Did you know Edit. Quotes Jason Hawes : When in doubt, get the Hell out. Connections Featured in Syfy 20th Anniversary Special User reviews 81 Review. Top review. Reality TV - Ghost Investigations. A reality show that documents the efforts of part-time ghost hunters.
The group of individuals, called TAPS, and led by Grant and Jason, Roto-Rooter Plumbers full-time, are called upon to investigate private homes and public buildings by those who believe they are experiencing supernatural phenomenon.
The ghost-hunters employ what they perceive as a scientific approach to investigation of the paranormal. Psychics are seldom in accompaniment and cameras and various other recorders and filming devices are used in the examination of the various sites that the Hunters choose to investigate.
Given the minimal amount of "scientific" evidence of haunting that is obtained, it is easy to recognize that the show is not completely staged. In fact, the plugs for Roto Rooter and meetings with family members by the investigators are the only obvious staged filming. Oddly enough, the camera personnel often focus on the TAPS members during moments of supernatural occurrence rather than zooming in on the ghostly activities. The show has soap opera like qualities as much as soap opera has life-like qualities.
The show focuses not only on ghost hunting, but also on the personal squabbles and bickering among TAPS members. The TAPS members are very down-to-earth, but professional and committed to helping those who are alarmed or curious about potential haunts.
Its not long that you become acquainted with the central characters, Brian, Steve, Grant, and Jason, and familiar with their personal pitfalls and strengths. Occasionally the show manifests its quest for ratings, but seldom delivers anything that will make your heart peak the Richter scale. You will either grow to love or hate the characters, and expect disappointment in the way of ghost investigation after repeated viewing.

Paranormal Investigators employ hi-tech tools while on the job, such as EVP recorders. Cast members on shows like Ghost Hunters will often decipher what these recorders pick up, relaying words from beyond to the audience. Part of what adds to the spooky atmospheres on Ghost Hunters is that most of it takes place in the dark.
According to Ranker , the cover of night enables the show to trick audiences with camera tricks. All it may take to keep a paranormal investigator going is what they hear from others. It might sound like a bad mark against a business if it becomes haunted.
Yet a report in Cracked suggests otherwise. Paranormal investigators who sat down with the source claim that certain businesses benefit from the added tourism it brings. They even welcome investigations such as TAPS provides, as it has the potential to bring more attention to the location. Everyone knows TV shows can get carried away with doing this though to inject excitement in episodes. If someone does a difficult job purely for the thrill of it, people tend to look up to them.
When sitting around a campfire, everyone loves a good ghost story. They cite an episode that took place on a plantation with a scary story tied to the setting that many Ghost Hunters believed. After some research though, an investigator found out a key character in the tale was never real. TAPS is more than a group of paranormal investigators going from haunted residence to the next—it's also a business. Grunge reports that TAPS states to be a non-profit organization and also admit to financing its tech from donations.
Yet others claim the producers buy their equipment, which raises an eyebrow. Share Share Tweet Email. Related Topics Celebrity. David Schmidt 58 Articles Published.
