"We're Here to Help"



I know Im not the only one obsessed with this show lol. As a paranormal skeptic (in my case meaning that I *completely* believe in the paranormal, but Im very skeptical of stories, photographs, sounds, etc all claiming to be proof of something paranormal. 90% its not), its the only ghost show I believe. Their method of assuming everything has a normal explanation and their efforts to debunk everything leave me in awe. Most of the time, they review their data collected over the night just to tell the homeowners they found nothing. I really appreciate the honesty and that TAPS isnt willing to give that up.

Not to mention, the founders, Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson, are men who put their family first. Multiple times Syfy asked if they would consider making TAPS a tv show, and multiple time they refused. Finally they agreed and here we are now. So what would they have to gain by being dishonest with their fans by turning it into... oh, I dont know, Destination Truth (where they just so happen to find something in every episode)? I think theyd rather lose the show completely than lie.



Here are a few of the strangest things theyve ever found on the show. One of my favorite episodes is the one at St. Augustine Lighthouse which starts at 6:09. My other favorite (which I didnt see on this compilation sadly, unless I skipped past it) is the Stanley Hotel. Oh man... that one is absolutely intense. The evidence caught there was impressive enough to make them go back several time. Check it out on Youtube if you havent seen it!
