone loves a follow-up! On August 25th, I made my return to the Delaware Mortuary Museum to see what activity could be stirred up and captured. Unlike the first visit, this investigation focused on the basement. We had previously focused on both the first floor and basement. As noted above, the first floor was extremely active due to Karen’s coffin, and dress (I believe). Our second investigation did not disappoint! Much like any investigation, we had the typical conversation with the hosts, discussing any new activity or phenomenon that we should note and then we set off to set up equipment, do preliminary readings with equipment. Almost immediately we had responses with our K2s and rem-pod. We heard knocking behind their newest addition a medical skeleton and walking around the first floor, in both instances, we talked with the hosts and they confirmed that there were on the second floor of their building.
After some time, I estimate about an hour, we brought the owners of the building to the basement to act as trigger objects. I suggested that Chris layout rules for the spirits to abide by since they had had issues with their animals being scared and issues with electronics being manipulated. We were all astonished at what occurred after Chris gave his list of rules. It sounded like someone was dragging something through their kitchen, which was directly above us. Chris immediately went upstairs to make sure no one had come into their house and confirmed that we were the only “living” people in the house.
