I thoroughly enjoyed the roundtable discussion. Though, I'm not exactly sure that was the best term to use for it. The reason being there was only Jason, Grant, Steve and Tango present. It would have been nice to have seen more TAPS members. At first, I thought this might detract from the enjoyment of the "discussion" but I was wrong. The insight into what drives Jason and Grant and, of course, Steve was absolutely worth tuning in for. One thing was clear ... Read More

Could Fort Delaware get any creepier? TAPS' first investigation of this Civil War era fort I thought was impressive enough. Well, the Live investigation yielded only more (and further) evidence that there's definitely something paranormal going on there. In fact, I'll go so far as to say that this Ghost Hunters investigation is now one of my favorites--at least, the results part of it. The Live part was definitely, well, boring. I could only stand a few hours of it before I had to call it quits ... Read More

I didn't get a chance to watch the entire thing, but from what I saw of this year's "live" investigation, I wasn't that impressed. To be honest, it seemed to me more like a "plug" promotion deal for every SciFi show on the air. Of course, last year, Josh Gates was the host--so that didn't really bother me. And, they did have an ECW wrestler as well--just like last time. However, we also had Amanda Tapping, which was all right, since I ... Read More

TAPS was off to California this week to investigate the said-to-be-haunted USS Hornet. Warships, especially ones that have seen action where the crew saw losses, definitely seem to be paranormal hotbeds. I remember the TAPS investigation of the USS North Carolina (which I've been on personally, though I never encountered anything like they did) and I recall the wealth of activity they were able to capture. So, my hopes were, of course, high that the guys would come off the USS Hornet ... Read More

TAPS was on Steve's turf this time round, hence "hometown" being used in the title. Theodore's, the first investigation, was of the most significance to Steve. An old bar and pool hall that he and his band (yes, band) had played at many times, and where he knew the manager and staff well. The whole site is more of a museum on all the upper floors than anything else, while the bottom floor contains the bar and restaurant. There's no doubt the ... Read More

As any long time viewer of Ghost Hunters knows, TAPS places particular priority on cases involving children. And that's what was going on at the Taylor's House (the first investigation). The family's 1-year-old (Aden, I believe) seemed as if he were being attacked by some sort of paranormal phenomena or entity--a shadow figure. In fact, supposedly, several times the boy would wake in the morning with scratch marks on his body. Also, the mother had stated that he was afraid to go into his room ... Read More

With the few stellar investigations we've seen in recent weeks (Buffalo Central Terminal, Three Sisters Inn, Vinoy Hotel), it was only a matter of time, of course, before that frenzied pace of paranormal findings for TAPS would come to a dismal halt. And, unfortunately, the brakes skidded the ride to a complete and utter stop at the Oak Alley Plantation. The team found very little, and it was forty minutes of ho-hum. Though, like always, we need to remember, "Ghosts don't always come out on cue." And ... Read More

Leaving New England well behind, TAPS headed this time down to Florida to investigate two historic St. Petersburg locales (or, should that be "haunts?"). And right from Mike Rowe's episode overview, I expected good things; but, you never know with the hype. However, the hype was definitely warranted. TAPS, I'll admit, had some rather interesting experiences to share. Though, I'll say one thing, it sure seems TAPS has been on a roll as of late; or, maybe, the producers decided to amp things ...

TAPS was back in Buffalo this week for the investigation of the Buffalo Central Terminal, an impressive art deco structure consisting of a 15-story office building and a huge cathedral-like main concourse, all connected together for a vast 500,000 square feet. Needless to say the guys had concluded a feat just getting things setup! The building currently has no operational elevators, of course, so every bit of gear had to be lugged up to the upper levels via stair; most of the activity it ... Read More

It's rare that we (the audience) get to experience any actual on-camera (that is to say from the show's camera crew's equipment) paranormal happenings on Ghost Hunters. Yet, tonight we truly did, I think, experience something definitely outside the norm. Then again, the Carriage Inn was, indeed, a place that, just due to its historical factor, invoked that feeling of creepiness that most of us usually associate with hauntings. Built in the 1760s, I had high hopes from the beginning for the Carriage Inn investigation. And I was not to ... Read More
