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.

 The show is better December 1, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I am a fan of ghost hunters, although i believe that their results are to say the least exaggerated. But it is entertaining, and I expected the book to be the same. However, it has nothing you couldnt learn from watching the show. I am a paranormal investigator, and was hoping to learn a few tips, but did not. With all of the exposure that TAPS gets on television, I hope any subsequent books will at least be a little more educational.
 Very Compelling Reading November 30, 2008
I am a fan of Ghosthunters on TV, I really enjoyed reading this book, it was one of those books that once I started reading it I couldn't put it down until I finished it. If only I would be able to see more of this evidence that is described in the chapters of this book on TV though and not just in print. I found it very entertaining and compelling to read, if you a fan of the TV show like me I definetly recommend buying this book
Ghost Hunting November 18, 2008
An avid fan of Ghost Hunters I watch the show religously every week. I think Jason and Grant's methods for investigating the paranormal are sound and add merit to a field of investigation that was not always taken seriously. Especially when their methods are first and foremost to debunk a haunting rather than prove it. This book is in addition to several books I already have on hand on the subject to conduct my own research with. I've had numerous experiences of my own with the supernatural while growing up with my siblings, relatives and even a few friends who've also had their fair share of disturbing experiences while at the house we were living in at the time. At present my mom still lives there. The experiences themselves went on for about 17 years or so between all of us and it is believed there is still activity in that house even now. Nonetheless, these experiences in my life have left an indelible impression on my family and myself and continue to even to this day. Hence the avid interest I still have in this subject. It's a great book for my own collection and I highly recommended it to anyone interested in further study or research into this topic.
 Almost an "Episodes" Synopsis November 15, 2008
"Ghost Hunting" can almost be described as written summaries of several investigations from the TV series. Any fan searching for new material will probably be disappointed, although there are commentaries and anecdotes providing some insight to the "behind-the-scenes" aspects of the covered investigations, and the thoughts and feelings of Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson. Several of the pictures are interesting as well. For a fan of Ghost Hunters insistent on owning all memorabilia or seeking more detail regarding their investigations, this may be for you. For anyone else, I would recommend purchasing the DVD's of the series. Ghost Hunters - The Complete First Season
Best show on Sci-Fi gets a book November 12, 2008
For fans of the show its a little redundant but adds some background stuff that's interesting. Being a fan of the show, you either believe in ghosts or think these guys are greatest conmen of all time. Nice to see their differences from the "I-Feel-Someone's-In-The-Room" approach to discoveries of the paranormal.
