The Hoover House Investigation: When the House Starts Talking Back
I've walked into hundreds of locations over the years, and I go into every single one of them looking for the most rational explanation possible. The Hoover House was no different — at least, that was the plan. What happened inside those walls during this investigation made even me stop mid-sentence and reassess everything we thought we knew about what was going on there.

Inside the Haunted Hoover House: Investigating One of Pennsylvania's Most Active Paranormal Locations
When JV and I pulled up to the Historic 1912 Hoover House in Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, I immediately understood why this place has been drawing investigators from across the country. Built over a century ago and shaped by more lives — and deaths — than most buildings ever see, this elegant bed-and-breakfast wears its history openly, and so does its reputation for the unexplained. But reputation alone has never been enough for me — I needed to get inside, talk to the people who know it best, and decide for myself what's really going on here.

First Look Inside the Hoover House: What We Found Before the Investigation Even Started
Every serious investigation starts long before the lights go out. Before we set up a single piece of equipment at the Hoover House, I wanted to walk through the location myself, get a feel for the space, and understand what we were actually dealing with. What you see in the daylight tells you a lot about what you might encounter in the dark.

After the Investigation: Your Questions Answered Live with Jason Hawes
There's something I've always believed — the conversation doesn't end when we pack up the equipment and walk out the door. Some of the best moments in paranormal investigation happen in the hours after, when we sit down, decompress, and talk through what we experienced with the people who matter most: you. That's exactly what this live session was all about.

When the Paranormal Gets Personal: Investigating a Location Where Staff Are Being Targeted
When we get a call saying employees are afraid to come to work, that's when I know an investigation can't wait. It's one thing to have guests report strange experiences — it's another when the people who spend the most time in a location, the ones who know every creak and quirk of the building, start saying something is specifically coming after them. That's the case that brought my team out for this investigation, and I'll be honest with you: what we documented here gave even me reason to pause.

Going Live: Inside a Real-Time Paranormal Investigation with TAPS
There's something different about going live — no edits, no cuts, no second takes. When I take TAPS into a location in real time with you watching alongside us, every creak, every shadow, and every piece of evidence gets examined exactly as it happens. That's the kind of transparency I've always believed paranormal investigation deserves.

Investigating the Dedham Museum: When Something Feels Wrong and You Can't Explain Why
Some locations announce themselves the moment you walk through the door. The Dedham Museum was one of those places — not with a dramatic bang or a disembodied voice, but with something quieter and harder to shake: the persistent feeling that the environment itself wasn't behaving the way it should. That feeling is exactly what we're trained to chase down and disprove, and it's exactly what kept us working through the night.

What the Archives Reveal: Digging Into Dedham's Hidden History Before We Investigate
Before I ever set foot in a location with a single piece of equipment, I do my homework. History doesn't lie — and when you're trying to figure out whether something genuinely unexplained is happening in a place, understanding what that place has been through is the first and most important step. That's exactly why my visit to the Dedham Museum and Archives stopped me in my tracks.

The Real Conjuring House, Post-Surgery Recovery, and Your Questions Answered
There are few cases in the paranormal world that generate more questions than the real house behind The Conjuring — and after my recent surgery, I finally had the time to sit down, take your calls, and address some of the things I've been wanting to talk about for a while. This wasn't a formal investigation recap, but it turned into one of the most honest conversations I've had with the community in years. Pull up a chair, because we had a lot to cover.

Investigating the Dedham Museum & Archives: History, Silence, and What Hides in the Quiet
Some of the most compelling investigations I've ever done happen in places where the history is so dense you can almost feel it pressing against you before you even unpack a single piece of equipment. The Dedham Museum & Archives is exactly that kind of location — a repository of centuries of New England history housed within walls that have absorbed more human experience than most people ever stop to consider. When I walked through those doors, I wasn't walking in looking for ghosts. I was walking in looking for answers.

Investigating the Unexplained at Oneonta's History Center: What We Found Inside
Some locations carry weight the moment you walk through the door — a heaviness you can't quite explain but can't ignore either. Oneonta's History Center was one of those places. We went in with our usual approach: find every rational explanation first, and only then consider whether something else might be at work.

Why I Let the Evidence Speak for Itself: Transparency Without Speculation in Paranormal Investigation
After decades of investigating claims of the paranormal, the one thing I've learned above everything else is this: the moment you start filling in the blanks with what you want to find, you've stopped investigating and started storytelling. Transparency isn't just a personal value for me — it's the foundation of every single case I take on. If we can't be honest about what we don't know, we have no business calling ourselves investigators.

Investigating the Oneonta History Center: What the Ghosts of Old Oneonta Are Trying to Tell Us
Before you ever set foot inside a location with cameras rolling and equipment armed, the most important work you can do is sit down, shut up, and listen. That's exactly what brought me to the Oneonta History Center — a building soaked in local history and, according to the people who work and live near it, something else entirely. This is the story of what I found before the investigation even began.

When History Has a Pulse: Investigating the Secrets Hidden Inside These Walls
Some locations carry their past like a weight you can feel the moment you walk through the door. When we got the call about this building, the history alone was enough to make it worth our time — but as we quickly discovered, history wasn't the only thing waiting for us inside. What we found during this investigation challenged even my most grounded explanations.
