Ghost Hunters paranormal investigators Tv show

The Ghost Hunters television show is one of my favourite paranormal shows to watch. Ghost Hunters is a paranormal investigative show which stars Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson who started TAPS, the Atlantic Paranormal Society.

The TV show premiered back in October of 2004 on the Sci Fi Channel which has now since changed its name to the Syfy Channel. Jason and Grant originally worked as Plumbers for Roto-Rooter and did their investigating at night and on weekends and the original shows would actually show them doing their plumbing jobs and receiving calls regarding a new case to investigate.

The pair along with other investigators now Ghost Hunt full time. When Ghost Hunters was aired solely on Sci Fi it pulls in some of the highest ratings on that channel. The show is now aired on NBC Universal, Oxygen and OLN in Canada.

I enjoy watching Ghost Hunters because I truly believe the show to be real and that there is no acting and that when there are paranormal or other occurrences they are real and not set up.

The crew and show have been accused many times that what they are seeing or hearing is fake but TAPS ensures that everything that happens on their show is real not fake.

One thing I like about this Ghost hunting show is that the crew always tries to see if they can dismiss and give an explainable reason for whatever might have happened whether it is a strange light or noise and sometimes even a human image.

 The format of the show is great and goes like this. The TAPS crew shows up at the place to be investigated meeting with the owner or an employee and is shown around the premises and all of the hot spots are pointed out.

Hot spots are the areas where there has been some sort of unexplainable activity. Once the crew gets the tour they decide where to set up equipment to video tape and record sounds.

Once that is completed they shut the lights and power off and equipped with digital recorders, digital thermometers, EMF detectors, night vision cameras they split up to investigate the area.

Sometimes they take turns entering the building especially if it is a smaller location like a home.  Once TAPS has investigated the site for most of the evening and into the early morning they wrap things up and pack up all of their equipment and head back to the hotel they are staying at unless they are lucky enough to be investigating close to home.

Over the next few days they go through all of the hours of video and audio footage looking for evidence of anything unexplainable. After gathering that data they bring what they have found if anything to their contact at the location investigated and present them with the evidence if they found any.

They offer any help they can in helping the residents learn how to deal with the situation.

Then they are off to the next location. If you can’t get enough of Ghost Hunters you can also catch Ghost Hunters spinoff show Ghost Hunters International which has a different mix of people who go out investigating some very old castles and homes.
