Get up close with The Ghosthunters Live! Learn their methods for tracking the paranormal! Hear unreal stories of true ghostly encounters!! Participate in a special live Q&A with the TAPS Team-Jason Hawes & Grant Wilson
Jason Hawes
Jason Hawes created The Atlantic Paranormal Society, or TAPS, with fellow plumber Grant Wilson. Both are part of a small, blue-collar Rhode Island community where many of the TAPS members were born and raised.
His own highly personal paranormal experience (which he prefers not to discuss) prompted Jason to do more than wonder about an afterworld. He launched TAPS from a spare room of his apartment.
Jason met Grant more than a decade ago, and they’re best friends. Jason’s three girls and twin boys consider Grant an adopted uncle, and Grant’s kids view Jason the same way. Their wives, also friends, respect TAPS’ mission, but keep their distance. Each has asked her husband not to bring his paranormal work home.
Jason enjoys chasing ghosts, obviously, but he also loves spending time with his kids, deep-sea fishing and writing screenplays— he has written four sci-fi/thriller stories
Grant Wilson
When Grant Wilson’s not hunting or plumbing, he’s whipping together an authentic Italian dish (he spent two years in Italy and speaks Italian fluently). He can also be spotted writing songs on the piano and guitar, and penning fantasy novels.
He and Jason Hawes met more than 10 years ago, and they live in the same small, blue-collar Rhode Island community where many of the TAPS members were born and raised.
Like Jason, Grant had a life-altering experience with the afterworld, and both prefer not to discuss the incidents. In doing the show, Grant has encountered human (“regular” ghosts) and inhuman (demons and such) hauntings.
Grant is humble, self-assured and inquisitive as TAPS searches for answers, and he is comfortable with unsolved events. Through the years, Grant and Jason have not forgotten why they do what they do – to find answers for themselves, and to help others who have experienced paranormal activity but don’t know what to do about it.
