Ghost Hunters - Complete First Season (DVD, 2005, 3-Disc Collector's Edition)

At first you think this show may be just like any other. I learned about this show through word of mouth. I sat down to watch it one night and have been a full fledged fan of it ever since.

Jason Hawes- Founder of T.A.P.S.(The Atlantic Paranormal Society) & Grant Wilson- Co-Founder of T.A.P.S. are two of the most down to earth people I've ever seen on TV.
They do not set the goal for finding Paranormal Activity, they try to debunk it first, which in itself is truly unique.

I have never watched a show where they investigate a place reported to have Paranormal Activity that tries to find normal everyday occurrences to solve the so called "haunting", but this show does just that.
It is not all hyped up to prove a haunting for ratings but rather to disprove a haunting for the people who contact them. They are more focused on alleviating fears for thier clients with simple but thorough investigating rather than hyping it up and automatically saying it's haunted.

As Jason Hawes has said numerous times 80% of hauntings can be disproved by simple everyday activities and thorough investigations. The whole T.A.P.S. team is very professional and down to earth. They are funny, serious, off color at times yet very professional in thier field. They take every investigation seriously and each member listens to the clients complaints on what has been happening and first focuses on finding a solution rather than finding a ghost.

Now mind you not every show turns up evidence of Paranormal Activity and the reason being is because T.A.P.S. has found other reason for certain complaints.

For example: In one episode a lady complained that every once in a while the "ghost" would double knock, on what felt like to her, the hardwood floor above the basement. When T.A.P.S. went to investigate they found that everytime the heating unit kicked on 2 boards that were leaning up against the air duct would bounce off of it and hit together twice.

This is how it is with every show. 80% of the complaint in most cases can be solved by simple common sense and thorough investigations.

I have also seen AMAZING footage of Paranormal Activity on this show as well. Jaw dropping at times. Thier professionalism, even when they find evidence, is top notch. They will go back to where they found the evidence and try 10 ways from Sunday to figure out why it occured and sometimes they find that another factor has caused the activity and sometimes they can't.

This is the reason why I am forever faithful to T.A.P.S. and the Ghost Hunters show. REAL LIFE people searching for everyday occurrences to Paranormal complaints instead of ratings.

GHOST HUNTERS IS ONE OF THE BEST PARANORMAL SHOWS ON TV!
