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.

This is a compilation of TAPS from 1996-2006 on "Ghost Hunters" SyFy. It is interesting reading. Jason Hawes tells the stories and Grant Wilson has a small aside on each story.
These guys are the real deal.Reviewed by Patricia Murphy, 2010-03-01
What Did Jesus Really Say-How Christianity Went Astray: [What To
Say To A Born Again Christian Fundamentalist, But Never Had The
Information] -- by Peter Cayce [2005]
I've been watching Ghost Hunters (via satellite and in the States)
from almost the very beginning. I've now seen the original programs
and have read the books of Jason and Grant too. I have to say that
I believe that ghosts may exist, but I want some kind of evidence.
Some kind of proof. These investigators -- and their paranormal
investigation team -- work on the same premise. They attempt to
"debunk" paranormal claims, but when they gather evidence that is
hard to "debunk" or "dispute," they are left with evidence that may
actually support life after death (i.e., ghost, paranormal
activity).
While Ghost Hunters works with a scientific leaning by utilizing
technical equipment from EMF meters / K2 meters, digital
thermometers, night vision cameras and thermal sensor equipment,
etc., other paranormal programs utilize spirit mediums and the
like. While I do not discount psychic mediums and sensitives, their
evidence is hard to prove or "debunk." Nevertheless, programs like
"Paranormal State" and "Paranormal Cops" (broadcast on A&E)
have their place as well. They are certainly interesting. Psychic
mediums like John Edward and Chip Coffee are quite interesting. In
fact, I've been watching John Edward for many years. He's gotten a
bit "mushy" as of late (even for WE) -- his original program on
SyFy used to display his medium abilities more readily. In short,
more readings.
Writers and psychic researchers like Peter Cayce are also quite
interesting. Peter Cayce utilizes Science, Philosophy and Religion
to come up with explanations for the afterlife and reincarnation
and Karma. Interesting material.
In any case, the paranormal field is an interesting one. I'd really
like to see more programs about legitimate psychics and paranormal
investigators like Ghost Hunters, John Edward and Peter
Cayce.

Ghost Hunter fansReviewed by Jackie D. Depalm, 2010-02-23
I very much enjoyed reading this book, getting some insights on things that happen behind the scenes that you may not see in the TV show. An easy, fun read.
Such a lazy workReviewed by Anonymous, 2010-01-18
This book is just a catalogue of their research and does not go into any of the details. They just go to a place on request and record whatever phenomenon that are there and pack up and leave. One paranormal activty can make a book if you really look into the background. This is a sad excuse for a book.
Just like the show...Reviewed by Jason D. Snyder, 2009-12-25
The book reads like the show on Syfy, with each chapter like an episode. If you like the show, then you will probably like the book.
