Great book, just like the show!October 12, 2008 As an avid watcher of "Ghost Hunters", "Ghost Hunting" definitely lived up to the show. Described some cases i've seen on the show as well as ones i have not. Learned some great insight about the cast of TAPS.
ghost hunting talesOctober 4, 2008 I really enjoyed this elaboration on investigations T.A.P.S. has performed, many of them the same ones seen on the sci-fi channel. Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson's personalities came through nicely and the details of the haunts really did send chills up my spine. I think I will leave the investigating,,and the book writing..to these fine experts of the paranormal. Great book!
You won't be sorry you bought this one.October 4, 2008 This is a FANTASTIC read...I couldn't put this one down until I turned over the back cover! Chalk up another success for Jason and Grant!
Big Ghost Hunters Fan Disappointed....September 24, 2008 I have been watching Ghost Hunters religiously for 2 years. I have seen many of the episodes that have aired. I was so excited about the book but had previously read some reviews that hinted the book was based on scenes from the shows. Based on that information, I waited until I could get the book from the local library. I brought the book home and showed my husband. I couldn't wait to dig into the book to get some behind the scenes stories. The first few chapters of the book were new to me and interesting. I was extremely disappointed to find a few chapters in were practically verbatim from the TV show. Almost to the point where I was going to skip over them - but decided to read in case there was some additional information added - little bits here and there but not on every case. All and all, I remain a diehard fan but hope any future books will include information that hasn't been aired on their television show. I'm glad I didn't spend the $14 on the book and read it for free!
A great companion book to any fan of the show!September 15, 2008 "If you set out to prove a haunting, anything will seem like evidence. If you set out to disprove it, you will end up with only those things you can't explain away." That quote by Grant Wilson, co-founder alongside Jason Hawes of T.A.P.S. (The Atlantic Paranormal Society), pretty much sums up what these guys do. They may be plumbers for Roto Rooter by day but they are ghost hunters by night, approaching every possible case with scientific methods and equipment looking for all logical explanations before jumping the gun to claim a place as haunted; and they get just as much satisfaction debunking cases as they do actually finding evidence.
GHOST HUNTING: True Stories Of Unexplained Phenomena From The Atlantic Paranormal Society features a quick and easy read of early-on cases Jay and Grant took on as well as some more familiar ones as seen on their hit reality series, GHOST HUNTERS. There's also a brief history as to how TAPS (formerly known as RIPS) came to be, along with some color photos of spectral images caught on camera.
