Product Description
The Atlantic Paranormal Society, also known as T.A.P.S., is the brainchild of two plumbers by day, paranormal investigators by night: Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Their hair-raising investigations, fueled by their unique abilities and a healthy dose of scientific method, have made them the subject of a hit TV show: the SCI FI Channel's Ghost Hunters.Now their experiences are in print for the first time, as Jason and Grant recount for us, with the help of veteran author Michael Jan Friedman, the stories of some of their most memorable investigations. The men and women of T.A.P.S. pursue ghosts and other supernatural phenomena with the most sophisticated scientific equipment available -- from thermal-imaging cameras to electromagnetic-field recorders to digital thermometers -- and the results may surprise you. Featuring both cases depicted on Ghost Hunters and earlier T.A.P.S. adventures never told before now, this funny, fascinating, frightening collection will challenge everything you thought you knew about the spirit world.

 ghost hunting tales October 4, 2008
I really enjoyed this elaboration on investigations T.A.P.S. has performed, many of them the same ones seen on the sci-fi channel. Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson's personalities came through nicely and the details of the haunts really did send chills up my spine. I think I will leave the investigating,,and the book writing..to these fine experts of the paranormal. Great book!
You won't be sorry you bought this one. October 4, 2008
This is a FANTASTIC read...I couldn't put this one down until I turned over the back cover! Chalk up another success for Jason and Grant!
 Big Ghost Hunters Fan Disappointed.... September 24, 2008
I have been watching Ghost Hunters religiously for 2 years. I have seen many of the episodes that have aired. I was so excited about the book but had previously read some reviews that hinted the book was based on scenes from the shows. Based on that information, I waited until I could get the book from the local library. I brought the book home and showed my husband. I couldn't wait to dig into the book to get some behind the scenes stories. The first few chapters of the book were new to me and interesting. I was extremely disappointed to find a few chapters in were practically verbatim from the TV show. Almost to the point where I was going to skip over them - but decided to read in case there was some additional information added - little bits here and there but not on every case. All and all, I remain a diehard fan but hope any future books will include information that hasn't been aired on their television show. I'm glad I didn't spend the $14 on the book and read it for free!
A great companion book to any fan of the show! September 15, 2008
"If you set out to prove a haunting, anything will seem like evidence. If you set out to disprove it, you will end up with only those things you can't explain away." That quote by Grant Wilson, co-founder alongside Jason Hawes of T.A.P.S. (The Atlantic Paranormal Society), pretty much sums up what these guys do. They may be plumbers for Roto Rooter by day but they are ghost hunters by night, approaching every possible case with scientific methods and equipment looking for all logical explanations before jumping the gun to claim a place as haunted; and they get just as much satisfaction debunking cases as they do actually finding evidence.
GHOST HUNTING: True Stories Of Unexplained Phenomena From The Atlantic Paranormal Society features a quick and easy read of early-on cases Jay and Grant took on as well as some more familiar ones as seen on their hit reality series, GHOST HUNTERS. There's also a brief history as to how TAPS (formerly known as RIPS) came to be, along with some color photos of spectral images caught on camera.
A must have for any fan of the show... August 21, 2008
If you're a fan of the show Ghost Hunters or just into the paranormal, you'll love this book. These guys take a totally practical and trustworthy stance on hauntings and the paranormal- trying to disprove it all... and catching some crazy awesome evidence and experiences in the mean time. I found reading the backstory of how TAPS came to be founded super interesting and brought up a lot of things that the guys never talk about on the show.
I can't wait for more from Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson.
