Date cells

I am trying to read an excel file and I am struggling with Date fields.  I have a column that has a custom date format applied to the whole column and there is no data in it.  When I attempt to read this column (cell.getDateCellValue()) I would expect it to return null.  But it is returning today's date.  By the way, getCellType returns 'Numeric'.  Is there anyway for me to detect that that cell is empty?
