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.

More Episode Recap Then Behind The Scenes
Imagine if you were to recap the best episodes of Ghost Hunters first two seasons. That is what half of what reading Ghost Hunting is like, reading everything you have already seen on TV. The first half of the book talks about the start of TAPS, how Jason was introduced to the world of the paranormal, and cases he and Grant investigated before the show started. And those cases are far more hair raising than anything you will see on Sci-Fi, including TAPS encountering an Incubus, possession, and summoned entities. After these stories, we are given retreads of what we have seen on TV. The information in these encounters offer little insight, and sometimes feel like they were being written by someone watching the show, and not an active participant. Want to know how being part of a TV show has impacted their investigations, some of the cases that happen between episodes that are televised, or some greater insight into what you have seen on TV? Unfortunately you won't find those answers in this book. The first half of the book is incredible and sometimes frightening. As for the second half, I have already seen these stories on TV.

Loved it!
This book was a quick read but a fun one. Some of the stories were familiar from seeing them on tv but it was neat to kind of go "behind the scenes" so to say. I would definetly recommend this book.

Loved it!
If you even passingly like the show, you will definitely like this book. First of all, it is a good quick read, with good flow from chapter to chapter and fascinating stories that really get you into the Ghost Hunters' heads. Second, it explains in depth the methodology that the TAPS family uses, and their skeptical nature; I love that these guys are looking for more than phantom "orbs" and EVPs. They are really after irrefutable proof of the paranormal, and as this book evolves, you learn that even though they have experienced just that, they know that their work will never be over until they can capture evidence that could change even the most hardened skeptic's mind. Truly fascinating and gives you a new found respect for J and Grant and the TAPS family.
